Delightfully wholesome and heartwarming! 💗
This was extremely cute and exactly the kind of story I wish was easier to find in media. I played the OG game and was really psyched to see a follow up!
Thank you so much for giving First Skate a look, JQ! Happy to hear you also played A Late Night Convo and enjoyed that one as well. :) There will be more stories with Seo-jun and Iris in the future, so stay tuned~
This was so adorable!! The story, the art, the characters!! Seo-jun and Iris are really precious. The pacing is really good, I love how naturally the date progressed. It all felt really cozy and I could honestly relate a lot to Seo-jun's struggles as well as his views on certain things (like how you shouldn't let a bad experience stop you from experiencing something)!
I hope we get more stories with Seo-jun and Iris cause their dynamic is just the best: endearing, kind and sweet ♥️
As always, you're too sweet, Pri! ;~; So glad you enjoyed the game and trust and believe, there will be more stories with this adorable couple soon!
insanely hot cast loving the back arch in that one cg where they fall over. Great game, such sweet characters! Put me in a very winter mood. It was super cozy and great pair with a hot coco.
