More Than Just Boyfriends in the Dungeons
I've played enough dating sims with just men or just women as love interests that I wasn't expecting anything different here. Boyfriend is in the name, why would I expect girlfriends? And certainly I'd never expect a fellow nonbin-
Oh hi~❤️
Yeah, this game has not one, not three, but two nonbinary love interests. Mind blown.
Say what you want about them fitting into various tropes about who can and cannot be nonbinary, and I do wish they would've pushed even more boundaries here, but you've got to admit. This is infinitely more than I'm used to getting in a dating sim. I am feasting on these crumbs.
Speaking of weird tropes. There's a cat. Yes this cat is adorable. Yes this cat is a weapon. No, you don't date this cat in the same way you date the humans. No make out sessions, only cafe cuddles and ear scritches. Like the good lord intended.
Speaking of weapons. I haven't talked any about the actual gameplay. It's pretty fun! I didn't get any screenshots of just fighting (because any combat that isn't turn based makes me panic and not think about hitting the button) but it really is a great addition to this game. Actually. Maybe addition is wrong. The way that the battles are done and how the dungeons represent emotional conflict, it really is an integral part of the game. The story supports the battles which turn around and support the game. I feel like that balance has to be hard to strike given how most dating sims tend to shy away from gameplay like this.
Apparently this is the only endgame screenshot I got. I went back and got Sunder and Valeria's endings after this, too. But of course this is the first ending I got and the only one I got a picture for. Wonderful dating sim. Highly recommend.

I’ve come to realize that my favorite Limp Bizkit album is Gold Cobra almost for the vibes alone, and it’s honestly pretty fucking sweet.

i like being alone. i like sprawling on the floor not crying. it means the most to me to see myself in context, post being social, existing in a realm where i kinda hate what i'm doing but also loving it, alone. is this pattern permanent? and not feeling like that really matters. i am here, alone and having a fine time. and tomorrow, well, obviously that's another day to worry but i welcome it but am here, in my own experience. i like having my own space to get up off the floor and write notes to myself. to remind myself that i have cared and do care about what happens, tomorrow, but for now...i am here. i'm thinking about the cashier at the bank who had their nametag listed with "i like music"-- same, girl, same.

GUESS WHO IS COMING TO DINNER?
Going to see the movie later today motivated me to clean up some sketches. Poor Mario…he is really trying to be a good brother here.
