An amazing visual novel!! I loved everything about it - the music, the UI, the art, the voice acting, and of course the story! I'm really impressed you were able to create such a big project in one month - the whole team did a fantastic job!
Pc 98 vn's are one of my favorite aesthetics. Obviously the ui is a replica of virgin angel's but there are other subtle touches to allude to that era, especially on the aging of the images with little effects. There's so much I was surprised you could do with renpy. The computer interface was crazy. The cg's were my favorite, especially of the one of nova.
Chica is best girl.
The scope of this game is insane for a jam project. I have grown really fond of the characters. The voice actors did and amazing job bringing them to life. Oh and the OST really slaps. Plus, wow what an UI and visual presentation. The whole team did an amazing job.
Thank you for making this game!
One of the best games I've played in this jam. Hats off to the creators.
I cant believe this is free
An impressively huge game - extremely well done getting everything in order, there's clearly a lot of work & love behind this project! The worldbuilding is intriguing, the plot is tragic and well-done, VAs great, and the characters are all great fun (I'm a big Nova fan, I've decided). The art direction throughout is also a stand-out aspect - the old vhs anime feel works well, and having the older-style pc98-esque framed UI is a really great touch that cements the vibe. And the CGs!
Biggest congrats on the submission!!!
I'm gonna be honest with you, anime style is usually not my thing. But this one really stands out, and I felt obliged to say something. Beyond the solid writing and story, I'd like to appreciate the subtle film grain, chromatic aberration, and those particle effects in the visuals. It pulled me straight to the 90s vibe and kept me there for the entire game. I felt immersed. I definitely ended up staring at the intro CG a little too long before proceeding. It's so good!
Good eye! There's only a 1 or 2px offset for the chromatic abberation so not something most people will notice consciously
The writing is so good in this it was an extremely immersive experience paired with beautiful art and great voice acting! The opening scene and the one where Chica and I found Yua (So sad D: ) were the two that stood out the most to me.
Also Chica is adorable I love her design so much! Great job on this game! :)
Everything from the presentation, the voice acting, the CGs, and the story is just perfect.
The contrasting vibes of sweetness and horror is so well done, with the doomed timeloop yuri just hitting hard where i live.
This is the type of VN that i would pay for, and its an absolute privalege to play it like this.
I have yet to play other submissions for the jam, but this might be legit one of my favorite games so far.
Love to see more from yall!!!
Very long and very cool. The girls are distinct in looks and personalities. Their VAs really did great job! Other than that, I love the retro simulation interface even though I kept clicking random menus unintentionally. Overall, the game is very polished.
I downloaded it on my tablet (thanks for releasing it for Android). I just wanted to play for 5 minutes. I hadn't slept very well... I ended up playing from start to finish in one sitting. It was the funniest and most enjoyable entry I've played so far. I'm sure the writer has a good amount of experience writing. The PC-98 aesthetic is astonishingly good. I hope you guys continue with this project. I'm taking notes, I've got much to learn from you!
one of the highlights of last year was marchen line and this hits very very similarly. 10/10
Came for the sick thumbnail art, left a decent rating for actually good content
The overall style and presentation of the game are really great! I've never played a PC98 game but this is what I imagine they'd look like
