Hullo there! I just finished playing Grandma's Ghosts, and I really enjoyed it! You did a great job, and it looks so polished.
Even the Itch page looks polished, with the background and colours. It all looks so inviting!
I really like the art in this visual novel, with the pencil-like lineart. The colouring has a picture book quality to it, which I love. I think the music fits very well for the scenes. And I really liked the writing, it had humour and it made me like the player character interacting with the other characters (especially Victor). The sound effects were a nice touch, as well as the animation (cookie getting bitten, the phone vibrating, and the characters floating up and down).
Also, the song for the end credits gave me feels. >W<
You asked me to give some feedback on the visual novel? Again, I think the game feels very polished, so I'll try to give some critique moving forward to future projects:
- I think adding transitions (like a fade to/from black) when the player moves on to a new scene would help to show the passage of time.
- Adding a button to go back and see previous text would be helpful for players who accidentally mis-click. And adding an option to increase the speed of the text would be useful to readers.
- Lastly, I think adding a smiling expression for Mom's sprite (to switch to for when she makes a joke) would have helped to show the tone of her voice in the text.
You've done an amazing job on this game. I'm so glad to have played it!
