Wow, I have only just saw this on my itch feed and I look forward to how it turns out.
I bought the original version of Orphan's Cradle on digiket quite some time ago. I tried it and honestly I found the art style kinda adorable, and it's not a huge issue for me since I'm no artist myself, and the muscular / mature man elements of the characters are right up my alley ;)
But ultimately I wasn't able to finish the game due to the incompatibility between the game and the system (having to switch the locale and the resolution of the screen every time) and that I can't read japanese. And that the MC seems to lean too much towards bottoming in many romance routes
Still, I know it's a game made with heart and dedication and I would really love to see the remake version coming into shape!
Thank you guys for the hard work!
