Ough I loved every part of this one. The main character was really relatable - it was really engaging, seeing her struggle with their obsession with something other people would find unimportant or silly. I've felt it deeply before too! Graye was so charming. The story ended up heartbreaking on so many levels, I'm in shambles.

It's one of those rare works that feels like it's taken a page right out of my life (well, from when I was a bit younger) and understands the joys and many struggles that go along with it. I'm not a girl, but I am a person to whom, at times, a fictional world or fictional people have meant more to me than real ones. I appreciated that the work does not sugarcoat the pain involved with rejecting that part of yourself.

 Amazing work!

Thanks for sharing; I'm really happy you got to put your story out there, Nadja! I don't get to read a lot of things from the people in my orbit, so I really enjoyed it. The climax was very exciting!

The art was also quite lovely. I especially enjoyed the expressions of Manatsu. I ended up rooting for her even when she loses control of herself and makes mistakes... sometimes big ones!

Probably one of the nastiest I've played so far in terms of what happens and how it makes me feel getting through it! I thought I was ready and I was not! But that's what's so good about it- it never pulls its punches and perhaps a bit like the characters, it makes you feel world-ending things and then come out the other side alive.

Once again I come away just in awe of the writing, the complexity and uniqueness of the character's perspectives and the complete package. For me the peak was chapter 2, it was such a page turner, but every chapter is interesting.

I also really appreciate making the android download version! That was really handy for fitting it in to my lunches. Kind of an ironic thing to read with lunch!

I loved your unique magic system and eloquent, frankly classy period piece writing. I also love Wolfwynn for many reasons I can't clearly state without spoilers. I like that Louisa is hardened but very sympathetic and relatable. Thank you for sharing!

I was going to ask! I've been going MAXX BLOOD and brother's been going MAXX PLUS BLOOD

Maxxine is the character with the best sprites of all time and Kea is pretty great too! They are not to be separated!

It's an amazing story I'm going to be urging everyone to knuckle up and tank the content warnings to enjoy for years to come lol. I already knew from your art and comics that you go crazy when you're passionate for something but I still can't believe how much you made for this and the cohesiveness of it all. It feels like you didn't have to compensate anywhere! My brother and I read it together and it's just nuts

Really exciting sci-fi events, I enjoyed the final ending especially. The ramifications made me shudder; to me, this theme is understandable and horrific simultaneously. Your presentation of the internal parts of the Medusa system was also really cool and immersive!

A good read for me, not only because I think it's really cool that all of you had so many different things to say about game making, but also it gave me a view into the other side I've been curious about, what it's like to make games with others in a situation where that community is a big part of the point. I'm always so hesitant to surrender even a single part of the project I'm making to anybody else. I don't think it's my ego telling me what I have is too good and pure. Rather, for me, it's a concern that if I fail, I'm taking down other people with me. Creating things with other people ought to be my next challenge. Thank you for sharing!

I got ending B, which I really enjoyed. I liked the sort of "they definitely aren't right for each other but now they're stuck with each other" relationship, that felt very real.

Also, I love the detail that one's wearing the uniform pants and the other is wearing the jacket, that was cute!

Loved this, the presentation, worldbuilding, and characters were all really exciting! The end really tugged on my heartstrings too. Oh, Rue.

Also Almond and her sprites are very cute ❤️ 

Amazingly funny concept, gj

Cute comic! I'm going to remember this fun fact next time I'm waiting for a specific suit of a specific card to finish a straight flush...

That Poopy Goopstocking's heart is never going to grow three sizes. She's in it for life and  she's bad to the bone.

I enjoyed the absurd humor quite a lot, gj

Tucking her in nice and cozy because she deserves it. Also the stone statue in the foyer was really cool looking and the pictures in the gallery were very cute! Also I couldn't figure out how to do the secret passage I'm sorry I brute forced the safe like a common criminal

.

I've been HAUNTED! Very cool, your art is amazing as always. This one's my favorite sprite and Portrait of the Witch of Woe was my favorite exhibit 

The worldbuilding, aesthetic, and banter in this are awesome-- the ending was metal and I loved it

VAGUE SPOILERS: That one scene near the end is so uncomfortable but it was also astounding in terms of interrogating these characters. It asks what, short of death, could balance the scales for them? After watching that play out, we under the answer is truly that no amount of revenge fixes any of it. It's truly eye for an eye taken to its logical conclusion. Heart-wrenching!

Thank you! My brother provided me most of these fun facts, couldn't have done it without him

Thank you! It's really fun going game-y in Ren'py though i gotta admit I am also kind of ready to just write for a while too lol

That story was really beautiful, I'm glad I found this while researching Twine! It was an impressive showcase for ways you can use it to make the literature very interactive while devoting fewer words and art assets-- things like the background changing to denote the time period, the colors changing to denote the speaker, the giant scrawls of text to denote panic, the text you can change to try to "think up a better option," and much more. It was very well thought out.

Fun! I love ECHO

Can you imagine being able to hear up to 2 miles away? That'd be crazy

Love it, i trust Fisherman Dave implicitly

Cute! They should give you a flower with your computer purchase tbh

Fun! Nice collection of facts too... i learned a lot

Maybe a giant letter will come back down ❤️ 

Very cute game with maybe the best win screen ever? Just may be

This is music for kid me to lose math munchers to, good job! They fill a nice niche too

thank you, I was definitely secretly fishing for if you had such a resource and you did not disappoint

Really beautiful. I love learning about them and your pictures are amazing. I am partial to Wilson's Warbler because it's got a fun to say name on top of everything else! My only regret is that I can't hear them too. Perhaps I will look into that.

I'M BEGINNING TO WARB!!

Cute! Great sense of humor. I will come back to this on my pc, I'm struggling to hit the B button on my phone lol

I cackled! Very funny. All hippos are aliens-- case closed

I think it is also the first Twine game I've played... I'd been thinking about Twine. Makes me want to dig into it!

Getting poisoned on pee-together island 👍 

Your sense of humor is honestly inspiring

Simply awesome. Professor FF may be the most amazing animal of all...

Cute cute cute! Also I never knew centipedes were chill like that. Lovely fact

Love these, I like #2 as kind of a high energy boss music and #7 as kind of a chill interaction music you could imagine in a kind of a tropical / havana setting. It's all very evocative!

(Also I did not know any of these music facts and they're all really interesting)

Very cool, as a Silent Hill guy I like Eating Habits... music to run from my terror to

(But the rest that is less terror is also good)

More fun than clams on pizza at the torture museum

I'm feeling insane about this game, it all just hits out of nowhere. The worldbuilding, alternate history, and supernatural element all hook you immediately. The political and espionage elements all through the middle make it impossible to out down. Finally, the relationship of the two agents along with the three insane (and all great in their own right) endings wrap it all up. This is going right on the top shelf of snack-sized but incredibly intentional and intense VNs I would recommend to anyone.

Insane vn that makes you so anxious you're going to vomit before making you go "aw, sweet!"

Damn it's good

Thank you, I didn't realize how easy Ren'py makes it to do until I saw this! Now I've updated my submission to include a web version. As a bonus, it also works pretty well on the phone, besides not having the custom GUI (maybe something I can work on in the future).

For anyone needing some additional tips, I recommend this thread: /t/2289319/creating-htmlweb-builds-last-tested-with-75122070801 

It goes over how to fix the pixilated graphics / skipped sounds you might experience when first exporting a web build, very handy!
