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!
