Firstly this VN is exceptional, props to the people who made this all come together. I eagerly await future updates!
Small spoilers ahead!
I want to say that the writing is phenomenal, it portrays the world with such a nice depth that not only sets up for future events but events in the story but creates a liveliness that exists outside the context of the main characters and plot. Speaking of the characters I think all of them are extremely well written and and I am very excited to learn more about them and their pasts. Another thing I've really enjoyed about the narrative is how present Rael's past is, it's very refreshing to see a main character in a vn that has a context/history/past (sorry I wasn't sure how to word it) outside of the actions of the present. So far I have absolutely loved the cast of characters and each of their unique perspectives and personalities. So far I'd have to say my favorites are Obaa with her charming snark, and Zuberi with his genuine kindness and passion (and maybe I have a thing for dad bods but that's besides the point). Mizz and Sam are close behind and I can tell the others will grow on me with time especially Caleia, at first I was kinda iffy but after the group talk and her calling me a good boy (I literally walk away from my computer for a second because I was flabbergasted) I think I'm really gonna enjoy her character. So far I am absolutely loving it 10/10, but maybe that's just because this appeals to my favorite brand of Sci-fi nerd shit.
I must say the art for this project is top notch, with a beautiful sprites that have a handful of great animated expressions for each character (I like the laughing ones the most, Sam bent over like that had me chuckling) and a multitude of excellent backgrounds (like 3 bg's just for Mizz's hangout was kinda wild and I loved it) this has got to be one of the best art directions I have seen in a vn in a while.
The stat system seems very very interesting and while I haven't run into any major decisions impacted by it yet (I think, but there's a possibility it impacted something without my knowledge) I am extremely excited to see how it affects the story.
So far I have only done the hangout scene with Mizz, and I took the Space, Dreamer, and Inventor options at the start, but I am definitely gonna go back and play through the hangouts with some other characters.
I can feel the love that has been put into this project, thank you for sharing it with us! And I am hyped for more lore on cool sci-fi shit!
