I liked this article a lot! I like hearing creators talk about their process for making theirs games and overcoming challenges that tend to arise. I'm glad you got to step out of your comfort zone. I know it's a hard (coming from a serial join-game-jams-and-never-submit-any-games).
You saying that you have had the most difficulty with the writing. It has a nice flow to and considering this is your first visual novel, you really nailed down the thriller genre. Great work on that, and the game in its entirety. Thanks for sharing! ♡
