Nice writing and story telling! I am a really big fan of nice gore so you did a great job in impressing me!
I like this sort of plotline, and I don't mind relatively graphic/extreme content in VNs, but there's a couple spots where there's some pretty heavy stuff that isn't treated by the writing with the gravity it deserves, specifically the discovery of the murder and the discovery of the amputated bodyparts. I also kind of lost any sympathy for the protagonist when he started bullying/hitting on the teacher haha. The dialog itself is pretty serviceable though and I admit the cliffhanger had my anticipation up though -- some revision/expansion and this could be something good.
Completely agree with the constructive criticism. Definitely thinking about expansion but I'm hesitant as I believe that it won't get as much reach as it did through the jam. Any advice on how to create a returning audience?
Yeahh that's kind of hard. It's difficult justifying time spent on jam stuff post-jam unless turning it into a portfolio piece or something (also why my priority in jams is always to just get something 100% finished haha). Could be an idea to just use the learnings here to apply to the next jam/game.
The writing for this game is very good :D. I really enjoyed playing it and was sad because the story was cut short, I hope you will continue this. I find Emily super sus lol.
Bullseye. Glad you enjoyed the game.
These women need to get off social media xD Nice novel
Comedy is definitely my strong point.
Really nice game I thought the story at the beginning was a little lack luster but once it got to the climax it really made me go oh shit and I started finding myself more and more invested as the story continued and on top of that the visuals and audio really tied it all together very nice!
overall it was a really fun experience and id love to see where the story leads :D
Yeah, I was actually thinking of making the boring beginning part even longer so that the climax had more effect on the reader but was restrained by the date. Retaining interest is quite difficult, something I'm still improving on but I'm glad that you felt an increase in investment as the story went on.
