I made an account just to leave a comment here...so, thank you. Thank you very much for this incredible experience.It was short, sure, but the emotions conveyed are extremely well transcribed and the excellent writing makes it all even better. Never thought I would...feel so much things with a Lesbian Visual Novel.
Really like your work,I will remember it for...for ever... thanks...
A lot of games like this seem to chicken out. For a game about lesbians this game has serious balls and actually delivers. This is the gay, introspective doomy visual novel parallel to "The Road."
There is something about representing characters with the colors purple and red. I wrote a very short story years ago titled "Magnum Opus" and I always imagined the two characters that story had to be associated with said colors. There is also a visual novel called "HOPE LEFT ME" that did that.
All three stories have the world being the "antagonist" and all three stories are about two characters that help each other survive in a way.
"HOPE LEFT ME" has a world after an apocalypse and this story's world is shortly before one. "Magnum Opus" has a world that is a sci fi theocratic fascism thingy and as I write this I realize that all three stories are sci fi.
In "HOPE LEFT ME" the red character is called "Sasha" wich is a name I sometimes use. What makes me feel weird about it (even though I know it's just pattern recognition going brrrrrrrrrr) is that in "Magnum Opus" both characters are my self inserts in a way. You see I made that story after I had a depressing thought of "What if a perfect version of me could take my place and I could just dissapear?" then twisting it in a way to make it wholesome and hopeful and stuff.
Oh also I'm trans. I feel like that piece of information is also relevant in this schizopost.
Anyways, here is "Magnum Opus"
(P) - So you're done.
(R) - You were right to think that seeing you will feel weird.
(P) - Are you embarassed?
(R) - No. This body is my... no. It's your Magnum Opus.
(P) - How do you feel?
(R) - A bit disoriented but energetic.
(P) - Do you hate me?
(R) - No. I pity you. I know that looking at me hurts.
(P) - ... Do you know what I'm planning?
(R) - I don't have your latest memories, but I have the idea.
(P) - Farewell then. You should know where I put the clothes for you, food and the machine to create your documents. You'll get the lab, the research, my personal stuff and my house. You can find credits under the fern.
(R) - You don't even ask my name?
(P) - Did you come up with a good one?
(R) - Lara.
(P) - Farewell, Lara.
(R) - Wait! I found a solution!
(P) - What solution? You know that self changeing is illegal.
(R) - We can create a copy of you, without consciousness and senses. We make it so that it looks like it killed itself and we pretend that you are a clone like me. What do you think? This way you can be Nara!
(P) - This could work...
..................................
(R) - Wakey wakey! How are you feeling?
(P) - Tired. Very tired. Is the puppet ready?
(R) - There is nothing at the moment I can't handle by myself.
(P) - Changing a body really is different from growing one, huh?
(R) - It certanly is. Feel free to get as much rest as you need. Oh, and happy birthday!
Maybe i'm just incompetence so i don't understand why people said this game was depressing. It would be nice if someone could actually recap and explain what happened in the game

I'm so fucking gay I cried
This is adorable. I like how well it conveys the intense need between two people who find themselves in a futile and hopeless situation......

So damned sad. I still can't tell if this a tragedy type story or the aftermath of a tragedy before the end, because man it got me hurting inside.
