i loved how much of this there was for such a short jam! three different characters, a thoughtful narrative, and honestly that 1.8k felt so much like a full on 10k visual novel to me, maybe because in loving, oblivion had so much to say and offer. the way the world is rendered in black and white only makes the red stand out even further, and i loved getting the chance to get to the bottom of this twisted and convoluted sort-of love triangle.
i def think the best part is, of course, the prose. the art is a great companion to the meaningful and deliberate writing of this vn. the switch between typical narrative style writing within the dialogue boxes and actual vn style dialogue is a really interesting way to blend the written form with the vn form, and i’m really intrigued by how this can be expanded! i typically write in narrative form too, so i always feel like that will speak more to me. great work!
