(review based on jam version)

why must god give his hardest battles to his frailest lesbians

didn’t really find this one as hard to get into as people have been saying. definitely took a bit, but eventually i got into a nice flow of keeping my energy up and getting at least one interview in each day. sadly, there wasn’t much i could improve upon there with the unfinished outside exploration and the very quick loss of energy. this also meant i had to rely on the frustratingly luck-based interviews for all my writing, and it didn’t help that there’s no indication of how options will affect popularity among different groups. that being said, i do think there’s a lot of potential in a loop like this, there just weren’t enough options to really take advantage of said potential.

writing was fun and rather gay, although there were a few grammar issues throughout. definitely got absorbed into the story, though. plot was very well-done. music was also great, as evident by the fact that it didn’t get old after an hour straight. all in all, i can see this game being a REALLY fun time with some more polish, but it’s definitely not bad as is!

Akyuu is one of my favorite characters and I like the look and feel but found it so hard to play T_T I don't understand how the clock works, and it's too easy to run out of energy because you can't easily know how much energy you have left, and then you have to start again... That aside the writing is pretty good, I really like your writing.

A bit hard to get into, but it's pretty good if you like visual novels and/or seeing Akyuu and Kosuzu's bond.

So right now, the balance is broken is a "how does this even play" way.

by an option not yet available, which probably makes reaching the good ending harder or maybe even impossible;
and also by the clock which doesn't force you into the next day, which funnily enough, will allow you to do as many actions within a day as you want.

I've seen endings 1, 2, and 3, which are bad endings and easy to get - and ending 5, which looks like a neutral ending. 
And I didn't unlock ending 4 yet. I have reasons to believe it's the good ending I mentioned earlier, so I won't be seeing it soon, which is a shame.

I hope the game gets updated with the fixes and the option it needs, the writer poet vibe and the time management concept are actually good on paper. So I'll definitely play again once an update's out.

Visual novel type games are always fun! As someone who is recently introduced to Touhou (I was dragged into this jam by my teammates), this game gave me a look into characters I'm not yet familiar with. I think there are some bugs in the game currently? (I don't think you're supposed to be able to infinitely stack work in one day when the clock has gone multiple cycles?) But with those fixed and some additional polish (more responsive UI, button hover and click effect, stuff like that), I think this would be a cute game. 

I loooove the aesthetics of this game. It has some high quality writing that captures the characters involved pretty well. I think you have to be familiar with the system in which the time is being displayed because it can get pretty confusing (It Happened To Me.)

You also have to rely on luck to get material that is interesting enough for Akyuu to write about. At the moment the option to wander outside the village is incomplete so you can't go get any interesting impressions and whatever option you choose at random is likely to end up being unpopular with the readers, but I'll look forward to an update!

I also think the portraits are super charming and the Akyuusuzu parts are Peak. Thank you for the food.
