Very accurate transfem experience imo. I really liked the art style. If you are looking forward to playing it, just a note: It's a visual novel, so if you don't like them, it's probably not your type of game (I saw a lot of people complain, so I thought I'd add this).

A very cute game that touches a very delicate topic. It's very short (like 20 mins but it probably depends on which route u took) so it's worth giving it a try while not having much time on your hands. Over all i'm happy that something like this was created even though i'm not transsexual myslef.

Peak! Just play it, you won't regret! With all storylines, story is not that short as people say. Demonstration of transgender perspective is really beautiful and thoughtful. Characters are also well written, each has a background, it's surprising for such size. Thanks, npckc, that's amazing job! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) However, some of the story decisions weren't clear to me, e.g.: dialogues about Haru's name (Front desk and Erika). Personally, all answers felt neutral to me, somehow some of them are bad. And vice versa, answers I thought were bad, were actually neutral. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Who am I to judge anyways? Still a great game! <3

short and cute game with queer representation ! i found myself playing more and more to figure out the different routes and the art style reminds me of those sticker sheets you can buy which is seomthing i love collecting. i think this game captures the way trans people view certain things so it was quite insightful ! i want to buy the DLC soon ^^
