For me on Android, the animation at the end of Val’s route did play, but only in the original version, not in the version with the epilogue fix.

The puzzle was good enough that I borrowed it for use in a tabletop roleplaying session a couple weeks later. It took 3 me tries to get the right solution. I thought it was paced well.

I would appreciate more puzzles like this in more VNs. (I’m a huge fan of the Zero Escape series, for example.) For me it provides some more stimulation than just the reading does.

However, my reading goals are different than others. Many people read for escapism, not to do work. So I think the best way to accommodate readers who may dislike these puzzles is to have a toggle in the options page with these options:

1. Never skip puzzles
2. Always skip puzzles
3. Ask me for each puzzle

I would make 1 the default, since you crafted the puzzles and you want people to try them, but tell them once before the first puzzle that this option exists if they want to change it.

If somebody skips the puzzle, one dialog box can explain that the MC solved it and then move on.

Minor bug: If you erase “You” from the player name prompt and leave it blank, it defaults to “Kobu,” which becomes a bit confusing later on.

No success using my finger to interact with the scroll line. However, SlavicBoi’s suggestion worked for me.

Thank you, SlavicBoi. That worked.

I’m in the chapter select screen on Android. I don’t see any side story option. I think the listing is supposed to go past Chapter 8, but I can’t figure out a way to scroll, nor are there previous/next links like there are in the gallery. I’ve tried all mobile gestures I’m familiar with. Am I overlooking something?

My workaround was to save, then immediately load the same save.

I also don’t know how to leave the menu.
