Right off the bat, this game had my heart for the awesome character creator with a ton of options not only for appearance but also for pronouns. Also you can change both mid-game in your room!! The art and aesthetic of the whole thing is simply gorgeous (sell real versions of the tarot cards and enchanted items, please I beg of you). The gardening and crafting isn't anything groundbreaking, but I enjoyed the little daily routine and getting to see what our finished creations looked like. You can also pull some tarot cards and decorate your space with the things you gather and craft, which they didn't have to include but I absolutely love that they did. It really shows how much care and thought went into the game. The music is also great. Some tracks get played a little too often compared to others but they're still pleasant enough that they don't get annoying after a while. The special ones like Devin's song and the credits song are a real treat.
The characters are all really sweet with some relatable struggles. Nothing super life-changingly deep, but enough to give their personalities a little more texture. I know some people have beef with the MC being immature but let's be real: your average eighteen-year-old is just as much of a disaster. Some of you were clearly not hanging on by a thread through high school and it shows lmao.
Anyway! As for actual issues, it is lacking some visual novel QOL standards like multiple save files and a skip function, though there's a pretty simple workaround for the save file thing by just, well, locating your save file and copypasta-ing it. It does also look like the back half of the game didn't get as much of a check for typos as they are quite abundant around the middle/end. On the bright side, it's usually simple things like a missing letter so the writing still ends up being easily comprehensible.
All things considered, a really comfy and fun little game that I would love to live inside of.
