The splash screen with the visual novel jam page might be a little too zoomed in! The smudgy art style is really cute, and I imagine it might be a 'draft' version but I actually really like it as-is. I loved the colour of the sprites spreading past the outlines of them and the visible brush/pen strokes. Also, Aunt Vernya's design SERVES. I'd love to see some text speed settings added (I read way too fast LMAO). Really curious about where the story is going.
Time to go get my rabies shot now, I guess... thanks, Elijah.
Thank you so much for your feedback! It was our first time making a visual novel, and we plan to edit/ improve this version, so your notes are a big help!
I also really appreciate your comment about the art style (and on Vernya because YES, THANK YOU LOL💅💅 we love our anxious queen). In truth, my personal style tends to be on the smudgy side, using things like rougher pencils and charcoal, but I was originally planning to go back and draw things similar to the styles I've seen in more popular VNs (I didn't think my style would have much appeal); but tbh your feedback has really encouraged me to lean into my own!💖💖 I also got so delighted
We definitely do plan to add more (I've got so many chapters already written out lol), so I do hope you'll stop by again and share your thoughts and we'd love to hear them! Thank you again!! 🙏💖💖
PS: sorry for rabies lool
This was such a fun play through! Very intriguing story and very well written. Loved the art work and music! Great job!
ah thank you so much!! We're planning to add more to this after the jam and are always open to feedback, so if you're interested in the story we hope you'll check it out again once we update it!
Really awesome game, very curious where the story will go! I really liked the art and music, really nicely done!!!
As the game's composer, thank you so much. Your words are a gift to start my day with!
Omg I'm so behind on replies. To echo our composer, thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so happy to hear about your intrigue with the story. We do plan to update more after the jam, so we hope you'll stop by and share your thoughts again once we update it!
That's exciting to hear!! I'll definitely check it out! :D
