I will try to make my feelings on Weeping Cherries at least somewhat coherent
(my first instinct was to go "AAAH😭😭❤❤")

This is just a lovely visual novel.
First and foremost, the illustrations you did for it are beautiful. You can just see the adoration that Kyū and Tei feel for each other, and their expressions conveyed so much. Plus the sad moments really hit hard with the accompanying illustrations.


The story was also beautiful and so sad. The hope and the conviction they show in Ending A made it feel like their struggles together brought the boys even closer, and it was very satisfying.
And Ending B was absolutely heart-wrenching. I struggled getting it, but I also understand Kyū's feelings to a degree... it just felt so unfair, so I was very glad that the sad ending wasn't the only ending. It's nice to have a happy ending to fall back on after the tragedy.

Honestly, I'd love to see even more of Kyū and Tei. Either their past and how they met, or their future. But, even without seeing more, I didn't feel lost about their pre-existing relationship. Everything made sense, and you gave just enough of an explanation of their pasts and how they met that it all felt very natural.

Needless to say, I have a lot of feelings about Weeping Cherries. All good ones. I love a story that can both make me cry and squeal in joy. It was wonderful and I'm glad I got a chance to play it!

Hi, Cryptid! Thank you so much for playing and for writing out your impressions! This one has a special place in my heart so I'm happy you liked it 💕

I enjoyed the playthrough, as always! I especially liked the soft and sad voice you gave Kyū, I felt it fit his character very well. 🥺

TBH this story was intended as a one-shot so I don't plan to expand on it right now (even though I do have their backstory and other scenarios planned out in my head lol). But I'm glad it works, even in this format! It was one of my goals to make this game as self-contained as possible. Also, as much as I love my sad endings, I could never give them just a sad one and call it a day, that'd be too cruel dkfsfskfsdkf (conversely, giving this story only a happy ending wouldn't feel right either, so i hope i managed to strike a good balance between these two equally valid outcomes 🙏)

Anyway, thank you again! It was a lovely read and watch! 🫶
