passed the quiz without even knowing it was coming because i am great at remembering trivia but only for about four minutes

definitely very sensual, but opening with a lengthy description of regular injections set a different tone for me.  not your fault though — we had to give my cat daily injections for three months a couple years ago, and that was not a fun time for anyone, but it's my main reference point for use of needles.  especially with a cat

interesting and appropriately alien species.  love the watercolors too.  physical watercolors too, by the looks of it?  analog assets in a video game are always really cool

Personally had no problem with the font, maybe because I regularly write in cursive.

Really cool idea, wonderful aesthetic and general vibe. I saw from the other comments that there’d be a quiz, so I took plenty of notes and got through it fine.

I love the idea of this game, although I find the font kind of fatiguing to read so much text in. Also there’s a lot of lore to absorb, and after a certain point I found myself just clicking through quickly to see if there was ever an interactive branch point, and ended up accidentally clicking on the “wrong answer” one which then, of course, booted me back to the main menu, which kind of felt like I was back in high school English class. If there were at least a “skip forward” button like what ren.py normally allows I’d be a lot more eager to try again.

The music is great and reminds me of the Pixeljunk games on the PS3 (especially Monsters and Eden). I’d love to have a standalone OST to listen to!

EDIT: oh duh I just looked at the credits, the music is by my friend Jeremy, awesome

I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when getting into this, but a xenobiology lecture featuring needleplay and a pop quiz was definitely not it. The art is super sweet, and there’s a soft intimacy to the written scenes that really draws you in.

Unfortunately the font choice really pulled me out of it - I couldn’t immerse myself as well as I would of liked because I was struggling against the text. The cursor not lining up with the buttons was also distracting.

music's good, art is cute and charming, i love an infodump on xenobiology.  there's a couple little things like the font being a bit straining to read and the button/cursornot lining up natural but it was a really great and particular little vn! i love catplants!!

I love the presentation style, it sets a really pleasant and fitting atmosphere. The font can be a little too ornate for easy reading at times, especially with a preference for academic language, but it fits the overall style well. The music is a great match to the visuals, and the art is neat and colorful. Overall, a very neat experience, your blend of scholarly, alien, and sexually evocative writing comes together very nicely!

oh i fucking love alien psychology and worldbuilding and this was such a DELIGHT I LOVED this a LOT and the art is so CUTE and aAAAAA I LOVE THIS I’m not even into bondage but the wingweaving section made me feel some kind of emotion, that’s for sure

My only complaint is none of the buttons seemed to be where I thought they were, all of them seemed to be more to the right relative to the text. Some sort of styling issue, I assume? I also had to remember the secret Renpy hide command (press H) to hide the textboxes to see some of the art.

I got the same vibes that I get when I watched national geographic documentals.
But with a kink factor. It is not my kink, but I sure did aced the test XD.

Loved the art and the world building! The only problem I had was that some of the buttons weren't working correctly (like I was trying to open the "history" tab but kept clicking on "back"), but I've never used renpy before so I don't know if that's something you can edit. It was also not a huge issue, I just missed a few lines of dialogue.

That was SO CUTE. Loved the explaination and POV on kinks and the layered worldbuilding on top of profoundly self-aware descriptions (lol'd at the TK). The pop quiz was mean but the skip option makes new attempts super easy.
I was afraid the art would be janky given the prof but it's actually so soft and fitting and sometimes just straight down beautiful. Music was fitting too!

Well, that was a fascinating bit of world building. I like the art and though the Catplant people were pretty cool. The wing weaving scenes was very intimate. The writing managed to ease my usually discomfort for needle play. Pretty good read.
