This is a seriously impressive work for it being your first game ever. Equal parts nerdy and heartfelt, it so perfectly captures the feeling of friendship in this digital age and threads it through with really pretty prose. The medium was used to incredible effect with the photo manipulations, sprite movements, text cut-ins, and switching between novel and text box modes to make everything hit that perfect bittersweet nostalgic note with hope for the future.
Absolutely loved it, despite a few areas where the transitions could be smoother or the context could be slightly clarified. Everything just works so beautifully to carry the tone and intent perfectly, incredible job. Brought me to tears, which I think is the mark of good storytelling. Keep it up!
