i loved this!! there seems to be always at least one banger visual novel in every rpg maker jam haha.
(SPOILERS)
the story was really intriguing, being centered around two characters that effortlestly hold the weight that's required of them for everything to work. marissa really feels like someone stuck in mundanity, and with no experience in healthy romantic relationships, who slowly grows and finds her true worth through the course of the story. and cordelia does a great job at feeling like a welcoming host, being a lot more "refined" in her manners and way of speaking (kudos to the writing there!), before we start to find out things that make her pleasant personality feel a *lot* more unsettling. there clearly was a lot of effort put into the character work!! :>
i really really liked the art! the backgrounds were really clean and readable, and especially the character images were SUPER stylish! a good visual identity is important to make a game stand out and i think this game nails that. the faces are super expressive and can pull off warm and welcoming, scared, disturbingly angry and pretty much every emotion the moment needs. i LOVED the small comic-like "cutscenes", they add a ton of personality. and ik it's a random compliment but i really like how hair is drawn! :D the art really pops at every second and i have next no to complaints as to how everything looks.
i managed to get all endings (all of them were pretty intuitive to get, which isn't easy so well done!). and i loved how it wasn't just "1 good ending and 7 bad ones". like the description says, they aren't really good or bad depending on how you look at them. though like others, i got stuck in the music sheet part. but hey props for putting the answer in the comments!
i'm just now starting to get into trying more dialogue/character focused games, and this was a great way to prove how good this genre can be!!
