✦ AI summary

Players praise this indie visual novel for its charming characters, compelling story, and queer representation, with many expressing genuine emotional investment in the protagonists Sasha and Mishka. However, some players report severe technical issues including infinite loading screens at startup that prevent them from accessing the game despite having high-end hardware, which appears to be a significant blocker for a portion of the playerbase.

How can I review something that's legit unplayable?? my specs and laptop have nothing to do with it i have an asus with ryzen 9 please explain to me how i can play high end graphics games with minimal lag and the second i open this dog defecation of a product I cannot get to the title screen as the hour glass is infinite. Giving me flashbacks to the sims 4 bug where everyone was stuck on those infinite loading screens if their mods were outdated/broken or whatever. You want money? good ratings? do better. I am genuinely disappointed characters with Russian names that promote negative instead of wholesome dynamics sounded amazing but oh well forget that since I can even get the crap to not give me an endless loading screen . worst part is no freezing no lag just this little hour glass going around in a circle for eternity.

It's a decently good visual novel. The plot is interesting and I enjoyed most of the characters enough to want to know how their stories ended. I think you could get a decent amount of hours out of it if you went through twice to see all of the options.
