Lovable retro-styled game

So I will part this review in different topics and I try not to spoil the plot.

Aesthetic:
I really liked that style of this game. The music fitted the atmosphere and the style of the game. The drawings highlighted the retro aesthetic.

Story:
The story is well told in the beginning. But the fact that the girl hates people and then suddenly befriend this new guy who just moved in is not really realistic. But this does not ruin the atmosphere or the story. But in the end the story seemed to be told very fast.

Characters:
Audrey:
She is described as hating people. But I guess it would be more settling to say that she suffers from social anxiety. When someone would hate people, they would not try to speak to others and they would refuse to talk to anyone. They would even have no friends and they would be rude because they do not care what others might think of them. But Audrey is not like this at all. She has friends, but she do not want to meet up with them. She also cares what Ju thinks and think about him in general. But dispite my thoughts on her really hating people or more having social anxiety, her character is well developed.
Ju:
Ju is the new guy in town. I have not much to tell about him. But I don´t know why in his description is mentioned that he likes dogs when this information is totally unecessary (or I simply did not get to a point where this information is mentioned). It would be more settling to say that he finds that Charles Dickens is overrated.

Others (People in town):
I like that fact that when a new day starts, the people have always something else to say. That makes the enviroment seem alive.

Environment:
I liked the style of the environment. Not much to say here.


Conclusion:
It´s a cute short game with replayable potential, because of the different endings. The story is well told and the characters are symphatic. My critiqe here are just my point of view on those things. But still I like this game a lot and I will replay it soon to get the third ending ( Just had ending 1 and 2).

Wanted to make sure this got some feedback.. Good job hilighting the layered character. However, would like to see a little more description in the review. If it's retro, to be sure there's a game to compare the style with. Still, some of the areas you did bring home and compel interest with such as the concept of characters presumably NPCs have something new to say each day.. overall decent review. The length is ideal. If you could add only a little more detail to bring all the points to life, I think it'd sell me more.
