Just played through all of the endings in one go, so you can see just how fast I got into this game... T-T
I was so excited to see that you had uploaded a new game, and as with Sweetest Valentine, you did not disappoint! The artwork, the story, and the characters were all great, and I absolutely love the twist on the groundhog day loop premise!
(MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!)
It actually shocked me to find out that the key to breaking out of the 'loop' was to let go of her, since stuff like Kagerou Daze (nice shout-out btw!) gave me the impression that the true ending would involve sacrificing your life to let Amerta live. But of course since we later find out that there has never been a time loop in the first place, going back to the other three bad endings just makes them harsher in hindsight...
And the true ending was so heartwarming that I nearly cried when I saw that the main menu had changed! It was such a sweet, satisfying conclusion to such a depressing premise, and I'm glad that ultimately, Rendra and Kai are able to come to terms with Amerta's death and move on with their lives.
I can definitely relate to the burnout you experienced all throughout making this VN. It can feel almost impossible to continue on at times, especially when you're uninspired/stressed out from life. But I also think that you've shown a lot of progress! I really liked the implementation of the CG gallery and the changing main menu screen. Aside from that, your art has definitely become a lot more polished!
Anyway, sorry for the blocks and blocks of text, but I love making long comments for games that I really enjoyed.
I hope that you're able to get lots of rest after all of your hard work. You've more than earned it!
