I love this story so much! It's absolutely amazing! You did an incredible work! All these subtle details, connections with the previous game, character development, different endings, plot twists, a very unusual game itself!
And OMG you have no idea how much I love Ashton! When I first launched the game, I was so surprised, because it wasn't.. him. I was confused, but then amazed by plot twist! So when I saw the real Ash again, his eyes, his teeth, his smile, his words.. it was so sweet. He is irreplaceable. He loves so much and there's nothing to compare it to. Ashton's heart is completely devoted to MC.
The only thing that really upsets me.. despite the whole concept of the game, despite breaking the fourth wall and the chance to be together.. eh, it's still just a game and Ashton will not appear in reality. That makes me so sad. So as a players we can only hope that at least in a happy, true ending, MC of this game will be able to truly meet, touch and hug Ash.
Regarding Ashino, well, he's interesting as a villain, but sorry pal, I don't like yanderes who aren't "yandering" for me pfff
p.s. I wish you good luck, inspiration and many thanks for giving this world such a cute, faithful and loving boy. I look forward for updates with all my heart! I hope we will be able to kiss Ashton at the end~
