The game shows that it is very good, good graphics, a very interesting theme, and the perfect music.

Unfortunately I couldn't fully understand the dialogues because I don't speak English, but I still liked it a lot, congratulations!

That was an amazing experience. It was really unsettling at parts and it felt so polished. I am really quite surprised you were able to finish that in a week.

Great job!

such a rich story. Can't imagine you can make such a rich content within 7 days. I tried 3 endings - SUNNY always and forever, A new beginning, Going in circles. I really like love story so I try a few times to make it. But seems that the change of attitude of the ex-girlfriend is also a part of their plan in order to test their usage of SUNNY? It is really a good game and fit the jam theme.

Developer

Thank you so much for the kind feedback! I genuinely appreciate you trying out different endings as I get that going through it multiple times can get repetitive, so I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 

I won't say here what the ex-girlfriend has to do with it in order to not give it away but you can check out the video for the real ending as well if you like ^^  

Submitted

OMG, such a good story ! I did see the real ending coming ah ah :) Great game design ! 5 stars everywhere ah ah. You deserve more ratings !

Developer

Ahh you're too clever xd Thanks so much for the feedback, you're too kind!!

UI is nice. Smooth changes to UI and coming back to game was refreshing for me tbh. I see some decent coding about saving etc. I can see theamount of work put into this game. It was nice refreshing and lovely. I'd love to come back try the endings.

I got the SUNNY forever ending! This is an interesting story, and the art style complements it so well. 

Developer

Thanks so much! Always interesting to see the different endings people are getting ^^

Submitted

This is so cool .I am definitely gonna have to come back to get all of the endings. I got the new beginnings ending. This is underrated.

Great job.

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

This is a very cool game and the fact that you made it over a week is insane. The story is really interesting and I felt like I had a lot of freedom to do what I wanted (which is a bit ironic given the story). I didn't get a chance to check out all of the endings but I can see real potential with this one. Honestly, I think if you made sure to fix any bugs left in the game you could probably sell this as it is. Very well done.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your kind words! 

Yess we made sure to try and make the choices matter and affect the outcome. So writing it took a lot longer than we initially expected! Glad you enjoyed it :) 

Submitted

This is really awesome! Trying to find all ending is good but takes a while so I have to repeat it hahahaa. It is weird though that if I scroll up, a huge chunk of progress resets making it longer. I'm not sure if this is the behavior of RenPy but still awesome game!

Developer

Thanks  so much for your feedback! 

Yep, I definitely get that repeating the story can get tedious so I've actually just uploaded a video onto the page with chapters of the different endings including the true ending if you are curious! 

The scroll behaviour is the default in Ren'Py - was going to have a look at it but ran out of time for the jam! I'll probably have a look at it after. Sorry about that!
