VN - Ren'Py - Strangers on Paper [Ch.2 v0.2.2] [Gloomy Ghost Studio]

Great storytelling, beautiful artwork!
Interesting paths with both Amy and Becca, although I think that Becca's character is more intriguing.

The interesting thing is that there are no lewd scenes here...but it was really gripping. I think that is a true quality of a great writer.

The renders have sort of like a cinematic feel to them, I like it.

Very good first release and description of tags, future tags, and the ones that will never be included. Feels like a bold thing to do, but at least the audience knows what they can expect. Keep up the good work!!

Few games have gripped me at first release like this one. Beautifully rendered with great "camera work", many close up shots that pull you into the story, but never overdone, and a colour palette that fits the mood. It's a visually beautiful game.

The character design is great, the girls are pretty and realistic looking with small 'imperfections' that only enhance the feeling that you are looking at real people.
A feeling further enhanced by the fantastic script and completely believable dialogue.
Everyone in the game feels like normal people, the MC is neither a super chad or a misunderstood angsty teen, just a young man at a difficult moment in his life and the two girls have their own stuff they are going through that we've only seen a little of so far.
Extra points for the male friend who escapes all the common tropes so many AVNs use. In Strangers on Paper, he's just a regular guy who cares about the people around him and tries to help as best he can.

The way the characters engage, or try to engage, with each other in their hesitant and fumbling ways again brings home how normal this story is. Not cliché or boring, definitely not uninteresting , because this is a story about regular people experiencing regular things, but done in a sensitive and empathetic way.

I'm truly amazed that they still do something like this these days. Immersive story, beautiful language, perfect renders, lots of humor and drama at the same time. A real adult novel, where the adult part is not about porn, but about people and their struggles, fears, insecurities; about love, friendship and dreams. Thank you, devs, you did amazing job! And the "wololo" thing is priceless

Absolutely blown away by the game so far. The characters, renders, and writing has been top notch all around. Character interactions actually feel genuine and natural. On top of having good grammar as well. This is a multiple playthrough game. But both of the paths LI's are interesting in different ways. Originally I thought I was going to only enjoy Becca's path. But with how well written and interesting the characters are, I ended up really enjoying Amy's path as well. The game isn't going to be a long drawn out game but it's one that is clearly crafted with love. The amount of detail put into each character is well worth the playthrough. Couple that with the beautiful renders and you've got one of the best new releases. If you enjoy good dialogue, renders, and characters then you should definitely check this game out.

this may be my first and last review ill ever write but i felt as if it was necessary. in my haste i haven't even finished the first chap im like 5 minutes in but i can tell alot of effort was put into this. i may be one of the few people on this site that genuinely plays these games for the stories and not the sex scenes. I've seen alot of people be really harsh on devs, when these projects are like their children. Of course constructive criticism is good for improvement but you get my point. I've rambled alot but my point is to the devs continue to pursue your passions i can tell you care about this project
