Hey there! First off, thanks for you comment on Blazing Passion (and we are still working very hard on NeveN, especially on Maelbjorn's route right now, so I think it'll make you happy haha)! 

So, after playing Replay Video, here is my impression. I liked your writing, I know you said you wanted to work a bit more on your foreshadowing at the end of the VN but I think you already do a good job at it. You introduce the concept bit by bit and it's easy to understand thanks to the in-between scenes between each tape.

Omri and Alex are touching, and the story plays well around their relationship, first making us feel sorry for them before giving way to hope.

As for the technical aspects, I appreciate the fact that you drew custom backgrounds, it gives your VN a unique touch. 

I thought the music at the beginning was used for a bit too long before the first tape was played, but I suppose that's intended to serve the message about monotony.

On top of that, I encountered an unfortunate bug in the tape where Alex has his heart attack, when I tried to go back to a previous paragraph it totally broke the music for the scene.

But yeah, all in all a positive experience despite the few things I have to say about the technical aspects, so thank you for working on this VN! :)

Thank you very much!  Most of the jam, I was confused about what things were expected,  but finally started understanding more at the end once more projects started coming in.  With only two days to go, I was extremely limited in what I could accomplish, but felt I could at least do something with the idea.  

After the voting period ends, I plan to go back and add sound effects and cutscenes.  A dropped plot element was Alexander would be represented by a purple crocus, representing rebirth or the phoenix.  I simply ran out of time to draw in the references and develop the concept, hence all the purple and yellow throughout.

On the music bug, I have an idea what it could be from; I do have a couple music stops programmed in, and had some issues with fade working correctly.  As they were the last bugs in the code before I wad able to run the game. I just went back and deleted them to get it to play, and may have accidentally left something unresolved.

Thanks for your comment about the backgrounds!  I love drawing sprites, but loathe drawing backgrounds.  I only had time to make one or the other this time around, and opted for backgrounds since they were fairly simple and few were needed.  I have no issue with using photo backgrounds, but know some people dislike them.
