Really neat game, with really cool art! The texture and color scheme was 10/10. Fun concept, with a nice loop flow when trying to get the other endings (having seven planned being super impressive!!). Interesting characters, and choices that weren't obvious where they would lead, which combined for a really satisfying experience. And as a minor bonus thing, but I also really loved the UI, with the directional speech bubbles - it worked really well! Great job, and exciting to see such a well-made/customized Light.VN game!
Thank you so much!
This was really fun! I loved the texture in the line art, and like someone else mentioned I liked the alternate title screen later too. I really enjoyed playing through the different endings, I couldn't figure out how they would end up based on my choices so it was a fun surprise! Won't be riding trains anytime soon, thanks!
Thanks so much for playing and your nice comments and feedback!
I got all the endings! It's a really fun game, I like the shorten intro when you replay it! makes it easier to go back and try for a different ending. Also, I won't be saying how you get it but, the alternate title screen is great. I love the art style it's creepy works very well to set the game's atmosphere.
Thanks so much!
This is a very clever use of a limited range of assets, which is to say a good design for a jam game. I like the one-letter Quick Menu that expands into a full menu title when hovered, it’s a good way to keep things compact while still giving enough information.
The narration at the beginning could totally use some extra space between the lines (and a different font to match the game). There seems to be some flickering. I don’t get what causes it (maybe you should use cg0 so the image gets faded in from zero alpha instead of 255->0->255?). The characters are lively and expressive. A nice little game with more ending variety than I thought from the setting. Good job!
What an experience! I've been following the game progress on the Light.vn Discord, so it was a treat to see the finished product. I loved the art and the UI. All of the characters were so likeable, the dialogue was so believable, and the framing of the story as hearsay was a nice touch. I got all five available endings—love that the title screen changes!
Great job!
i really like the UI and color palette of the game! the blonde girl is a really fun character. i got all 5 available endings (lilies ending is my favorite so far), it'll be cool to see the other two when they're done. nice work!!
Thanks so much!
