ok then, thanks for the information; i appreciate it. apologies if any of my messages had come off as rude or belittling. on a serious note, thanks for the clarification

i do acknowledge that but would you be in a romantic relationship with someone you would call kuya? because given that kuya is used in the context of older brother, older man or some man in a higher rank, would you dare be in a romance with them? have you ever seen someone call their romantic partner kuya? i am filipino myself and i just find that weird. i am not against the romantic relationship between hugo and noah at all. in fact, i ship them. but that detail made me question the game a bit. sorry for the late reply

finished most of the game and holy shit, on my word this is absolute peak. the writing style is splendid, complimenting the eerie plot that carries the game throughout. it is captivating, as every conversation spoken from both ilya and the player feel real. tangible. it impressed me because a lot of visual novels/horror games don't have this sense of authenticity to their dialog, as if trying too hard. (not trying to downplay them tho) but this? i felt immersed with each description and word that had been uttered from each character. can't wait to see more from this !!

i personally enjoyed the game. i just was ticked off by the nickname noah used around hugo, which was kuya. kuya quite literally translates to older brother in filipino and knowing that noah IS pinoy, it was odd seeing it used around, despite having hints at a romantic relationship with hugo. (could possibly be a queerplatonic relationship) i was put off by it and even if the team didn't know about this, they still should've taken the initiative to rethink the decision of using said nickname. overall, the game had a really cool artstyle that frequently kept me engaged and a plot that was interesting. i just wish that the dialog was more natural if that's the word. nonetheless, hats off to the team for making this game. hopefully, we get to know more about the duo and see them in action for further events/games. :D
