Parts of the Elephant

Really impressive first outing from the talented minds at 1 head 2 skulls. A short and sweet blend of self-reflective character drama with a hint of deeper forces at work that really encourages a replay or two. The character art has such charm to it and the animations do a great job of lending personality. The music helps set the tone and unnerve the player, prompting them to investigate a little further than they might normally. I often find that the writing in smaller scale visual novels has occasional awkward phrasing or a stilting pace that can temporarily take me out of the immersion, but I was impressed at the naturalness and flow of conversation and narration present. I wasn't a huge fan of the background artwork and would have preferred a more stylized UI/UX. My favourite bit was the way the time of day got progressively more distorted over time due to the way the character drank alcohol.

I'm a little in love. Between the humor and the heartfelt sadness, the cool expressive art and the mystery slowly unraveling, and the super cool UI that changes with every loop, this was very very fun. (edited because I fully finished it, I was right, it's very good)

Really lovely story line!! Loved every minute of play time and would love to see just how much more could be leaned about all the available characters!!

LOVED IT! I cannot believe this game isn't more popular. The art and themes were fantastic and it was a super fun play.

Spectacular writing, good character design and I enjoyed how the mundane and surreal were blended together to keep the player guessing at the central mystery of the story. Try playing it when you're hungry.

A brilliant and super artistic visual novel. I did not get bored once searching for all the different endings.
