There was some sound mixing issues (like how loud the old internet dial up noise was lol) but otherwise good short horror VN.

Short and simple, and it works! Such a fun little game 😄

Writing: Pretty good. I like that if you say you like sports she remembers it later on.

Theme: It doesn’t look scary at first, but you can sorta figure out it will change later on, and then it does get scary.

Audio: Pretty good, although I kinda feel like the keyboard typing sound might be a modern keyboard. And I think it would have been fun if there was voice acting, but I guess there’s plot reasons not to have that. I wonder if Melissa would have been able to compose music herself, I mean, you can do a lot with 4 kB of RAM. (And yeah, I like that there’s music in some places but not in others as if the “game” itself were playing it.

Visuals: Really good, especially considering how little time it took you to make it. Did you consider making this VN playable on the hardware it’s inspired by? I feel like it should be technically possible (not quite sure about the screenshake effects though).

Fun: It was fun. Maybe a bit short, but I’m not sure what I would have added. In fact, the obvious place to add stuff would have been before it gets scary, but that would sorta de-emphasize the scary part. I think it’s pretty fun the way it is, although I think it’s not necessarily the type of VN I like most (I kinda like when things are a bit silly, like if I click the “quit” button on the main menu in the web version and it opens a new tab and it says “I’m sorry, but I can’t allow you to do that” (that’s a reference to HAL)… wait… you almost did that, but the tab that opened is blank).

8/10 good waifu

This game BUS!

I forgot to leave a comment but I played this game a few days ago. I love the aesthetic and Melissa is a fun character, I still need to check the other routes but I was satisfied with the ending I got xD

I'm just happy I didn't break her heart, that's good enough for me but maybe not for the rest of the world 🤭

Great game, really loved your aesthetics... and Melissa of course!

Well done and good luck!

Considering I play almost only dating sim, I am glad they don't finish the same way ahah 

Well done

I loved this game so much! I played through two different endings. I was not expecting either one.  I love an old school computer type of game and this checked the boxes for me.  YES, "It's real CUTE!" I love Melissa. The art and atmosphere were top notch for me!

What a cool game! "You can do so much with 4KB of ram" 😱

Both narration and art are so good!

This was super fun! Both hilarious and horrifying.

I enjoyed this game so much.  I play games with my sound muted, so I don't know how the sounds (if any) were, but the visual style was great.  Reminds me of the old (and I mean like 90s old) computer games.  You did a great job.

Excellent little gem of a game!  There's not a lot of complexity to the plot or choices, but the game is incredibly effective at what it goes for - and I especially loved the "final ending" if you try really hard to survive.  I won't spoil anything, but it has a strong I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream vibe to it.

This is my new favorite VN of the jam so far.  Excellent work and I can't wait to check out your other projects, CatTrigger!
