This is super polished for something made in a week! It's really beautiful and strangely relaxing :3 I like the somber yet soothing atmosphere created by the way the characters engage with each other, the art, and the music. I felt as though I'd been whisked away to another world for a bit while playing!
Thank you, I'm glad I could bring my world to life ＼(≧▽≦)／
I still remember seeing your message in the DevTalk discord server saying "I'm wondering if I should hop in this last week and make a small pixel art VN". I thought, this person is crazy LOL
I'm amazed at what you were able to achieve in a week: The art is gorgeous, the music is really good and you were able to do some world building as well, aside from writing the story. As some people have mentioned below, the ending does feel a bit rushed, but it doesn't detract much from the overall experience.
I'd be super keen to read more of this universe in a sequel/prequel.
Well done!
Thank you haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it <3
Expanding the universe wasn't something I had thought of before, but I might consider it now that you have mentioned it . . .
My sister chose this game because of the cover! Just some data, she likes pixelart. The art and music are good~
The setting was interesting, a bit confusing at first (didn't noticed there was a glossary... Maybe It was also my english comprehension) and when I started to understand it better, the game ended so abruptly D: Sad, I was waiting to know more haha Good job for a week!
Thank you for playing!
I tried to keep the story a little vague and confusing on purpose - thinking that it may take more than a single playthrough to understand.
But I hope you still managed to reap some enjoyment from it <3
The little hints of the larger world are really interesting, and the music and art blend together really nicely - well done!
Thank you <3
Liked the pixle art, but it was very difficult to follow the story.
I'm sorry to hear that! :c
I like the art. It carries the mood.
Thanks! <3
Woah! It's amazing that you did all of that in just one week :0 It's an evocative and symbolic story with a great mood. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! It was one hell of a week but I'm glad it paid off ;3
