this was great! i really loved reading and learning how much of a little freak this woman is! i feel like there's so much to read into with her. for example, how fixated hirosuke is on her highschool self, or her fantasies of roro-chan's purity despite being hurt by her. self-loathing just permeates every part of her thoughts. i want to study her like a bug.

i also really liked how it was evident hirosuke reads into everything roroko does, no matter how small, because it's the only thing she can latch onto as a complete stranger. on a sidenote, i was also just eyeing kasumi EXTREMELY worried for her in the entire work.

the presentation was also stellar! there's a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere over everything that i love in denpa works! ^^

also shindol reference lmao

kind of a half-formed ramble but god, seeing urara's true nature unfold with satsuki enabling (or maybe its more accurate to say revealing?) her worst thoughts felt so suffocating. it really felt like satsuki's 'solution' to pascal's wager was haunting over urara the entire game and that urara was unable to understand or come to terms with that line of thinking despite (or maybe because of) having a strange worship/hate relationship with her. 

TnS/subahibi references were also very fun. haven't read kierkegaard's either/or, so i cant say anything on that front. but in a way, i can see how TnS/subahibi's philosophy may have influenced the 'pascal's wager doesn't matter' philosophy satsuki has. the surreal denpa presentation coupled with the way she explains it makes a really disquieting atmosphere, like being pushed out into open space without any tether.

i enjoyed this a lot! ^^

thanks for reading! writing the two different sections felt very different, with the first half sort of trying to meditate between two different perspectives of ai, and the latter half sort of just being a stream of consciousness ramble. also yes, polyco is cute =w=

thanks for reading! the work definitely didn't start at as a horror piece but i think just... somehow ended up becoming one while i was writing, so i ended up trying to lean into that more ^^;

i was very happy to work with dumbslime, as she *really* specialises in that old 2000s anime aesthetic both in terms of art and character design!

thank you so much for reading!! ^^ it was very fun working with slime and i was honored that she was willing to contribute her art! >:3

the contrast between polyco and klei was sort of reflective of my own conflicted feelings with my affinity to robot/robot-adjacent characters in media and the reality of how i would actually be skeptical of an intelligent ai. it was interesting trying to reason between those two aspects and im glad it made for an interesting read!

thank you for reading! tbh i feel like i kind of jumpscared people by advertising the game with 2000s visuals and having it be about current trends in ai lol. im also very glad you enjoyed the second act! it was the most fun section to write! >:3

thanks for reading! im glad that the discussion in the first act wasn't too boring and complimented the visuals well

thank you for reading! im happy that it holds up as a scifi work as i'm someone who's read a lot of classic scifi, but admittedly not a lot of of contemporary scifi! scripting was by far what i spent most of my time doing too, so i'm glad the detail in that is apparent too ^^

this was a very cute read!

i've always been fascinated by the various ways scientists personally relate to their specific research interests, especially when they're interested in more microscopic aspects. 

at that scale, it very much feels like there has to be a strong love of the process.

god, this vn really hit me with this sense of finding a subculture where you feel most at home with but still feeling misunderstood and isolated anyway. at times comfy, at times lonely, at times overwhelming. i think i'll need to sit with this one for a bit

citron my beloved

this is SO cute... i love the way how nazrin's normal outfit is stylised, kinda reminds me of a magical girl outfit! the other outfits/references are really adorable too! i especially like the inclusion of ME-tan's outfit :3

aaaaaa!! thank you for your kind words!! i was a little worried that the focus on the details of the setting was going to be boring, but i'm glad that wasn't the case.

while most definitely not a one-to-one, april is a character i put a lot of myself into, so im glad she resonated with you! ^u^

thank you! i do have some plans to continue with this project, although it'll likely be a while before anything comes of that.

thank you so much! glad you enjoyed it ^-^
