Here for Sweethearts Chapter 0

Lmaooooo my brain really thought her name is Intro, but yeah it's not cleared.

Anyway to the more serious writing, I love the background aesthetic with the "glow" filter, and I feel there's a huge improvement of the background from the previous visual novel game you've made (?; could be a bias of me influenced by the "new" status of this game). The text are easy to read and the dialog box doesn't conflicting much with the background. The sprites are lovely. The zoomed up on father face seems a bit off, not because it's weird but because the downgrade of the father face being stretched to fit the face on the screen (?; I could be wrong since I'm not an artist; perhaps there was no downgrade of quality in the father face?).

In the end, it's lovely and I would love to see more~

Edit: Moving the video to the top of the text.

Chapter 1! Well apparently as people said, there' something disturbing about Netty my besties <3 in this colleg- there's something disturbing about Netty, though I wouldn't say traumatic.

And this visual novel goes to a direction of what I would call "Dark Love". The easy to digest term would be "Dark Romance" but it doesn't really tell the whole aspect of love in this game which is either or both romantic and platonic. In video itself I refer it as "Dark Otome" since I'm trying to find a 'correct' word to refer to the style of the plot. Which I think still cannot convey anything, since Otome are related to romance, especially young girl demographic if I remember. So I come with the term you've seen before, "Dark Love".

I love it, it is something I seek of a "Dark Love" where instead of a normal love story where you'll be morally good (or bad)/caring for one or multiple partner here what you love is your own self. You just want people to love you. You don't care what method or the 'opinion' of other character as long as they all will love you.

In video I called the main character a person without heart themselves, as their heart always change like a mirror to match the person they want to capture.

I think that's all.

Also, in other note.....

THE FROG IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT

Chapter 2! Feels more sweet than Netty my bestie chapter, which feels more sinister. I really love how Theo expressions are explored here, I thought he'll be just a cold guy but apparently he has a cute side to him too!

Well, my final note for the game is that I notice that it seems there's a lack of sound and music. I'm okay with this, but perhaps some people will feel it's rather mundane on that part? Though it isn't too much of an issue, like it's still a good game. I mean you did a good job at controlling when to silence or to play the music which is already great!

I think that's all and I'll be waiting for the next chapters! Keep doing a great job!
