Haven't played, but thank you for writing this retrospective treatise.
(I don't normally play games, so your detailed account of your experiences, whys and wherefores were great for me to hear)
Devlog # 17: Postmortem for This Visual Novel Isn't Like Other Visual Novels, or making a really infuriating game » Comments
Not the original poster but I want to say I enjoy reading postmortems like this and would actively look for them (even for games I don’t actually play). I think it’s both informative and entertaining.
I definitely enjoy your thought process in this one, although I must say my eyes are truly bleeding at thin black on purple.
