Thanks for making this game, was very cute and enjoyable to play through

Very sweet and cute visual novel! Every aspect of it is surprisingly well made, from background noises to visuals, dialogues are amazing and story is unique. Thank you so much for it!
Such a cute little story!
I loved it! It was seriously so cute!
Idiot, it's the fifth floor!!XD
(And I'm wondering if you are interested in adding a Simplified Chinese translation to your game, which I would be happy to provide a free translation for. Thank you!)
Hi, sorry for the delayed reply! Of course, I'd be very happy to add it :D You can contact me at heresspaghettus@gmail.com whenever you like!
Sent it :D
This was very good, I loved it all and Olivia has very good drawing skills
[SPOILERS I guess SPOILERS]
If I were Enid, I'd be blunt about my love, but if I *had* to lie I'd turn the table on Olivia. "Why do you have a document about every kind thing I have done to you? It kinda feels like you are in love with me" and then I'd back it up with some dates like when the journal first started and comparing that to when we met, Oh, I would also mention how she blushed at the prospect of me being in love with her.
I knew it, the second she said she read the book I thought "Well well well, if the liar hasn't changed"
I genuinely forgot the kiss scene in the itch page so when I played it I was very surprised
loved this!! the characters feel so real, i honestly don't mind how short it is as a longtime yuri manga reader, i've read so many yuri oneshots that i can feel when something is executed super well and this was that for me! premise, conflict, resolution, intrigue and engagement was all there for me!! i love how silly they were and how obvious from the beginning it is that the two are in love with each other, you can really feel that olivia and enid know each other super well and it's heartwarming, the snippets we get of their lives together before this paint a good picture to go off imagining what their school lives must have been like. also love how olivia is delulu and enid is like -_- this is the girl i love? they're so yuri i love that for them!! and the detective / 3d chess vibes were also incredibly well-handled, you could feel the tension even though this was a comedy where you knew what the end result would be as well as the punchline (that they're in love) because enid is someone who hides her feelings and olivia tackles things in her own way, the ending was perfect to me because. of course that's how their game of 4d/5d/6d chess would end. lmao. i'm excited to see what games you put out next (it's okay if not more enid and olivia but if they do show up again i'd love that!!)!!
wait what?? no way you just had that entire childhood story about Enid saving Olivia's articles that fell in water and you ended off this story by not having Olivia find the scrapbook :/
his was so amazing, i enjoyed every bit of this short novel, and despite it being short, felt like a full on game, amazing job, with the characters, the story that was told and the art was so clean looking and polished, keep up the good work
i also did a video on it
I wonder why I still don’t get immune to theses run of the mill romance elements. I almost felt “hardened” at first against such a cliché setup (the chunbiyo playing inspector). But then the art and chatter made the rest and I found myself getting into it to the point of being a bit teary.
Fine. It was cool.
thank you for making me play this game heh
This was soo cutee !!
Super cute! :D
this game was really fun and it has a solid artstyle wish there was more though, but I still had a blast playing it.
I'm happy you enjoyed it! Yeah, it turned out very short, haha.
funny and sweet! loved it :)
Thank you!
