I'm shocked by how good this VN looks. The 3D intro was impressive enough, but the subtle animation of the girl makes this short experience feel real.

Good stuff!  I thought I getting somewhere because she said I had beautiful eyes.  I guess I got the neutral ending since it just faded to black.  You showcased the themes in a meaningful and mature way.  Thanks for creating this.

It's always a fade to black at the end, so don't feel too sad. Thank you for playing, it means a lot to me that you liked it. I'm glad I didn't go overboard, and managed to explore the theme in a respectful way.  Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for playing!

im quite shocked at how effective the visual style is for a visual novel. I really underestimated how much 3d could fit even on a nokia phone

I really wanted to see if a 3d character could work in such low resolution, I tried to add subtle movement to the scene through animations to bring out the form of the girl, I'm glad it seems to have worked :)

Nooooo I think I got the bad ending T^T It reminds me of another game I played “a bag of milk inside a bag of milk” with a similar tone and style. The low resolution actually works in its favor by making you feel disconnected from the girl. Overall, super amazing entry with great writing!!

Thank you for playing! "A bag of milk inside a bag of milk" sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out myself later.  There's a neat trick to the ending of the game - it always ends with the same fade to black, but the conversation you had paints the ending in a different way, so the way you feel about the ending I think is important.
