This is such a lovely game that I had to make an account just to say so. The artwork is gorgeous. The prose was a little purple for my taste at the very start of the game, but it quickly finds a balance as the game goes on.
I knew it was going to be short, so I wasn't expecting the story to be that good. There were genuinely touching moments. I hated Mikhail at first, but I came to appreciate him as the story went on. I can't really say why without spoilers, but he does grow as a character.
