HELLO IT'S ME I'M BACK AGAIN

Before I get into everything else: I was actually watching your twitter through the development progress, and it was wonderful getting to see all the work and care go into it! It gave me an even better appreciation for the effort it took to pull this game together. And it all paid off! It really astounded me with all the little details you put into it despite the time limit - the caller ID bar, the ringtone, the charging ping and the charging symbol on the battery bar... it really lent to the charm of it all. All of your Undertale VNs really have their own tone and charm to them because of the way you chose to arrange the UI or how you focused on different mechanics with them, and it's an incredible thing to me!

NOW REVIEWING START

Artwork: Impeccable. Mmi's take on the sprites and expressions of the cast were on point, and her Papyrus portraits are so handsome!! But I have to give a shoutout to the way she drew Sans laughing, which audibly made me gasp when I saw it cuz it's so fucking cute. Even in the Pap game I keep looking at Sans rip.

Voicework: Once again, Dave batted it out of the park! It really is fun hearing him as the brothers, he does so well differentiating them and showing their character. Blair's work as Alphys was absolutely adorable, the stuttering and fumbling was ON POINT. But my heart goes out to CELLO AND THAT VOICE FOR UNDYNE HELLO??? It's a perfect fit in that hearing Cello's performance made me feel the same feelings I had the first time I saw Undyne: stupid and too bi for this.

Script: This was such a cute little romp! I've always adored Papyrus (who doesn't lbr) and he really shines in this game. I can't believe how SMOOTH he's gotten, someone really has stepped up his game since coming to the surface huh!! But beneath that he's still as big a sweetheart as ever, and reading his lines all tugged on my heart the same way he did in the original game.

!!! MINOR SPOILERS !!!

But the way I fucking lost it when I got to 'arms heavy knees weak my spaghetti'. I never saw it coming and it was SO good, thank you.

Thank you for yet another wonderful Undertale adventure, Cho!!

YOU'RE BACK!! I'm sorry that I'm replying so late! I needed to take a day or so to breathe after the month long NaNoRenO rush! I want you to know that I really do appreciate and look forward to reading your reviews! They really make my day! :D

Thank you so much for playing the VN! And I'm glad you could see the development! That's the fun of NaNoRenO! Everyone knows that the goal is one month (the fact that everyone releases on April 1st is, uh.... unfortunate timing because everyone thinks it's a joke XD). But we share as much of the dev process as we want! And it allows people to see a taste of what truly goes into making a VN, even a small one! I do that in hopes that people will understand how much effort goes into one VN.

I love the NaNoRenO team I had so much. They were all so amazing! I knew I wanted Mmishee right away because of how vibrant and expressive her art is! I knew it would match the aesthetic I was aiming for! And for the voice actors, I wanted to make sure that the ones I cast could bring the story to life with the emotions I wanted to draw out. LOL I'm glad Cello got you to feel that way!! XD

I'm glad you like the writing! I wanted this to be lighthearted and funny, but I also wanted it to be romantic and full of heartfelt moments. I wanted Papyrus to show that range of emotions, as the love interest.

!!! Tiny, little ~~sandwiches~~ spoilers !!!

I HAD TO I HAD TO. I remember writing this part and thinking "Yes. I'm going to make the joke." I even put that in the voice direction LOL

Thank you again for another wonderful review and thank you for playing!!
