You're absolutely right, Vignette is a Kinetic Visual Novel. It serves as a prequel story to one of our current projects - Avitus (working title). Keeping it kinetic allowed us to have a definite backstory for Rory without too much narrative debt leading into the main project.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it despite it being kinetic! We appreciate the feedback, it all helps us make our next games better.
