LOVE BUSTER!!

okay so i am gonna give my review that nobody asked for in hopes it helps..someway😅(do gamejolt have algorism??)

Kris Route.
I started it expecting the typical Kris and Susie shenanigans and you just know that i laughed at the..was it minipizzas??(i don´t remember even though i just played it)and in general found the dialogue very in character and enjoyable.

but if i am being honest i really liked and wasn´t expecting all the soul business,when i started the game i was asking myself if the game would delve into the whole meta aspect and i can say it wasn´t dissapointing.
The sheer terror in kris face when their soul-eldritch being wasn´t in their designated cage was a really rational reaction,i admit that i was a bit freaked out when they called us out directly :(

the whole speech of doubt about how much better kris life is because of us was just beautiful and really well done.
i personally went the whole platonic route because i see them as friend but i just can´t deny the whole dinamic that they have.

About the bad kris route.
i certainly didn´t expect the things to scale to a full-on fight there but i should have expected it,kris just can´t help themselves but be secretive and afraid of what the soul can do,and susie despise people that lie to her.
though i dunno how much of that was susie and how much was US.

Noelle Route.(My favorite character mind you.)
I really liked how awkardly charming the chat between the two of them were,it felt so real and in character for someone as..particular as noelle can be about susie.
Susie encouraging noelle to let herself go for a bit was super sweet and adorable :).

i expected the whole dess thing and it was so well done,what i wasn´t expecting was noelle full-out breakdown over kris but in restrospective it makes sense,you have a friend for life that used to be so close to you and suddenly in three days of hanging out with susie they seem so much closer than you are,add that to her selfsteem issues and..
(The kiss was just the best!!)

i am gonna ignore the whole weird route minigame because it freaked me out and maked me play the whole second time expecting some weird route shenanigans to happen :(

i don´t have much to say about ralsei,well i do but i can´t muster the same amout of effort,i like him but not at the same level that kris and noelle.(queen was the best part of the whole game)

berdly,the berdly route was..it was just perfect.

Most of the game is good, but i really wish the berdly route wasn't reduced to just a small joke. he has just as much potential to have as much fleshing out and nice interactions as the other character paths, but instead we get "ooh the door fell and crushes you both right as you're about to start, here's the blue flower and blue thorn"

I greatly enjoyed the story. Your takes on characters are marvelous.

Just like your art shows familiar places in a different style from a slightly different angle, same goes for the way you write the characters.

Slightly different style, slightly different angle, all very cohesive and believable.

I enjoyed the overall twists and turns of the overall story and every character in particular. Despite the tragic undertones, I couldn't help but laugh the whole Berdly route, from the beginning to the end.

This is very well supported by the music. I had quite some work done with the game just playing music in the background, very enjoyable.

This VN is great and I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Thank you for creating it.

I am delighted to discover I missed the completion of this project, allow me to offer a belated congratulations!

A couple points I want to praise: the scene where Susie explains how absurd it is to for Noelle to be speaking of herself in such a self-effacing manner by contrasting Noelle with Santa is brilliantly done; it makes a smart observation about Noelle’s character that feels very true to how Susie empathizes with people, like how she reassures Berdly during the events of Chapter Two by relating his feelings of inadequacy to his interest in Dragon Blazers. I also love the manic energy of Ralsei World; the extravagance of the background art and frenetic pace of the music and writing come together in a big way here.

EDIT: Overall, I like that the conclusion of each "flower" route is careful not to tie things up with too neat a bow. Susie is still struggling to reconcile the shame she feels for her cruel treatment of Kris with Noelle's admiration of her "mean girl" image, Kris leaves a lot unsaid about the specific anxieties they hint at in their confession, and Ralsei has only confronted one source of the feelings responsible for his diminished sense of self-worth, but each ending nonetheless promises that things will get better.

Wanted to start by saying that I absolutely loved this game, did both the good and bad route and got the 2 endings.

You really captured everyone characters here.

If I'm allowed to make a suggestion.

Considering that Berdly ending gives both you a flower and a thorn, it would be cool if the Ralsei/Player ending was specifically for this branch path where you got both the good&bad routes, then did Berdly last.

While just a fully negative route ends with the world being erased.

Or maybe it's already like this, and I just get the Player ending in the broken heart route because I did it good before
