Thank you so much for the feedback! I absolutely agree and would have loved to spend additional time on Marcus's role in the story, as well as fleshing out Junia's relationships to others in the town. If I were to redo the story of Alloys Over Flowers outside of NaNoRenO's 30-day time constraint, those would be some of the top priority improvements on my list.
I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed Alloys Over Flowers -- thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts on the game! <3
