Loved this all the way through! Comedic, tragic, heart-breaking and heart-mending all at once, fantastic story coupled with interesting 'meta' elements
The art is nothing to scoff at either! Felt well suited to the story within stories
Fabulous worldbuilding, cute character design and art, and great storytelling! Loved it all the way through, including the extras (especially the extras) :D Great work!
Played Pageant and this one, really great the whole way through!
[Spoilers below!! at least how I played it]
The awkwardness of our heroine through the party, the quiet moment with Emily outside (which was very cute btw!), the sense of doom I felt when people started talking about politics at the table haha, and sealing it all off with a New Year's kiss/hug (and the noncommittal "it was fine" in the car w/ mom). Great scenes that felt very relatable!
I like your writing style a lot. A mix of introspection, overthinking, and realistic dialogue that I think fits the story you're telling well! Looking forward to your future works :) stay safe!
I can't properly express to you how much I love this VN I've come back to reread it multiple times over the years for the story, the action, the music, the art, the characters, the extras... everything really! Fantastic work from your team and best wishes for the future :)
ahh so much to say about this one... felt painfully relatable in some areas, which means you're doing something right honestly the best written representation of closeted asian queer kid struggles, and i felt a lot of parallels to the south asian experience
looking forward to a sequel if you plan on making one :)
"A literal catgirl, c'mon, just play the game" Well, you've sold me I'll update this comment after playing lol
Edit: Very cute game! An interesting take on Alice in Wonderland, plus the artwork is eye catching and pretty! Your character designs are colorful and interesting too :)
Also my hand slipped and I played some of your other games too, nice work
I have never once been interested in law and always thought people just did it for prestige and money, with very few people actually in it to help others. This game changed how I view a lot of our legal system. Honestly a lot of the topics brought up about the institution of law and the state made me think more about parallels in the world of healthcare (which is also deeply tangled with the law, as you know) as a premed student. Ideas like true impartiality, bias due to politics, and the role of each player in the justice system are heavy topics, but I feel like they were handled well. Like a well-referenced Socratic seminar!
I can tell your team has put a lot of thought into this VN, and your effort shows. I certainly wasn't expecting to introspect on my own life, ideals, and thoughts of societal structure today, but it was interesting to say the least!
Phew this is definitely the longest comment I've ever written for a VN lol. Looking forward to your next works and hope you all stay safe!
Ah man I don't even have to read the description before hitting download, I know y'all will never disappoint! Also, the soundtrack is an absolute banger. Looking forward to your future works, stay safe!
