Pink Narcissus rated Yet Another First Day

A browser game made in HTML5.

The sprite art in this game is of course very adorable, having the vibe of cutesy bara (the women are drawn like this as well, which I very appreciated). As the game is made in RPG Maker, the environments are made like overworld maps. A neat detail is that the characters are represented with triangle-like shapes to denote their positions in the rooms, which is honestly very clever! 

The story is slice-of-life with a bit of character drama; albeit that I don't usually enjoy the genre too much, the short length makes it work for me on a personal level. We also have a main character with so much anxiety that I'm begging for him to allow himself a crumb of self-confidence. It should be noted that it didn't come off as grating however, which seems to be a hard thing to pull off with this type of character. I did in fact root for him :)

The only thing that could be considered a negative is that the music is somewhat too standard, not doing much aside from portraying the general emotions of the scene. The tracks could also become repetitive, but with the short runtime this is not an actual issue. 

Very good job to the creator (and it may have inspired me to perhaps making something outside of ren'py for a future, so thank you for that <3 )!
