This game finally opened my eyes to what Twine IF is all about. Until now, I had mostly ignored anything not parser-based as it just didn't seem like my cup of tea or didn't feel as interactive as I would like. However, this game just stepped it up to a whole new level! It finds a way to make you thoroughly and wholeheartedly invested in the wellbeing of the community and its members. Indeed, as you get to know and befriend a few, you quickly get quite attached to them and yearn to learn more about their life stories, which are given out very naturally and charmingly whilst exploring different facets of identity and grief. YET, it's ALSO a friggin' cooking game, and it's a blast making up and planning out different meal combinations for each community supper and exploring all the small things to do. The game itself was somewhat easy and I only managed to finish the last side character's story line in the nick of time before the end of the game. It was just marvelous all throughout and made me stay up 'til almost 3am! Truly, the endearing way everything is presented makes you grow very fond of it all!
