Just played through this and it's delightfully creepy! I'm in uni so this resonates haha, I try to attend in person lectures and engage with the lecturer at least a little. They get so happy when I do :D i wonder what the truth is... was the lecturer hallucinating or is there something sinister going on. the digital data idea seems relevant, the world seems to be running data wrong

I finished this game today and wow... I love it! I don't have experience playing yandere vns since they don't appeal to me but my friend recommended this to me and I'm not disappointed. I love the use of 2nd person, and the unreliable(?) narrator with her sass and snarky remarks made this super entertaining to read. I wonder how much of the narration is the protagonist's true feelings and how much is the biases bleeding through. My favourite route so far is the gravedigger, I feel so much for her, which makes the twist so heartbreaking.
Minor spoilery detail: I love the subtle detail that all the love interests call the protag "Dear one". It's easy to gloss over but once you notice, you can put the pieces together.
The language and story progression is wonderful, the art is beautiful and suits the grim fairytale vibe really well. The music is GORGEOUS!!! I love how most of the tracks are rearrangements of the same/similar melody and motifs, which really hammers in the repetition of the cyclical storyline.
overall 8.5/10 because i felt the mermaid storyline was less developed and didn't really gel cohesively with the other two, which I thought were much stronger. the mermaid would've benefited from more depth and dialogue.
This game is honestly so cute and well written! I did the bad ending first and it was heartbreaking... poor Asher :( But then I gunned for the good ending and holy crap it was so cute I got diabetes. The texts and dialogue flowed smoothly and naturally, and I really enjoyed the video call format.
The pacing near the start was a little slow and ramped up near the end, and I wish the video call screen was bigger and the document part didnt take up as much space, BUT because of that the CGs had more of an impact so good job there! The UI design was very innovative and cohesive, i adore the pastel colour palette.
Story wise I like how in the good choices, Asher talks more about his brother and divulges more info. Asher resonated with me because I'm currently a law student who used to do film in high school (went to an arts school) and I'm more passionate about writing and media than I am about law lol, but i do like Law still.
Ryymix and Xander did a PHENOMENAL job voice acting! Very professional. When i first heard Asher speak i FOLDED instantly BAHAHAH
Overall, wonderful game at just the right length to not overstay its welcome. Enjoyed the storyline and character writing a whole lot, and looking forward to more games you may or may not be making.
I watched manlybadasshero's lets play on YouTube cos I dont have a windows computer, and I really like your game! I love how you referenced Rene Magritte's paintings in your game, it adds to the atmosphere. Your artwork is stunning, the way you interpreted the subjects in Magritte's paintings is very well done.
