I'm sooo happy to see your characters come to life! (In a game at least hehe) The storyline is interesting and shows their dynamic very well XD I had fun trying out different responses and checking the endings! The art is so beautiful as well! Especially the backgrounds, everything blends nicely~ Keep up the good work ^^
Thank you so much for all the compliments and your support!! I'm happy to finally share a more coherent narrative with them :] Glad to hear the backgrounds didn't disappoint and that you found the responses and endings to be fun^^ Looking forward to where this journey takes me and grateful to have you on board for it!! :D
It was a really fun playthrough! And I'm super curious about how they met, since they seem like they wouldn't get along very well in normal circumstances.
Also, do you have any social media? I'd love to follow, your art is really pretty <33
Thank you for the compliments!! Happy to hear you enjoyed the playthrough and are curious about the characters <3 I have an art account on instagram with the username sunny4_artgalore :]
I like this game!! The art style is so beautiful and the interaction between the two characters was interesting. One thing I'd change would be more background music. The only song in the game is good but after a while it gets repetitive. Overall this game is good and you have lots of potential!
Had a feeling that would be the case for the sound aspect, so I'll keep that in mind for any future projects :] Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game either way!!
