I have so much to say, but I'll shamelessly plug my blog, if you or anybody would like to read more of my thoughts on this brilliance, here's a link to some reflections on Superstorm Melon Date. https://mrdavepizza.com/superstorm-melon-date-review/
Superstorm Melon Date is an all-time favorite of mine, being one of the first visual novels I ever tried. From the super creative hand-drawn character/environment art to the revelation that in the right circumstances, a post-apocalyptic, hybrid melon person (Mel) could be interesting, hilarious, and honestly quite charming! This format seems like the perfect way to share a vision of the adaptability of humanity, even within the stretch of a half-melon humanoid society. No doubt it's a bit strange but so entertaining!
