This was created from a larger idea I had that was going to be made in Godot. But...I realized I wouldn't get it done, so here's the basis of it, as a minimum viable product. I hope you enjoy, that it's thought provoking, and please let me know what you think. All the love <3

Yona's story feels off. I mean in the sense that I began the story in one of the three endings then I ended the story in the beginning?
Regardless, for a visual novel that's probably not going to be updated (at all), it's quite a deep-thinking kind of game. Not being able to choose the future of these stories is a welcoming concept to me. It's like fate or destiny or... perhaps "it is what it is"?
It's very off and I can see why that would be a bad thing, especially coming from the previous story to hers. It was intentional to have a life in reverse, you piecing things together, and confused, like the twist and turns of life that make no sense and that happen fast. That bein' said, I *definitely* could have written that story better and the game in general.
The review means a lot and is captivating seeing peoples thoughts on it. Some particular parts some people love, others hate and think it subtracts from the game. I'm glad that you got some thinking and some importance out of it. If I come back to this project and make it the way i originally intended it - you playing the last 60 seconds of their life after going through their story - I'll write it much better and more clearly! Thanks again for your thoughts
Interesting, the choices one can take... that second story was awfully bleak, though.
No choice at all.
I'm glad you thought it was interesting. And also yeah! The point was to go from something hopeful to awfully bleak, to set the tone and absurdity of everything. I can see why that'd be a bit much and why the absence of choice would be weird though. Thanks for playing, very much
