Learning to forgive yourself is sometimes one of the hardest things you can do, but in order to love yourself you need to forgive first.

Pretty nice visual novel, honestly. It is short but you still get attached to the characters, despite the relatively small story. Heavy themes are also talked about. I don't relate to them, but I can understand people who did. The whole style of the game is pretty nice, too. The music and the arts are really helping making it works. I liked the character design of Iris. However, this game isn't what I could consider ''finished,'' as I feel like some things in the story are lacking. You don't really see a growth from Iris, the MC, (even though some could argue that depression does just that, which I can understand) and I feel like a lot more could've been approached or talked about. The story feels a little hollow, too. Not to mentions a few typos here and there. But I still really liked this game. Maybe I just got so much into the story that I simply wished for it to be bigger. Who knows. But for something free, it is definitively worth it.

The music and artstyle of this vn gives a very good atmosphere and transmits the feelings and messiness for the story flawlessly. The story itself is deep, and it makes a very good (even if a bit short) read. 9/10 will read again in the future

An amazing story with a wonderful depiction of how depression affect the mental and physical self. Not for the faint of heart, but a must read if you can handle it safely.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
