  • Very fun and engaging plot! Really well written characters!
  • The gameplay mechanics are really interesting! Very unique and original.
  • Amazing music!  Really fitting!

Really impressing that no engines were used in making the game, great job! The theme is portrayed perfectly, and the listening mechanic gave it a bit of gameplay different to what we usually get from a visual novel. Congratulations!

A wonderful game! I love that it's framed as a YouTube - sorry, BooTube -   series, and even includes a live chat. The characters are really well written, and I enjoyed  trying out the different paths through the episodes. Actually tuning a device to the ghosts' wishes  is a fun idea, too. 

The illustrations are all very beautiful, and the music sets the mood nicely.   Great work overall!

Wow! Loved the listening mechanic, it was very fun! And framing it as episodes of a web show, that was really cool!

The ending of the story confused me a bit, but for the rest an amazing game.
