I never play a visual novel twice. I rarely ever watch a movie twice. I very rarely watch a series twice.
The whole concept of the game is incredible well executed, most of the time I would feel myself immersed in the story, interrupted by the sudden reminiscence that I was looking at a "theater screen", every time noticing how the timer was running out.
Until it happened.
And before I even realized, I was hitting the "Start" button once again, realizing how little life do we have in half an hour.
I don't wanna do spoilers about anything else, so I would recommend anyone else to just go on this blind :3
Incredible game overall!
Before I begin my review, lemme say something:
I LOOVE THE SILENT HILL VIBES THIS WHOLE GAME HAS.
Incredible use of the silence, ergo, incredible sound design and use of it. Also, as someone who prioritizes narrative over everything else in any sort of media, I really loved this entry. And maybe I'm just a sh fan, but Ru VA is my personal winner for best voice acting so far.
And yup, both of our entries share a lot of similarities in theme, but I truly believe they're both pretty unique in their own way :3
If I had to nitpick something would be that as much as I liked the BG animations (and they do tend to be heavy-sized), you should try to hide the "loading" part (with a black screen, preloading it somewhere, making it a prerendered video, etc), cuz I have 32 GB of RAM and they still took a noticeable 5~ seconds to load hehe.
Great entry overall! Y si buscas fanboyear de sh siempre toi disponible en discord heh.
Woahh, really :0? Gotta try yours then to give it a check. My main inspirations are (and always will be) Yume Nikki, MGS and Silent hill for... almost everything I create hehe.
Yup yup, I am a solo dev (also an spanish not native speaker heh), thanks for the compliments on that regarding<3
I'm glad you enjoyed my game!
Waaa I love everything about this, the storm effect, the voice acting, the visuals, the jokes, writing; the story is super charming too! Really enjoyed it.
One technical-side thing I would add is that a menu or something is needed to manage the saves, volume, among others (Personally this wasn't an issue for me, cuz I finished it in a single sit, but I can see how this could come in handy to other people xD). Besides that minor thing, really great job here<3 (Milo is lit me)
I don't usually play dating sims as such, but this one caught my attention because of the art direction, and it did not dissapoint! Also really liked how you guys implemented the divine/religious themes, and the overall vibe with the va direction, transitions, etc; creates an overall pretty unique experience, had a pretty good time with this :3
Thanks a lot for your review :]
...a gamejam game is just going to be too short to pull that off.
Yee, indeed. Actually, I wanted to make it way longer, didn't realize 1 week passes so fast when developing, I didn't take it into consideration and I realized it especially at the time of developing the script. Time passes fast, at least I learned that :3
Thanks once again<3
PD: About the mouse controls, the hole didn't pop up a mouse notification? It should have, that may be bugged, can you confirm so I can fix it later pls ><
Very fun level design!
Although from time to time the game felt very unforgiving, for example, the shooting plants projectile doesn't dissapear, or sometimes you need to go down and the camera won't let you see that far, creating an scenario in which you'll most likely hit spikes. Aside from that, pretty fun platformer :]
