Nice story! Hard to believe it's your first game and made in three days. Extremely impressive. Nice branching options and storytelling and characters. Also the little psyche out at the end with the tape got me. Excellent work, hope to see more from you in the future!
Aww, thank you! while I have been studying lots of engines and languages, game logic, and things like that, this was my first! And on an engine I never used or learned before, as I never really play visual novels, so that measn alot to me!

Really nice work, glad I downloaded this. The visuals were absolutely beautiful and the story kept me engaged throughout. The twist at the end was unexpected and well executed. Good job
I really like the art style. I haven’t had much experience with Visual Novels until now, but I read the whole thing. I was suspecting some kind of apocalypse at the end—and I wasn’t disappointed. Zombies! I enjoyed it. Congrats on a job well done. Everything is cohesive and visually pleasing.

Of course. I’m in
Very well done. Thanks for the game! I found one typo with the word "Prertty". And then the male character was off model in the stab scene. I think it's the eyes and the more angled cheeks/chin. Otherwise,
very well produced and you captured the emotional weight and feelings very well.

This is a solid story for 3 days! I never bring myself to playing these types of games but I’m glad I played yours, it was fun and I enjoyed the story
:) Thank you!! I am the same way, idk if I ever played a visual novel before this jam!

Visual novels are great to tell the story you went for!! Writing also has a solid pacing! It's hard to make a short story and you nailed it! Good job! ✨
Aww, thank you so much! It legit shocks me how supportive this community is and how well it's being received! Thank you so much!
The story was great, this types of game aren't exactly my cup of tea but I still found It fun, It's crazy you made all of this in python, with no game engine!
Great job!
O.O I used ren.py as the game engine! I'm not THAT good of a coder haha it's in the credits of the game! But I appreciate your words nonetheless!

That was a lovely story. I loved the AI art you used and how you made them a bit 'chubby' in the past and losing weight in the present. However in one scene Lauren does look different, especially her hair color, but yeah you could get off that by just saying she dyed it I guess x) My favorite part about the game is the highly polished UI. Nicely done!
Yeah! I would have kept the art more consistent if I had more time left, haha, thank you so much! but that was what i was going for with the perk of weight loss from a zombie apocalypse lol
