god that was amazing
Really good storytelling! I like it when I'm left yearning for an epilogue that would probably ruin the experience somehow, so it's better it was left to my imagination. Well done! :)
PS: You have an article from Jan 15th on autisticobservations-dart-carm to thank for referring me here.
Oh gosh, I'm the original author of that blog post, so knowing that you discovered and enjoyed this game because of it makes me incredibly happy! <3
Aww. 😊 Good job!
absolutely delightful experience!! equal measures harrowing and touching and sweet. actively struggling to find words for specific praise because everything to talk about was great - the visual presentation, the sounds, the emotions, the world... and the sex scenes were really sweet and about as comfy as I think enigmatic machine sex could possibly get. I have brainworms now (positive)
the beginning was so claustrophobic and nerve wracking. im so proud of her. this was amazing
I love this game so much! The parallels between the beginning and ending scenes were perfect, the amount of depth in character writing and world-building was inspired, and the sex scenes were really fucking great. Plus the audio and visual presentation were both excellent, making it the cherry on top of a delightful narrative experience. Great job!
the presentation of this VN was genius! it felt like I was reading an animated comic with how all of the panels appeared. kudos to you guys for drawing all of those art assets, oh my god. the compositions were fantastic. the character art felt both loose and clean, and complemented the backgrounds extremely well. I had to take a moment to stare at how nicely the BG images were processed and textured. my one critique visually was that at some points it was hard to read through the text, as the black outline was a little thin against busier scenes... other than that, amazing job!!
the writing of this game was so, so good. i seriously loved your depiction of the trans protagonist. she was an entertaining read and I adored her connection (literally and emotionally) with the Machine. not once did the sex scenes feel exploitative or fetishistic despite its explicit nature, yay!!! i don't know if i can talk about spoilers here sorry but the depiction of sex and the weight it carried in this game was a breath of fresh air. what a wonderful game.
Dang that title did Not Lie
Huge fan of this! First off I'm absolutely astounded by the sheer amount of art assets in this, the art was super appealing to look at. The climax scene art pieces in particular were really fun, and the limited color palette worked excellent. I really like the grungy aesthetic of the backgrounds, as well!
The prose was fun, the intrigue was great, and the lore was explained neatly in a way that didn't feel over the top. It just was NICE to read; I just kept being happy that the protagonist felt so respected by the narrative in a way that felt liberating and satisfying.
Huge kudos all around, and shoutout to your audio person for doing such a good job on the sound design! Y'all should be proud of yourselves!
may be a liiittle biased because i'm the audio guy but i think this is a very special little vn. incredible visual style, really sweet heartfelt story of connection and love winning against all odds, sweaty transgender gay sex with a giant unknowable machine. it has it all. also i need to make out with both 59 and the machine's monitor like right now immediately
KILL GOD GET FUCKED im in love with machine forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
