Thank you for your kind words!

I can't speak for others, as I'm a voice actor and I didn't oversee others' activities, buuut...when I started looking at characters' designs, my reaction was the same. "You didn't need to make this one so hot, wow. Oh, the same for this one! And that other one! And..." not knowing Lorenzo would also be stunning, haha

I agree, you can tell the people in charge of coordinating were so passionate while working on this demo to make it feel right and polish the details, I'm glad it can be felt on the released product. I'm so proud to work along with them, please stay tuned for updates~

The ideas behind this game are gold. The way the UI is designed, the little details—down to the planchette pointer—are so appropriate. While some bits could use polishing (there are essentially no "camera movements" like close-ups or pans to make the scenes more dynamic, the cards could use some animation to give the card-drawing an immersive flair), looking at the credits tells you the team wasn't the largest. This means plenty was accomplished for a single-month jam, congrats!

The story is unveiled in a manner that feels close to a tease, but with far darker undertones, the imperfect repetition builds the world to make the conclusion far more satisfying. And the voice acting is great. While being gently guided by the narrator (who isn't alien to emotion), I can feel how the Old Friend is holding back in their attempt to arrive to the best (?) outcome, the Other Friend's otherworldly nature that's incapable of understanding humans. Congrats on this game!

The reason why this VN stands out is that the characters feel like real people, from mannerisms and texting/speech patterns to ideology. Silly and scary. All of them feel like the potential secret lives of people you know. The art and voice wrap the plot up in such a pretty package, too. As both a gamer and a VA myself, I just appreciate the attention to detail. You guys rock.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It's fun to make a small contribution to a well-thought plan and voicing the friend-shaped discourse entity is so rewarding ✨

Hello, hello! 

So glad to read this. There's a super passionate team and impressive coordination behind the scenes. I can't speak for others, but voicing Korako is so much fun when the story's continuously hinting at bigger things that have yet to be revealed. Thank you for playing!

Streamed some of it today and, despite making a small contribution towards this project, I didn't expect the plot twists as the story builds up through its slow burn. The sense of unease as you start putting together the puzzle pieces before the characters can is rewarding. And horrifying. Can't wait to finish it and figure out what's happening to them.

Like we needed more reasons to hate huge companies... Nicely done! And props for the unhinged and creepy voice lines~

NGL I picked this game out of curiosity because I recognized one of the VAs. I didn't foresee this story would have so many difficult but beautiful parallels in the characters' journey.  Great job!

I didn't expect to laugh so much, and the voices really sold the story ✨

Whomever wrote the story really remembers that middle school social angst. Beautiful designs, hilarious voice acting (or awesome growling in Mr. Monster's case). Great job!
