Hello Girl

This was a very good read. Thank you for putting this out!

incredible.
the setting is so narratively interesting, the characters so human and the music so soothing.

play it, i can't recommend it enough.

Loved this so so much.... Extremely comforting vibes while capturing the feeling of leading an uncertain yet ordinary existence in a scary world (and sisterly yearning)...the characters all felt wonderful to spend time with as well. Will be thinking about this for a long time.

I paid for the support and I haven't received any email, I hope if the support has been able to arrive because the page is weird, I will try the game I hope the team goes ahead :D

This was lovely. I was enraptured. I hope to see more from this team!!!

A group of friends and I spent five or six hours across a weekend reading out loud back and forth with one another a while ago. The vastness with which the story was able to go as it progressed, as well as the art's support of such with Mentha's expressive characters is something I really appreciated, and helped me feel the world inside of me even weeks later. I enjoyed the quirks of storytelling and programming used in the NVL sections, particularly combined with the ending. This plus the animated backgrounds and text gave a mysterious horror flare to everything that I particularly love this medium's accentuation of. Each character's personality really shined and I never felt like anyone was looked over. In addition, it helped strike a good balance with tone. Maillard's scenes were definitely the ones I was laughing out loud the most throughout the story, but even the soldiers were great—and just so cute! The game's music and SFX worked great with the ambience, and I'm glad it was posted onto Bandcamp so it could be listened to outside of the context of the game casually while drawing or reading. If there were any complaints I had, it was only the occasional typo, the inability for all of the backgrounds to have been drawn, and a desire for more—if the last can be considered such. Hello Girl is a lot of fun, and playing through it is super inspiring to see people you've been following for a long time putting out their best creation yet. I'm glad you guys were able to work so well as a group to make this. Thank you.

really incredible from start to finish. lovely music and art, some of the best use of the VN as a medium i’ve ever seen. narrative details do a fantastic job of implying complexity in the world and the characters and their interactions are written with obvious sincere love and an intoxicatingly unique vision. only downside is i really desperately want more from this team – but thats a problem that (hopefully) solves itself with time!

I was very surprised by this VN, both by the length and quality, it ended up being so incredibly good that I finished it all in one day instead of pacing myself like I usually do.

Props to the audio and visual editing, every single sound effect put me right there in the setting, and all the clicks and static and stuff was perfect. Same for the backgrounds and sprites and every effect regarding the dreams and the start of the game. 

As for the writing and the characters, that was also fantastic. I actually really like that so much is left to interpretation. That despite all the confusing and weird stuff that happened, what Ana and Courier needed was to be with each other instead of going off and fulfilling their weird destiny with Rabbit Zero. In that way, I really like how different Yuno is to them, as someone who's willing to take on the role and go have that particular story somewhere else.

I had such a fantastic time playing this, and I'm really looking forward to whatever this team might make in the future.

Beautiful little game. The characters, setting, and aesthetics felt refreshing and interesting. Very intimate in a comforting way. 10/10.

I have never experienced a more humanizing account of living tangent to war. This is a story that is lived-in, soft, warm, sincere, ominous.

It's an experience, and it is masterfully made.
I think its soundtrack and audio are perhaps its strongest piece beyond its very tender delivery.

The developmental and author commentary is also worth reading, because I feel the story tastes very sweetly of the journey embarked to make it.

We love Hello Girl.

this game is great and i'm glad i played it, the art and soundtrack are so pretty

also maillard funny :]

God, this was absolutely wonderful. Hit me like a truck. 10/10

Insanely well written and probably my favourite VN on itch. Dialogue reads so naturally & the narrative so strongly shows rather than tells. Really using the VN medium like you're supposed to goddamn brother. Loved the dual narrative of what's going on with the main character and the fuzzy background of Rabbit Zero. I noticed some people complaining on the vagueness of the Rabbit Zero portion but it didn't bug me whatsoever and I felt that it was more a catalyst for the character relations to build off while having it's own implications too. LOVED the music too, excellent guitarist & musicianship applied to have tracks that made contextual sense in every way. AWESOME SHIT!!!!!AUGGHGFGF222  

I loved this a lot. Very pretty writing, art and music. A lovely read.

I got lost when it came down to lore. Rabbit Zero?

[I have other things to say but this is a main thing which I need a clarification on]

This is criminally underrated

art is so nice!

This is something new to me. Uncommon setting and absolutely unique atmosphere. The way how writing tells the story, how sounds, ambiance and music makes you feel the place, it all makes you so immersed. Your feelings are really become one with the characters, and the fact that this is kinetic novel helps even further.

And as I barely comprehend all the depths and details of the story, so any praise words from me will not suffice. But for me this is the piece of art, after which the most important thing in your life becomes to get your hands on its continuation, because what I've read has grown deeply into me... in a good way.

Huge thanks to IMO Team for this work.

Also visual part itself is unfathomably cute, and technical realisation have surprised me greatly.

And the answer is yes - yuri.

Well. after playing this game I definitely do, first of all let me say, amazing team work, the music and art style fit perfectly and are both pretty good and unique, I very much enjoyed the relaxing and melancholic tunes as well as the cute and distressed faces of this cute girls while reading.

The constant animation and change of expression on the portraits of the characters really makes this an enjoyable visual experience.

I read for more than 2 hours and not a single moment felt dull or boring,quite the opposite, like in that scene in the "tent city" this is a very compelling and (at least for me) relatable story, even if the world it's a little bit fantastic, the characters and their troubles are pretty much grounded in reality. It made me even more interested in the story of telecommunications!

The story went all over the place, yet it didn't felt random at all (OK maybe a little bit with Yunozha Moonbeam but that was really fun), keeping the tone change is something really hard to do and you guys nailed it.

Keep up the good work!

such a beautiful VN! i felt so many emotions in just 2 hours and couldn't help but tear up a little by the end. the characters are amazingly written and i care for each of them so deeply already. the art is amazing and the music is so perfect for every occasion. all the hard work that went into this really, really paid off. thanks so much for this wonderful experience! i'll think about it for a while, that's for sure.

finished reading it just now. this is going to stick with me for a long time. thank you all for this.
