I considered not sharing it but wanted to. I'm not sure I would've without works like Resist the Urge to Blow Up Your Life ♡ Thank you for reading.

this was an extremely stressful experience. when i got to grape i wanted to tear my skin off yet i was clicking the lever anyways ^^; a very interesting experience i’m sure was intended. well done!!!
web errors
I am not sure if it is my browser but unfortunately the web version breaks!Fortunately, it is easy to get around by downloading the Windows version but it is not really possible to progress in the web build and easy to skip story parts
I found the cherry chapter to be unavailable and I was unable to progress past the clovers!
Thank you. I’m happy you enjoyed ^^ I enjoy using scripts to shake portraits and CGs!
bugs
Regarding the audio, I was able to find that track, and my friend is now fixing it. Thank you for that note <3 I hope to have a patch out shortly.With the visual errors, I am aware of them and plan to fix them after I finish my move IRL ^^; Thank you for noting as well! I forgot to take note of them!
Smiles. This made m e vomit and sob.

Thank you for letting me playtest. It was an honor to vomit for the creation of dry mode (the shaders are so so beautiful). It’s really lovely seeing you were still able to keep the water effects for the dry mode too.
This visual novel made me cry. It felt like conversations I’ve had in real life I’ve struggled to move past and conversations I see my friends having right now. It also is always nice to see VNs where the characters are abroad.

Thank you for sharing. EDIT: The art is also fantastic!!!
Really delightful. This was nice.. brain scratch. I have so many thoughts on LLMs but they can be hard to extrapolate. This one did so much in 5,000 words.

I really was looking forward to this one. It did not disappoint. The presentation is really beautiful as well. Thank you for sharing.
This is very thorough. This analysis makes me extremely happy. A lot of work was put into the story, so I’m glad you are sitting with it. I had a very strong vision I felt from the get-go and being able to collab while also having so many beta readers check/critique my work was really helpful for me this time around.
spoilers/ more thoughts
OCU really made me giggle. It’s good. I avoid directly stating how the structure of my stories work or explaining to others that they are (generally) all in one universe so when I see things like this, it makes me smile.
Anisia was really fun for me to write. I’m happy that the feeling of “wrongness” between the two of them comes through, even from the start. I love to depict imbalance and underlying friction ^^
I know most people will jump to comparing it to Glow of Honeydew because of the flowers, but I really do view it as a reflection of WIILTT. Many times I found myself comparing it to WIILTT’s structure and pacing. I do not think this work could exist narratively without having made WIILTT last year, even though it goes in an entirely different direction, so this analysis means a lot to me. When people notice it, it really feels good too.. People have stuck around somehow ^^;
WIILTT was also a VN where I kind of prioritized an experience with “friction,” in that I felt some people would want to bash their head into a wall reading it, but it is somewhat intentional. I love depicting mental illness in this way, so it’s nice when readers indulge me ^^
Mammillaria, to me, really is an entity that meant a lot to me to write. Her dialogue was changed quite a bit to reflect my thoughts on her. She cannot say a lot in some ways due to the nature of her existence in story, but well, I tried very very hard to make what she said count ^^ Same with Daizy’s mom of course.
Thank you again. This made me smile.
A very lovely experience. The manuscript layout is really gorgeous and caught my eye immediately. The small sprites are really cute. It's such a unique way to tell a story. I love Queen's big ass sprite especially. Such a magnificent way to get across her scale while also keeping her contained within the portrait window.
My favorite parts of this VN were the parts pertaining to the interactions between men and women. I really struggle to articulate how I view men as a lesbian, in that in conversation I speak of them with a hatred, despite not truly hating them. It felt very well captured by this line:
"I wonder if we could have been friends... Maybe if he didn't so badly want to marry me."
It was nice. Pleasant. Cathartic even to see Louisa navigate the depths of those feelings. It was really cute as well. It made my heart flutter a bit.
Thanks Queen!
Really fantastic!! Beta reading was delightful BUT SEEING IT IN GAME WAS A DIFFERENT BEAST ALL TOGETHER. My favorite is honestly.. I really loved everyone. The sprite movements were cute and got the energy of the characters off really well.
The CGs ended up beautiful and the UI as well (as always). I am really happy that you were able to finish the project. It really was a (delightful) experience!!!
Thank you. During development, I described Mammillaria as a combination of all of my works in some ways so there have been comparisons to Honeydew as well as WIILTT from last year. I really do enjoy exploring similar story structures.
Again, thank you so much Kastel. I appreciate you finding it to be the best so far ^^
