Cool! The art looks great! The navigation was pretty fun and I liked the random astronomy facts sprinkled in! It was a bit clunky to keep switching between looking up and down. I think if there was a keyboard shortcut it would be easier to enjoy. The text sfx was a bit annoying, but I got used to it as the game went on.  If the text scrolled by a bit faster I think that would've been helpful. (also sorry to critique your grammar but there were a few grammar/spelling mistakes)

Developer

Thank you, English is not really my first language so sorry for the bad grammar I'll try to fix when I got time :>

I'm not ashamed to admit it took me a while to understand how to navigate. 😅
You did good work here. I like the overall vibes. I definitely felt a bit of the anxiety when lost in the forest. Overall, I think you have something enjoyable here, even if VN games aren't really my thing. Keep it up!

The story up the mountain had a nice pace to it, keeping the player interested to follow the lead you gave it. 
When you come down the mountain and get lost in the woods, the pace which you used to intensify the anxiety and the feeling of being lost, was too slow. The narration could be improved, but has captivating moments too. I'll look up more often now. Congrats on the game!

Education in a nice package. An interesting way to navigate and a captivating story. :)

A cute game about stars. I loved how much information on astronomy was in this as well. The character of Dawn was real cute. I enjoyed hearing her enthusiastically yap about stars. I didn't love the sound chosen for the Player's Text, but that's defo just a preference thing. All in all a very enjoyable game with a compelling story and a cute navigation feature. I liked playing it :D

Developer

Thank you, I glad you liked it :3

I really liked the backgrounds you chose for this. They were beautiful. And the sunset was really rewarding to see. One thing I noticed was that during the getting lost section it was always to tries to get back to the same little bit of forest where the dialogue about going in circles was. The choice there would feel a bit more meaningful if two choices wasn't always what progressed the dialogue.

Developer

Thank you for this feedback, I'll keep this in mind and try to add more dialogues and alternate endings on this game and on my other future works :>
