  • I can see some real potential here for a nice visual novel/dating sim. The art is already appealing from the get-go and the UI is also well done. I like the story's premise a lot too. I can't give too much feedback without seeing more, but I think it certainly has the visual aspect done well. Ren.Py can be confusing to pick up, but it does make good visual novels once you get a hang of it (which you were clearly getting by the end). I hope some of you continue to work together on this just to make a short, compelling piece at least. I can see this being quite fun!

Very cool UI interface with the cellphone. Wish y'all got farther as I like visual novels, but looks promising!

I like the concept but the game seemed to get stuck in a loop. After returning to the bedroom scene when i try to advance the story it just pulls up the previous "going to bed" message on the phone. then returns to the bedroom scene. ive tried clicking around the room but nothing changed. I like a visual novel so if im missing something please let me know so i can give it another go.

Same issue here- UI and the phone interface look amazing though! Really did a great job customizing!

Hi Osaka! Thanks for checking it out and even leaving a review~

Unfortunately, our team was not able to accomplish much with our entry and what you see is all we managed!
With trying to write a long interesting narrative, working with Renpy for the first time, and trying to learn new skills, we ended up biting off more than we could properly chew in a week!

But we didn't want to leave with nothing! so good or bad, we wanted to post our efforts as a lesson for the future!

We do plan on finishing the game outside of the Game Jam! But it will take us some time.

Your entry is super cool though! So I plan on writing a review soon!

Best,

N
