i really like this visual novel a lot. certain phrases such as 'you're beyond being flustered at this age" stood out to me as being special. even hopes that you'll improve over time only for your personality / core being to remain the same. delightful. the music is very nice too.

elpis is really good and the way the two characters interact is fun. fun people interacting with those overcome by anhedonia is always interesting to me. 

also every time i thought the art was beautiful, it got more beautiful. amazing.. crazy.. i admire your ability to keep amazing me!!!

also here are the notes for the save bug, but my friend read too and said he didn't experience any save bugs. i got this at multiple times:

[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

thank you so much for all those kind words...! it means a lot to be able to hear what parts made an impact for you 💚

about anhedonia, i agree. it's interesting to put an agent of chaos in there to poke around at those folks, ahaha (poor deimos). separate from boredom, or apathy. like being trapped in a body that won't do anything you agree with... there isn't 'nothing,' but the 'something' is tied down.

i'm glad you found their interactions fun! i love them both to bits, but... someone recently referred to elpis as the "love interest" of the story, and i had to do a double-take LOL. i don't think of elpis that way at all!! (it's true, but.....)

your comment about the art is too nice, thank you 😭 i will reverse-uno you and say that everytime i thought your comment was nice, it just got nicer💔

thank you for the error details! i believe i've fixed the issue and will upload a new build shortly.

oh yes. this story being yuri but not really romantic in nature is really good. i also never really viewed Elpis as the love interest, but perhaps female lead is a better alternate word! (that is just what they use on manga sites haha) 

i hope to continue reading things you make for a very long time. i fell in love with this work in just a few sentences !!

i hope the error is fixed too :D !!

🥺 uuuu.. i want to print this out and hang it up on my fridge---v

thank you again. i really appreciate your feelings 🫂

the save should be working as intended now! (in the future, i'll also add a cg gallery;; didn't quite have time to figure that one out..)

If you need any help, let me know!

I've implemented one before and could probably even help you get one together before the jam deadline. It's actually very easy but knowing what to look for online is difficult!! 

But there is no pressure! You've done so much already! And I'm happy to have brightened your day!
