I loved it!

This was a really pleasant VN. I like the way that characters are represented, you get a really good view into their different personalities. The dialogue itself was well-written, with some good fandom/inside jokes thrown in. And although the story didn't delve too deep into the LGBT theme (though I did catch some hints) I think it did a great job with the Identity theme through attributes of self-confidence and religious beliefs. The art for the characters was extremely well done and super cute, and the talking animation was a great touch! I know it was a game jam project, but I wish there were either more backgrounds or one of those high-detail/narrative illustrations thrown in. I would definitely be interested in playing the next chapter/expansion of this game!

Audio and music is good! Artwork also very nice

This is a solid VN! I absolutely love the art and the talk animations, the soundtrack fit the mood really well and was relaxing, and the writing was stellar with some good character stuff and jokes. I remember you were pressed for time in including an LGBT-representative storyline, which is understandable, but I certainly would have loved to see it in this game and if you update with post-jam I'll be sure to check it out. Great work!

The small amount of people rating this game makes me think it's underrated. There are many deep and funny quotes, and while it might not be the most unique storyline, it's still something to easily lose yourself in.

I really like the game, would play a full version, really like Satori and Sanae in the story.
The art style is super cute, especially tengu wolf (well, I love Momiji, so maybe I'm bias)
The usage of the theme is really good.
just need a better title :D

We have 2 additional routes in store, I was really hoping we got the theme. Although it will be after the jam
The title was literally a last minute call, by me.
I'll be sure to let the artist know about your complement.

Please share if you enjoyed, I want to give my team a large audience for their fantastic work.
