I love this game beyond words. I've played it five times because I'm pathetic, and it manages to make my emotionless-ass cry multiple times. I found you originally through Aloners, and I adored that game too (I cried as well w h o o p s).
And then I found this game when it was still in development and I fell in love with the plot before even realizing it was you. Any story about forbidden romances, especially due to not only laws, but complete social aspects are my shit. And then on top of that, you made my favorite thing in any VN, which is angst and seemingly betrayal from the MC. And you did it well.
Onto the actual technical stuff. The art was gorgeous, and the sound track was unique and simple yet got the emotions across. As for your writing. Just wow. I have no words. You're writing is impeccable. You're imagery and attention to details, and foreshadowing that can get lost but remain so significant is woven so well into the story. Your dialogue progresses the story so well and I'm beyond amazed by the story progression in general. The plot was interesting, and similar to Aloners, the MC isn't unbearably stupid. She's naive in this, but purposefully so. And god I know there isn't a stated time frame, but the slow burn moods from this k i l l me. In a good way. You could've priced this game at 15 dollars for just Ran's story and I would pay it ten fold. It's so rare to find VN nowadays that satisfy me in every way. And you did this so well. The sex scenes were also really well described, as in, the emotions you tried to get across to the audience was really well done. When it was clearly actions of lust comparative to just pure sensual love making was beautifully crafted.
Overall, I absolutely loved the game. I truly hope you make Wilder have more characters as a continuation. You have a dedicated fan here lmao. <3
Of course!! I'm happy you replied, I want to make VN romance games some day but I feel like I won't ever find a way to end stories because that's how my normal writing ends up lol. Ahhh I'm so excited! I don't know if you can possibly leak info, but do you have other characters you're thinking about for Wilder (besides Ran and Bahadur)?
If you want to make a VN, I definitely recommend going for it! I am also a chronic un-finisher, but making these games has really helped me get over that hurdle.
Besides Ran and Bahadur, there will also be a route for Royo (who you have met) and Amir and Jamal (who you have not). There is more information on all the love interests in the Wilder tag on my two tumblrs, if you're interested.
