The theme for this game is great, i didnt even think of somone doing somthing like this for the theme and it fits perfectly.
Gameplay
At first i was a tad bit confused what type of gameplay was paired with the visual novel, then i got the option to switch labels and it made alot more sense, it works well with the theme and the idea, it made me keep a bit more of an open mind while looking at characters
Art
Overall the art is pretty good, however the implementation of it would have done alot to improve it. for example the character profliles or icons, are behind the text area making it a tab bit hard to see there faces, or character designs, for some of them its fine, but some other characters i feel loose there on screen presence. having some sort of highlight or focus on which character talking would also help alot. overall good art, with a bit better implementation it could be great!
text System
WIth visual stories text systems are the like key to its success alot goes into em, you did great having text history, settings to change text options, having save features and a auto feature. it could use with showing text one character at a time, and the ability to change speed for indivdual words you want to give emphisis to, along with the option to bolden words. theres alot in freedom is guiding the player in how you want them to read. overall great job implementing this options
Overall in total: Good theme, good story, could use some more polish to make this game have alot more impact!
