Andrea, I profusely apologize to you for not commenting earlier [not that your life would depend on it, though)].
I read OLSK a year ago. As a seasoned VN reader I was confident, 'Nah, no onions. Nope, the story is predictable. No way in ren...py will it make me cry, there is no voicing even.'
And yet I was crying. I don't know how you did it, but I was crying.
And the ending is just great, though I expected the MC to leave.
The CG with the half-transparent marine silhouette is a great embodiment of the whole story.
PS I hadn't cried after losing some girls in Katawa Shoujo, I wasn't crying while playing some grim VNs, but Azzurra and Giovanni...
I also hope so. If you ever need help editing texts in English and Russian, LMK.
I'm not a native speaker, but I teach English as a foreign language for a living and I help proofread/translate VNs for free.
I helped edit https://namelessnoun.itch.io/infamous8/ and the video scripts for https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC2P80KxEtlkoTFscHsH3NA/videos
+ I translated Infamous8 and one lewd VN into Russian.
