This was really well done! Loved the music choices and the story. The sprites were really quite good too.
I love Maru, the cutie.
To be quite honest, I felt the writing was a bit awkward at times, but I'm thinking it's due to the time constraints more than anything. Considering it's a branching novel, even more so. Quite a commendable job.
I played through routes in the order of Senrei -> Maru -> Liufan.
Having played Senrei's route first,
it was rather sad playing the other two routes. That there was no redemption for poor Senrei in these alternate universes, is -sigh- . In terms of who lives, Senrei's route is the best possible outcome, hm.
I loved Maru's route the best! he's so adorable. I love Maru! The ending was cute and funny.
Finally Liufan...
Does he get his memories back? I'm not sure if I missed that part of the story or not. I think Liufan's route is the least good outcome out of the 3 routes. Grampie dies and Senrei too. Also, Liufan becomes a god, but it's not something that's necessary for him, since he doesn't care about gods. I feel like eventually it'd just become a burden in some way or another.
Overall I enjoyed your novel a lot!
Oh yea, something weird happened where some of the older save files would not load any textures and while playing the Maru route the box texture for choices didn't load for me. It didn't make the game unplayable but it was strange.
