Aisha is my spirit animal!

Really loved the characters, they were really fleshed out. Loved how they were written. Character designs were really distinct and looked great. The presentation was amazing. Not sure how you did the live2d-style effect but wow did you bring those sprites alive! Oh and animations in general, this must have taken ages!

You got not one but two composers! Melancholy Marionett and Manit definitely did a great job here. 

I was really excited to hear both samgrace and Meg TheLovableDork again who I loved in last year's Tunnel Vision. The VA has been top-notch in general, everybody did great!

Than you for making this game!

Very slick character art and animation, charming and spritely music, and polished and engaging gameplay--excellent work to the team! ✨

Hi, I'm also ALSO commenting here. Hello again.

Other than what I've said before about everything, I think the ending still falls a little flat-- the lack of movement/camera work towards the end where it's just all the sprites on the screen staring back at you felt a lot more plain compared to the start of the game. And it was a bit strange considering how the narration of what was happening was very action packed. Most likely a "ran out of time" issue, I'm guessing? Though sometimes with these jam-crunches, once you plan out the story, you don't have to work linearly through it. (Perhaps working on the ending first?)

But! I love how everything wrapped up and ended on a happy-ish note. I also liked the tease for a possible?? Sequel?? Or something?? It really gets the gears turning.

Oh and the jumpscares were so unexpected. Wow, how dare you!! /lh

Anyway, yeah!! Great game! Loved it :>

The real horror is animating all this animations lol, I'm really impressed by it. I had fun playing it and the references were fun. I need to point that out.

Good true horror tale about streaming and being an online personality. I find the best horror is rooted in reality. In some ways it felt like a Black Mirror episode. Good job <3

Really great entry! The UI was fun, and the management aspects were fun - if anything, I wish that part of the game had been explored a little bit more! A nice, tight story with good characters and interesting dynamics. I also had fun reading all the fake game titles, though I wish their genres were a little more indicated in the UI. Music was great throughout, and I really loved all the sprite movement and animation, especially in the first half of the game. Effects and animation throughout felt really polished too!

Great job, and congrats!

After playing this I can't figure out if I should become a VTuber agency manager, or stay faaaaaaaaar away from the VTubing industry XD This was a great story! The polish was amazing and I was super impressed by how fleshed out all the characters were. The music always felt really appropriate and really helped set the mood, and the voice acting was awesome! Great job!

I'm a big fan of vtubers and I honestly wonder this every day 😂

Thank you so much for playing, I'm glad it was enjoyable!

Overall great game! Love the UI, got some good writing as well and an interesting story to tell. The music was also great! Only negative feedback I have to give is the random changes in art style can sometimes be quite jarring, and the lack of voice acting throughout most of the game makes it feel quite out of place when it is present. Still, great game that I greatly enjoyed playing!

Played the Android  build . The UI, moving sprites and the effects was really cool. Story was interesting and wasn't as scary as I expected ( good for me because I'm a scaredy cat). Also was it just my imagination or there was something  meta  there?

I really like the main menu for this game, its very pretty. This game was a nice change from the usual vns ive been playing, not being purely a story but also having some extra gameplay, impressed you got it all done in the time available! Art is very pretty and ui is very well designed! I love that so much of it is animated and not static. Great work, loved it!

This game is really visually impressive! Love all those animations. Especially that "chair spin" sprite at the beginning. Writing was really great as well! Great humor and it got pretty tense towards the end.

We enjoyed this game a lot! The animations and UI are stand-out. Aisha is so fun!
