It broke my heart, and then it mended all the same.
I love how simple the aspect of the VN is. It’s simple, yet that is the best thing about it. In the end, it brought a message that lingers. Tonight, I have just finished it, and immediately took one song Reverie by Scott Buckley, credited on the VN, to listen to. I just want to relive the moment in the story, and cherish it while it’s still there.
It may have seemed rushed, but to me; “it is precisely the things that don’t last make them the more special.”
Very sweet and touching. A intense experience.
Hello, I have some questions that I would like to ask. There are some options that I cannot choose from. Is there something wrong with me in any step?
Nope, they are all intentional by design. It's part of the storytelling. You did nothing wrong ^
THIS WAS SO SHORT AND SO GOOD IM ACTUALY SAD THERES NOT MORE
Short but pulls you right in. I want more but i already know i cant take it. Love all of it will read again but give me some time. Great Job. 👍👍
Short, sweet and just as heartbreaking. I really love the music and of course our lovable wolf(the tail wag!!!). Looking forward to the next part
Some very minor spelling stuff aside, this is great. Speculations, but there's probably timeline shenanigans.The black wolf parts are insanely interesting. I pushed through stubborn denial ending, trying to start a new game, thinking it would maybe give me access to other dialogue options lolCRYING FR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA how DARE you break my heart like that 🥺🥺🥹🥹
Original Sprites! Some animation! Good expressions! But what does MC look like?
What is this Wolf's name?Some choices!Hah! that is what you get for not following instructions! Even if you don't agree with them... sigh Navigation devices are always right, but only based on available information
Aw no sprite for kitty? D: Would have been funny if he showed him his beans! (paw pads) XP
Of course he is cute! PUPPY! TAIL WAG! :D
I feel like there is a joke on something somewhere here...
Do like the genuine thoughts thing, and then the situational awareness correction, happens more often to people then I even hear about! :/
Wonder if some of these Striken options were planned routes that didn't make it in time, or just there for the fun of it/make a bit of a point about edict?
OMG that guilty look! XD Hrm... mostly describing me, or at least how I am usually. I'd have trouble if I was only one in charge of a bunch of those little...! So yay a difference! ^^
Ah... life... would be so much easier fi we were honest with each other, but people have fragile inflated egos these days..., its why I like to admit things, my strengths and my weaknesses, if you don't know the whole story, you will never be able to properly address a problem. It be like only having one side of an Algebra problem!
But that sudden ending, with little details, yet all the hints needed to say what must have happened... I ask why? But that is just it, the impact it brings.
But that footnote... could this be but a timeline? one that helps cater to this VN short nature for this Jam?
I live for the sun, drown in the rain, be hidden by snow, but always think upon the moon.
Ill be the first to ask, as with every VN, there will always be those that do. Will this, or will this VN ever be NSFW?
Heya! The best answer I can give you is a maybe.
I initially planned for it and have the sprite ready (albeit no CG). But most of the feedback I received said the story is already good as is. So, if there's gonna be NSFW stuff, I don't want it to cause a tonal dissonance and compromise the quality of the story.
That being said, I still want to write one and pass it on to beta readers. If it's approved, then I'll include it in the next (and final) update.
Hopefully, that answers your curiosity ^^
did i like the story? yes
did i cry? yes
did i love the story? absolutely
That story literally made me cry. Thanks a lot for heartwarming and tragic experience!
But the "End?" part is so cruel. Now i want to know more, haha.
Good presentation, short but heart whelming story, love the characters !
I had one bug just before the dialog with the "playlist" link but I clicked on ignore and it went good after it.
Thank you for playing the game! It's great to hear that you enjoyed it.
I just noticed recently there's indeed a bug around the part you mentioned. I will have the bug fixed with an update after the voting timer ends.
^^
Approved for MAY WOLF!
