Oh, this was adorable! I remember seeing WIPs for this game, and I'm glad it finished up as nicely as it did.
As many others have mentioned, the camerawork is excellent and really elevates the short story you're telling. Your characters are adorable too. Special shoutout to a certain immaterial entity - I found her incredibly endearing.
All in all, this is the perfect definition of "short and sweet", and I really loved playing through it! Good stuff here.
Wow, the cinematography is so good! I really like the designs and the music you chose, but let's say, the vibe of the game? along with the cinematography and the tottaly missleading plot? Sublime, to say the least.
In short, lightweighted and unexpected romance, all in one. Love it!
My favorite kind of romance!
The whole presentation was mind-blowing. So much animations! It felt like watching a animated series! The speech bubbles give a a totally amazing vibe. Alise ha a really cool character design. You got me really invested in the romance between the two characters.
Thank you for making this game!
First of all, I didn't know Renpy could do that, so I was really "whoa"-ed seeing all that animation and the comic-like text bubbles! It was really cool! The storyline is so good as well, spooky turned sweet! It was a bit hard for me to read the text due to the color, but I think that's the only shortcoming. I enjoyed it! :)
This is a lovely story! Very sweet and genuine with enough little details thrown in that there's a good sense of the characters' personalities, daily life and bits of worldbuilding. I love the cinematography - it's clear a lot of love and care was put into animating everything and adding neat little touches.
One small side note: I ended up downloading the game because the text was hard to read on the web version because the window is pretty small. Maybe check the viewport dimensions again to make sure you set those right
Short, sweet, and incredibly cute. I didn't expect the ending at all, but it was adorable!
I can see a lot of effort was put into this one. There's a lot of animation and effects on the artwork, and the way you handled the moving train looks really good!
This was a really cute and cosy experience; thank you for making it! I enjoyed it a lot!
