wow this was SOOOOO BAD like the BADDEST WORST GAME ever!!!

That trailer is so GOOD. The angst... yes... give me more angst... Aha ha ha ha (ominously) 

Woah, a reply?! I see, thank you so much for the insight, it is really interesting to know the process behind things, and I’d like to apologize for the small discourse I caused. Like many others I’ve been following you on social media and will 100% continue to support. And there’s no need to apologize at all, that misunderstanding is all my (and AI’s) fault, I really value your work, and I look forward to seeing more in the future! 

I totally understand how you feel, and I feel really guilty at the possibility of my criticism putting down the creator, which was not my intention, and I’m really sorry T-T

You’re right, these writing techniques all originated from humans. But it can become formulaic when these techniques are applied repeatedly in very close succession, and AI does not write exactly like a human, because it overuses these patterns, and because each person has their own writing style. 

Anyway, your criticism is valid. I want to say though, that I’m absolutely not trying to place blame or accuse the writer, as the other comment said, I have no concrete proof. I’ll rephrase my comment to sound less accusatory.   

I’m sorry. My intentions were never to harass at all, like my comment said, and I revised it to sound less like I did, and I no longer insist that they change their writing. 

While you are right that artificial algorithms learned from us, it’s still helpful to read human material in general, because each author has their own writing style, which you don’t see in generated content (usually AI has only one particular prose which is very easy to spot)

Really awesome game! Great art, story, and interesting concepts. The mini-games were especially fun. My only critique is that the writing sounds (not saying it is) a bit algorithmic.

I’m not accusing you of using AI. Especially because it says “No AI” in the tags. It’s absolutely everywhere, and it can be easy to subconsciously pick up the way it words things, it copies the way that we write, so you are really not to blame. 

There’s been some places where the writing seems a little formulaic to me. Lots of similes, rules of 3, and phrases like “too ___.” Or “Not ___. Just ____.” While these techniques aren’t bad by themselves, they’re very commonly used by generated algorithms. When used repeatedly and put next to each other in close succession, it can seem jarring. Especially when I read “The lamp beside the door casts a soft glow across the room — warm, comforting, familiar.”

This was just meant to be constructive criticism, and you of course do not have to follow it, and I really did enjoy the game, you did an amazing job!

I’m really enjoying this so far, I love the amount of detail this game has :D 

wow, this was really beautiful :o

where the HECK is everybody?! (Edit: Ah wait this game is 2 days old that’s why. I’m dumb LOL) 

I don’t even ship this, but I’ll be sure to give it a try! The art looks so good!! 

this is a really great image 

ahh okay, thank you! I haven’t played it yet, so at first glance they seemed similar.

Ooh, is this game inspired by John Doe?

OMG. You have no idea how excited I am to play this… I’m so glad that it’s finally here EEEEE

omg I'm so excited right now I'm just gonna explode or something into a bunch of confetti EEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

been here since the release of MISSING. One of my first visual novels, got me into them :)

yep. Here’s a windows version:

not sure if the creator said that they don’t want the old one to be shared, please let me know if I shouldn’t be sharing it and I’ll take it down. 

AAGHHH noo I lost my copy of AFTER CLASS. PERMANENTLY :((( Do you ever plan on reuploading it? :')...

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THESE GUYS >O<!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

interesting!

OMG??! Sounds awesome!!

[[spoilers]]?

I'm pretty sure his name is Luma because when you can't recall your name, he says "Ah, so you lost ya name, why don't I give you mine?" before changing it to "Why don't I give ya one"

SCREAMS

ITS HERE!! 💗

Oh, alright! I'll just copy & paste what they said: "Hey, Gnome here! Don't worry, the game is not going to be deleted or stop in development! I am very much still working on it, but I have seen growing issues on the web browser not being playable, even if the download link is corrupted as it seems. Not to mention, I am updating the story too! I apologize for these issues, and I hope me and my coder can polish this project more."

So while the game isn't here now, it'll probably be reuploaded later!

Omg this is absolutely adorable and I'm super psyched for this to come out! And I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that stress/burnout... 😞 writer's block is the worst. But either way I'm really glad that you're now working on a project you sincerely enjoy and I'm all for it! You deserve it ;D! Gj, gl!

I just love his new design and can’t wait to see the full version, I’m sure it’ll be awesome :)

For people who are confused about the download link, just check their recent post! (under Development log)
