I really liked that this VN has different endings. Almost every O2A2 VN I've played has only 1.

You know how to write a good narrative. The story has a deep meaning, and the ''false hope'' ending made me theoryze that he had $uicided trying to find his brother on the ''other side'' withouth realising.

Good job!

By the way, I would love if you could play my 2d survival-horror game and give me some feedback too! It's called "Touch of Madness". 🥸🖤
