The prose is lovely. Every time I replayed the game, I appreciated the writing more. All in all, it was a nice visual novel. The illustrations and sound design made for a few very immersive moments!

I had a chance to share this with the author earlier, but wanted to put my thoughts out for others to see.

* I really like the writing style, I could feel the sense of "wait, what was I doing..?" really strong

* I liked the ending! it wasn't just "I did the thing! Good job me!" it was, "I made progress, which is good for today". I think that can be hard for me to keep in mind.

Developer

Thanks again for playtesting and the feedback! Yes, it can be hard to keep in mind but every step of progress counts :)

It was funny, really relatable too 😆 and I really liked the twist at the end with the title screen.

I loved parts where it cut out to the illustrations. I wish there was more of that, because it adds a great deal to the experience!

Developer

Haha thanks for noticing the title screen! I'll be sure to add more illustrations in my next project :) I'm glad you found it funny and relatable!

I really like the art style for the drawings! I wish that aspect was presented in some way on the text screens or if the text were overlayed on top of some of the drawings. I think adding improving some smaller details could make it feel a lot more polished. Some more audio on the text screens such as background music/ambience or sound when the text is being revealed could help keep the player more immersed. I really like some of the descriptions in the narrative like "wet clothes feel like a second skin" or "describing yourself is like trying to look at your own back". Lastly, I'd put more emphasis on Morgan's goal of writing the essay; the initial mention is that Morgan was thinking about the essay and hadn't made much progress yet. If there was more of an emphasis on the importance of the essay that could help guide the player toward making the "right" decisions. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the detailed feedback! I'll keep it in mind for my next project, especially about adding more audio/ambience :) I'm glad you liked the art and drawings!
