| Review | My Heart Grows Fonder was a rare miss from Zetsubou. The game starts off pretty well. The characters are at least interesting. It went off in a direction I wasn’t expecting with the plot but did so in a way I was willing to go with and was enjoying. By the end though very little was resolved in the ending I got. I won’t spoil anything but outside of who I ended up with there was not much if anything about the main plot line of the game which lead to the girls staying with you in the first place. I will also say that there wasn’t much in the way of choices. There was a around a half dozen overall in my play through. The game felt a little short as it felt like it ended a little abruptly. The art was decent but was not described well by the game. For instance when it was described that there were people sitting or sleeping on the couch it was always empty. The music was decent as well but could be a bit repetitive. I played the game on Linux. It never crashed. I did notice one spelling issue as “Maia” was spelled “”Maya” one time. You can manually save any time you want. Game Engine: Ren’Py 7.5.3.22090809 Disk Space Used: 364 MB Game Version Played: 1.2 GPU Usage: 0-18 % VRAM Usage: 546-675 MB CPU Usage: 2-5 % System RAM Usage: 3.1-4.7 GB This marks the seventh game I’ve played by Zetsubou and the first one I would say didn’t satisfy me. That still makes for a very good track record for a developer. I wouldn’t even call it a bad game as up until the end it was fairly decent. It just doesn’t do a good job wrapping up the story and could do with some more ways to branch the story. I finished the first play through in three hours and twelve minutes and paid $13.87 CAD for it. Not the worst value in the world but could do with being a few dollars cheaper.
