Blackberry Honey did defy my low expectations. Whilst it is another typical lesbian love story, the time spent on it is used to good effect. The main two characters are well developed although the rest of the cast can feel undercooked and one-dimensional. There's a couple of enjoyable subplots and there's plenty of flourishes when it comes to the presentation. It's a shame it feels more like a book than a game. A little interactivity could've helped break up the monotony but what's here is decent.
On the whole, though, Blackberry Honey is pretty harmless and inoffensive. It doesn’t ask anything of players and it probably won’t stick with you for very long after you finish it, but if you’re in the mood for reading something long and unobjectionable, you could probably do worse.
