I had a great time with this speculative biology documentary visual novel. The best portrayal of space whales I've ever seen. Looking forward eagerly to part 2. :) The 'Ribbonsnaw' is the best species here, however brief it's screen time is.
More than just a "visual novel." Beautifully put together sci-fi nature documentary. Looking forward to part 2!
The speculative biology of the Brillo Whales and other creatures in this documentary are really fun to consider, and the artstyle with is mix of watercolor and other media are very pleasing to the eye. I often listen to this when I want to get cozy.

Extremelly well made and very nice to had seen bessides the own narrative being pressent with the actual sensation of not being just a lifeless report but actual observations and the extra details and explanations and audios.
Good SF visual novel. Hope for part 2!
A beautiful example of how beautiful and intriguing interactive story telling can be. I am eagerly awaiting a second installment.
loved it! small problem, I purchased a hoodie and part 2 still has not been announced yet.
I absolutely love this story and think it is so beautifully written and illustrated. I've gone through it three times and find more to appreciate each time, with the story pacing, foreshadowing, science, and visuals. It feels so realistic and so well thought out. The speculative biology is so creative while having scientific explanations behind it that feel right. The personality of our whale is so cute. I am so impressed by the level of detail and love that went into this. I can't wait to see what happens in part two.
Que visual novel fantástica. A direção de arte é muito caprichada, os textos não são excessivos, a narração é muito boa. É tudo tão bem detalhado mas ao mesmo tempo conciso que você sente que aquele mundo existe. Uma história que não cansa.
休闲1h。天马行空的详备设定+伪纪录片形式，应该很合幻想生物爱好者口味，各种词条小彩蛋更是加深真实感。 不喜欢VN点点点，但确实被美术吸引到了，想到mœbius和很多欧洲动画短片。 顺说，民间汉化提取码似乎化用了moby dick的moby哈哈
