Omg I finally got back to this and just finished Hendrix's route for chapter 3 and WHAT??
Spoilers below!
There's no way you just gave us a heartwarming, happy christmas scene and suddenly I see Hendrix's dead body. We literally just kissed the guy 10 minutes before that, PLEASEE. This game is really good at making me feel happy one moment and shocked/sad the next moment, istg.
So I fully focused on Hendrix for my first run. Haven't started with Edmund, but I'll definitely give it a go once I have more time. Hendrix's route was super sweet. I'm a huge sucker for the childhood friend trope, especially when done well. But Edmund himself is also really fun, it's really hard to choose between the two of them ;; Thank god the load button exists huh?
Aside from that, what I really love the most of this game is- once again, is how comfy this game feels (despite some of the death and all). This game has a really unique, somewhat nostalgic vibe to it. I can't really put it into words, but your art, character interaction, choice of music, and background all contribute to it. I also said that I love the friendship in this game and I still stand by my words. I didn't think I'd like Lana and Sky that much (at first I just thought "oh, new side characters, okay"), but they're just the sweetest, their friendship feels really natural and genuine. I LOVE that night sky scene so, so much, and also their talk about fate.
Also, I gotta say this again. I still think it's crazy how you're able to write, draw, and provide SO MUCH content for this game. Your hardwork and love for this project is really inspiring. Once again, thank you for sharing this gem with us!!
Edit: And also that menu screen changing was SO GOOD
Hi Sylvan!!! Thanks for your reply :) When you say you like 'how comfy this game feels'... Okay, Act 2 & 3 will have a bunch of angst, so get prepared for that hahahaha~
TROT is much different now compared to what I initially planned to create; the story and characters have grown together and more complex during development. I am excited to see what we will have in Act 2 :)
