Consider my mind officially blown :DHow you managed to put together such a heartwrenching game of this length as a solo dev for free (I presume this wasn't funded cos I couldn't find anything online about it) I don't know! It's clear a lot of love and work went into the project and it shows.
My biggest criticism is the art really. I alsmot didn't play at all cos I don't like the look of the sprites. I'm so glad I decided to give it a chance just for the story though cos it's the best VN I've read in ages!! All the big otome commercial releases have been pretty dull recently so it's nice to find something completely different. The writing is so much more engaging than the usual otome with the same boring descriptions of stuff in every game. Honestly if the art was nicer this would probably be my favorite VN of all time!
If anyone is reading this make sure you get the??? Route unlocked and get all the endings cos its just O.O I knew there was something going on but I guessed completely wrong what it was.
Spoiler
I already got tricked a few times when I thought the game was over and it wasn't cos there was that surprise bit at the end as well :P That dude is hella creepy but I love iiiiiit!!! Can't wait to see more about that mysterious character. That??? Route though is just awesome :D It's like a whole other standalone game! I thought it was gonna just be like a bonus little thing or something but it was like the length of all the other routes combined. Reminded me of new game + in rpgs!! I kinda wanted 13 and mc to live happily ever after cos they were my favorite pair so I will pretend the ending where they leave together is the true one T_T but I still loved the real true ending!!
Keep up the good work :D
