Developer of this game is a very cruel person. When I sat down to play, I did not think that after finishing it I would be lying on the couch and crying into my pillow. A heartbreaking story that will leave no one indifferent.

Hmmm...

Up to..the first time sink...I almost stopped and not because of what happened. I may be far more pedantic and have higher standards than most here though. I have so many issues with the start with things that are wrong, make no sense, holes......it's not good and (imo) needs some serious reworking.

That said..after the first time skip..and especially after the second time skip...it does improve substantially to the point where I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. It is an excellent VN, well written (for the most part) and the LI's are also excellent. Render quality is great mostly throughout and I now see why people are rating it so highly.

I shall certainly look forward to more and to see how it develops.

Edit: Agree regarding Sarah...that damn makeup did her no favours at all. Hopefully she stays make up free again going forward.

Damn I love this VN but WTF have you done to Sarah???
She's ugly and even scary during the date, so much that I rejected her at the end.

I was beginning to believe I was the only one who cared about this... :cry:

Not only her makeup is ugly, but her skin turned of a violet/blue hue during the scenes. It seems MC was having sex with a smurf! :unsure:

I tend to agree, aside from "hitting all the feels" there was a lot I wasn't impressed with in the prologue, especially early on, that got WAY, WAY, WAY better in CH 1-2. I felt the prologue skipped too much of the relationship build for both MC and his bro that shouldn't really have been taken for granted. MC was also pretty dang douchey early on (I guess we didn't really need to see/make choices toward him being a better person?) The flashbacks later helped smooth this over a bit, but it was still extremely jarring at the time, especially since Dev then immediately dropped us into the heavy emotional events leading to the actual gameplay... though, in some ways, it might have been necessary to skimp there as I'm not sure how many could have handled it (myself included) if this turned into another AL-style investment prior to the events with Ella/Maddie.

[Edit] - I too agree about Sarah, I didn't go so far as to reject her (figured that would kill her relationship) but that makeup was a serious negative. Plus her hair being way less red than I had thought it would be once it came out of the bun...

Yeah maaaan being (even) more invested with Ella/Maddy would have been hard to handle and i simply wouldnt be really interested in other LI's anymore afterwards i think. Imo its balanced good.

I interpreted the MC being such an pricky unlikeable asshat in the beginning yet entirely different the next time we saw him as a way to show how HEAVILY Ella influenced him positively which seems to be a ongoing thing in this avn as Ella apparently had a strong positive influence on quite a few people like Lisa or MC's mom too. Wouldnt be too surprised if it did lead to Ben changing too.

So MC suddenly being a cool guy is like a memorial to Ella too, she apparently manged to realize that this prick is salvagable and turned him upside down :ROFLMAO: (he probably simply matured too). Its just another way of showing how special Ella was as a human and how much she still was able to accomplish despite her short time due to influencing others in a positive way.

A pretty damn great update. This game just keeps getting better. The best part of it is that you never really know what's gonna happen next. The dev is really great at writing in plot twists and shock moments without having them feel corny or played out.
I do agree with everyone else about Sarah's make up. It looks terrible

I like to pick up a game without reading its synopsis and the emotional whiplash hit real hard in this one. Very well written characters and I'm super interested in where the story goes with them but.... sigh Ella's cruel fate keeps looming in my mind

I think the prologue does a good job of showing that despite a douchey and superfluous lifestyle, MC shows compassion by comforting Ella when she's down, before she tells him about her past, he just needed someone to bring out the good in him.
