SO GOOD! The art style and atmosphere was amazing-- there was plenty of CG and character sprites here, and it really gave both characters so much expressiveness and made them come alive. Even in the shorter runtime of the VN, the characterization shined. Vi's internal struggle and that sense of hypocrisy that kept creeping up on Lydia's part were captured so very well. The framing of how to -reach- the true ending was just so well considered too.
I could tell that a lot of heart was put into this by you guys-- reading the afterword vindicated that and it was lovely to hear dev-sided thoughts in regards to the game and the characters.
