I'm leaving this comment to those who are just as hesitant as I was to start the game.
I was a bit hesitant to download this game because I saw great Ideas ruined (in my eyes at least) on this website and I'm fairly critical with everything I play, BUT...
I downloaded this game yesterday, played a little, got hooked, Played through the whole game today (I've read every single dialouge and choose every single option) and now I made an itch.io page just to make this comment.
WOW
I have fallen in love with this game. It has just the right amount of everything and it has my favourite trope of all time (Locked in the same room/house with a potential romantic partner). It has a bit of the supernatural but it's not overpowering everything like in some games, it keeps everything mysterious enough to get you hooked PLUS the romantic choices DO matter (Ex.: day 2 late-night door scene with different playthroughs). I love the art, the writing, before the dreams sequences, the dreams themselfes and it doesn't hurt that Jim is easy on the eyes iykwim *wink wink*
I don't even have critiques. My usual problems with Visual novells are that they make 2 choices disguised as 3+ options (usually one is romantic and all of the others have the same responses just with minor tweaks) but with this game I could't even pinpoint the "important" (Influential to the end) choices. All of them feel like it shapes the story even if it doesn't. Good Job developer!
I hope this project will come to fruition because it's killing me that it was left on a cliffhanger haha. Much love <3
Ps. I am holding back with rating right now because I want to see day 3 before I make my final judgement :3
