Fantastic story! I've fallen in love with each and every character, they're all so well written. The setting is really interesting and though out. Made me cry a lot... I'll be thinking about this for a long time.
I shared this on the Discord, but we'll be going on hiatus for a few months at least. I'm falling a bit behind on my Uni exams, and I have to prioritize those over the project. We'll still be working on new content, but not as quickly as I'd like. The Patreon's currently paused as well.
Not gonna lie, love this story. I loved it so much that I based the design and name of one of my ocs off of it, then realized how similar it was and changed the design and name. BUT THE CORE IS STILL THERE BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD THIS IS.
Honestly this is one of the best novels I've read. Even tho this novel has some fantasy elements it steel feels realistic and believable, emotional and gripping. Isaac is very relatable, the pain he feels hits so close to home and honestly I cried a little while reading... Also the characters are, something else, I've never seen such clever 4D chess mind games, they confuse not only Isaac, but me as well. The art and music is very charming and beautiful too.
Wish I could volunteer for synth testing program as well ngl...
I just tried out the game, by curiosity, but I ended up almost playing through all chapters in one session. (Of course, I didn't just speedrun the game...)
I didn't get to play it until now, probably scared off by the heavy topics warning, and having a lot on my mind lately.
However, I think this heavy topics warning is kind of insignifiant in the game. I'm not saying the warning isn't needed through...
I honestly got flabbergasted by this VN, in more ways than I can probably figure out. Sure, there isn't any paths/choices in it, compared to every other VN I played. But seriously... The ambiance, the backgrounds, the music, the characters...
WARNING Spoilers ahead
Most importantly: The combat scenes !!! They're just so unique and epic.
I love every details of this VN and can't wait for the next chapter !
I liked this game, and now I've got toasters on the brain. Thanks for making what you have, and I'll be keeping an eye on this for future content!
Spoiler-y, so gonna pad some space here. Play the game first, nerd.
I take the Newton's Flaming Laser Sword approach when it comes to abstracts like yuumanity, but I still enjoyed the back and forth between the characters in the story about trying to break down what it is and all the new things I learned about them as the story went on! Great job with that.
The concept of after-story content was something I never considered! It's a great idea! I enjoyed the little side things in there almost more than I did with our toasty friend.
... Now, if I were a toaster told not to make a scene that one time, I think I'd take the nearest willing pink and purple participant, have them spread their arms out on each side, and give them a piggyback ride while making airplane noises all over the aisles. Consequences be darned.
Does the Ren’Py embedded in the PC build is same as Ren’Py embedded in the Android APK file? Since I can’t load my saves from Android to PC, it throws an error about module not found, assuming the APK file uses old version of Ren’Py that has the module while the PC does not have the module because of the new Ren’Py version.
Honestly, I've no idea! It might be the case, I have a friend compile the android builds for me and our Renpy versions might not coincide. If you're having trouble loading old saves, try using the Chapter Select feature! Just start a new game, answer "no" to the prompt, then resume browsing from whichever chapter you left off at. ^w^

Minor spoiler warning
*Isaac's dad's name is revealed to be Abraham Asimov, which in turn reveals Isaac's full name to be Isaac Asimov*
My reaction: "A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one"
meme reactions aside, in hindsight though, I feel like I should've seen it coming.
This game is in my top 10 best games (if you can even call it a game lol).

5/5 crunchy and good with butter
i have never played such an emotionally gripping visual novel since maybe adastra. would recommend but be warned for an existential crisis
Agreed
cant wait for the next bit
Hello, Sedge, how come I can't access the discord channel for NMF anymore?
what kind of yumuan was issac pre transiton?
It was never specified, I think the author has said a while ago that they wanted to keep it ambiguous
oh, alright, thank you!
This was wayyyyy worth the wait everything from the story to the ending is awesome and kind of mind blowing.
Props to the no more future team

Oh, I didn’t know that until now. Thanks.

Does Isaac have borderline personality disorder? 🤔 Coz I see more of myself in him with each update 😅
