This was an unironically good visual novel. And I normally don't like VNs that much.

It had the right mix of everything in my opinion. It was meta at times, could be funny (it did actually make me laugh out loud multiple times) and had the ability to be somewhat serious at times. In addition to that the characters felt real, with multiple character traits, not being based completely on a single little trait. No character acted completely out of line from what I expected (although i almost only watch clips form some the featured VTubers).

I also liked the visuals a lot more than they were (probably) intended. It was barebones, but the Sprites, that were there felt alive when animated. It also lead to the texts being more decriptive, and the player having to use a little bit of imagination without having to use too much. I especially enjoyed the smutty scenes, because they were so well written.

Now to explain, what really gripped me, while playing, let me tell a story(Spoilers ahead): I just downloaded the game and was in a realy shitpost-ich mood. I saw the choice about Pomu's contract. i thought "What is the worst that could happen? Why not!" And the game just went on as usual. Heck i even forgot about that contract. And then I got my first ending with Elira (btw, I really tried finding the song that played there, would you mind posting a link to it/a playlist with the Soudntrack? I would appreciate it) and I found the first part of the Epilog to be rather sweet. That was until Pomu showed up. And when she mentioned the contract, it all came back to me. Never did I regret a single choice in a VN so much, such as this. And it also scarred me for life. I cannot look at Pomu the same way now...

What I'm trying to say is... this Game somehow awakened a special feeling in me, that I cannot really explain, but it's a good one!

I didn't see all endings yet, but I for some reason decided to try to get all achievements. I'm not quite there yet (Especially Elira Max Love) but I will keep trying!

Speaking of which: would you be comfortable with me releasing some sort "Ultimate guide" for the "All LINEs" and "Seduce all nine girls" achievments, when I get there?

I am definetely looking forward to more of your content, should you plan on releasing more. And if you do, I would appreciate more Characters (looking at you, Mika) although I don't know how much that would influence the development.

Anyways, did this change my opinion about Visual Novels? A little, yes. But did this intruduce me to someone who has great writing skills? Absolutely! Consider me a follower.

It's in the jukebox. Just click on the song names. Not all of them will be unlocked though, you have to have certain achievements.  The musicians themselves are mentioned in the credits. All songs are taken from NijiEN members music, a lot of them are their BGMs

I have to give as much credit to the Nijigirls as I do to myself. They're all such strong personalities with their individual habits and quirks. With certain girls like Rosemi and Finana, you can basically copy-paste from how they normally speak, their voices are so distinct.

It's also nice to hear they were accurate. This was a big worry of mine and I spent countless hours watching streams from the girls I don't usually watch, so as to capture their vocal tics and the cadence of their banter. 

I'm glad I did, because I originally wasn't going to include Ethyria at all, so as to limit the scope. But I was watching a Nina stream one day, and realized how incredibly talented and charismatic she is. From there on, there was no way I wasn't going to include them, even if that meant essentially doubling the writing time and asset production.


but the Sprites, that were there felt alive when animated. It also lead to the texts being more decriptive, and the player having to use a little bit of imagination without having to use too much.

Fufufu, this was my intention. Staging the characters and choreography took almost as much time as the rough draft, but once you get to see them move and speak, it's really magical.


I especially enjoyed the smutty scenes, because they were so well written.

This was my first time ever writing sex scenes, but I found that it wasn't uncomfortable at all. A big part of their success, I attribute to the natural intimacy and connection between the MC and the girls.

Someone already made one in this link. I can confirm it's accurate .

That's really cool to hear. I tried my best to put heart and soul into it, so people could feel the way I feel. That it touched you and others in the same way that it touched me really means a lot.


Anyways, did this change my opinion about Visual Novels? A little, yes.

This is great to hear. VNs have so much potential as a medium. Some great stuff has been published, but there's so much room to grow, and when creators start taking their work seriously, they can create some truly amazing stuff.


And if you do, I would appreciate more Characters (looking at you, Mika)

I'm playing around with the idea of cameos in the sequel. I typically wouldn't consider it, but certain individuals fit so naturally within certain scenarios.


But did this intruduce me to someone who has great writing skills? Absolutely! Consider me a follower.

Look forward to my future releases then! I'm not stopping just yet, it's full steam ahead for me!
