What a heartwarming short story. It was really cute and sweet. It makes me really miss living in the woods, but I didn't have a sweet neighbor like that. I recommend reading this kinetic (no choices) novel in NVL format since a lot of the dialog is inner monologue. This was created during a Code Jam, so I'll let all the usual visual novel "negatives" slide that normally shouldn't be present in longer projects. I'll go ahead and name a few in case anyone overlooks that this was created during a very time-limited window. [list] [*]The outfits stay the same for every setting -- at home, in town, in the woods... [*]They stare at you and barely change expressions. This is another reason to use the NVL format. [*]The background style is consistent, but the crowded festival one ruins it. Even with the watercolor look, it's obvious that the people are all regular humans in regular clothes. The character overlay clashes with it. [*]The story is fairly cliché with inconsistent pacing. [/list] I'm sure if more time was given to work on this, it could become a really good full-fledged visual novel with a price tag. I would easily pay $5 for a fleshed-out story with better pacing and deeper characters. The character art would [i]greatly[/i] benefit from more poses and expressions along with wardrobe changes. Again, for a free short kinetic novel created during a Code Jam, this was really heartwarming and cute. If you like reading kinetic novels of this sort, give it a go. I completed it in less than an hour. It only took as long as it did because I had to step away a few times and left it running.
