Sifting Thyme Visual Novel

Update: The review below still applies, but I’ve noticed there is a lack of skip button, which makes the early chapters a little long to replay. I hope one gets implemented somehow, but either way it’s still a great game! I love this game. Seriously, thank you devs for something so cute and well-written. To start off, the story is adorable - it’s a slice of life with actual character growth throughout the course of 13 chapters. The main character is fantastic. She actually seemed competent and had her own goals/friends. The LIs are varied and each feel like actual people outside of the protagonist (and had convincing dynamics with each other). Geoffrey was my least favorite, and I still wanted him to be happy. They all make you care about them regardless of their route. Each one has something to grow from, and it was super satisfying to see them find their ground. Finally, it’s all for a low, one time price. I will be trying any game that these guys put out from now on, and I’ve already bought a pin set off their merch store. Fantastic game that I cannot recommend enough (especially for the price).

So I dislike that it's ending because I'm so in love with the story and the characters I will probably buy any game they come out with because I loved this one so much it's all so beautifully written for people who are considering playing and if you are it’s so worth it ) the art it’s So detailed the guys' faces are just remarkable you can tell how much time and effort they put into this game they even have different facial expressions which I love 😂 and the story is written so beautifully I don’t wanna put it down it makes your heart flutter and warm it also makes me wanna go out and try foods that I have never had before if you love choice stories anime looking boys and food, they also have Instagram if you wanna follow them just to see more stuff about the game if your thinking about getting it maybe it will help you decide! Leo was my favorite I went in this having wanting to pick geff because he has pink hair 😅 but started in and reading four chapters having love for Jamie but then I had to do Leo because I knew there had to be a sweet spot when I was doing Jamie's route Leo is actually a loveable so please don't hesitate to love the lemon prince then Tyler the childhood best friend he is so precious and I know nothing about sports really but in one of the chapters I was so interested in what was going on in tylers game after something happened I was like oh no! But if you guys put out more merch for this is buy it !

I don’t normally bother writing reviews for games but I can’t help it for this one! The game contains clean and refreshing background/character art and educational little tidbits about cooking in general. To be honest, it’s the first game I’ve ever played that seemed to emphasize teaching the players while roping them into copious amounts of fluff from the romance options. A good thing I noticed about this game is that unlike other romance visual novels the player is allowed to follow through two romance options at once due to having two save slots available. The four romance options are all sweet and easy to fall in love with. Another amazing thing about this game is that the developers themselves are quite fun to interact with on social media. Each question I’ve asked has been answered as fast as possible and I’ve even exchanged some memes with Nochi Studios 👀
