This is a nice, peaceful read that I need after reading some scary suspenseful entries. The story was well writen, the light VN transition was nicely done. I feel like the choice of using silhouette and patterned sprite suited better with the narrative than actual drawn sprites with visible face. It added a mysterious, dream-like atmosphere which is nice.
Thank you for reading! I agree, the silhouettes and patterned sprites were initially placeholders, but I grew to like it and would keep the aesthetics for the full game (though I would have them properly designed and drawn by then).
An amazing VN, I love the stylistic choices made for the way characters are represented, the story really gets ya. Animations are very smooth and gives the game great charm!
Wow, this was incredibly written! The visuals are also amazing (my favorite effect is the skyline moving past the open window), though I had some trouble with the pink and red text on the often pinkish or reddish backgrounds (or the yellowish text on the sepia background). The white text in the backlog against the red was also sometimes difficult as well. Both characters are fantastic. They have great chemistry and some really good moments (VERY MINOR SPOILER: like Yuki slowly rising into view when Yuu tries to ignore her and go hide in the apartment or talking about the dog), and the ending is so touching. I'm excited to play some more of your works and see the finished game!
Yeah, I’m still struggling with color balance so hopefully next time I’ll have figured it out. Sorry for the eyestrain and thank you for pulling it through!
I’m glad you like the moments. I had to cut a lot of things for Spooktober scope knife chop chop so I’m happy folks don’t find it too jarring after all.
