I will! It was already on my to-play list since it looked interesting xD

Haha, I see you got some inspiration from a certain famous visual novel. I don't want to spoil anything, but it was a pleasant surprise to suddenly see more depth than the game lets on. I'm not sure if I experienced everything, but very nice work!

It actually reminded me of another, lesser-known visual novel that I bet you'd enjoy and could get some inspiration from, dev (assuming you don't know it already). It's called "Save the Date" by Paper Dino. Much like yours, there's more going on under the surface than it initially lets on, and the more you push, the more it will surprise you.

One final word of advice: Ren'Py supports exporting to HTML5 for running your visual novel as a browser game instead of a download, which will make people much more likely to play it in a game jam. Something you may wish to consider next time.

But I enjoyed it! Keep it up!!

Thank you so much for playing and the feedback!

Whoops, I forgot to put in the description how many endings there were - I've fixed it now! You'll know you're done when the game just has a black screen and returns you to the main menu :)

Save the Date looks super fun! Thanks for letting me know about it! I'll be playing as soon as voting for this jam ends.

Making it a browser game is definitely a good idea; I'll have to look into how to implement the very last part of the game though.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Ah, good, then I did see everything :)

If you do try Save the Date and feel like talking to someone about it, feel free to lemme know. Just make sure you try all the endings, more than once (much like DDLC, you'll start off wondering why the heck you're playing it, but you gotta stick with it). I think it took me about an hour and a half to fully clear it, but it honestly changed how I view stories and fiction. No small feat for something that was written in 3 days by one person.

Anyway! Good luck with the jam, and your next visual novel!
