Finally got some time amidst the chaos to play through this one! :)
Very cute cozy story. Great job!
Hello Brii :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to play and glad you liked it :)
( It sure easier and faster to play through this short visual novel than my rpg game that takes longer and is still not complete)
I hope all goes well for you (chaos?) and looking forward the other parts of The Directive.
🥰🥰
Life's been busy with my job and moving to a new place, but things have finally settled so I'm ready to get back to work on the Directive :) Hoping to have something to show for it soon, haha!
I understand, life things comes first :)
Hi :)
Hopefully you will enjoy it :)
I played through both endings tonight. Great job! The story was very nice. The characters were very likeable. I laughed when Rem got drunk and started talking about extraterrestrials.
Hi Magbo :)
I am happy that you liked the characters and everything :)
It was a nice moment writing that part about extraterrestrials :) I had to put a fun part into the story and I am glad to see it is liked :)
Thank you so much to have played my little visual novel :)
Hey! I played it and it was good, but I found a few spelling errors that I missed and might fix it...But the game looks fantastic...Hehehe
Hi Nora :)
I am happy that you had the time to play and enjoyed it :)
Errors can always happen :)
Read this yesterday, hehe. You already know my initial thoughts :D
Now for the rest of them:
I actually like the writing and how everything is straight to the point, it makes the plot really clear! There aren't any extreme descriptions, which I see a lot in other games and deters me from reading. So looking past the grammar, the writing was amazing in my opinion :D I liked the funny moments too between the characters, like when they went to the cafe lol
On a side note, I love looking at crabs too XD, I pick them up and stack them sometimes. The beach setting was very nicely done and I think it's cool you got to go there during the summers!
Spoilers maybe(?):
As for the endings... I love both of them for what they are meant to be. Admitting your feelings to someone can be really hard, but it's even worse when you're never going to see that person again. I think it's a good lesson for anyone to say something before it's too late. Thank you for sharing the story and I hope you're doing well now :D
Yes, I knew already from discord :)
I did not think that someone would like the way I write...thank you so much for saying this :)
I write the same way in my language ( with probably less grammar issues though.)
I do like to go straight to the point for everything in life, that is just how I am.
I have not gone to any beaches for a long time already but I did love to go when there were not many people :)
What kind of extreme descriptions?
For the grammar I did what I could, I think it is understandable enough for anyone to read unless...:D
Yes, for the cafe I wanted to make a kind of funny moment, I am glad it worked :)
Yeah, I did love those summers despite some unwanted events happening sometimes, it was way better than being home.
For the endings i wrote you a wall on discord, I hope that is ok :D
but yes, saying something before it is too late is a lesson to take, one I learned the hard way.
Only saw this now. Nice
A few typing errors here and there, but the "meat" of the story itself is great.
By far my favorite character was David. Going to the beach and reading a book, giving good afternoon at 19PM, very cool guy.
This was a good vn, *clap clap*.
Spoilers:
Also the end was a bit depressing, fairytale and real life ending!? Everything was cute and then the name of the endings appear like a punch in your face.
Hi Ony :)
I am glad you liked it and found it cute ;)
I understand that David is your favorite :)
I am sorry for the second ending that made you a bit depressed, I made this visual novel based on my past..that is why i gave those names to the endings, at first I was only going for that second ending but then I thought I had to add another ending for opposite thoughts, the guy I call David here was truly a cool guy.
Just finished reading! Congrats, it was very soothing and cute.
Wish you the best on your future games!
Hi Grey :)
I am happy that you enjoyed playing it and found it cute :)

Ohh this looks exciting!!
Hi Niandra :)
Hope you will like it :)
This is really good. I can't wait to play it first
Hi Moon :) thank you :)
