Great entry for O2A2! I really enjoy the art direction of this VN. The character design instantly caught my attention for being unique and having the old-school sci-fi vibe; like something you would find on the cover on a classic novel. It's nice how she strikes a good balance between humanoid and alien.

I'm amazed with how cinematic the game looks which leads to a VN that is very beautiful to look at. You use that one character sprite in so many creative ways including plot twists I did not see coming. 

The actual story with the writing style and plot events are pleasant and on-point to the sci-fi genre. The speech patterns of the characters are extremely effective with the short sentences, because it allows so many events to fit in the game. It hardly feels like it is made up from a less than 1000 words script. There are many branches and endings, so it's also a bit of like solving a puzzle to see the results from your choices. Just clicking on options to see special flavour text is fun. The fried dough answer in particular is welcoming humour I did not expect.

Thank you for this kind and detailed feedback! I’m so thrilled that you enjoyed it – I admit I gave a lot of thought to the look and style of the game the week beforehand, and once I worked out how to pan the camera I was very excited to try some reveals. With the plot, I was sort of working with tropes rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, but I’m happy it worked for you & hopefully the humour didn’t feel too out of place. In the planning, I honestly thought this would be a lighthearted story, but once I got writing it and had to cut stuff out, it ended up much more melancholic.

If I do expand this, and I really intend to, maybe some of that will go back in and it’ll end up quite a different story… 😅

Anyway, thank you again for this comment and also your entry, let’s keep bringing sci-fi flavour to the jams!
