Visual novel spotlight - week 2

Did you try the puzzle? Just wondering.

Version 1.1 was released about a month ago,which is after I played it,so what I wrote about the ending might have already been fixed. The author's comment about the loop is this:
It feels like a loop but it isn't one. You're forced to "fail" once, and the end variable triggers if you choose to stand up again. Go to the hill after choosing "stand up" and you'll see the ending.
I don't think any further updates are planned,but you can ask the author anything at his lemmasoft thread,or even reply to this comment and I'll do it for you.

Checked..and it was a typo. My bad,fixed,and thanks letting me know.

First entry.
I'm trying to get over visual novels from all genres,so expect them to all have their own strengths and weaknesses. This one is slightly longer,but you may find the the ending to be less..impressive?

I hope you do ^^

Already solved by 4 other than me,so answers are ok. For Q1&2 the answer is a single word. I'll see if I missed anything about victoria.

Thanks for the bump <3

Yay bumps!

thanks

Story: No animations, Ero scenes: Some fully animated scenes

Are you absolutely sure you want to recommend this?

Hmm, so I finished this one. I'll start by saying that I usually prefer VNs with more interaction/gameplay (are these even called VNs?). Reason being in me getting bored with lots of reading. Meaning, I appreciate your choice of short VNs.

Anyways, here's some of my thoughts about it;

The progressing of the story was quite mysterious, which is of course a good thing if you have a good ending. Sadly, for me, I was quite disappointed with the ending, well, with the revelations at the end - unless I have misunderstood things of course. >_> But it wasn't so bad, as to ruin the whole experience for me. I have just expected something better/different.

Next, about the graphics; I don't think they were pretty, but I liked them for some reason (does that even make sense?). I have especially liked the people's reactions. Simple.

I think the music was nice as well. ^^

Overall, it was quite nice, I guess and a nice break from my regular games. So, I guess a thank you is in place for bringing this to my attention.

Agreed on plot advancement being slow and ending being nice; I have a thing for strong endings so I'm
a little bit biased when picking them. I think it was on the acceptable level rather than "that dragged out way,way too long".
I didn't really mind the otaku references,perhaps because I didn't choose the options that advance it when I first went through. If you do,you get to see that Mark doesn't really like them. Rin should've just called him brother,but I don't think of it as too much of a big deal.
I didn't notice any weird or blurry graphics,and I'm too focused on making the next spotlight to go back and go through it again. It'll probably be up in 3-4 if I can get some quiet time to work on it,or tomorrow morning if I find that I can't focus.
If the blurry backgrounds really annoy you,take some screenshots and I'll try to figure it out or ask the dev.

But you didn't enter the giveaway :c

Honestly,I didn't see that ending coming. I expected some of the elements,but I couldn't predict the whole picture,perhaps due to my inexperience with romance novels(ain't really my favorite genre). It really could've used an ending where mark goes to the wrong location or decides to give up,but like you,I feel that the overall quality is good enough. Glad you enjoyed.
