Disclaimer: I'm associated with the project, but this is my first time actually seeing all of the elements come together and actually getting to play it.
I had to write a review, even though I was there for this entire project.
If I had to summarize my experience in one line:
"A visual novel that will tear your heart apart even if you know what's going to happen."
GUI: FRESH. Honestly it's so clean, and Anna, you really knocked it out of the park. I love the amount of features you managed to bake into the final product as well.
Story: Absolutely heartbreaking, in many ways. I'd rather not spoil it. Even though I read this script twice over, it just felt so clean and well put together after seeing it come to life in a visual novel. The many twists and turns make for something that could easily end up being a lengthy series of associated visual novels. It was a good story.
Music: Easily considered Triple A videogame music. Beautifully crafted.
Sprites: I've said it once and I'll say it a million more times, Selene's sprites are so beautiful!
Voice Acting: Branden's directing skills were superior, and he really lead the voice actors to where they needed to be. The story was undoubtedly enriched and really came to life with voice acting.
SFX: Honestly, astounding that Anna was able to put as many special effects as she did in this visual novel. It's jam packed full of it!
Backgrounds: What I had imagined while reading the script. Perfect for the visual novel.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jax!
And also thank you so much for being part of this project and helping me out with managing the team - as team management isn't my strongest skillset, you made the month of December worthwhile and an amazing dev experience!
I'm so glad that we managed to produce such a good product and the memories we've made during development!
