Damn a visual novel in 2 days! Awesome game too! Check ours too!
I'm VERY intrigued with this concept!! Had to switch to a different browser to be able to play it, but I'm quite happy that I managed to do it! Would love to see this expanded further upon.
Wow! Love the UI, Art style, everthing. Well done!!
From the screeenshots it look nice, but how do I start the game?
The Confirm button on the character creation page seems to be unclickable.
Sorry, this seems like a bug. If the button doesn’t work then it’s impossible. You aren’t missing much.
Out of curiosity, what browser and OS are you using? I only briefly tested on Windows 10 with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.
Firefox, but I can give it a shot on Chrome as well. If it's a bug it could maybe work.
Same in Chrome. Every button is clickable except the Confirm one.
I am using Windows 11, so if it works in Windows 10 on Firefox, then I totally don't know what could be wrong.
Thanks for giving it a shot! I might try to track it down sometime.
I wonder if it’s a weird monitor/resolution interaction as well. I hard-coded the game to an 800x600 resolution. Seeing the 3D background in your screenshot isn’t a good sign and I’m suspicious of the fact that the non-functional button is near the bottom of the original scene.
Update, I tried it on my old PC anf it works.
The amount of stuf in the game is impresive. The dialog shows the main character in realistic way. Especialy the pauses when she don't want to speek says so much about what is she feeling.
Good job.
Nice twist on the whole visual novel thing, playing as the people the player interacts with usually.
