This game kept me playing for months, despite on & off seasonal depression. The characters felt genuine & I wanted to get to know each of them, encouraging me to look up tips for drinks. Mixing drinks feels extremely satisfying, & the reward of character's responses encourages you to play again, & again.

Good stuff:
Characters have depth
Characters all have their charming qualities, even Donovan.
Main character speaks just enough to feel like a vessel to observe through while still maintaining her own character

Great bits:
Main character isn't perfect
Breaking of 4th wall is impactful, rather than a gimmick
Art is beautiful to look at, animation is delightful
Exploration of world through showing, not telling (hard to do!!)

Amazing bits:
Dorothy

Not so great bits:
I have to wait for their next game
Reminds me of the terror of our capitalistic state
