Pros:
- Multiple meaningfully different endings
- Good use of shapes for character attributes
- Nice photographs of Tokyo (????) that is interesting and varied and as far as I can tell, well shot
Cons:
- Difficult to determine other endings after a few playthroughs
Here & There:
Visual novels are something I'm not used to and consequently are TERRIFYING AND STRANGE but I felt like this was a nice introduction to the genre. I played through it and I think I found 3 different endings, but there's a screenshot on this page which shows Rectangle that I never got to see. I get lost in registering branching paths in my mind so not having some external clues as to how to see everything means I just won't see everything. I don't know if that's something visual novels do, but it could be good to implement something like that for a jam game where the players might not hold the same interest at the start as they might with a game they paid for. I liked that there was some use of the geometric shapes for the characters behaviour and personality, but I will say I would have been massively pleased to see Triangle with a cigarette in their ... face. I enjoyed the writing, it was expressive and descriptive and probably other things I don't have knowledge of for critiquing writing. The music fit well and didn't distract from the reading at all. This was cool.
