I finished getting all the achievements in @npckc@misskey.io 's game Marron's Day, an adventure/rpg for original Gameboy and modern operating systems.

It's about a cute bunny who is disappointed that their town's festival is cancelled because no one signed up for stalls, so you run around town convincing everyone to sign up to save the festival.

The game plays sort of like a 1990s JRPG, but without combat, and everything takes place in one town. There's a lot of story and puzzle-solving.

The game has a lot of incidental queerness. Many (all?) of the creatures in town are queer, but their queerness is never the focus of the story: it's just noted without anyone making a big deal about it. My favorite are a pair of AroAce best friends who live together.

After completing the main story, you unlock the "prologue," another story called Marron Helps a Friend, which was originally released as a separate game. The prologue deals more explicitly with themes of queerness.

The whole game took me about four hours to complete, including all achievements and the prologue. It was well worth the time.

The visual novel (ish) *You're Just Imagining It* by @npckc@misskey.io is now on Steam for free. It has been on Itch for awhile.

It's good but really really sad.
