The story is brief which is GOOD because it doesn't have a lot of pointless details (i.e. lots of gameplay you have to repeat in order to get different endings, scenes solely included to show character traits that are repetitive or disrupt the flow). However, the briefness is also bad because aspects of the plot and the characters aren't explained--they just are.
For example, the characters' motivations are just briefly stated and not totally explained. Arguably this is: 1. more realistic (IRL people don't explain the deep inner reasons for their actions), 2. again, a way to avoid pointless detail (yeah, there could be a more detailed backstory behind what happened, but there doesn't have to be one just for the sake of it. If it can be summed up faster without losing much effect, then that's arguably more efficient.) 3. what happens in stories with much explanation anyways (even if you dedicate a long section for backstory for a character, it often is just a series of facts or a summary of the relevant parts anyway. So arguably, that long explanation is not actually too different from a briefer summary).
Good game. The artstyle is beautiful, the puzzles were fun and the story was interesting (would have liked some elements to be expanded on but it was still great). Got all of the main endings but couldn't figure out how to get the third minor ending. Really good experience overall, glad I gave it a try.
This was a fun little game! I liked the puzzles. There were some confusing bits, but I did manage to get all six endings after a while. Thank you for making it!

Hello! You have my permission :)
Just link back to my game page please (and let me know if you're done, I'd like to support your translation!)
I'm still confused of what happened between Newton and Paige 2 years ago.. but the story was interesting and the minigames is fun and simple :)
One more thing I am confused about, how to get Bad End 3?
This was super fun to play! Just one quick question, Is Desaturated ending one of the minor endings? Just want to make sure I got them all ^^
Hi! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Yes, the Desaturated end is one of the minor ones.
Awesome, thank you so much!
