The art style is really nice, and the theme is very original too.

I love the audio work, just the small little touches to help the text come alive. Even me that rarely plays VNs was pulled in.

Wow. That's a heavy theme, but also brave to touch on the subject and I like how you handle it. Really great premise for a dialogue based game, as it makes you pay attention to what the other character is saying and you need to think your responses more carefully and respond with empathy. Can't wait for full release! :)

I love visual novels and I'm very touched by subjects like this, good work! The art and sound was very good too.
I will be waiting for the full version! I forgot for a second this is a demo and I felt my heart drop-
Oh and just a heads up, your itch.io link leads nowhere

@zoldanka Thanks for the review! And about the itch.io link.. are you sure? I clicked on it and it re-directed me to the page of the game, so I don't know why you saw nothing there

@zoldanka oh, okay, I understood the problem. The visibility of the page wasn't put to be public. Thanks for telling me!

Nice artstyle and theme ! Unfortunately, I can't go far into the game because it brings me back to the main menu at a certain point despite all my different answers...

The sound is pretty good. I just curious if there diffierent ending? I tried a few options, but the calls all suddenly disconnected。

I really liked what I could play! For some reason, about 5 or 6 choices in it just smash-cuts to the title menu no matter what I pick. Hoping to come back and play a more complete version after the jam!
