The prospect of actually playing through all the bad ends and their attendant stat raising was incredibly unappealing, so I mostly looked them up on youtube and skipped through anything too boring or depressing.

I guess I'm glad I did it for completeness sake? Some of it was quite creepy D:

And now, the secret route and audio dramas! I didn't know this game even HAD audio dramas, how exciting!

Another attempt at Jisoo, this time more to see the story through to the end than because I was expecting to actually enjoy it.

And in that context it was...mostly ok? I think they were trying to say something clever about dubcon and not really succeeding, but he did make her happy overall and there were some cute moments.

Time for Jisoo, the roguish black cat with a heart of what may or may not be gold.

I am taking a break from the game here because this path was setting off my "this will trigger you" alarm, so I looked up a summary, and it turns out the plot hits multiple other unrelated triggers/squicks. Since this is the last guy before the secret ending (which will probably also be triggery) I'm just going to put Dandelion aside for now and see if I feel like picking it up again later.

Other than that Jisoo was actually starting to charm me! But emotional reactions are messy and I gotta look after my brain.

Content notes: relationship violence, consent issues, disability, little sister issues, also the same abusive parent stuff as always

Time for Jihae, the serious and angsty bunny knight.

I LOVED HIM. HE'S LIKE SAITO FROM HAKUOKI AS A BUNNYBOY.

I really liked the way this worked for me having already played Jieun's path, since they have connected backstory. But it would have been interesting seeing things the other way around too.

Content notes: consent issues, suicide

Time for Jiyeon, the cute, affectionate little kitten! Wait, sorry, the adult man pretending to be a cute, affectionate little kitten.

Still deciding how I feel about this one, but it was certainly something.

Content notes: rape threats, and...idk? I just have this weird feeling about some stuff?

Time for the grumpy tsundere rabbit who likes romance novels!

Overall I really liked this. They were trying to wallow in tsundere tropes and critique them at the same time, and it didn't always 100% work, but was still really fun.

Content notes: Abusive parents, unfortunate (but thankfully brief) portrayals of disability and crossdressing

Dandelion: Wishes Brought to You is a dating sim about a depressed, lonely young woman who encounters five mysterious animals and gets to know them as pets...only for them to become human!

This is the first game made by Cheritz (Nameless, Mystic Messenger) and is a bit rough around the edges but still overall very enjoyable. The protagonist is a realistically drawn college student with anxiety caused by an abusive mother, and her arc of self discovery and healing is really well done. There's a lot of stats raising, which is sometimes cleverly integrated with the story and sometimes irritating. The love interests are varied and interesting as characters, and the romances vary from "good" to "I respect what they were going for but it didn't quite work for me". It's not full on furry but it probably helps if you think catboys and rabbitboys are cute ;)

So I do want to finish the Code Realize DLC, but keep putting it off. And thus instead...

From Cheritz, makers of Nameless (aka "The dating sim where a girl's dolls become cute boys") comes Dandelion (aka "The dating sim where a girl's pets become cute boys"). I have been reassured that this definitely isn't about bestiality.

And indeed, instead of "human dates non-sentient animals" it feels more like "loving female dom 'owns' cute furry boys". Which I am...ok with. In fact I'm really enjoying it so far asides from some issues with the stats raising.
