This was a lot of fun :D It wasn't long before I found myself excited to see what lurking horrors I was gonna encounter next!
Aaaand having been a slave in the retail sector in the past, I can say for certain I would much rather go face all that freaky stuff than spend another second working on tills serving customers x3 even if I repeatedly had the crap scared outta me for real, haha. Anything is better than the crushing depression of working retail T_T
I really don't wanna spoil story stuff for anyone, so I will just say that in the ending I got, the twisty stuff put a big smile on my face :3
It's insanely incredible that you managed to make something so awesome as your first-ever visual novel and as a solo project too!! Add on the fact that it was also your first game jam and yet you still managed to get it all done by the jam deadline and you can colour me beyond impressed. The art is gorgeous, the story is a lot of fun, and your music choices are spot-on as well :3
I sincerely hope you gave yourself one heck of a pat on the back and treated yourself to some tasty food cos you've created a gem here ^-^
