This was far better than I expected (There's a small piece of technical critizism though)!

I really liked this visual novel, there's a lot of creativity in there, specifically in the world building area (that nobody seems to mention). I like the setting so much, I'm craving a sequel to it! The technological gap between the two species sure was a cool idea, and I'd like to learn more about why the "goat people" would go as far as to build ark ships... fleeing their home world for a reason? I feel like there could be so much you could still do with this universe and the two main characters! Though I have to admit I was hoping for two routes being available here, but that's just me and my... specific interests talking. ;p

Now the (really) small piece of technical criticism: I'm a retro fanatic, so I usually inspect games and programs for their backward compatibility. I also fancy binary-hacking programs to make them work where they're no supposed to.

On the Steam page of the game you claim the VN would run on a potato and specify Windows XP SP1 as the oldest Microsoft OS capable of driving it. Typical for a Ren'Py game, they can usually all work on that platform. This is untrue for this one though; The game load-time links some NT 6.0+ libraries including bcrypt.dll, which is only available on Windows Vista and newer. I suggest either re-compiling the game targeting an NT 5.2 platform for 64-bit (XP x64, Server 2003 x64) and NT 5.1 for 32-bit (regular XP), or - and this would be much easier - specify Windows Vista as the minimum supported operating system on the Steam page. That'd just be editing one line of text. :)

Anyway, I'll leave a few coins around for this visual novel, it's definitely worth it! :)

Thanks for the feedback! While we're not planning a sequel currently, it's not out of the question for the future. You might like Palinurus, one of our oldest games, that is also on Steam.

As for the technical details, thank you for pointing this out to us! The newer versions of Ren'Py no longer support old Windows builds, and we'll make sure to update our pages ASAP.

Thank you again,
