This was super slick and stylish :3 The art is absolutely gorgeous! I normally don't like additional gameplay elements and exploration stuff in VNs cos I tend to play em in bed just to read and relax before going to sleep x3 but I did think they were really well done here! Actually, more than just well done, they were fun! Which isn't something I thought I'd ever say about point-and-click stuff cos usually it just frustrates the heck outta me, haha.
The lil animated bits here and there were brilliant, the difficulty level felt about just right for me (I played the jam version cos I already had that version downloaded on my PC), and I absolutely enjoyed the handful of endings that I got (S, W, and A - with W probably being my favourite!)
Admittedly, I am not exactly your target audience x3 I love VNs, and I love horror, so I play a lot of horror VNs + consume a lot of horror in general, but I'm a pretty picky player, haha. As I mentioned, I'm not a fan of additional gameplay elements most of the time, and I also can't stand school/student settings >.< BUT, I want you guys to know that despite all of that, I still had a blast playing through Red Zero :3 So I guess what I'm trying to say is, you won me over, haha :P
If you're wondering why on earth I would even play at all, it's partly cos I hope to check out some of everything from the jam cos I like to binge spooktober games throughout October and see what awesomeness everyone has created, buuuut mostly I found the art & character designs + mention of zombies too much to resist :D Also loving all the fungi stuff btw!! I've been trying to learn more about native fungi this year and even bought a lil identification book x3
You can tell a lot of love went into this!
