This is one hell of a debut into the VN world. I'm so grateful for your efforts into making this a reality - it's truly inspiring for me as a creative and aspiring VN writer. I've been nonstop trying to spread this VN like gospel, and recently showed it to my brother - someone who is also big into making VNs. We read it all within one afternoon, and spent a car ride just talking about it. To be honest, I think he loved TMT more than me.
He loved it so much, in fact, that he just had to share it with his best friend, who he read it with just a few days ago. Now, it's really hard to get his best friend invested in anything involving reading, let alone a kinetic VN (they have severe ADHD), so when they managed to finish TMT in one sitting, and spent two hours just theorizing about the story and its layers, that I knew for sure that this is one of those once-in-a-lifetime stories.
We've all made a pact and promised to work on a VN together (my brother and I have also written our own, but never collaborated besides beta reading). I'm also doing a group-reading with a few friends soon - I'm so excited to show them one of the brightest beams of light on the indie gaming scene.
Once again, thank you both so much. If I could read this story again for the first time, I would.
P.S.: My brother and I were talking about the colour motifs of the girls, and we found it interesting how their colours coincided with the deadly sins of Wrath (red), Sloth (blue) and Yellow (gluttony), and how those sins really did fit Alba, Erica and Nicole. Was this intentional? Or just another one of those beautiful coincidences?
