I am really enjoying the story, so far, but I really dislike the engine you are using. It's a real shame too, because it spoils the experience for me. I do not like the way you cannot change the size of the text (my 5O year old eyes are getting bad and I really find the text quite small for how far I have to sit away from the monitor and struggle to read the text.) Having a lot more save spots would also of been great too. And the fact that when you save, history before the save is not saved, so you either have to re-load a previously saved slot, or try to remember where you left off. So, yes, I LOVE the story, but hate the engine you used to make it, sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. The developers are working on the final game in the series and plan to change to a different game engine. Hopefully, you can have a better experience if we have the opportunity to publish the final game.

I never realised it was a series. Does that mean that I really needed to play the earlier titles before this one? I mean, this one made sense to me (like it was its own story,) but would love to know the title of the previous ones. I notice that this does end on a cliff-hanger! SPOILER ALERT!

If I can make a suggestion, perhaps you can use Renpy to make the final game in the series? For my own, selfish reason, this does have the Ability to change the size of the text. And, it's a very popular choice I have found among the many 100's of Visual Novels I have played. It is a very good engine. And it is free. Also there is Unity, but I think that is a paid for software. Thank you for the reply and he AMAZING game! I am so glad they got together in the end!

Thanks for the feedback. Symbiotic Love is chronologically the first game but you can begin with Melancholy Love or that game without issues. There are also sequels that are being localized and developed.

I must say I agree. The story and the art ARE top notch, the engine tho is worst than most renpy's amateur projects I tried.

It didn't spoil my experience, but I had to play stiring my eyes quite a bit.

Also the choices felt kinda wasted on me, I've got a gentle hearth, I'm too affraid of bad endings.
