I've rewritten this like 5 times already, because I can't seem to put it into words how much I liked this VN!
The characters? Amazing, fun, realistic and interesting! Despite the short run time, each character gets their chances to shine and make an impact on the reader.
And don't forget the visuals! Expressive, cute, well-detailed and colourful! There's just so much charm and love poured into every sprite, expression and background, not to mention the custom UI! It screams polish and personality, and it's a little crazy you were able to do this in just one month!
I won't mention the story to avoid spoilers, but it took a few unexpected turns, and kept me engaged till the end. I wanted it to keep going by the end, I needed to see more of these characters!
There's only one thing that tripped me up while reading, and this is mostly on me! The shifts in perspective made it a little difficult to keep track of who is speaking, and who's narration I was reading. Not to mention the translation device had it's own rules which complicated things, and at multiple points I had to pause to quickly figure out who's saying something, and if others can hear what that person is saying. I also played this at 2AM, so my brain was a little slow, haha.
To be fair, the textbox does change colour to signify the character speaking, but I didn't feel like I got enough time to memorise it before the plot began to hit.
I could probably ramble more, but I'll spare you having to read that. Final thoughts, I loved it! (But I did not love the panettone slander, a plague be upon ye 🔫)

Did my autistic ass cry at the end ? Nobody will ever know :))
I cried while writing it, so I fear it does have that effect 😋❤️
Everything about this is absolutely beautiful
Thank you! I'm really happy you liked it 🥰🐼

If I had a printer, this would go on the wall 🐭
the concept is pretty neat!
That was great. The way the perspective shifts is really clever and interesting. The story also felt just as long as it needed to be, great pacing.
