Nah i just confused the whole mini game stuff with another game and i didn't use the sketchbook in here at all, thats why i had in mind that you could turn it off. My bad. lolEncouragement is great. Encouragement and constructive criticism is better.
So, some criticism: I enjoy branching storylines, but having your readers only see halve the scenes you made right from the start can backfire badly. It's likely going to fragment more as the story progresses and that means splitting time/effort between branches, having updates feel "too short" because people see only a small part of mutually exclusive events, etc.
"Want to get that one scene in Ep.7? Better start over and pick a series of specific choices throughout" can also be a tough sell. Given the way this is appears to be structured, I'm a little worried they'll wear themselves thin down the line. (Also, if Lain ever feels like making a mod for this that chains all non-branch-specific missable scenes, I'd play that one and never go back. Branches are one thing, but a bunch of other scenes have no good reason for being mutually exclusive.)
Anyway, this has lots of potential and hopefully those worries are unfounded. To agree with pretty much everyone in this thread: renders and character models are gorgeous. Writing is compelling. I didn't dislike the phone gimmick nearly as much as I'd have expected
Keep up the great work and best of luck!
Don't be a tease, tell us where and how
I was looking for a way to comment out the minigames or add play / skip buttons, but couldn't find them. Probably missed something incredibly obvious?

After trying the mini games, i personaly don't find them hard just annoying but i can see why it could cause problems for people with disabilities. Still probably won't do them..rather use UnRen and look at the pictures if i really want to see them.
