God damn that was incredible. I came into this VN not expecting too much considering it is your first, but damn it blew me away. I really enjoyed how the story was told from the Zion's more innocent point of view contrasting the events of Andre's life. This VN really hit home for me and paralleled much of my life and I will admit it made me cry at times. This was a beautifully written story and I am excited to see what you create next! I also have to say the art direction was gorgeous and THE HAIR OUGH THE HAIR all the styles and everything about the hair. Fabulous job!

Firstly this VN is exceptional, props to the people who made this all come together. I eagerly await future updates!
Small spoilers ahead!
I want to say that the writing is phenomenal, it portrays the world with such a nice depth that not only sets up for future events but events in the story but creates a liveliness that exists outside the context of the main characters and plot. Speaking of the characters I think all of them are extremely well written and and I am very excited to learn more about them and their pasts. Another thing I've really enjoyed about the narrative is how present Rael's past is, it's very refreshing to see a main character in a vn that has a context/history/past (sorry I wasn't sure how to word it) outside of the actions of the present. So far I have absolutely loved the cast of characters and each of their unique perspectives and personalities. So far I'd have to say my favorites are Obaa with her charming snark, and Zuberi with his genuine kindness and passion (and maybe I have a thing for dad bods but that's besides the point). Mizz and Sam are close behind and I can tell the others will grow on me with time especially Caleia, at first I was kinda iffy but after the group talk and her calling me a good boy (I literally walk away from my computer for a second because I was flabbergasted) I think I'm really gonna enjoy her character. So far I am absolutely loving it 10/10, but maybe that's just because this appeals to my favorite brand of Sci-fi nerd shit.
I must say the art for this project is top notch, with a beautiful sprites that have a handful of great animated expressions for each character (I like the laughing ones the most, Sam bent over like that had me chuckling) and a multitude of excellent backgrounds (like 3 bg's just for Mizz's hangout was kinda wild and I loved it) this has got to be one of the best art directions I have seen in a vn in a while.
The stat system seems very very interesting and while I haven't run into any major decisions impacted by it yet (I think, but there's a possibility it impacted something without my knowledge) I am extremely excited to see how it affects the story.
So far I have only done the hangout scene with Mizz, and I took the Space, Dreamer, and Inventor options at the start, but I am definitely gonna go back and play through the hangouts with some other characters.
I can feel the love that has been put into this project, thank you for sharing it with us! And I am hyped for more lore on cool sci-fi shit!
This is an incredible VN. The writing is top notch and the sprites and CGs are some of the best I have seen. The concept is extremely interesting and I am very excited to see where it goes. All of the characters are very well written and each have a depth of character and emotion outside of what is explicitly told to the reader that I really appreciate. Overall this VN is incredibly good and I cant wait to see where it goes. 10/10 definitely in my top 5 VNs!
So far this is an standout game compared to many of the newer VNs. It has a very interesting concept and immaculate world building setting up for what I can only imagine is a beautiful story. The writing is fantastic and I really enjoy all the character designs and cgs we've seen so far.
SPOLIER FOR BUILD ONE END
I really like how the hook to the story was done, it introduced multiple points of conflict that make the story feel less linear and more like an inter connected world. The seemingly malfunctioning drone that appeared to control itself and the mysterious injured person leave me with many questions I can't wait to get answers to. Over all I really enjoyed the first build and I can tell the love and effort that has gone into this project!
Amazing first build I can't wait to see more!!!
There is only one word I can think of to describe this project, beautiful. The characters you've made, the world you've built, and the story you've forged, all of it is beautiful. I can without a doubt say this is my favorite visual novel/book I have every read.
Thank you so much for sharing your creation and I am beyond exited for book 2.
When you look at the downloads there is a little image showing witch platform it is supposed to be downloaded on, thats a platform tag and since I use the itch.io app I can't download the game without one. It looks like you have the tags on every other download option so maybe try what you did to put those there. Once again I am so sorry to be a bother.
