I enjoyed reading through the VN. The art and dialogue are very charming, me likey. Bonus points for including real birds; truly revolutionary in the world of Touhou Fan Game Jam 12.
i did not expect that to hit way too close to home after that birding 😭😭😭😭<- Why does that emoji look like that im kayi msyelf
also hai saishoo
So good
I want hatate to ask about satori's pet shoebill next!!
Very cute vn
I did suggest a shoebill funnily enough! maybe you’ll see them another day :)
Good vibes all around. Some avoid Satori because she can read minds. Others... (lowers shades) avoid Satori because she can read anxieties. (shades drop to the floor awkwardly)
This was a really nice game. I've heard alot about how to deal with anxiety but this game delivered advice in a way i rarely see. I will probably play this game again if i'm feeling too anxious.
Satori Gives You Advice and Drinks Tea
At first it was a cute visual novel about birds, but then it was a heartfelt visual novel about anxiety. This is a double compliment by the way -- I think it was very cute and genuine and all came together really well. The art is lovely and it really feels like the author knows what it's like to work through not just anxiety but, even scarier, pet dinosaurs
Thank you so much for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
I know far too well what it's like to work through anxiety, considering it KICKED MY ASS this jam, haha.
(perfect alternate title for the game btw)
Really cool game!
The art looks good! Is this a bell of avici remix? I like it.
thine game, tis genuine
hardly-filtered feelings, it seems? a great and bold thing
i appreciate how smoothly the writing was able to transition between all parts of the conversation, getting the story across without ever feeling forced. with that, the single scene the game contains doesn't overstay its welcome and i did not get tired of hatate left and satori right throughout
some clever animals infos as well.............
if i had a critique it would be that i find satori to be a weeeeeee bit out of character here, of course there's only so much satori to go off of in the first place but her choice of vernacular and willingness to put away the eye stood out to me a bit. hatate though? no clue, i'm trusting you on this. never unlocked her
also cool art bonus points custom textbox blah blah blah
video game
Heart-warming. It hit quite close to home.
Seeing Hatate start resolving her pent-up problem made me happy.
Despite having a lot of typos, this was a nice little chat. Having anxiety about works you created not getting attention despite all the hard work you put into it is a real stressful thing. But it is needed to be reminded that what matters are those who DO experience your works.
y'know, the jam happened during a pretty.... troublesome? time of my life. I was struggling with self-identity issues, self-esteem issues, trying to prove myself to people I was not sure would care, to people who would care, to people that I wanted to care, all while fearing that I'll let down the people that matter to me. I did find someone I really love, someone I want to stay with for the rest of my life... and I was afraid I'll let him down too. honestly it, uh, affected both my sleep and also my ability to work on my jam game, which is why I asked for an extension, haha...
so to see a game where one of my favourite characters (hatate) goes through almost the same struggles, and is comforted by an interesting character who I've always wanted to see more content of (satori)... honestly, it made me almost tear up (with joy). it was short and I got through it in approx. 10-15 mins... but I went back, made a save right before the "i think that's everything" choice... and I read the talk they had, like, a few times afterwards. it made me really happy. genuinely.
I want attention. I want to be loved. I think it's normal to be a little bit selfish and want something, or some things to yourself, sometimes. but at the same time... I'm happy to be reminded and reassured - that I have people who truly matter, that I have a genuine passion to create from my heart, that even if the little "circle" I've built for myself throughout the years is barely anything compared to the large "circles" others have, the "circles" I want... it's my own "circle" where I can be happy.
thanks for this game. five stars across the board.
This comment is more than anything I would've expected for anything I was responsible for creating. I'm so flattered, sincerely. I'm really happy my work was able to touch you the way it did. Thank you for playing!
