Lmaooooo my brain really thought her name is Intro, but yeah it's not cleared.
Anyway to the more serious writing, I love the background aesthetic with the "glow" filter, and I feel there's a huge improvement of the background from the previous visual novel game you've made (?; could be a bias of me influenced by the "new" status of this game). The text are easy to read and the dialog box doesn't conflicting much with the background. The sprites are lovely. The zoomed up on father face seems a bit off, not because it's weird but because the downgrade of the father face being stretched to fit the face on the screen (?; I could be wrong since I'm not an artist; perhaps there was no downgrade of quality in the father face?).
In the end, it's lovely and I would love to see more~
Chapter 1! Well apparently as people said, there' something disturbing about Netty my besties <3 in this colleg- there's something disturbing about Netty, though I wouldn't say traumatic.
And this visual novel goes to a direction of what I would call "Dark Love". The easy to digest term would be "Dark Romance" but it doesn't really tell the whole aspect of love in this game which is either or both romantic and platonic. In video itself I refer it as "Dark Otome" since I'm trying to find a 'correct' word to refer to the style of the plot. Which I think still cannot convey anything, since Otome are related to romance, especially young girl demographic if I remember. So I come with the term you've seen before, "Dark Love".
I love it, it is something I seek of a "Dark Love" where instead of a normal love story where you'll be morally good (or bad)/caring for one or multiple partner here what you love is your own self. You just want people to love you. You don't care what method or the 'opinion' of other character as long as they all will love you.
In video I called the main character a person without heart themselves, as their heart always change like a mirror to match the person they want to capture.
I think that's all.
Also, in other note.....
THE FROG IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT IT
Chapter 2! Feels more sweet than Netty my bestie chapter, which feels more sinister. I really love how Theo expressions are explored here, I thought he'll be just a cold guy but apparently he has a cute side to him too!
Well, my final note for the game is that I notice that it seems there's a lack of sound and music. I'm okay with this, but perhaps some people will feel it's rather mundane on that part? Though it isn't too much of an issue, like it's still a good game. I mean you did a good job at controlling when to silence or to play the music which is already great!
I think that's all and I'll be waiting for the next chapters! Keep doing a great job!
Hello Arcadekitten, I've really enjoyed my time playing through the current 3 chapters so far. Favourite character: Intro! ^o^ Really loved the It's Not Me, It's My Basement reference in the game with the Doctor included at one point, thought I recognised that distinctive face somewhere! :D
Another fantastic game, your art-style is beautiful as always (I love all three designs for the protagonist) and the music is really sweet; I'm going to be humming that theme song all week. Really cute story so far, interesting idea having small separate chapters for each character rather than one long route, and there are enough hints dropped to make me very suspicious about what's happening in this school. I loved the little background details referencing other games, and I squeed so hard when Scary Mary was mentioned.
Love this, you're still one of my favourite developers and I will be keeping a close eye out for future chapters, can't wait to see how this goes.
Such a fun introduction to the story as a whole, I'm really excited and interested to see what all happens and who else we might meet! Short, sweet, but definitely leaves you curious and wanting to know more!

Nice! I enjoyed what I played and I'd like to see more. The Dad's reaction to the preferred name certainly brought back some memories lol.
Yay! I finally got to play this!

Awesome work! I love the wonderfully strange world you've created!
You are always so supportive of me and I promise that support does not go unnoticed! Thank you so much! :'D
Eu adorei! Falo português do Brasil, e adoraria ver mais capítulos do jogo! Eu amei!
