I really admire that you went into this jam to spread awareness about the current situation! I think we should all continue to be constantly reminded about the things that are happening around us! I can see that a lot of general real life events are reflected onto your game, so I'm glad that it wasn't at least uninformed. I think it would have been a lot safer to have relayed this message using a fictional setting. Replacing this with a fictional setting that has the same intent would still hold the same meaning and be a bit considerate to those people who were more directly affected by whats happening right now. I know you have good intentions and come from a good place, and people can obviously see that too, so I would still like to thank you for helping with any you can. It's really admirable!

On to the game itself, I think it was a nice read! As I said before, its informative about whats currently going on now. In most visual novels, I would normally agree that player choice should have an impact on the end of the game, but it would be pretty weird for this game to show impact of choice given the decisions the players make (it would sort of feel like the game is taking a stance and could cause some unneeded discord right now). I like how you addressed the consequences some of the choices would have on society if you picked them! I wish all of the choices had those descriptions too, because some of the choices just directly progress the story without mentioning anything. I like your hand drawn character! It looks nice and adds a lot to the charm of this game! Also, not sure if Renpy just comes with it in default, but I was surprised with a lot of the setting choices available! Could have used some more sound effects though to add to the experience, but, again, am not familiar with Renpy to know how difficult that would be.

Overall, I really admire that you used this platform to spread awareness and positivity. It inspired some hope within me, so thanks for that! Great job!

Thank you so much for your detailed analysis of my game. I really appreciate the efforts you took to give me all those points for improvement along with reasoning for the same. I will definitely keep those in mind the next time. Thank you again for the lovely analysis. :)

Also, Renpy does come with all those settings choices by default.
