=======Creator's Note=======

Warning: This is a very rough "game". There's barely any story, art, music and other things that you might find in other VNs. This is my first time ever at making a visual novel; I have never written a code or story, drawn any kind of art, and made music.

After I heard about Pirate Software's speech about making games I decided to make one, since it's been one of my dreams as a child. But I overestimated my skills. So about halfway through the jam, I hit a slump in my creative process and my depression hit me way harder, enough for me to unable to wake up from my bed. But I don't want this to be a mere dream so by submitting this, I at least made a progress. Even though I have a whole month to make this, I still can't manage to finish this project. Maybe I'm not the type of person that capable of doing something within a time limit.

This game will definitely be finished. I envision this game to have a long and enjoyable story with 3 endings: Good, Normal, and Bad, in which all of them have their own unique CGs. I planned on streaming the whole process of developing this on Twitch to both document the progress and push myself to finish it, but with the current equipment that I have that might take a while. Fortunately, I might get a job and with that I can save some money to buy essential equipments.

So, I don't know how this game's fate will go. I hope that I can finish this before 2024 ends. But until then, I have lots of things to do. See you guys next time!
