A grumpy/sunshine, size gap, and age gap story with a good ending.
I enjoyed the plant names and how we got to see the ingredients at the end.
This is nitpicky for a game; but because this trope is troubling in a way that I as someone comparable to the character in a few features don’t see mentioned in queer or other relevant spaces: cisgender men with breasts (“man boobs” or gynecomastia) are 50 times more common than being trans of any identity.
Many men AMAB that develop gynecomastia bind their chests.
The plot-moving injury in the story was shown lower than described. Using another word like “gut” or “torso” would work to remain vague about the reveal of what Komos is striving to do with magic.
You're absolutely right, when I was making the art for the game I was worried about showing "too much" of Komos's breasts. Mostly because in my experience, I don't want the parts that cause to dysphoria to be perceived at all 😅
What you said about gynecomastia is true as well. The few instances that I've seen it represented in fiction were negative. I definitely want to take that perspective into consideration moving forward
I love this. The art is pretty and the story is cute and I like the mechanics.
