Nice writing and kudos to the art, is it hand drawn?! Looks pretty! It is the first visual novel I came across this jam. 

Developer

All the sprite art was indeed handdrawn. Glad you thought these visuals novel, and enjoyed the writing too. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for the completely unbiased review, random itch user whom I have no association with! Though for real thanks for playing.

I don´t quite understand why his friends KNEW by the end, but I LOVED the art-style ♥

Thank you! Glad everybody loves the art style.

Maybe Mick’s just a bit more clever than you imagined… Though also I might’ve been slightly too subtle with that plot point, or maybe could’ve done a bit more to explain things ‘round the end. Just didn’t find a good way to work it into the dialogue, and admittedly I put off writing the specifics of the ending until, like, the final day of the jam. There was supposed to be an alt-route too (which will be added in a post-jam version) so that may be a good place for more detailed explanation.

Thanks for playing, in any case! I’ll be sure to check your game out also.

Oh, don´t mind me please! I know you worked hard on this. Writing a script like this in 4 days max is hard. You did great ♥

Very cool artstyle!

To this Aaron, our sprite artist, said: “It will be better Vlad. Just you wait” Apparently he’s set on improving the sprites (some were literally unfinished due to time constraints) for a post-jam version. If that’s something you’d be interested in seeing, feel free to check back on this at, well, some point.

Anyway, thanks for playing! We’re glad that you enjoyed the art!
