Hey there!
Thank you so much for the kind review, it really means a lot. And I’m really glad that you enjoyed the demo!
I’m Sei, the writer. This is probably the nicest comment that I’ve gotten on my original writing ever and I’m sitting here and blushing with a giddy smile on my face. Ren is really near and dear to my heart since I’m also a ball of anxiety. I really wanted to explore how pervasive anxiety can be in someone’s life, especially how seemingly benign things like a younger brother coming and visiting can make it spiral out of control.
Haru is one of my favorite characters to write for 404 (Ren is my favorite to write), but I adore all three of Ren’s regulars. Fuu and I are very attached to all of them. I’m really glad to hear they’re likeable even though you don’t get to see their faces in the demo.
Again, thank you so much for the thoughtful and kind comment! -Sei
Oh my goodness, hello!
Oh man...I don't know where to begin with this response! This is Fuu, the programmer and artist! This was such a lovely thing to read that I'm still sitting here screaming in joy! It means so much to get feedback like this and even more that you enjoyed the game! We really wanted to create a game that explored things that so many experience, but not many actually take the time to write about, let alone in a game setting. It was definitely a journey to get the demo done in time, and I really hope to get even better art done for the full version of the game!
Thank you so much for the lovely review. I'm still screaming like a pterodactyl over here! If you want we'll be posting status updates on the game as they come on the tumblr page!
