An astonishing piece of art. You have an incredible range when it comes to writing. Not only does each VN you've made have it's own consistent overarching narrative texture, but each character that exists within that texture has a unique and true to humanity feeling. I respect that tremendously. More than just texture, you write incredibly gripping, punchy stories. These are real people, I'm looking through a window watching all this happen.
The sound effect imitation through-line was wonderful, a peak into the innocence Deirdre desired, playing toys in her mind. Kenzie pointing out Deirdre's peculiar manner of speech in particular I enjoyed, and recognized. Arriving from a similar background, from page 1 Deirdre's literary, dry, cold and yet evocative speaking was familiar.
On top of that, the audio/visual language of this game was incredibly tight. The stationary aspect sold the close-distance. The lack of musicality combined with the crushing drone that most of the ambience possessed felt so in line with the smothering nature Big Sky Country. Completely enveloping and annnihilatory. In a sense, exactly like what Deirdre needed/desired. The character designs were wonderful, the colour more vivid on the little sister, the face torn from the girlfriend, ecstatic flourishes all throughout.
Amazing. Several points left me breathless, I had to take a pause. Absolutely fucking amazing. Thank you both for making, and sharing this work.
