I enjoyed it well more than I expected at first. The story is so good it dragged me straight in needing to find out what's next. Sound's good too. One thing you could add is to assign keyboard key where you can skip the animation of letters appearing. At the moment when trying to do this, it skips the entire sentence but I just wanted not to wait to see the whole text. Regardless, the story makes up for it. Thanks for such awesome submission.

the character designs are awesome but it feels a bit weird how the characters are constantly blinking. also it would be nice if you could click anywhere on the screen to progress, not just the text box. the story  was a bit vague tbh, but the music was kinda fire tho

Thanks for checking it out and Iโ€™m glad you liked the music! :-D

There are a lot of features in this game.
Especially the UI and art are quite complex and lift this game a lot.

Unfortunately the story and sound kinda fall in comparison with the other elements of the game.
The story is very repetitive and there are a few weird slides that can/should be removed.
For example the one slide that has only a word on it "leaves" (after the character said he was leaving...)

It did started to feel like a cartoon towards the end which I actually found enjoyable.

The ending does a really good job at bringing the story together.

Good job and good luck!

cool game, although it did lack some spell checks (having "," when it should have ended sentences and capitalization) but overall cool story!

Good Job! :)

Nice story, what suprised me is the amount of settings that can aid for your experience! I even took time to choose dialog colors for each character, that's pretty neat!

thanks so much! Iโ€™m happy you found the options useful! :)
