itch.io

This was a delight to read. It clicks all of the boxes of the content warnings very well, so for anyone who is looking forward to the warnings, this is a great read. The few sprites were very effective, and each CG was very purposeful in delivering the scene's message. The prose is especially strong in the more gore-y descriptions, especially considering Red as the POV character. 

The short description says everything you need to know. This is one of those reads best experienced when you know the least you can... Which makes it difficult writing a spoiler-free review, but I will try to since it was so entertaining!

The setup is wonderful, with an almost childlike wonder. It displays the chemistry between the main characters really well, they are very cute by themselves and especially when interacting together. Their designs are cute, and the CGs are just magical. You can see the girls grow closer together, and it is organic: it makes sense and they mesh well, due to their circumstances and their complementary personalities.

 Every single scene in the beginning is important in the latter parts. The VN is at its strongest when it's working in contrasts. Let the narrative take you on its adventure, it will be worth every second of your time.

I lack words to explain how much I loved this VN. River is an excellent protagonist, and the narrative is great at letting you see everything through her mind, and understand her from the inside. The story is realistic, is painful, is human. With a huge emphasis on being human. It is quite a hard hitting VN. Haunting. Great.

Presentation is the highlight of this VN, from the beautiful UI to the designs and its style. A true love letter to the magical girl genre and classic anime, you can just feel the love pouring out of each sentence. The story is also not scared of exploring darker themes, with effective disturbing scenes that make you care about its characters.

Really interesting game with a more forward "prey" and other spoiler-y stuff that is right up my alley. I liked the atmosphere, and the dynamic between the characters was the highlight of the experience. Short and sweet. Rae was my favourite, but the way Hua develops in such different ways depending on the route was great to see!

A vn with a very clear artistic direction that is realised beautifully. I enjoyed watching the characters' development, and the branching routes were interesting and immersive. There is a great deal of love put into this work: the ambiance and especially the signs are carefully crafted, and the "pointer" at the end of the phrases is animated so fluidly it was almost hypnotising to see the hands moving. 
I enjoyed my read and was left wanting to know more about the mysteries of this world.

"A VN written by a girl sick of reading straight sex scenes in peak fiction." you can really feel this through the VN. The love you feel for other famous VNs, and the frustration that it's all (mostly) painfully het, yeah, really relatable, and it was transmitted through your work really well.

The choice of bgm and sfx are really immersive. I enjoyed Jeanine's personality, being consumed by ennui is a trope often only delegated to male characters, so it's always nice to see a woman protagonist carrying the mantle for once. It's a shame it's only 1/3 of the story, but I liked what I read!

If there is one word to describe this VN, it would be gorgeous. Gorgeous backgrounds, characters, designs, clothes, CGs, UI, just everything. It's hard to believe this was made in such a short time. It start up immersive with a movie-worthy start, and wastes no time in getting you right in the middle of its world. The characters are charming, I especially love Yoeli. I loved the investigative tone of the VN, and it rewards you for thinking before choosing. Though the presentation was the highlight for me, story and especially worldbuilding are very close behind. I was left craving for more of this world, whether the story of the characters end here or not.

Wow, I can't believe Nick would do something as rude as not taking her hat off when entering someone's home

Jokes aside, that was beautiful and painful. In the beginning, especially, the way you made it easy to empathize with Nick was great, I believe we have all felt that emptiness. Makes it harder to see her fall, and everything that comes after. The sounds and bgms were very well placed, making for a very immersive game. I love the way the art is shaded.

Edit: oh god im so sorry for the version before the edit 🤦🏻‍♀️ i was sleep deprived and mixed up what i wanted to say.

Played this in a call with friends with each of us interpreting the characters and narration and I feel this is the intended experience. I say this as the highest form of praise.

Oh my this was so great!!! The UI is phenomenal, the presentation is great, so very immersive. All characters are intriguing, and I loved the art and the description. I am amazed at what you accomplished especially in just 6 weeks! It was simply beautiful. I loved the description at the end with Sphene's scene.

That was very fun! Very pleased that it worked well on mobile. I managed to get all endings, though it hurt me what I had to do to get one of them... I loved how there are so many choices to explore the world, how this seems to be just a slice of a greater story,  but this is the only one you are allowed to see. Not unlike the relationship between an immortal and their pet. 

I would love to get back to this and explore the extra choices later, what an intriguing world.
