It's really hard to describe how much impact this story had on me. It's one of those rare cases where I would recommend a kinetic visual novel to practically anybody just for them to experience why I enjoy them so much, because words fail me when I try to explain it.

Finished Palworld. 139 hours from start to finish, of enjoyment with friends on a dedicated server. What a wonderful little game. Looking forward to further adventures with Sir Ghostcat, who was with me at the beginning and the end.

Sing a Bit of Harmony/Ai no Utagoe o Kikasete is an incredible movie everyone should watch. I knew nothing of it until watching and ended up moved. An easy 10/10, deserves to be more well-known.
