Exciting!! FTR, selling your merch is fine as long as within hobby scale -- so conventions, online shop, etc. is fine! j

hi! i'm one of the artists on BTH-- I don't know if I ever commented on this, but your cosplay and merch is absolutely amazing!! It's so cool seeing this character come to life... the prop too! awesome job :-)

first off, I would Love to know more about the real life models of the protagonists used in those pictures because wow they are charming. the background work is phenomenally done, too... all in all very visually cohesive and beautifully done. My single gripe definitely lays with how hard it was to read the text sometimes ^^' It wasn't an issue when the backdrop was black, but the red/blue outlines unfortunately made it a bit of a strain to read a 1px handwritten font (by the way, the custom UI and the font itself is so charming). Anyways, the dialogue here was so nice. The humor and the existentialism went hand in hand, and their banter felt natural and engaging to sit through. This was definitely one of the most emotional VNcup entries I have played through thus far - there was nothing too dramatic, but something about the character writing was resonative and struck some chords with me. Everything just tied in so well with the themes of the game. amazing job!! 

the presentation of this VN was genius! it felt like I was reading an animated comic with how all of the panels appeared. kudos to you guys for drawing all of those art assets, oh my god.  the compositions were fantastic. the character art felt both loose and clean, and complemented the backgrounds extremely well. I had to take a moment to stare at how nicely the BG images were processed and textured.  my one critique visually was that at some points it was hard to read through the text, as the black outline was a little thin against busier scenes... other than that, amazing job!!

the writing of this game was so, so good. i seriously loved your depiction of the trans protagonist. she was an entertaining read and I adored her connection (literally and emotionally) with the Machine. not once did the sex scenes feel exploitative or fetishistic despite its explicit nature, yay!!! i don't know if i can talk about spoilers here sorry but the depiction of sex and the weight it carried in this game was a breath of fresh air. what a wonderful game. 

this was such a sweet experience! i could not stop smiling from start to finish. i cannot emphasize how much I adore the art and sound direction of the game- the range of mediums and textures used for the various cgs are sooo satisfying to sit back and admire... my favorite visual was probably the train scene. absolutely stunning. i can go on and on about the art direction but honestly I quite love everything about this game. the character dynamics were nicely written, the presentation of its story was unique like i'd never seen before, and the dialogue managed to feel natural yet surreal at the same time. it is so nice to play a game that makes you feel loved. it is so nice to be loved. thank you for your hard work ♡
