I'm not sure why, but the game doesn't progress unless I minimize and then maximize the game again. It was enjoyable while I could last alt-tabbing!

Yeah unfortunately it seems like a few people have had that problem. If you don't mind, could you tell a bit about the hardware you're using? Tysm!

the whole game is really lovely~ the art is incredible, especially the backgrounds :] 

the only critique i have is that i think the tragedy might've been a bit more impactful if there was a little more time put into making the reader feel a bit more connected to the characters. i just think there needs to be more emphasis on why they love each other to make it hit a bit more when the sad things happen, and then to have that really sweet ending~

but overall, i still enjoyed the story, the music, the art, etc. the voice acting was also really well done <33

Very sweet little story! I didn't have trouble running the game but the sound was distorted for some reason. I would have liked a few dialogue choices, but the writing, art, and music (what I could hear of it) were very nice.

oh no the Mac build isn't happy, it says: "“River of Sorrow and Hope” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin." :O

Game keeps freezing and when i alt+tab it runs a little bit (writes 2-3 word) then freezes again. It might be something to look into and check if others have same problem aswell. also i tried alt+enter to switch to windowed mode in hopes it would help with freezing but that doesn't work aswell.

Aww, a short and sweet little game! I do like romantic tragedies...

Honestly, good job on the voice acting: I thought it was very well done.

Great entry!
