End of the Line is wonderfully depressing experience that delivers on all fronts. From excellent sprites, to polished writing and an engaging narrative and dialogue, it's worthwhile from end to end. There are some characteristics that don't exactly click from the jump, but eventually all pieces fall into place. Definitely the strongest submission in Novembear 2024.
Lovely story made by lovely people. Grounded and beautiful. Excellent job, y'all 💖💖💖
On a String is simple and straightforward but it does well what it sets out to do. Aside from a strange inconsistency with punctuation marks, writing works really well; from pacing to dialogue, this project nails it. Visual elements also does a good job of characterising people and narrative, a real complete package. I wish it tackled bigger questions regarding its mechanics and could have done with a more active protagonist, but other than that, On a String is easily worth the time readers put into it.
