241 | Kindred Spirits on the Roof thoughts
Saturday, 5 November 2022 09:15 pmMe realizing it’s been nearly a year since the last time I posted… whoops.
Anyways! This week, I’ve been playing Kindred Spirits on the Roof, and today I finished it! I was told this was a visual novel, but the choices are more cosmetic than anything—like, apparently you can unlock more extra content with them, but that’s about it? There’s only one story and one route that you follow to a single end, so it felt more like a kinetic novel to me in the end.
I actually played the first six minutes of it in August 2021, according to Steam, before setting it down and wandering away. Either I wasn’t in the right mood, or the beginning was really that much weaker than the rest—I can’t say, as I didn’t go back to redo those six minutes, lol. Still, while I have criticisms, overall I enjoyed it.
I think I’m going to break down my thoughts by just talking about each of the canon couples, in more or less the order each relationship was introduced in.
( more beneath the cut, including spoilers )
