    This is a wonderful game. Without spoiling too much, I found that I deeply identified with the events, revelations, and emotions that the player discovers throughout the course of the game. This game, while not identical to, tells a story that mirrors events that have occurred in my own life. I highly recommend this game, and while the puzzles can be difficult at times, the rewards and rich storytelling are more than worth it. Thank you to the developers for making this game, and I look forward to playing the sequel.

    I loved this game. Searching through the phone to find puzzle answers while learning about the main character’s life was a great way to experience this story.

    For those reading reviews before buying, this game can be difficult to play if you’re not as thorough about details. It is considered a mystery rightfully so. However some complain it’s too easy. As an avid lover of mysteries, there were some roadblocks I had a difficult time getting started on, and other times it was a bit straight forward. Keep an eye on the details. ;) As for the message of the game, it’s an amazing one. It’s a game I find not just relatable but too relatable. I know too many people in my same demographic experiencing exactly what the overall lore of the game is about. It’s a really heartfelt game easier described as a short story with mysterious elements. My girlfriend told me about it and when we played it together she told me it was a little short. That said, I spent at minimum an hour on it, actively that is, and I loved every minute of it. Despite relatability its an amazing game overall that I was actually drawn to over and over. I played it at work when I was supposed to be busy, even because it has such a unique charm. A similar game series I’ve been drawn to for years is Life Is Strange, a ‘mystery-based’ CYOA. It strikes me as an inspiration even. While I would actually pay more for *this* game I do seriously hope there’s an independent source of revenue for the team that worked on it as I’d like to see it free to play. Having grown up in a poor family, and even another family that didn’t let me have privacy or spend any of my money on anything I wanted to, I didn’t get to buy mobile games. I feel like this could have a much larger audience and reach more youth if it were free. But ADs would kill the immersion and I wouldn’t want to harm the devs. This is an amazing ride. I crave every minute of it. Bought it because my girlfriend said it was good, and it was so good that now her girlfriend won’t stop pestering her about how good it was lol ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 💙💖🤍💖💙

    Please add trigger warnings for sexual assault as well!! But whew- FASTASTIC story. I had no idea what to expect but didn’t count on a powerful and MOVING tale! I feel incredibly grateful for every bit of that! Wish there was a way to write a final email to the main character but it’s almost more moving without that ability. Wow.

    This game helped me related to my brother. Luckily growing up my parents were the exact opposite of this characters parents. I couldn’t imagine having parent’s who didn’t love you for EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE! It’s an eye opening game! It really brings light to the hardships the LGBTQ community faces in their everyday life and while growing into adulthood. I really felt a strong connection to Samira, the devs did an amazing job with this one! ❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈🌈❤️🏳️‍🌈

    This game means a lot to me, I loved the story. It doesn't take to long to play and that's ok and I love it for that. Some sections are sorta hard to understand how to progress but you should get it without a guide or anything. I really recommended this game especially to lgbtqia+ youth.
