I lost my favorite Ash tray. Child Protective Services took her.1 found this helpful
Un juego muy emotivo, la mayoría de los caminos me hicieron llorar (aunque soy fácil de hacer llorar). Esto fue hasta que uno de los finales involucra a la mujer fuerte e independiente transformándose en una diosa (peak).
Not Ash getting aggressively gendered on their id o7
Death
lots of emotions and a hard hitting story
This is a tender hearted visual novel that is adorable in its delivery, and bittersweet in its message. It's a good game, I'm glad that I played it and what it had to say on loneliness, connection, and our lives. Thanks to the developers for making this cute game.
