abigail is perhaps #girlfailure of the year.
the character art is very charming, and the story follows an interesting trail.

i do mourn that the mother is so one-note - i would have liked to see maybe flashbacks to abby's younger years, maybe one to before her brother / father died in the car crash. it would provide further characterization to her mother and show the reader if she was always like this, or if it only happened afterwards.
nora surprised me a bit. i liked the parallel of her behavior against abby's mom's behavior. abby crawled right from one abusive household to another in the end :(
a big difficulty i had with this vn is the overusage of text effects, including the pauses after commas / ellipses. please make it so these effects can be turned off in preferences! it detracted from the writing and made it hard to focus on the story.
still, for a first time vn, it shows a lot of potential and i really do look forward to what ya'll create in the future!!! <3
