Hey, thanks for the review!  The comment about the First Controversy made me laugh lmao; I'm glad we settled it privately and I am glad I got to participate, so thanks for cutting me some slack on that!  Your criticisms are really helpful and I'll be taking these words moving forward in my future projects.

What's ICO:ML, though?  I'm not familiar with that acronym and now I'm curious 👀

Following up on those heels, I've got for y'all to use this Strawberry Bear!  The .psd file contains separate layers for each emotion, as well as shirtless and clothed versions!  You will also have the option for a stupid graphic on the tank top if you want, but that won't look right if you flip the sprite.

Check out my Dropbox folder here for .pngs of each layer and the .psd file!

That is a HELL of an opening line tbh

And the rest of the VN continues to deliver!  I really loved the prose, it was a really appropriately heavy for the subject matter.  I really loved the atmosphere you were able to capture with royalty-free images and provided sprites.

I would have loved to see Jo's reactions or have her on-screen, but I understand the limitations of the jam.  I think it was a good entry within the confines!

First of all, congrats!!  It's a beautiful little VN and I had a great time reading it.  My only question at the moment is: how do you feel about fanart of Warren?  He's so handsome, I want to see if I can capture him, myself.  :3c

An absolute masterpiece in my eyes.  The entire experience is handily in professional realms, from the UI to the artwork to the soundtrack.  I was afraid the change in styles between the CGs and the actual sprites would throw me off but both styles and renditions of Warren have so much charm and personality!  I found myself so enraptured with his actual sprites and how expressive he is!  oh goodness my heart

My only critique is that I can see where this would be more interactive, had you not had to make the whole thing in a month.  The bit with the Gizmos is absolutely a jumping-off point for the player to engage with the world in a really fun way, Warren's tower itself would be a whole slew of fascinating exploration opportunities, and the solution to the climax would be such a satisfying contribution the player could make!  As it stands, however, the kinetic novel approach is appropriate and still a good experience!

I am very hopeful this team stays together because y'all obviously work GREAT together, I'll be eagerly watching what you can put out in the future!

Done!

Ah, thank you!  I've updated the PC version.  I haven't really considered an Android version?
