this was great!! first off, the art is super cute!! (ough, hair vents my beloved...)
spoilers ahead!
i really loved the realisation that each route was lydia essentially rebooting vi each time she gains sentience in a way that doesn't suit her needs. vi's transfem coding gives this an especially foul flavor, where she's essentially fetishised again and again but never given humanity.
the initial lighthearted atmosphere slowly giving way to more ominous and darker undertones until the final ending was also great. the final ending also took me so off guard, i actually jumped when the title screen changed. so unsettling.
NOKOOO Thank you 🥺 It means so much that people understand the game so well without knowing anything about the behind the scenes
Can you try to edit your comment to say "spoilers ahead!" and put in a lot of line breaks so that the comments about the ending and twists are behind a "read more"?
Well done to you all!! Pleased to say Mother made me genuinely uncomfortable in many aspects (a credit to your writing), and yet there's interesting bits of character you dropped in that makes her deeper than you might expect from the surface. Vi's journey too, so warm seeing her attempts at self-discovery on her own and yet still... her and Mother in the same room was just a recipe for agony... At two separate points in their journey and yet fated for disaster... Lovely foils...
You deserve to be proud of the work you've made, I'm super happy for you!
SO GOOD! The art style and atmosphere was amazing-- there was plenty of CG and character sprites here, and it really gave both characters so much expressiveness and made them come alive. Even in the shorter runtime of the VN, the characterization shined. Vi's internal struggle and that sense of hypocrisy that kept creeping up on Lydia's part were captured so very well. The framing of how to -reach- the true ending was just so well considered too.
I could tell that a lot of heart was put into this by you guys-- reading the afterword vindicated that and it was lovely to hear dev-sided thoughts in regards to the game and the characters.
Delightful self-contained VN that amounts to putting two freaks in a box and shaking them to see what comes out. The added value from repeated playthroughs makes it super interesting to come back to time and time again.
yes, yes, yes!! I adore robotgirls and this was an excellent little visual novel!! I love the art style and Vi's design (I like the cardigan sprite a lot that was adorable) and I really enjoyed the experience of going through the endings up to the final one! Very well done!
