Ended up only playing up to the training dummy bit due to time, but the presentation is stunning and the writing is very very good. Pacing is definitely an issue; fights take a lot longer than you'd expect them to, and it takes a while to get into the meat of the story, but it's a good RPG nonetheless.
I've been trying not to give too much indication of what my favorite submissions of this jam are, but this is definitely up there. Beautifully written story, it definitely made me feel *and* laugh. A lot. It was very relatable as a trans woman myself (even if I am kinda at the same point as... well...), and is sure to hit familiar notes to other trans players as well. I really love how expressive the animations and text are, and Waka, your portraits are as beautiful as ever. Overall, one of the highlights of this jam and absolutely worth playing.
not gonna lie, thought this was a horror game at first given the big black eyes everyone has
Making a Ren'Py RPG? interesting concept, don't play a lot of VNs so it's an interesting concept to include for a jam game. Regardless of my previous comments, I actually really like the art direction the game has now that I've played it. The writing is extremely good, I love the way the characters are captured and how the story isn't spelled out for the player. You might want to disable through the history while going through the battle sequences as it's possible to cheese a bit that way, although I think doing so also made Ren'Py break a bit.
I don't have as much of a problem with the ambidextrous control as I do with the two lanes going in the opposite direction. I feel like there's a lot of eye-shifting going on and even on the easy setting it's pretty difficult and hard to get into (I have a similar problem with the Persona dancing games). The presentation is really good though.
