Steam reviews

What players say

Most players love Micah and the charming romance, though many find the story short and the romance rushed.

Most players recommend the game, mainly for its lovable love interest Micah, his voice acting and banter, and the warm, funny tone. Many players praise the art style, the fully voiced cast and the way choices shape the ending, and some say the emotional later days, especially the DLC, moved them to tears. Some reviewers find the story thin, the playthrough very short and the romance rushed within a few days, and a few criticise the humour as dated. Recent reviews are more divided on length, with some wanting more content. A few players say they cannot support the developer because of a controversy involving harassment of another author, and a few mention technical bugs and translation problems.

Praised

    Many players
  • Emotional story

    Some players

Criticised

  • Rushed romance

    Reviewers find the relationship moves too fast for a story of about a week, and it feels unearned.

    Many players
  • Short with few choices

    Players say the game is short and offers few dialogue options, so they would like more content and freedom.

    Many players
  • Dated, cringe humour

    Reviewers find the chaotic Discord-style jokes and writing cheesy or dated, and it does not land for them.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a short, charming romance with a lovable, funny love interest and do not mind a fast relationship.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep stories, many dialogue choices or a slow-building romance should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly praise the cute romance and short length, while players with more hours tend to highlight the emotional later days and the DLC.
