The writing was so high quality - there were enough references to the lore of the universe that the characters lived in to give me a general idea of the context that these characters were operating under, but it never felt forced or like an infodump. The little tastes of the world had me really feel immersed in it.
Carmelita and Ricardo were such sweeties, and they were really cute together! I enjoyed reading their routes. I think you really captured the uncertainty of the shift between longtime friends and a couple, and how people adjust to it in different ways and at different speeds.
The implications behind Carmelita's bad end were surprisingly dark, with that whole idea that she was just using him when she started dating him, but it made sense to the story and I thought that you wrote Ricardo's heartbreak really well. It was probably my favorite of all the bad ends. (Although I'd have to say something good for Ricardo's bad end, too - it was probably the 'best' bad end in that I feel like the two of them probably became friends again after a period of awkwardness. So, I'd imagine that's the bad ending that left the most people happy.)
Even though I liked Carmelita and Ricardo the best as a couple, I have to say that James and Kitten were probably my two favorite characters. (Funny, right?) It was great ready about their tenuous and somewhat explosive relationship (and, my god, the time in his route that he hugged her or the part in her route where she put him in her pod had me practically screaming), and you wrote the complexities surrounding their relationship really well. However, I felt like both of them shone the brightest as their own character. James's snarkiness talking to Hana or Mei was absolutely to die for, and I love how headstrong and confident Kitten is. Her conversations with her father really gave me a lot of respect for her as well.Probably the only thing that I could call a 'disappointment' was the lack of CGs, but hey, it was a NaNo project, and by the time I'd gotten halfway through the endings, I'd stopped caring about it. Still, it'd be something to consider for a possible sequel - I have such a weakness for romance CGs, it's not even funny.
The soundtrack was amazing, as expected - I've been a fan of Noyemi K's work for a while. It's like... my secret dream to work with her on a project someday, haha. I just need money and a solid idea first. Same can be said for the GUI - I adore Atomic-Invasion's work, the first time a choice screen came up, I just stopped and watched how fluid the hover image was. The first thought that came to mind was, "Jeez, that is some sexy GUI."
tl;dr I really wish I'd played this sooner oh my gosh ;-; it was fantastic!! Now to go leave you a good Steam review. ^_^
