INCREDIBLE ENTRY!!! Even with the bugs, I think this might be one of my absolute favorites of the jam - the story is sweet, the characters are charming, the art is adorable, and the little CG frames are even adorable-er (absolutely love the one of Marigold noticing she's glowing, and of the younger brother photo). The whole thing has such a warm classic 80s anime vibe to it, and the low-poly background art works so wonderfully with the chunky pixels of the sprites and UI frame (the frame in particular lending it a great classic PC-98 visual novel feeling) - the vibes are so on point!. The point-and-click segments worked well with the story, and did a good job of giving the character relationships a chance to shine. Like BucketHatCat, I encountered the bug of getting stuck in the piano room, but beyond that I was so thoroughly charmed, and truly can't wait to play a more stable build. This is a hugely impressive game, and I love it so much, genuinely and truly. Big big congrats to a strong team!

This is one of my favorite submissions that I've played. I love the old-school vibes and charming characters. They all look so cool, too! I also like the little pictures and animations that play during the dialogue. The exploration elements add a nice interactive aspect.

There were a couple of bugs. One prevented me from continuing from the room with the piano, and reloading wouldn't help. That's okay, I'll try to get back to it. I've seen that it's your first game as a team, so it's already great! It just needs a bit more testing.

I look forward to your other projects!
