This was such a great novel too! The way the conversation flowed between the characters actually seemed real and there was so much personality! The art was really nice and the way things were ramped up; like the ending as well as the raincoat was well done!

Only thing that I would say that wasn't as well inclined towards would be the fact that the rain was the reason why everything was happening as well as how this all started; having some sort of backstory or reason for the rain to behave the way it does would give everything a good foundation and solidify the story more, and also the realisation of the rain being the big bad seemed really sudden and I felt like there wasn't much lead up to that except the few words at the start of the story (That might just be me though.) The plot hole for this is where Misty is indoors when she becomes zombielike whereas the rest of the gang had to go outside for that to happen to them.

But the rest of the game was made really well! The puzzle wasn't too complicated and it was pretty challenging but just easy enough to figure out; the stars being on the barrel and the 'Time Machine' written on the lock do push the players to keep an eye and and explore around at the start of the game, which I think is is a really cool! 

The references and connections were pretty nice and so was the story about the smelly suit that eventually payed off at the end!

Overall it was a beautiful novel and a great story and it was really fun to play! From the version of the game file, I'm assuming that this is just the 0.2th version, so hope there's more because your stories really are compelling and you do a really good job at creating an environment and ramping up the creepy factor and doing payoffs in stories! Good luck for future updates and games and do take care

Thanks again for a great review and for sharing your play through. Looking forward to watching it.

Fair call on your thoughts regarding the water. Personally, I like my 'big bads' being mysterious and under-explained. I like when stories only give minimal information and leave the rest to the imagination. But it is possible this was UNDER under explained. So I definitely can't say you're wrong.

I will however, respond to "The plot hole for this is where Misty is indoors when she becomes zombielike whereas the rest of the gang had to go outside for that to happen to them", and point out that the roof was leaking in Misty's room which was the source of her exposure.

As for this game, I am essentially considering it 'done'. I'm intending to add some more extras like a gallery etc to polish it up as a package. But the visual novel itself it complete in my eyes. I'm intending to work on a Waterborne 2 at some stage and continue theme but not necessarily the characters. But that's all way down the track.

Anyways, thanks again for you playing and the time taken to do what you've done. It's very much appreciated!

Oh, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot the bucket of water! That was a nice small hint to what happened to Misty now that I remember it! And can't wait for the next game and what you have in store; good luck and hope developing it goes smoothly!
