Pairing: f/f/f
Description: Lots of trauma bonding
This is a short game in which the MC has been literally beaten bloody by her mother, and then has to deal with it. It's very short, and has two options per run, resulting in about 6 endings. While the description of the game makes it sound like there are pathways of failure, there are none. The very few choices all lead to the same general place tonally.
The game description also suggests that there is supernatural stuff going on, but while the characters consist of two necromancers and a vampire, this is almost completely beside the point. The story wouldn't change if everyone was just a normal human being, just some flavor text would go away. Reverie, the MC, tries to get treatment after being beaten up at a hospital, but is frustrated with the transphobic asshole treating her and calls her partner, and later on meets up with her other partner, in different ways depending on the path. All three of the thruple have their own little issues, but the story largely centers around Reverie struggling with her terrible situation, and the need to be helped and loved while fearing and hating that need. She does have two people who care for her though, so in the end even though things are not exactly all right, the day ends on an optimistic note.
