I'm not usually a visual novel fan, but this game has some relaxing tunes and cool visuals that I really enjoyed. One thing I would recommend is having an option to speed up the text scrolling or click to load all the current text. Maybe that's just me and my 2X times video watching brain, but I always like to read at my own pace if possible. Also I love the song names!

I love the style radiating from this game, the characters offer up quite a bit of personality and remained engaging on my playthrough. I think there might be a scaling issue on higher resolution monitors, my main monitor is 2560x1440, and I think it ended up pushing the windows on the "ancient desktop" off to the side a ways. I saw another commenter mention that players are able to spend a good amount of time walking between the computer and the door to the radio station, having that doorway in a more central position would definitely help resolve that. The music held my attention, though it would be nice if you could preview the songs you're choosing to play each night.
Also, This is a test sentence! Give me a quit button! lol!
All around solid start, I'd love to revisit this some day :)
Really enjoyed the conversations and radio operations. There's a lot there for "steering the community" which is a really neat hook. I felt like I spent a lot of time walking across the radio room without it adding a lot to the experience. (Although it was nice to have time to stare at Jammio and contemplate the universe). Sweet music, also. Does the music I put on the radio each day matter?
This was a really cool game! I'm looking forward to the postjam version if you guys make one.
Also, I played this game in this video here:
Wonderfully charming and stylish. The music is great and characters cool.
