Quite good. :)
There's this bit in the path leading to the discovery of Andrew's body where Mara skims through the books in her room but the BG shown is that of the living room;there's also a typo in the dialogue accompanying that bit...thought I'd let you know.

Very nice. =D Kind of like how there isn't a everything works out fine in the end ending. XD Also, the idea of a ghost texting you is really neat.
Currently in the pre-production stages of creating the VN Visit to Nowhere, a moderately dark modern fairytale. In progress thread will be created once out of the pre-production phase. =D

All of the endings seem somewhat abrupt, which made me feel like I missed the "true" ending. Especially since
the only ending that actually explains anything is the worst one. It seems somewhat contrived that, despite spending a lot of time alone in the house, the protagonist cannot visit the pond without her uncle finding out.
However, that's not necessarily a bad thing in this case. Adding an ending where
you discover Andrew and escape
could have taken away from the simple charm of the story. Sometimes it's best to leave the "true" ending to the reader's imagination.
I feel the same and i believe my idea of what happens is right!!! :D Anyways good game!!! thank you!!! :!: :!: :!:

This is a great game I suppose; some of the endings really gave me the chills. >< It would have been better if we could see the character's faces though. XD

Actually I've tried the 1.01 version first where the main character's name is Maya and the boy is Takeshi.
I see it has more endings than this one, because the new version got 6 endings in total.
I already got most of the ending, except ending 3. Aw man, I'm that curious but it already gave me chill @__@
After that I downloaded this version and it sure is different with the one I played first, thou I'm thinking the point is still the same.
The first time I played it, I got the Dead ending right away. Well, reading spoilers might actually help eh? lol

Edit: I misread the thread. This version is actually the original version, and the Maya+Takeshi version is the updated, more current edition. XD So this is like going back IN TIME.

I had trouble with getting all 3 endings im still not sure how i got the 3rd one but i did!

spoilers below
Those were not the endings I expected! I thought we were going to get a happy one where she met Andrew. But I guess she kinda did? Or at least his body haha! I liked it though. It was short so easy to play through to get all endings. That uncle was really something! I wonder what was up with those papers? I guess maybe the uncle was embezzling money.

I think maybe the nicest ending was the one where they go camping! no one was killed and she didnt get kicked out haha.

Just so you know, I made an updated version of this with extra endings and prettier graphics and such. If you have a moment, please do give it a look: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... =11&t=8300
