Nice game! I like that life stories are told within this game, about how 2020 has impacted the people in each of their own ways. The audio and visuals are good, and the storyline is pretty solid. I feel like the stories are well done, maybe the game would be more packed if there was more characters added into the game. (Maybe positive ways people's lives have changed and negatively too)

Anyways, great job on the game!

Thanks for your feedback! yes, we wanted to come up with 4 different character stories, but due to the lack of time, we tried our best to convey these two characters story.. :)

Loved the concept and an really good game overall although I couldn't find any way to make the ending in the favour of the families and i couldn't see how the choices i made had a difference on the storyline. Awesome concept nonetheless!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Well, that's the thing about our game... it's isn't fictional where you get a happy ending but more realistic we did research and these are the actual struggles faced by the characters irl.. however, due to the lack of time as both of us have a full-time internship we could only dedicate 4-5 days that too only after 10 pm, the storyline couldn't be more interesting but this the least we could have tried! :) (just a 1st attempt to make a visual novel kinda game tbh!)

Great game! Everything from the graphics to the story to the audio was brilliantly executed. Especially the music raised the game to another level. Kudos to you!!

I really the concept for a visual novel game.. Played both the characters...the ending feels realistic tbh.. Good work!

I really liked the artwork on this one, and the concept - while a bit bleak - was well executed! I played through a couple times as both the fisherman and the chef and couldn't seem to find any way to get a happy/positive ending. Is this intentional or was I just not trying the right combinations? At any rate I think you did an excellent job at displaying some of the unfortunate social/class disparities and  how the pandemic affects them differently. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for the review and yes this game does not really have a happy ending. Wanted to show the ugly truth and was made in just 4-5 days so could try our best to come up with this.. Hope to update this game further.. :)

Developer
