i finally read the VN!!! i assure you, the reason it took me 3 days after i said i would is because i was stuck in a 3 day game of Magic the gathering and not because it slipped my mind (lying).
But regardless, it was absolutely fantastic!!! my expectations were already pretty high but even so you have exceeded them! Everything from the prose to the artwork to especially the sound design was all so amazing!!! And the slow buildup of dread all the way until the end was wonderful!
i hope to one day make something as evocative as this was for me, and i will be very happy if my future work can achieve what you have already achieved here.
anyway, i shall refrain from going on and on about how i enjoyed it so TLDR: this was awesome :]
