you know, when I released this game I saw some VN fans angry at me because they thought I was making fun of their genre without actually playing it. So this comment really warmed my heart, thank you.
I'm glad my comment had such a positive effect! Visual novels, like any niche genre, is easy to mock from an outsider's perspective, so I can see why those critics might have been on the defensive, but that's not the right mindset for a fair critique. I've seen enough low-effort parodies and "wacky" VNs that I usually skip over anything that even sort of seems like one, but I enjoyed Doomed Love and I'm glad I played it. Thanks for putting it (and yourself) out there!
