  • Thank you for sharing your game! Overall, I thought the game was really well done and I enjoyed playing it. The storytelling was especially impressive, as it really made me feel immersed in the gaming experience. I also appreciated the attention to detail, such as the instructions, description, help page, thumbnail, and disclaimer that you included. The visuals, sound effects, and transitions were all nice and added to the overall immersive experience. I did notice that the game was heavily reliant on text, which could be taxing for those who don't enjoy reading a lot. However, those who love to read books, they will definitely appreciate that. One thing I found interesting was how the game crossed a line between a game and an interactive story. It reminded me of interactive shows and movies on Netflix, which was a unique approach to gaming. I loved how you planned the choices in the game, giving control to the player. Overall, great job on the game and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Keep up the good work! - Vyom Pathroliya

+1 to vyom.pathroliya comment, but please next time don't loop the screaming lady sfx :p, one time is enough to scare the user.

I'd recommend you to work on your writing if you want to work further on VNs, the dialogue was in incoherent across some panels but I can understand that happens in a limited time jam. I'm also interested to know what VNs have you played? Something specific inspired you?

Thanks a lot for your review on the game. Yes, I have been playing games on itch.io itself since 2021 and I have played quite a number of visual novels - horror, romance and gore. So I had a good idea about creating a visual novel, especially having gaming experience with such games.

There are many VNs which I have played till date. Some of them I list here

- Doki Doki Literature Club

- The Mother

- Don't Open Your Eyes

- Therapy With Dr. Albert Krueger

- The Doll Shop

- Paranormal Buddies

- Various kinds of horror quizzes or surveys 

Once again thank you so much for your feedback! Surely I will work on my writing skills for VNs, it was a tight schedule so had to come up with a quick and basic story. I have learnt using sound effects for the first time and I will do it better in the further games I create.

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is quite encouraging for me as an amateur game dev. I will surely improve myself in the coming time!
