It's been a while since my last visual novel and after playing enough small, cute visual novels, I decided to try making my own. I wanted to test myself and see how a project with a far smaller scope'd fare.
Inspired by (But became a project absolutely not sticking to the guidelines of) the O2A2VN Jam!
Currently a sort of weird WIP- 0.9 being the trimmed down (but complete) release, with plans to update and add a few more tidbits for a full 1.0 version.
I hope you enjoy it!
