I gotta have to ask now, ever since the update in April my game seems to be broken, as in it doesn't save any daily progress. Heck each time I wake up from a game over I have to reintroduce myself to Grisu again and again. I've even tried to completey uninstall the game and reinstall it, didn't work unless the game saves some data somewhere else. Is that a known problem, or somehow intended in some way and I just haven't figured out how to progress now?

So I have 2(3) Problems with this "game", something I suspect it doesn't want to be. So I'm first going to list my problems and then go a little in depth about them.
1. It's boring 2. It doesn't tell you what it wants from you (3). It's rather linear
1. So by boring I mean that it is basically a book with pictures (yeah I know that's basically what a visual novel is) and it is kind of my fault, I kind of expected a story where every few textboxes I could choose from like all the other VNs I played so far. Now this is obviously not what this wants to be, but I just ask for a little bit choice how my character reacts and so on, it doesn't have to be changing the outcome of the story.
2. About that choice of how my character reacts, I also kind of started off whith the notion that I am the main character of the story, not that I should pretend to be a certain character and I think the game does telling you that poorly, maybe start off with a simple exposition of who my character that I am playing is, because I am playing a character designed by the writer not by me. I might also have this problem because I have a hard time to pretend to be someone else who I am not and it's made especially hard when the game kind of starts of with the illusion that you can choose who you want to be.
(3). Well as the creator already stated in other comments it might become a story with branching paths, but even if it doesn't I will still try to give this story a chance. It's just that I absolutely enjoy playing those branching VNs because I love finding all those different endings and what you have to do to get them.
Summary: It's a nice start, could be improved and I really love the story and the character of Valos and the hint as to who he actually most likely is (maybe I'm completely wrong on that one, but oh well) and am looking forward for more of this story.
Nice little game, just some small information: 1. Where the hecks the 5th snowman, I just can't find it. 2. When you land on the platform of the shrinkray again it tries to open dialog, but there is none and Enter doesn't do anything, only if the shrink ray hasn't been used yet and is in reach does using it fix the softlock. 3. You can complete the game without needing to use the shrink ray, would be interessting if this got its own dialogue :P
