i wish there were more yuri

After playing the absolute masterpiece that is Hello Girl, I checked out this other project. The story was endearing, the music was really good and the art grew on me, the chibi style, although not as refined as the one in Hello Girl (which might be because of the different artist) was still indicative of the other game if that makes any sense. I will be waiting for any future projects from you or the team, where we see the amazing invention of #girlslove #yuri #wlw.

thank you! this was entirely a solo project aside from the music, art isn't my strongest focus, but i think it turned out OK! i'm grateful for hello girl praise as well, i was the main writer there^^

just finished and i'm going to explode i loved it so much #girlslove #yuri #yuriislit

Now that I finally have an Itch.io Account, I can tell you that "Good Morning Is a Social Construct" is a beautiful and sincere project. Small little pieces of it, like the Miya's daydreaming over dinner have just become small staples of my everyday life. I think everyone who reads this will relate to Miya but aspire to be Sara.

...When I first booted it up, I was hoping Miya and Hina kissed.

This was really lovely to play through! Poor Miya, I'm glad it seems to have more or less worked out :-)

I haven't finished the game yet, but I have to say- this is very well done. Somehow you've captured the essence of what it's like to be a shy teenager. Brilliant work!

I must say, I quite enjoyed this VN, heheh.  In particular, I very much appreciate how you didn't shy away from showing a realistic depiction of what depression is like, nor from the ugly interaction that unfolded after Hina's meddling; indeed, the character writing and interactions are this story's biggest strengths.  Of course, I also rather liked the art style—the CGs were especially strong, heheh—and the background music complemented the experience very well.

All of that is to say, great work!  I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next, heheheh~

The writing of the characters speaking and Miya thinking to herself is really natural in depicting how uneasy circular thoughts and moment to moment casual speech can be. The characters are also so blunt and hard-headed that they become super funny with no prior warning. This vn got several laughs out of me, not expecting how silly they get towards each other, or while Miya is monologuing internally. #hadtosayit The music was bittersweet and tugged at my heart and was paired with the visuals in scenes nicely. I liked getting to see the different alternate coloured backgrounds and the story payoff when they appeared. The art is beautifully done with great use of colour and the scene transitions were fun. These character designs and expressions are all so cute. Along with the sfx, the art direction makes the world feel real and tangible. This story featured realistic frustration with one's perceived unchanging self, prospective future, temporary companions, among other things. It was both a comedic and touching read.
