Normally i don't leave reviews for games, but i really enjoyed this. My only complaint is it isn't longer! Its got good story and imo it builds tension well. Especially considering this is this developers first game i think they did an amazing job, and I'm looking forward to more from them.
I wonder when the silksong is coming out... Can't wait to get home and play some games... What I like in this VN? The art is very charming, yes the hands are a bit crusty but over all its all pretty great as far as the characters go. What I dislike in this VN? Spoilers ahead, read this review at your own risk. The game simply isn't finished. Even if the author did update it I'm convinced it would still be a let...
