i will always and forever play every game these developers make oh my GOD. if you liked Before Your Eyes u better play this and if you don't know what that is u better play them both
This was a really intriguing and cute game. The ending had me in a few tears but overall great story! Honestly wished we were able to merge back with the baby so both of them could have been raised with love in a good family.
