Ranked from 16 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
Yes, we had a member of the team take a picture of a museum's village to server as the visual for Leone's segment. For the outer space, we used royalty free images also credited.

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
We heavily edited and used audio from sources made specifically to help indie game jam teams, audio-wise. They are credited.

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
On a literal level, Eunice's ship was made to be unstable, and Leone's physical body is unstable due to his age. After the (CLIMAX), their mind deteriorates causing them to make dangerous choices from their unstable mind.

The choices  made with the audio were well timed and evocative. The writing itself also kept me engaged throughout the entire playthrough. And I think though subtle, the visuals themselves also kept things anchored as well. Very interesting entry, nice work!

Very atmospheric and immersive!

VN are a tough choice to go with in a jam but the story was interesting and the art you had was well done! It would have been cool to add in some decisions for the player to make even if it didn't change the story much but helps keep the player engaged in the story a bit more that way!

It was a interesting read! Felt immersed seeing her perspective, but I think some more visuals would've gave this experience an even more wow. However, the art at the end especially with her reaching out to McDonald was so cuteee! The sound effects added to the storytelling well, but the wall of text wasn't appealing at first glance. Thanks for making this, it was a cool experience!

I’ll say right away that there are two important factors:

1. I’m a foreigner, so I don’t fully understand English.

2. I just don’t like visual novels.

Therefore, I can’t rate this game, but the sound design is really awesome. You did a great job, well done!

At first I thought it was a love story between a alien and a human but when I finished the game my heart crumbled. But there is one thing I didn't understand. The alien's dog is a stuffed animal? I remmember human saying "she is talking about a stuffed animal"

Sorry for the whiplash! Euni and Leone mirror each other alot, one way is through their assosication with dogs. Leone has a real dog, but Euni only has a stuffed animal despite wanting to meet a real one.

In the end, both get what they wanted: Leone is able to hold his dog, and Euni (even if she isn't alive) reached earth and held a dog!

This was quite lovely, though quite sad. I do agree with other comments that I would have liked to have seen more of the art work. I think I would've liked to see it in a dialogue box so that I could see and better envision the world. I also liked the inclusion of the sound effects for key moments.

rly enjoyed reading through this one, the writing has a clear voice and it kinda pulls you in straight away. The unique art scenes look great too, and I agree it would be nice to get a moment to look around the image before the text pops up, just to soak in the vibe a bit more. The little mouse movement effect worked super well especially in that scene where the character’s head was off frame, felt kinda clever. overall a cool lil novel with good atmosphere. (pls play my game)

Enjoyed reading through this, could hear the voice of the writer well. For the scenes that had unique art I thought it would have been nice to be able to first see it and look around before the text appeared. The effect of moving around the image with the mouse worked well for one scene where a character's head was off-frame.

Interesting novel. I really like how you incorporated the sound effects into the novel. I know this is a novel, but it would be nice to see the characters more clearly in the beginning to help visualize the story. Other than that, great story and great art :)
