I had a lot of fun with this one! The characters and their stories were very cute, and the narrative of lives intersecting across time was neat. I enjoyed the little puzzles/fetch quests - they were simple enough to be relaxing, and engaging enough to still be fun. Pulled this from my backlog on a whim and completed it in two evenings. My partner watched a level, and is tempted to play it himself! (He was very invested in Jaren's quest for love, haha) It was cozy, entertaining and made me smile - definitely recommend as a cozy rom-com game!
On the positive side, it's a beautiful game, really cute and wholesome. For some reason, it went through the step-by-step instructions of how to change a tire, and I wasn't even bored during it! The game has its charms, for sure!
However, it felt like extremely superficial and simplistic storytelling and it just didn't deliver on that aspect. It does not feel like I actually got to know these people and their romances, and sometimes the game framed things in ways that I simply didn't agree with - immediately getting angry at someone for having a business deal fall through, yelling at and then throwing a drink at this person felt like a weird and bad reaction to me, and that happened two in-game hours before these two characters had their romantic high point in game. That couple died for me with that fight, so that put a sour taste in my mouth for the end of the game. Another couple barely gets to interact, so they still feel like strangers to each other by the end.
The game survives its storytelling weakness by being pretty to look at, and NPCs occasionally have interesting things to say, but overall this game was disappointing to me. It seems like the best love stories might be lived by NPCs.
On the puzzles, some of them were fun, some of them felt empty to me, like it was just a "we need another puzzle / fetch quest in this chapter" deal where something was squeezed in for filler.
So, overall, I didn't really enjoy playing this, and I wasn't invested in these love stories while I played, which was the big problem. To me, I would consider this game being three romantic short films in one, with none of them feeling very romantic or believable to me.
