Heheh, I love pretty much everything this VN has to offer! The character art is so charming and expressive, and it communicates so much about the characters themselves; the style of the UI and background art is really slick; and the story is endlessly amusing while also hitting close to home, not to mention how it kept me guessing about what was to come throughout~
Excellent work, well and truly! I'll be looking forward to your future work, heheheh~
This was really cool! Great concept that went in some really interesting directions. Loved the sprites too!
ahahaha this is some good shit
i really love the art, the character expressions and everything is so charismatic. i love these girls and their dynamic a lot, this was a really enjoyable read.
i HATE the font though that's my 1 big criticism I HATE THE FONT!!!!!!!!!!!
i'll have to check out your other stuff if it's anything like this, thanks somuch for making this for our jam
Thanks for the feedback!! What about the font is an issue? Is it all the fonts or just the body text?
I think the font of the dialogue is a bit of an issue. I don't think it's a bad font on itself or anything, but you have to consider that in a visual novel, your reader is going to do a lot of reading. So having a stylized pixel font like that as the font that is being read for a long time can wear on the eyes. It's a subjective thing of course, I'm very nitpicky about dialogue fonts because of accessibility reasons and I think in typography, standardized fonts are there for a reason. Comic Sans is silly and "bad" but very easy to read. Times New Roman, the standard in academia, is a serif font, which generally helps with readability.
Again, this is a very small thing and Ren'Py has built in accessibility options that allow you to adjust and change the font and what not. I would say please just make sure to consider readability in the future when selecting the font that will be most prevalent in your projects.
Again x2, I really genuinely enjoyed your game a lot, thanks so much once more!
I really appreciate the feedback, I was trying to get a stylistic font that was also readable but...well I'm no expert so I deeply appreciate what you've said. Readability is really important!!
And thanks again, glad you enjoyed! I will say this is definitely our best project so far haha but hopefully the past stuff won't disappoint either!
Is it okay to gaslight and hypnotize a depressed failgirl if that failgirl is also god
(The answer is yes btw. Outta the way helen I'm boutta get it.)
Anyways, fantastic content as always noa! Some really stellar lines in here, the music was great, the dialogue felt College Nerd And Prep Kid in a way that scanned nicely, some of the visuals were very tasty... enjoyed it quite a lot overall
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!!
Ohhh this was so good! I didn't catch until the very end that it was Alex manifesting all of those things and not Helen, but the mystery kept me reading the whole time.I love these two and their relationship, Helen especially because of how shameless she is.
I also adore Alex' design and her expressions <3 also god I wish that were me getting reality-bending powers.
I loved this!!! Thank you for making it.
Thanks!! I'm really glad you like the mystery, I kept second guessing if it should be more clear. Thank you so much for reading!!
