I played 3 hours and I really love it. This is a very weird and singular game to me, I have never played something like that before.
You play as a cheeky teenage girl in a small village who learns to live on her own after her grand mother passed away. Your goal is to organise your days between working (to get some very needed money) and spending time with your friends to build deeper relationships.
You have limited time slots each day, meaning that you have to carefully choose how to manage your day, and there is a good balance to find because you really need the money earned by working and it appears clearly that you wont be able to max all relationships in one run. There are also other elements to manage like food, items to replenish your sanity or your health etc..
So basically it feels like Persona with harsh economy and some survival elements.
The thing is there is something dark hidden in this world, and although you spend your days enjoying the gorgeous visuals and splendid german tale aesthetic combined with 90s anime, the nights are themselves full of terrors. Every night you will be sent to a mysterious castle and will have to go through some nightmarish ordeals to unravel the mystery.
tbh this is really a hard game to describe, but this is already captivating and engaging as hell. Visually this is absolutely gorgeous, the musics are also perfect for what the game tries to achieve and everything is incredibly well made (the UI for instance reminds me of the quality of the ones found only in Atlus games).
Apparently the game is not that long (10-15h) but designed for multiple playthrough: you have different choices to make and they can change the game and endings (11 in total) drastically.
Damn, this is amazing: incredibly charming, beautiful to look at, unique AF and it bears a great sense of mistery.
Its 20 bucks, if you want some fresh air go for it.
