I've absolutely loved this game ever since I found it around 2 years ago! Reksa's route has always been my favorite, and I really like learning a bit more about Indonesian culture, since I knew basically nothing about it before I found this game. Currently playing through it again :)
But there's just one thing that's kinda been bugging me ever since I started playing...
Sorry, I get that this is a nitpick and it's probably gonna sound really rude, but...why does Rama's in-game portrait look so different from the other characters'? I guess I could say it looks a bit less...polished(?) than the other character art, even compared to side characters like Purba or Silva. I love his route, but I guess it just always bugged me a bit. He looks normal on the starting screen, but in-game, it feels like someone flattened him, dipped him in water and he just dried kinda weird??? I'm sorry, I know art is really hard, but I've just been thinking about how he kinda reminds me of a prune ever since I first saw his in-game portrait and I just needed to finally get it out of my system

Hi, Moonyasnow!
Thank you for the love and for finding the time to write me this kind review ^///^
That is a good question!
Rama's sprite is actually... hmm, how do I word this... I drew him deliberately with a less polished look, because I want him to look messy/untidy with less accessory/markings to reflect his inner personality. *spoiler alert* if you've done his route, you'll know that while he acts cheerful, Rama in reality is tired and troubled/haunted with his past. He doesn't care about his appearance, he is unkempt because he could care less about his looks. It's the least of his concerns (which speaks volume if you consider how Avians court *reference to Mitra's event*).
I hope this answers your question and give you some peace of mind :'3
Thanks again for the love and I hope to see you again!
xoxo,
