Did you start early?
I didn't start my submission game early, but I reused some assets I made during the last week of March (music, graphic design assets, CSS).

I have never seen this approach to writing in the form of a game before. A very unique narrative style for a visual novel. The almost poetic prose is hard to follow at times, but the way it loops back to the start eventually creates a fairly evocative image of the situation.
The music track is excellent and fits the written rhythm and story tone exceptionally well.
I liked the aesthetic of the visual presentation. It too breaks the conventional visual novel format, but in a very fitting way.
Definitely a unique, somber experience. I don't think I understood the narrative in its entirety, but the stylistic decisions almost turn the game into a song where you don't need to understand the lyrics to feel the impact.
thank you so much!!!!!
This was super depressing, I kept going over choices I already made hoping for a happy ending, but I didn't find one.
Some of the writing is too metaphoric for me to get on the first read, so when I read over it again it felt like a punch to the gut to realize what was actually going on.
Also, I adored the aesthetic. The only problem with the game is I had to highlight the text to read it. From the screenshots it looks like the text should be more to the right than it appears. As is it overlaps with the art.
This game was amazing. I didn't expect anything form this jam to be send me on such an emotional roller-coaster.
thank you so much! in the very end of the series, these characters get a happy ending, but I haven't finished it yet. I believe deeply in happy endings for traumatized characters no matter how impossible they seem at points.
also, with the text not appearing correctly, could you try zooming out? it's designed for a 1920x1080 resolution, so if your laptop is particularly small or isn't set to that resolution, it won't appear properly - I should make a note of that.
I actually haven't been able to stop thinking about these characters. Randomly throughout the day if I'm washing clothes or playing games they haunt my mind, so I'm glad they'll get their happiness and I'm looking forward to reading it.
Zooming out worked, I feel silly for not thinking of that myself, thank you.
i'm glad it worked! i'll make a note of that in the notes section / about the game section for other people with the same problem. this is their main WIP game https://feyxuan.itch.io/feverfew if you want to see more about the characters. thank you again sm!!
