About

Fifteen-year-old Lynn has never had the easiest life, but things have become even worse thanks to her upcoming GCSEs. Her parents are always arguing, her big sister is pregnant, and Lynn is terrified that, come exam time, she’ll fail everything and disappoint her entire family.
To make matters worse, Lynn’s been suffering from recurring bad dreams that are cryptic, unsettling, and often violent. Curiously enough, these dreams often revolve around a girl from her school called Lynne, who looks so similar to Lynn it’s almost unsettling.
As Lynn’s interest in Lynne begins to border on obsession, Lynn’s grasp on reality begins to grow more and more tenuous.
Will Lynn be able to pass her exams – or will her own fears and anxieties consume her?

This one goes more dark the longer it goes on... If you´re expecting a cute and adorable VN, please look somehwere else. If you like darker topics, please stay and enjoy this spooky work. 7/10
Lynne a au moins une qualité : il est traduit en français. C’est déjà ça. Pour le reste, je me suis dit “pourquoi pas ?”, et le jeu m’a répondu “mauvaise idée”. Je ne l’ai même pas terminé que je m’ennuyais déjà. Pas de gameplay, des personnages qui peinent à marquer, et une expérience qui donne surtout envie d’aller voir ailleurs. Bref, un “jeu” qu’on oublie presque avant même de l’avoir fini.
Horribly relatable and deeply discomfiting, this is peak ebi-hime. Recommended.

хз что вы там в подростковом возрасте загоняеетесь , цветите жизнью - пока работу не повстречаете
I loved this. Also. Ooof. Takes me back to high school and how intensely horrible my inner life felt all the time. The stress ticker was a great visual of how little moments pile up into something unbearable. Ebi-hime's writing was so good I actually LIKED hearing about someone else's dream-- a real feat in my book. I can't recall a dream sequence in any media that really pulled me in so close to the narrator's headspace as the ones in this visual novel. The visual novel medium probably lends itself to this, especially a more minimalist design that invites the viewer to pour themselves into the story to visualize parts of the world we can't see. But that doesn't account for the raw feeling that this game creates with its choice of sound and pacing of dialogue. Take care of yourself first and foremost but if you are ready to feel (or relive) some 15 year old raw nerve low self esteem sour home life queer girl suffering and existential angst, download this game and dive on in.
жизненная интересная
Графомания как она есть. Даже "Котыха" была и то интереснее этого словесного поноса
♥♥♥♥♥
Simplesmente absurdo, o jogo em si é uma poesia, ele retrata minuciosamente como é a vida adolescente, os medos, acasos, comparações... eu não estava esperando. mas esse jogo foi absurdo de bom, ele devia ser pago concerteza, espero que o dev crie mais obras de arte como essa.
