I'm so hyped for Vladimir, if by the end of this something happens to them I will be sad. NO VLADIMIR I ONLY WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH YOU. No but jokes aside, very fun, I love the aesthetics here, fully committing to the retro look is always respectable. Really fun with some twists even, and actually a lot of things here for the time limit, so great job!

I wish i could give more stars for sound design... but there is none :(
But except this, game is quite cool, and is polished and finished, so that's a huge plus. Also laughed a lot at some funny sentences, the writing is great! ;D

Chase The AnomalyNoooo, why Vladimir?!!?
But for real, the game is great - story and aesthetics especially. Only thing i would nitpick is no sounds - it would be great if there was even a little bit of sound (even a little bit of music).
Either way. a great game (and so trueee)! ^^

Chase The AnomalySorry... If that makes you feel any better, there's multiple endings where Vladimir is okay? ^^
I totally agree about the sounds and I actually am saving up to hire a musician once the game is over. Truth is, I wanted a very specific kind of vibe that would fit with the old macintosh aesthetic, and the 8bit songs I found leaned too much fantasy for the setting. I should have teamed up with a musician from the get go but I didn't expect I'd be so picky about it. ^^'
Really well written and fantastic visuals, amazing work! I'm glad theres a save system as it allowed to me to find all 5 of the endings.

Angels Have No EyesWow, I thoroughly enjoyed following this game from start to jam submission! Really took the theme and made it awesome, when I saw the aesthetic and in progress shots I already wanted to play this game immediately! Sometimes people forget that VNs are stories at the end of the day, and I really really enjoyed the writing. It was clever and immersive, extremely relatable and still managed to surprise me! Thanks so much, develop it into a full story please!! And if you want extra art, I'd love to join. I rather be a vampire office worker than an office worker.

MIDNIGHT MUNCHThank you so much for playing my game! The aesthetic was strongly inspired by the Ren'py Hypercard Framework that I used (my first computer was a macintosh performa, so that was very nostalgic). I wish I had more time to do proper pixel art for the sprites and the backgrounds, but I had to cut a couple of corners for time's sake!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my writing, as english isn't my mother tongue I get a little self conscious about it at times XD
I don't know if I'll work on this specific game again for a while (I still haven't finished my detective story VN and I have a fairytale inspired one in the works)... But I might hit you up if I do, solo projects are a lot of work lmao.
Thank you again :3c
