A fantastic game with a beautiful art style, engaging plot, charming characters and an amazing soundtrack to boot (or... to shoes?) I loved slowly getting to know all the members of the town, having Elise interact with the three main girls in adorable ways, planning my time and managing my resources in satisfying ways, and slowly learning more about the mystery of the witch. I don't have much horror rpg genre experience, since I'm usually not a big fan of horror, but this was a lot of fun to play through regardless!

My only real criticisms are that I wish cutscenes I've already watched could be skipped entirely instead of just fast-forwarded (in some cases, fast forwarding isn't even allowed), since it makes the process of replaying for different endings more tedious. This as well as the ability to rewind to earlier parts of the day / week. I got around the need for this by keeping a bunch of manual saves, but it would be a nice QoL feature to have rewinding be built-in.

Ultimately though, the game has enough going for it that I don't mind these minor annoyances. I'm still working my way through the other endings, since I've only gotten one so far, but for just 20 bucks this game is very much worth it! Looking forward to checking out Pocket Mirror afterwards!
