I've been a fan of the author's illustration work for a very long time so I was surprised and thrilled to know that he was making this game (and even translated for English audiences). I only finished playing the first chapter of this game a couple of months ago but I have been thinking about it a lot ever since. I can tell a lot of love and hard work was put into making this incredibly thoughtful and heartbreaking story. Despite being roughly 2 hours of game play, I felt like it was incredibly dense in its writing and I took my time playing the game and taking in the deep art of the game.

There were a lot of moments where I stopped to just take it all in and sink in the melancholic poetry of the game. Especially during Wade's final projection of his mother's portrait I felt like I was holding my breath the entire time. I've replayed this game 3 times already and I feel goosebumps during the final portion of the game every time. Incredibly powerful work here and I'm very excited to see how this game progresses in the future.

i feel like this game didn't reach its full potential. ira's character is so good, i'd love to see more things similar to her iconic scene. the story is confusing and it's sad that we could hardly see any of the other students throughout the game. even tho it was easy to get stuck in many fights, i had fun playing and i liked the aesthetic

-Only played the act 1 for obvious reasons-
I waited the release of the game for some years already and this act 1 was SO GOOD, I hope to see the rest of it one day, I'll wait patiently :)
Truly a wonderful experience, can't wait to see more of Timothy and Wayde

don't worry hajime i'd want to kill myself if i was in this game too

I didn't cry but I wanted to I really did

PEAK MEDIA PLAY THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW

man idk about this. i appreciate the experimental nature of the devs work and i think this had a lot of potential but just isnt executed well... the choices on whether to play the game straight or kill everyone are like pointless when the days take so long to get through and theres no apparent method of forwarding through them. theres a little fun to be had at first but by midweek its really boring and i dont think the endings are worth going through the game again for
