First thing, that really caught my attention was that the plot goes really quickly. You don't really realize what was today and what yesterday and it gets mixed up. Also, in my opinion she is talking with guys like she left for a summer or a few months and get back, not a few years. The beginning could me described a little more and they should be a little more awkward around each other (I think).
For example,
Why Mark tolerate her at the very beginning and doesn't shouts something like: "You didn't try to get in touch and now you're coming back?" or "You didn't even get in contact with us and now you act as our friend?"
If he was so angry at her, well, I do not understand his behaviour.
James route is nice, even though you admit something lacks there, but still! You could work a little more on ending, it really does comes way too fast, like... Whatever the hell is happening there...?If he was so angry at her, well, I do not understand his behaviour.
These are my major objections. You may think I'm brutal, but I am not, exactly. The plot is interesting and the game has more potential. I enjoyed all of the routes, and I greatly enjoyed the game.
Another little thing is, you could work a little bit more on sprites, it's visible not the whole background was erased, and if you know your way around in graphic programs, you can easily do it. If you do not, just google erasing backgrounds. There are many tutorials and this would improve the game experience greatly.
If I were to rate the game, I'd gave it 3,5/5. What I enjoyed the most was the lovely personality of main character (thank God it stays the same no matter what route you pursue! Good work on that), the interesting information about your (I assume) language, I actually feel like I've learnt something! Tee-hee! Also, I love Arvin's character. I just wish there were more details about him, like... Casey could explore his actual life a little bit more. I'd love that.
Well, that's it! You have done a great job, and I wish you more successes!
It's a really nice language. I personally self-study it.
Ahaaa, also, if ever I do a remake of this in the future, those comments of yours will be a huge help to me. So thank you very much!
I'm just really touched (and very glad) that you enjoyed this little game of mine! Thank you so much for playing and leaving a detailed feedback. Very, very helpful. <3
