I'm still processing what I read, but wow that writing was both so confusing and satisfying when more was said. Some of the meanings and scenes definitely flew over my head in what they were representing or pointing towards, though (to keep it spoiler free) piecing together what is what had me expecting the reveal to only have more questions to have those questions lead to more answers that just made my head spin. I just have so many questions, even after everything. I would kill for a part 2 or just more lore on what has been happening in this story's world. Though I kinda don't at the same time, since how the story was presented was enough to get many of it's points across. I will say the ending was fine, took away a bit of the tenseness from the writing, but I would've enjoyed more development or character background. Though it's still executed quite well, and I think it just fits for a story like this. I think the gameplay gimmick could've had more interactions, would've loved to see those two interact more.

I found the game enjoyable, wished it was longer. I'm not the best with words, people probably said it better than I have in terms of the writing. The music and visuals were nice. Cirno's character was the sillest thing I've seen, they are like a wannabe gangster or mobster. It's so silly I love it. It was a nice read.

I really enjoyed how the text adventure formula was built on! The text box feels very Touhou, the pictures of scenes & characters fill the space nicely, and the simple choice options help to engage the player. There's a fun handmade charm to the overall layout.

On top of that, I was surprised by the take on Cirno's personality, as well as by the way that the story pieces together what's been going on via the character interactions. I'll spare the fine details in a public comment, but I would be curious about seeing closer exploration of the other kinds of characters involved in a scenario like this. Otherwise, I greatly enjoyed the variation in the story and how it affected the main character; the combination of darker and lighter notes - combined with the audio & music throughout - added a lot to its impact.

I can tell that you put a lot of incredible work into this. Well done!

The moment i saw a Disco Elysium inspired game in the discord knew I just had to try it out, and i can say i was not disapointed. Can't say i expected Cirno to start talking like a mobster  but I rather enjoyed it. The ending bit certainly threw a lot of plot points at you at once, and maybe i would have enjoyed a bit more time on that of our character trying to piece things together before, well, what happened.  (And maybe i thought the ending was a bit corny but that's just me. I can see the vision and i apriciate what it was going for)
As this is a story based submission I won't go into details of what  goes on. I will say i enjoyed the writing and also the tale of a different flavor of love as  well.  All in all a great entry, and a nice play on its  inspirations as well. well done!

It took me until the end to understand, but once it clicked, it was pretty satisfying. Cirno speaking in the third person is a very inspired choice.

This is smart and pointed! I enjoyed the gradual revelation here very much. The little portraits work very well, and it felt like a coherent aesthetic held text-box and images together.

~~SPOILERS~~

Hm, yummy. A VN with dialogue branches that are actually low-stakes for a change. I'll admit, I'm just as clueless as MC throughout the first half but when Real Marisa shows up, that's when I realize the whole Reimu urn thing was a seance.. all along.. Although it'd be hilarious if Reimu was actually an omnyoudou practitioner (to further expand on the Yin-Yang motif) and BECOMING Marisa as a kuchiyose. Or.. was that what really happened this whole time? (Mind blown). But yeah, the writing here's got hands..
