OHHHHHHHHHHHHH

GOSH DLKFAJDSLFKA

This was such a delight!!! Especially as I don't know anything about these two chars, I was really curious and drawn in to see who they might be and their dynamic and the story and world (though admittedly it mostly ended up just making me even MORE curious and wanting more by the end ladkjfas)

I love how cute and sweet the dynamic between them is. And how Izumi starts out quite aloof but opens up over the course of the story. And then the MC sweetly sitting next to him by the fire, I wanted to cry 😭💕 It was so cute!!

I loved your use of the single-option choices to drive the dialogue forward! It really helped put us in the shoes of the MC? Since it's our "action" so to speak that keeps the dialogue moving. I thought that was a very clever and nice choice to make it even more immersive. Also the sprite was absolutely adorable! Loved the little movements you gave him, as well as the soft warm vibe encompassing everything. Make me feel like I was sitting there by the fire myself at times 🤭💕

I'm so curious about the world? Because it seems there's magic that exists? Then again, I'm still not sure if the MC is completely making up that pain spell or not LOL And also what exactly happened to Izumi prior to this. GOD. So many questions. But I imagine many of them will be answered in the upcoming BAF jam, yeah? That makes me pretty excited as I can already feel myself growing attached to these two and feel like their relationship is going to end up being a crucial part of the overarching story.

Loved how the main title art changed afterwards, ahhhh. It was so cute!! I love both of them -- and the MC also is simply too cute! 😭💕

Lovely lovely job and can't wait to see more of these two in the future!!

HEWWO

YEAH these two bois are two characters i haven't really shown yet (well, Izumi's shown up like,,, twice in the history of my 900 tweets on twitter but he keeps changing designs soooooo-) but ive been developing them the last 3 months alongside my high card brainrot and ive just??? fallen in love with them??? Because DAMN is their relationship intriguing (and unfortunately I had to water it down here for the sake of O2A2's rules but ill def be revisiting this little piece with more context down the road!!)

They do have such a sweet dynamic I love them lots <3 <3 <3 They're such queerplatonic bros and im so excited to write about them in more context when they're much older than they are here!! I also feel bad about not giving the MC's name here but, uh, considering it's kind of a weird name (no really, it is, there's a reason why i made a little jab at him thinking everyone has weird names in this 'verse) i'll have to post about it at another time haha

And thank you!!! I mulled over whether to put in choices or not because, honestly, the story could just as easily go without them if I wanted to, but I wanted to go for a bit more engagement from the player's end so i'm very glad to hear the game feels immersive because of it ^^

Magic DOES exist in this world but YEAH the little chant "MC" does is just placebo effect taking place and not an actual magical spell (though there's a reason I chose the words I did for it ;D). Neither of these two boys have access to this world's magic (...YET) but it does exist!! Although I'm not sure I can necessarily call it magic?? Because, I mean, it IS magic but also it's hard to classify it as magic in my mind? ahHHHH you'll see what i mean when i get to posting it but YES I will definitely be answering a lot of the questions you brought up in the game (they all are more or less answered within the first few chapters, actually, haha). And you're right about that!! Their relationship is very crucial to each other (which is SO funny to me because MC wasn't supposed to have such an important role in Izumi's life and, welp, here I am now, fangirling over the both of them <3 <3 <3)

Thank you again so much!! Really happy to see you enjoyed this, as short as it is, and I hope to deliver more on them in the future!!
