Hello! Tonic here. Thank you for sharing your game- I really enjoyed this slice of life story! The little things like the water drop noise when hovering over menu items, the blue custom cursor, and the clean title logo with the broken heart really helped create a serene, if slightly downcast atmosphere.
I thought the opening scene with the footsteps sfx was a very effective way to start the story, to evoke that sense of searching and being lost. The description of winding through the forest area, as well as the thoughtful emotional prose in general, was well done. I especially liked the moments in Boris's own thoughts where you can tell he's deeply sad, but kind of unfeeling at the same time. It's been long enough perhaps that the sadness has settled somewhat. But he's seeking to move forward somehow, even if he doesn't know the direction.
The characters seemed lovingly designed, and the blush/grin expressions were very endearing, haha. Overall, it's a sweet little intro to a budding relationship involving two people who are trying to heal from their problems in their own way- ya can't beat that! ☺️💕 If there's one thing I might give feedback on, it's that the music track is a bit short/repetitive, which I find more difficult when I'm reading a visual novel for an extended period of time. But still, it has a nice mood to it!
Thanks again for sharing!! It was really cute! 💙
