What a lovely piece of work! I enjoyed following the story through the letters and swiping back and forth to see reactions as I went. The ending was such a great deviation from the expected structure. I was also surprised at how much interesting worldbuilding came through as I read!

Thank you! I always feel like I struggle with worldbuilding, so having two academics rambling on about their field of study was a very smooth framework. Letting the characters have fun studying the world attaches emotional stakes to it, I guess?
And I'm glad that the game stuck the landing at the end! I edited a portion of an old NaNo piece for this, and though the letters continue after that moment, it really felt like the best moment to end it on. And the fact that I now had visuals meant that I had an opportunity to do something that pure prose hadn't initially allowed. ^u^ Man, I love visual novels!
