Nevertheless as the story progressed I was impressed, it revealed to be a quite engaging narrative with characters that have an intresting and well defined personality and the plot wasn't so obvious after all, it has some really nice twists I wasn't expecting rendering it overall a beautifull visual novel with lovely  art that's well worth the time."},{"author_name":"Capro","author_uid":"16077","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 12:38pm","epoch":1377693180,"text":"Very well made but it would have been better with more choises."},{"author_name":"Jod","author_uid":"20442","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 10:11pm","epoch":1377727560,"text":"Very well done, love the Ren'py configuration on the interface."},{"author_name":"Ludipe","author_uid":"20471","time":"Aug 31, 2013 @ 1:36pm","epoch":1377955860,"text":"I loved the story and the graphics but more choices would be good, right now there's little interaction, and that's what a game's about."},{"author_name":"mrspeaker","author_uid":"9199","time":"Aug 31, 2013 @ 8:31pm","epoch":1377980760,"text":"Breathtaking aesthetics on this - I'll admit it's not my genre-of-choice, but I did stick with this one a lot longer than I thought I would.

The use of the renpy system was also excellent. The story was alright. However I can't help but feel it was strange for nether one of the characters to comment on how creepy it was for a grown man to confess to a little girl. I guess it was intended to be romantic but still...if you heard that you would be more than suspicious. The final action of the main character was also rather spur of the moment. I don't really see the logic behind it.\r<br\/>Nice work."},{"author_name":"Steve Cochrane","author_uid":"12266","time":"Sep 14, 2013 @ 8:01am","epoch":1379145360,"text":"Nice work!

(Even the above screenshot creeped me out a little. Maybe it's the silhouettes or that the girl is closer to the edge of the frame, possibly implying she's cornered.) If you want to adjust for this I think it should be pretty easy without breaking the story, you could simply lower the age of the man and raise the age of the girl a bit (so they're roughly the same height in the image) or have her want to go back in time for a different reason. Anyways I signed up for your mailing list, best of luck with the final product!"},{"author_name":"lordjosephdeburg","author_uid":"13718","time":"Sep 15, 2013 @ 12:27am","epoch":1379204520,"text":"I did not expect that ending... :O The suit was key did she know all along?
