I played this back in April and I haven't been able to comment since then, but I enjoyed this VN so, so much and I can still remember that quite well. I was so pleased to see a game tackling a protagonist who is a maladaptive daydreamer. It's not super common to see as an explicitly addressed trait, although there are some characters, like Ralphie in A Christmas Story and Walter in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), but I felt more connected to Bee as a character than I did to either of those two. For one thing, Bee is a girl, and a young adult rather than a young child or a middle-aged person, which right off the bat makes her much more similar to me. But also the way her daydreaming was described and handled was amazing. In the two that I mentioned, the daydreaming is mostly played for laughs and there is very little exploration of the positive and negative effects that it has on the characters' lives. I truly felt like I could see myself in Bee with her inability to pay attention in class, the way that she's able to easily turn to daydreaming to entertain herself, the exploration of her sexuality through daydreaming (this in particular was absolutely essential to figuring myself out - I spent a lot of time thinking about what it would be like to kiss a girl which allowed me to feel more comfortable when the opportunity actually arose), and oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh the person running next to the vehicle thing absolutely floored me because I still do that occasinally if I'm the passenger and I've never seen it ONCE discussed in media.

Just, yeah, I thought it was super well-written, I had fun finding all of the endings, the art (and GUI! wow!) were beautiful, and honestly I just loved the concept from the very beginning. Absolutely amazing job on this and I will definitely be on the lookout for more projects from you! (:
