Played through this immediately after it came out and just realized I never left a comment. After thinking about it for a month, this hits just as hard in a second play through. Truly beautiful composition between the gorgeously rendered illustrations, prose, and soundtrack. One of my most anticipated releases during the jam, and did not disappoint!
From the mixed media textures paired with vesta's delectable artwork, to the subtle evolving soundtrack & SFX, amplifying the lovely heartbreaking prose. Drank it all up in one sitting ;) Another fantastic collaborative work from vesta & oscar.
Hugely recommending this to anyone who crosses my path going forward, much as their previous work! Gonna give this one another read or two for good measure in the coming weeks.
Nobody is doing the VN medium quite like y'all. The GOAT's who got me obsessed with the endless possibilities of the VN artistic vessel in the first place, absolutely cannot wait to see you break & blossom this medium in the future :)
On a personal note to close, you are the reason I braved making my own VN. The fact such mind blowing multimedia storytelling is free and available to inspire little creators like me gives me hope for other creators of the future to give their go at it. To read & be inspired by the stories you want to tell is a fantastic launching point.
Though we may not be able to fall upward, we can all fly down together!
Absolutely taken with the ways in which Graye is represented physically not only through the visuals, but textually as well. The interactions between dimensions felt really visceral, touching flesh to paper. The title card bits gave me a good chuckle throughout :)
This genuinely changed me. I am not exaggerating, the emotions were more than I've felt in a very long time. It was shocking and beautiful. And that's only TWO CHAPTERS IN?!
I'm making a visual novel now because of this. Thank you soulsov, absolutely cannot wait for more. I am forcing my friends to read this forever.
BUY THE FULL, IF NOT FOR OUR BELOVED EXALTED GOD AND HER PET THING, THEN TO EXPERIENCE TUTU, AT THE LEAST!
