Don't worry about the wall of text, I'm always guilty of writing walls of text myself xD hehe
Your comedy writing was great!! I especially loved the scenes where Niard was present and tried to trick Nine into giving them a compliment xDDD. Nine was hilarious too when they complained about certain phone calls and made fed up faces lol. Still, if you're ever up for a collab (please tell me if I'm being too overfamiliar sgkbdksb, don't want to make you uncomfortable), I'd love to help! Writing dialogue is my favorite thing in the world when it comes to writing and many times it's stupid jokes lmao. I really admire the way you write mystery and horror cause' it's something I'd love to explore more myself (especially mystery, which is my favorite genre ever).
Oh!!! A Valentine's DLC?? That sounds great, if you ever end up doing it it's gonna be a blast!! I wonder if it's weird that I want to date Kiol because, well... them being the way they are in the story lol.
As for the freezes, I do remember the screen loading a lot, like you mentioned, when Nine first enters the office and Nyari says her first line. I think the game freezed on me when I kept saving and loading too much and also because I spammed the skip button xD so that probably made my PC tell me to yametekudastop and the game would crash. I also noticed that when you skip, many of the voices keep being listened; I wonder if that has to do with Unity itself? Cause' when I play voiced VNs that are made in Renpy I don't think the voices are heard. So maybe it's a Unity thing? If I can think of anything else I remember, I'll be sure to tell you! :3
The easter egg was great! Maybe, if you end up doing a DLC for this game, you can expand upon the easter egg there! And I feel you, jams are always such a busy time and sadly you never get around to do everything you had in mind, but they're always an amazing journey and great way to earn more experience and learn!
For Kiol, I chose the male voice option! All the voices were great but gosh I'm such a sucker for male voices in possible romantic options (〃ﾟдﾟ〃) uwaaa
Aww, don't sell yourself short, your writing is really good and I'm sure it'll get even better!! I understand about having low confidence, though, I struggle with that myself sometimes and it's not a pleasant feeling but when you ever feel like that, remember trying not to compare yourself with others but with your past self and seeing how much you've improved! We sometimes feel like there's this giant staircase that we've got to climb but forget to look back at the huge number of steps we've already climbed. I don't know if my words are any help but I at least want you to know that I'm a big fan of your writing and that you're not alone in feeling low-confidence *hugs*
As for my games, thank you so much!! I'd love it if you ever get a chance to play one of them and tell me your thoughts but, by all means, don't feel pressured to do so! Hehe, I'm happy to know you're especially interested in The Dream Drinker! That's my latest game and my first time ever writing something "horror-like"; the idea was first born as a short story but then got turned into a game. Panacea does have a bit of a mysterious vibe as well but I want to re-do that game from scratch and turn it into a visual novel cause' I feel I didn't do my story justice in RPG Maker, even if it's a demo >.< (plus that engine is harder than it looks T__T).
It really shows that you and your team gave it your all with this game. It's also really nice to know you had each others' back and that you cheered each other on! <3
Oh boy, I wrote a giant wall of text myself xD I'm sorry for the rambling. Thank you so much for taking your time to reply to my comments (both here and on the walkthrough guide post) and for sharing your games with us players!! :D
