Good game! I enjoyed the story and especially the ending. Well done for writing such a detailed mystery story in just three days!

Not a fan of visual novels, but I suppose it was alright and it fit game jam theme. Good job.

Lost&NeverfoundThe story starts a little rough, but it gets better gradually as it unfolds.
I read the entire thing, really enjoyed the ending. What the story lacks is more detailed backstory for all the characters, but it's still very decent for one written in 72 hours

Harrison Temple: ConstructionThank you so much, I really appreciate it, I was the sole writer so i only spend the 1st and 2nd day writing as day 3 and 4 I had to be directing everyone.
I do agree with you, the start is a tiny bit rough, especially some early typos that might throw off a new player, but after you read the same thing so many times after making so many changes your eyes start playing tricks on you and reading what's supposed to be there you know?
As for a more detailed backstory, if there is demand for it I will make anther version of the game and fix all the issues i find while adding some more context, we'll see.
I don't have that much time to go through the entire thing, but the story seems interesting, I might come back and revisit it in the future!

Whispers of Forgotten TonguesThe story, conversations and characters didn't quite click for me, but then again VN's are often hit-or-miss depending on the reader. I'm certain there's groups and audiences out there who can appreciate this work, so please continue writing and sharing!

Better Left LostCongrats on getting the vn up and finished in such a short amount of time!
I can tell you had an epic idea in mind, but with very surface-level interactions with the villagers and writing that feels more like a quick draft than a finished piece (with typos and long hard-to-read sentences, trails of thoughts that were hard to follow), the story didn't have as much impact on me as it could have.
The end section, where you have to keep picking the right theory about what's happening out of the two given, was very confusing, as most of the time both of the theories seemed to fit well. I had to just guess my way through it.
Hope you'll continue making visual novels, and will expand on your stories more so the endings are as impactful as you mean them to be!
Also big shame this game isn't about Neuro-sama, I think it might have actually fit well if the main girl was Neuro and the scientist was Vedal.

I will ruin my sister's whole careerI already work with someone else as a team to make VN's but thank you, I know i had some typos but i really did not have time to fix them, i did all the writing, directing and programming myself with a friend doing graphics and someone i met along the way doing most sound too, it was incredibly hectic and extremely tight on timing, i struggled a lot getting someone to proofred and when i did it was already too late and on top of the deadline.
The ending section is meant to be semi-challanging, just like every game has levels a mystery visual novel gets harder as you play too, the initial idea for the game had different endings depending what path you took but i did not have the time to implement that by a long shot, though its partially scripted and i can do it in the future.
As for the project being around neuro, i honestly did not expect people to make so many neuro games, i think people gravitated towards that cuz of vedal himself making a neuro game...
Either way i am thankful you played it and i hope you enjoyed it even if you did struggle at the final logic puzzle!
I haven't read through the entire vn yet since I'm going through multiple games, but as of now I'm really enjoying the story you have. I'm liking the setup of the story, and I can clearly see how the story ties in to the theme of lost and found.
