In all honesty I haven't finished the game (I got to the part where Ms. Salma wakes you up), Visual Novels are not my thing, so it can take me a while to work through them; however I know there's only one day left and wanted to make sure I had a chance to comment before the rating period ends.

I have 2 minor complaints. I found the text somewhat difficult to read, I do like that it is unique and fits the overall style well, and it's likely more my problem than yours. Also, is Y/N supposed to be "Your Name"? If so I'd suggest just adding a prompt for the player to enter the name they want to use, as seeing Y/N felt distracting to me. Again, that's more likely a me problem, as I'm guessing the audience for this style of game is probably more amicable to it than I am.

Other than that, I thought the art was very well done, the characters seem interesting and varied, and I like that there's a little mystery sprinkled in. I plan on picking it back up soon, just not sure I'll be able to finish it before the jam.

Got off work early and was able to finish the game! I got the good ending. Honestly, I'm a little disappointed that the mystery wasn't explored in more detail, but I assume you all are making more games in the series that will expand on it.

I did run across one spot that was confusing to me. When Aku wakes up on the last day, there's a weird jump between waking up in bed and then waking up when they reach their destination. I saw your note that the web version is glitchy, so not sure if it just skipped some lines, or what, but I dug back through the history and couldn't find any sort of connection between the two... I should've taken a screen shot, but in case it's helpful it went something like (Aku wakes, starts pondering the vacation, realizes they need to check the rental car, * gets woken up as they arrive to the picnic). * = Where I got lost.

Definitely seems like you're doing a great job of sprinkling bread crumbs and lore throughout while developing the characters. I could definitely see this growing into a series that readers get really attached to! Oh, and one last note, that onde-onde looked amazing, wish I could get some around here!
