the writing does this repetitive thing where it just keeps listing the things an action isn't meant to be. "not a request but a demand." , "not a plea but a threat" and much more.  most of it was a drag to get through I'm sorry

I'm very curious about the nervous behaviors and dreams that we see in the game. I am excited for the next few days, and I have the feeling that this experience will linger with me for a while. How peculiar.

TE AMO JIM, SOY TODA TUYA MI AMOR (muy buen juego, me encanta como se ve el arte del juego, esta muy pulido, le da mucha atmosfera, y amo con todo mi corazón a Jim, que pena que el dia 2 termine tan abruptamente, queria besuquearlo más) ah y tambien esta muy bien redactado todo, lo recomiendo tambien me gusta que hayan tantas opciones a elegir y que no sea una de esas novelas visuales que a penas te deja interactuar en la historia, juegazo

this game WILL be haunting my dreams. in the best way possible.

i think i've discovered something about myself in the course of playing this. i'm in love with jim. 

but seriously, i have never felt 'comfort' and 'strange' contrasting so well like this before, like they're snakes coiling around each other. amazing job setting the overall atmosphere of the game. and more than that, the small details make all the difference. so many unanswered questions! the player should definitely be wary against jim because there is something so subtly off about him that it's obvious (yet it isn't! does this make sense?) but you can't help but find his sincerity endearing and let your guard down anyway. or maybe that was just me. as you know, i'm in love with jim.

beautifully made! i can't wait for more, if you'll be continuing this. (there's no rush! i'm happy with what we've already been given.) thank you for making this game.

This is my first time commenting, but I have to say that this has been the best visual novel I've played so far. I love the story and the protagonist.

You can see the love and dedication the author put into the novel. I hope she can finish it, even if it takes a long time. I'll wait for the ending. I also want to say that I loved the graphics and the art; everything is beautiful. I loved it from the first moment I saw it. A big hug to the author, and to those new players, what are you waiting for? I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do.💕💕💕

P.S.: I would love it if they added a Spanish translation for the fans who speak that language, although it's not strictly necessary.

Spoiler free review : 

You should probably play this game ASAP. As soon as possible. Immediately. Now. Post haste

Review with mild spoilers : 

This is the first yandere visual novel game I've played that had the yandere love interest feel so naturally eerie. This game is all about the little things. Jim is completely endearing. He is easily made nervous and flustered, he is so receptive to being praised, and you can see the playful parts of his personality peeking through his shyness when he teases the MC...but simultaneously, there are those numerous odd habits of his, the secrecy, the hints to his less than pleasant past, and his dialogue that can seem innocuous with his innocent looking features and expressions, but obviously hint to him knowing infinitely more than he's letting on. We are kept on our toes by how little we know, and by how much we don't know about the mountains and ourselves, because our key to understanding is seemingly through Jim, and he isn't willing to talk...just yet. Each decision is worth replaying to choose, because even with just 2 days released, you can learn new information from one path that are inaccessible through the other paths. There are also so many things that the MC notices or points out about the environment, and most prominently Jim himself, that I can already feel are going to be a huge slap in the face when (or if) we progress further into the story and learn the full scopes of the forest. And this isn't even going over how well done the art and animation is, how the sound effects and music together create such a chilling atmosphere, and that make Jim come to life despite us having such limited information on his character. Thank you, developer, for sharing such an already exciting and promising story with us!
