I can tell that you had a lot of fun doing the portraits! They're very expressive, including the Marisa wink one with the star effect. I also always appreciate being able to visualize the surrounding environment via things such as the sketched-in background.
The writing does a really good job of being varied, and the QTE dialogue style makes for an interesting gameplay element - trading off the ability to think through options for Marisa's on-the-spot scenario. I wonder if the timer could be adjusted or configured by the player somehow, depending on what the Ren'Py plugin allows. That may be a good way to accommodate different level of reading speed, including non-native levels.
Aside from that, I really enjoyed the storytelling and the depth of Marisa's & Reimu's interactions with the world around them. Combined with the creative use of limited colors, this was very well done!
Short, yet sweet. I like the overall look of the game with the limited color palette, and the QTE for the choices helped to keep me engaged.
Also the music at the village was going crazy lmao
A very cute VN. The portraits capture the main duo well. That timer though... definitely too short. Barely enough time to read the options, must less process what might be a good one. It leads to needing to save scum, which defeats the mechanic entirely. The writing is humorous and it feels like a nice day in the life of Marisa. Just a day where she needs to be her best for her bestie.
An adorable little VN that captures a ReiMari dynamic I vibe with quite a lot. The timer is not very lenient and seems to end before the indicator actually reaches it's end (or it's so fast it looked like that to me) leading to me save-scumming a couple choices, but it's all worth it for the lovely ending that feels so earned after you get it, I really adore this one!
A very charming game. The timing is tight but fortunately I got everything right the first time.
Realtime VN stressed me out. You nailed the Nervous Marisa ReiMari dynamic. Nice job.
This game has a special place in my heart, as a fellow Hard-Mode-VN-Where-You-Confess-To-Your-Love-As-Marisa-Under-A-Timer maker. I've always wondered how it feels like to play something like this, rather than be on the side that makes it. Thank you for the experience.
This game was sweet. The game looping back when you take too long for a choice in the final stage was a nice touch too, it really feels like you earned her patience after being a good girl and picking good choices. The timer is a little brutal but renpy's rewind feature cancels that out and helps to view all the possible dialogue.
Overall, a nice fun quick game, good work!
This is very nice! The time mechanic is a fun idea, and with the rewind always available it still feels pretty chill.
Perfect cover image / main menu image, also.
Very cute game, loved the whole Human Village sequence. The timer was a bit rough for me and I did time-out twice on my first playthrough, but other than that it provided a pretty good challenge. The art was very pretty and I enjoyed the good ending CG. Great stuff!
I hope you at least found the timeout dialogue amusing!
great little VN, i liked the art and music a lot. the backgrounds despite being minimal they were really good and fitting as well! the writing is simple, really cute and fun. i liked it. i messed up very often, i think the time limit could be a bit more generous, but i got the true ending using rewind. i liked that reimu remains happy even if you fumble at the ending
So glad you liked it! Also glad you noticed the parts in the ending.
Very cute game
