I liked the art style. It was an interesting approach, but it wasn't really a game. It was still a great entry though!
Visuals were nice. Also if you focus on a story little bit more and make it an interactable game like Heavy Rain. I can imagine buying game like this in Steam and playing it. Horror part was missing. It was rather sad than scary. But nice game overall
Interesting approach and great presentation, great job!
What a creative take! Very cool visuals to match the story. Really like how this all came together.
I liked the visuals and such a creative approach to writing novels.
I really love the art, the sound effects and animation!
You know, I found this really, really fun. The AI-written text and visual novel is a great idea on its own, but there's something about the fact that it's a *space* story, where the subject matter of the genre itself often involves various forms of AI, that makes this so entertaining. Like, "Hal, tell me a story." You added a nice visual that itself expanded the narrative and tied some parts together when the AI took a little bit of a sharp turn. Nice job!
Interesting idea, I really like the art and it fits the theme well. The AI story creates a unique feeling to the game, although it has the expected limitations of an AI developed script.
Well written story with cute art :)
Interesting and original idea for a game concept.
I like the visuals and the sound design. I really got a sense of place.
Although it is amusing (indeed, fascinating) to see what kinds of stories an AI comes up with, I still felt that more of a "human touch" was needed to tie the plot together. I wasn't sure what the connection was between the first and the second part of the story.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm not very familar with the the subject of the second half so I sorta focused mostly on the first half - hopefully if I try this again in future, I can connect things better!
I know that in my case at least, a disproportionate part of the work was done in a mad scramble in the last 10 days. So I can imagine that losing several days during that final period really made finishing a lot harder. Still, an intriguing and original project.
