Puppygirl who is a high-energy working breed. Puppygirl who needs more space than a typical family home. Puppygirl who is prone to destructive behaviors when she’s understimulated. Puppygirl who is bred to run around and herd sheepgirls. Puppygirl who barks too much.
I could never be a puppygirl because my adhd ass would get so bored

Sounds like Onion Games nailed it. Back before Love De Lic fractured, Moon was one of the first RPGs to really look inwards at what a 'hero' was, and became a major inspiration for Undertale.
Now Undertale has ended up being an inspiration for the people that made Moon. Can't wait to play this.

As with all of Hijong Park's other games, there's a free version too, which is the exact same game if you don't have the money to spare.
But this is by far their most ambitious and polished game, and it has full VR support!

The helicopter physics themselves are honestly probably the best I've seen outside of the first party helicopters in DCS? It's not to that level of realism, nor is it trying to be, but it captures a lot of the nuance of helicopter flight in a way almost no games do.
