edit: I don't like to explain what I wrote, but after a little year, I don't agree with some of my thoughts expressed in this game. I wrote it based on my fears and questions about many things, and I still have many questions, but my opinion is evolving. This game was made to express a "I don't know" and I knew that my opinion on it would evolve quickly. Think of it as an exposition of an incomplete and personal reflection than as a fixed opinion.

This is a charming little VN you have here, heheh~  In particular, the atmosphere and sound design were quite well done, as was the UI.  I personally would've liked to see some more world-building, to have spent a little more time with X and Y to learn more about them and about whatever calamity it was that ruined their home... but then again, as per the description, this VN was made in 4 days, heh.  Considering the tight deadline, I'd say the end result came out quite nicely indeed!

Game was great, made me laugh a fair bit especially when they were fighting over what to do with the man. It’s such a dark future gave me vibes of someone between a dystopian cyber/steampunk with the aesthetics. Was an interesting viewpoint to a dreary dystopian end.
