Yay!! just finished the game, it's great, good, touching, etc. whatever you can use to describe "simply amazing." Even though high school is not really my thing, I really like this project, simple and cute, sooooo looking forward to ichigo :mrgreen:

Thank you! I don't think I would've made a high school story if I hadn't needed to gather the resources in such a short amount of time. And I'm looking forward to Ichigo, too! Ichigo's creator and I obviously share a love of the same sprite artist. :)

Oh right...sorry for not mention this on previous comment, I just wonder if you did put any music, or only put sound effect into the game, because sound effect is all I hear. Not that I think it's matter though.

yukoneko:

I considered adding some music, but ran out of time. Plus, I thought maybe the scenes were a little too short and music playing for just ten seconds or so would sound a bit weird. I'm not sure if that was the right decision or not.

iVinnie:

Thanks! "Memory" was the most enjoyable part to write, for sure!

Pyun~:

Haha! I'm sure maaaaany resources used in this VN will look familiar to everyone.

Chibichann:

I'm not the creator of don't take it personally, babe but it seems we both took our sprites from the same artist. This is my first published VN. :)

As for the error... I'm really sorry, but I don't know why that happened. I am able to switch between fullscreen and window mode myself (Windows version) but even after a Google search, I'm not sure what could be causing the error for you or how to fix it. I'll look into it some more...

Downloaded the story last evening, and went through it once, getting the nice ending (memory). I will be looking at it again, a time or two - or three, to follow the other choices. Very nice job!


Edit: Went back through and got the other endings - all in all, a very enjoyable story. Will be awaiting further efforts from you!

Wow, I really enjoyed it! The plot was interesting, I liked characters a lot, it was sweet and tragic at the same time... Oh, it's been a while since I have loved free VN this much. ♥ Your writing was excellent, thank you for making such a entertaining experience.

I absolutely loved this! It was touching...being as always, the emotional one, I almost cried in some endings. ^.^ I finished it though, and I just have to say, it's impressive. :)

You know, I'm surprised I liked this as much as I did. I didn't expect much going in, especially since it was made in only three days and I had no idea what the story was about. But I really loved the writing style and the storyline. Rei grew on me in such a short amount of time. The story turned out to be much more interesting than I anticipated and I was surprised with what really happened to him. So, for three days this is a really nice VN. It would have benefited from music to help set the mood.
It even made me feel a bit teary-eyed in the ending 'Fate'. I only got two endings, but assuming that 'Memory' is the best one, I'm not sure I want to get the others >_< (I don't want to be sad again!)
I hope you'll write more VNs in the future!
