This was a great otome game with a lot of variety. I really liked learning about Devlin and going through his route, but his ending was anticlimactic. Same with Alden's. His route pleasantly surprised me, but him confessing his love for MC felt a bit much than if he would have just said that he liked her, but maybe that's just me.
Additionally, the ending felt a bit anticlimactic and odd with the drinking reference and the ending title of that route. I think both endings seemed to have ended too abruptly after the mutual confession, whereas with Seth's good ending, there was a little nice get-together with him, MC, and Cherri, making the ending feel more like a natural ending and a satisfying one, too. Seth was best boy! Although, Seth's kissing CG was cropped and small, and I was also hoping to have seen other CGs of the main character kissing the other two love interests. Oh, well!
Although, the first ending I got, which was Seth's bad ending in ending 7, I thought there was going to be a mini epilogue after MC's fallout with Seth, but there wasn't. So, when that route ended right after that argument, the conclusion came to me by surprise because I was expecting something else to tie up the final threads of the story. I felt like that ending and some other routes ended at the climax, and a falling action or resolution was skipped.
Otherwise, I surprisingly enjoyed everybody's routes. I was confused and disappointed when I didn't see Iris take Seth out for lunch or didn't see Devlin show Iris more of his poems. I felt like those were missing scenes, unless I just so happened to have missed those scenes.
I also think the story could have been more immersive if Iris had her own character sprite, even as a side portrait beside the textbox, since the protagonist didn't really feel like a self-insert. I also wasn't a fan of her constantly gushing and obsessing over Alden, but I'm glad she still had a personality outside of Alden and that her personality was shown in other ways with her friends and love interests.
Regardless, I liked the music, the character designs, their various facial expressions, and the U.I. and menus and everything. Good job!
