[The] flaws accentuate the humanity behind this game beautifully, but I get that not everyone will share that feeling. But if you are queer or a person of colour, or if you want to kniow what it's like to be either or both of those, then don't skip on Plum Road Tea Dream."

Was lucky enough to receive a curator key for this! Very emotional game, exploring grief, pain, identity, and the healing process. Really loved my time with it, and I especially loved how personal and conversational it felt. The ending was also really beautiful!
