Thank you for your extremely kind words! Your feedback is really appreciated. This was my first time making any kind of project like this, and I think you can tell in some places. I really didn't expect anyone to dig into the code, HAHAHAH, I couldn't figure out how to make layers work.
In terms of the story, I had a lot of ideas (especially surrounding the choices) that just had to get scrapped based on time and ability. I wish I could've made those choices a little more consequential as well.
But I'm really happy that you enjoyed the game! If I do end up making another visual novel in the future, I'll keep your words in mind! :)
