This REVIEW applies to the ANDROID version ONLY!!
...I normally don't give horror VNs (the light of day) and certainly nothing more than 4 ☆s, but I am actually really tempted to give Reconnected 5☆s, if not for the unique use of dialogue features (that helps the already very expressive characters be even more multi-dimensional) than for having created a very fast-paced VN that has, so far, a good balance of aesthetics and lore ('specially after the addition of the data pad!) with the intrigue and plot to go with it (though I wouldn't mind scaling back the horror in favour of, well, anything else, but I doubt the author will; Either way, it all depends on when the horror crosses the And we're done line for me, which it, surprisingly, hasn't yet, but when it does then... I'm out), except...
...I have some mixed feelings with the latest update; Specifically, Day 7, which started out good and while I feel it devolved into an internal, albeit very idiosyncratic, monologue of...
...Okay, it isn't fair, per se, to (overly) judge the content simply 'cause I found it disagreeably insipid, if not rather unnecessary, so to be more constructive: I'd recommend breaking it up a bit more or being creative with the text features, like you have in most of the VN, in lieu of some of the long(er) winded parts, maybe even insert backgrounds that serve as flashbacks or something, because the protagonist's constant heming and hhawing seems misplaced, or perhaps should've occurred earlier in the work, 'cause he seems both mature and experienced enough (more so in light of the recent rewrites) that he shouldn't come off as being easily manipulated and highly impressionable at all.
Anyhow, the story is, more or less, great and I don't want to seem like I'm not trying to be both thoughtful and understanding in my review versus just critical.
-1☆ for no unique App icon on Android
...Again, from a professional standpoint, I'm still surprised that, given how much you took advantage of the ways to make the dialogue more expressive and that you, eventually, added a Hide button as well as added a proper splashscreen for the main menu, that you haven't created a unique app icon for the VN yet, which might seem rather trifling, it still says a lot regarding your presentation of dedication to seeing the VNs survival, if to completion.
...Anyhow, I, like your MC, fell very hard for your Crypt Wolf, and while the story has taken curious turn in the recent writing, I have altered my rating from 2☆s to 4☆s, but look forward to eventually giving your Reconnected 5☆s.
