Was immediately attracted to the game after reading the premise. omg the art is gorgeous and I love love the config UI. Voice acting’s great too! Looking forward to the full game! :D

Onething though, I assume the dumpster diving mechanic is not really completed yet? ‘cause sometimes the neighbour would just constantly come check without stopping, and it’s kinda hard to tell the timing when he’s gonna come back in as the penalty was instant the moment he does without any other indication. Or maybe it’s just skill issue & I need to gitgud LOL.

Hi! I'm so happy to hear your feedback!

Can I ask what OS you used? It seems to be a recurring issue for Windows, and I haven't managed to test it because I no longer have a Windows laptop. However, if it's also happening on Mac, I'll patch it! Sorry for the trouble I was and am the only dev on this </3

Ooh okay mine is Windows xD It’s no trouble at all, I think it’s really incredible that you’re one man army-ing this game! O:

Wow, the voice acting is truly incredible — it feels like watching a movie!
Overall, such a wonderfully cinematic visual novel!

Thank you for your kind words! The voice talent that worked on this project really did help bring it to life. I'm so happy that you found their performances as incredible as I did.  ( ´v` )ノ

Another banger game from yurinationrise!!! The art is wonderful, the premise is very interesting, the VAs are great, and the wide variety of gameplay is impressive! Definitely will be keeping an eye out on future updates!

Super interesting premise, I was admittedly a bit confused because my ass cannot understand stamps it seems LMAO. But seriously, love the conversations, very fun intro as well that really establishes the tone well :)!

Thank you for your feedback! <3
Admittedly, I was also struggling with the stamp system as well (programming it, and also remembering what the package actually was...) 
Hopefully, I can make it more intuitive in the future, and I'm glad to share this story with you!

so excited for the future weeks ^^
