NO MORE WORK FOR ITO

Good visual novel. Really liked the art and characters. I have some issues with the ending but it's still worth checking out. [spoiler] The ending seems to be rushed. The story has horror elements, but in the final moments it shifts toward fantasy and abandons both horror and the real world, which I expected to be a temporary departure at first. As a result, many of those mysteries and horror aspects don't receive much payoff, which makes the conclusion feel sudden. [/spoiler]

Man, I really enjoyed this game and really recomend it. I loved the atmosphere and the story was quite interesting with it's branching paths that reveal it from different points of view. The supernatural elements really hit the spot for me, with the visuals and music setting the tone amazingly. I just wish that it was maybe a little bit longer, regardless it was a great experience for me and I hope more people will find this game.

this game was more than i ever expected, and it's been my most anticipated release for like a year. i was so excited to play it, and it was so, so rewarding. i loved that instead of being supernatural, the horror elements were all parts of the real world, and it was more philosophical (though with simple messages) than fantastical. much love to the developers, i'm seriously so impressed and i can't wait to see more from them!!!

The level of craft and attention to detail in this VN is stunning. Bonus points for letting me read chat history between characters, I love it when games do that. Great story that kept me hooked until 3:30am on a work night (worth it)

An extremely good passion project by a team of (I believe) two people. It is their first, and hopefully not last, foray into narrative storytelling via novel or game format. Pros: - Themes, art, grammar, word choice are all on point and beyond what I would expect - The characters are enjoyable even the sort of 'antagonist' - I appreciate the fact not all of the worldbuilding is given a definitive answer as it helps the atmosphere - All of the little detailing and things you can miss I honestly have nothing as a con or negative to list as I feel that is detrimental to instilling confidence in a team of two people, there really isn't anything here I could call a problem. I would've liked to see what happened from other character perspectives, I would've liked more 'hell' like scenes, or more worldbuilding. But again, nitpicks. What Poética has made and released despite the hardships they've listed both on steam and on other social media, is beyond good for what it is. Looking forward to the future with this team should they pursue it.

i really loved this. the art is just fantastic and the story left me with much to think about
