Just finished this, and it was fantastic. The thing with the "affect__ion" meter is brilliant, as was everything else using that same mechanic. The story was also really good and used that mechanic very well. Want to avoid spoilers, so that's all I'll say, but delightful.
Loved it :-) I don't want to spoil things but it's a short, quietly intense game. If you encounter text that's hard/impossible to read, just move on - it'll become clear later. I played it over a few shortish sessions to savour it for a longer time.
This looks neat, but I'm a bit concerned about readability of the text. In one of the screenshots, there is very dark pink text on semi transparent background, and that text is almost unreadable for me. Are there options to adjust text colour/background/contrast?
Hi there! I actually got some feedback about this a while back, but only with this comment did I notice that I never updated the screenshot example.
A shadow was added to all the colour text to help with this readability. If you check that same screenshot I have updated it to what the game looks like now, it's hopefully clearer!
I thought this was really clever and a fun subversion of dating sim visual novels, but also somehow manages to be commentary on queer people trying to survive within heteronormativity?? Love it, love to see it.

Thank you so much! The same screenshot is now perfectly readable even for my messed up eyes. Look forward to playing the game when I get the chance <3

very pleased to see the full release!! the affect__ion meter is really neat
Thank you! That meter gimmick was the initial seed of an idea that everything else spun out of.
