I loved this game a lot. Kristine's plight really got to me, and while I'd love to see a conclusion, I understand why that isn't really possible. "so it goes". While I personally am not super into a lot of your discography (no shade obviously it's great just not personally my thing) I absolutely adore "Date Out" (listed in the files as "grunge song"). At around :30 where the synth starts playing is perfection. Also my jaw dropped when Kristine said she was from Orange County bc I'm there too! Never thought I'd hear someone say that in a visual novel. Excellent.

Genuinely introspective in a way I haven't seen before, in a way that's difficult to describe. I've been personally struggling with the existential dread of being a person in a world surrounded by the banal horror of global politics, but what I love about this piece is that despite our Main Lesbian being an overwhelming ray of sunshine, she can't actually solve any of these problems; there's nothing she can do. The thesis statement at the very end, that "everything is horrible but there's still wives to kiss" (horrifically paraphrased by me) is one that resonates with me on a level that no other explanation for the hell that we inhabit, and I find it difficult to explain why. So I won't. Thank you for proving again that short-form queer literature is the best ever. Excellent work. <3

Absolutely magnificent! Em is very relatable to an uncomfortable degree. Maybe I should get that checked out? Either way, this feels like the essence of capturing lightning in a bottle; a spark of some emotion I've never seen before, but I really, really want to experience for myself someday.

Thank you so much! I mean it, I love seeing people comment on my work. Also about the windows build. I just uploaded it so it should work now. I wanted to hold off until I finished version 1.1 but my game is basically unplayable in that state, so I needed to rectify that immediately.

The updated version won't have anything meaningful changed, it just gives an updated title screen and  a couple minor dialogue changes to make it flow better. After that, I'm done.

I'm already mapping out a sequel, but I don't want to get too bogged down in making continuations so that will likely end up being the last you'll hear from Marcia and Lilia. 

Once again, thank for your input!

Love this so so much. The class dynamics are really interesting and both of the leads are very likable. Very interested in seeing what you'll do next.
