Espacio para hablar sobre el juego en general.

Place to talk about the game in general.

ame el juego, que tenga el inglés y español como dos lenguajes me encanta entiendo el español, pero es algo complicado a veces y gracias a que el juego esta en ingles puedo entenderlo mucho mejor, adoro el tema visual y musical

p.d: si necesitaran más temas musicales a futuro estaría completamente encantada de ayudarles sin precio alguno ;D

I love the game; the drawings are beautiful and the story kept me hooked.

There is a small bug just when we leave Matias' house and Cato is waiting for us outside; the sprite has some errors <3

Also a slight error in one of Matias' questions (I forgot which one it was, sorry) Where in both option were the same things.

Even with these small errors the experience is enjoyable! (I played on the Android version, I don't know if these same errors happen in the PC version!!)

(This is the small bug on Catos face btw ^  ^!!)

I enjoyed playing it! The game UI feels unique compared to most visual novels on itch, I like it. I'm liking the dynamics of MC and Cato so far, the option to reciprocate his feelings or be unsure about him is appreciated as I personally don't like it when MC is too quick to suck up to the romance leads when they have a flirty personality. I'm also interested in how you're going to develop Cato and expand his backstory with us.

The English translation was a bit hard to follow as the sentences can be long winded and the context could be misunderstood, however, it is still readable and understandable. The sentence format of some of the dialogue could be worked on but it's not a big issue overall.

As for the bugs, I noticed a couple. On the first day when Cato sits on the couch, his face is missing from his sprite in a couple of dialogue texts, it appears again shortly after advancing through the text. On the second day, when given the option to ride with Cato to Matias' house, there are two option boxes that have the same question "You are knowledgeable about cars" (not word for word, I'm remembering under the context). When Cato is picking you up from Matias' house, his glaring expression will remain on his sprite but his coded expression will appear on the side of the background (courtesy to the user above for sharing an example). And finally, when getting into the car with him he will not have an expression on his face until advancing a bit more through the dialogue. That's all I can remember at the moment.

Thank you for your hard work and take it easy!

I really like how the story unfolds, I like how controlled and very warm Cato is, despite the provoking questions or reactions we're given, he doesn't seem all that reactive to them and instead he gives off a very safe and calming vibe which, if you think about it, can be frightening. I like how we can see cracks forming with Matias especially if you choose the choices that get mad at him. It's an interesting trick for MC to self-isolate themselves from their very limited support system. Love Matias though, despite their pricky demeanor, it's obvious he cares a lot for MC and only uses his prickly demeanor to tell others to back off on behalf of his loved ones.

I also like how we can subtly see the hints of something... Wrong with Cato. How he can feel lovebombing at one point but can instantly rein himself back and make you think he's just an impulsive and enthusiastic person. It's just really cool to see how you feel safe with him, when you really shouldn't and that it's too soon. I like how MC's settings are laid out in a way that makes it believable if we want to be with Cato from the get go. They're lonely, they lost their parents and feel very conflicted about relying on their only friend (presumably), and they just got out of a toxic and abusive relationship.

Someone like Cato must be a godsend for MC and it's already very interesting how far Cato knows about MC and why he adores MC so much (especially with the ex-boyfriend and the dream symbolism, that is making my brain tickle in curiosity!)

Great first visual novel, love the layout, UI, sound effects, art (I adore it so much), writing, and overall vibe!! Looking forward to see how you continue to shape the story!
