thank you for the feedback!! :>
i fully admit the style probably isn't for everyone haha. since i have very little artistic skills when it comes to like, detailed drawings or even pixel art, i decided to go for a look that was purposefully "rough" to fit the story (while still trying to make it look readable). i'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you. i'll definitely try to do different visual styles in my following projects, to find out what sticks!
i'm glad you liked the story! and i completely understand the dialogue feeling weird, it's REALLY hard for me to write dialogue and i don't always get the best results haha. i have to revise almost every sentence and think "does this sound good? did i use this word before??". and sometimes everything just ends up sounding really unnatural lol. but i'll keep on trying! i really want to get dialogue right in my games. (i do want to say that the characters starting conversations with "hi" was on purpose. not trying to invalidate your criticism, just that it was a deliberate choice. i understand if it didn't sound good though)
thank you for playing!! <3
