I'm not great at Texas hold'em, but it doesn't matter when I can just cheat—though, little did I know, when you cheat in the game, you cheat in real life...!
Excellent execution with this VN, especially on the technical front! I can't imagine it was at all easy to program a poker engine into RenPy, yet your implementation here is so clean that it almost feels like it's a stock feature, heheheh~ And to then tie the poker gameplay into the story so seamlessly, complete with the cards spilling across the table when Betty bumps it...! What a delight~
That's saying nothing of the stellar sound design, of course. Having a diegetic source for the music (and adjusting the timbre of the music as such) is always a very nice touch, and it works wonders for immersion here~ And speaking of immersion, everything from the character designs to the music to the dialogue feels accurate to the period!
Fantastic work across the board~
