Holy hell, dude. That was sick. Hats off. Round of applause. Time for everyone to pack up and go home because you wiped the floor with our sorry asses.
You don't need me to tell you that the presentation was an 11/10. The UI, the images, the backgrounds, the sprites. the audio. Everything was top notch. And, although you kinda belittled yourself on the writing, I thought that it was pretty dang good too.
One thing I particularly loved was what you left out. For example, when the numbers first appeared there wasn't any goofy exposition or ham-handed monologue that ground the pace to a halt. It just was. Now that's how you tell a story within a visual novel. And, I'll be honest, the concept brought me right back to my teenage years when I watched that shoddy 2011 movie "In Time" with Justin Timberlake, and I loved that.
The only nitpick I have is that the opening scene is a little weak.
Still, it's a fantastic entry. Absolutely fantastic.
