Dream Ending

A compact after dinner dessert, yet it delivers a genuinely heartfelt emotional punch. Though there are plenty of regrets not fixed even by the side stories, this doesnt ruin its standing as a good work.

I am not crying you are! Dream ending is a sweet short story that personally was to me a story showing the importance of having the negative emotions and pain to enjoy the good and experience feelings with other people and building connections. Even at the worse end of the world a sweet romance can start and you can find meaning in the world and trying to tell us all of our experiences even in the short period of time we have in life it is all worth it.

I don't even know why I have this game. I tried it a little, and it's okay.

Start the story out with a wide array of info being fed to you and with some truly unlikable protagonists, yet as the story goes on there are specific bits of important plot lines and twists that get added which completely re-write my initial thoughts on the early segments. I love how the dev works these important bits of detail that completely change a stories narratives and how I view the characters. The ending was super bitter sweet but tied every thing together in the prettiest little bow. I highly recommend reading this novel if a short, sweet, and expansive love story tweaks your interest.
