Fell

TL;DR: A very nice little VN, too bad they are locking the gay romance option behind a paywall.

FULL REVIEW:

The visual style is obviously great. Character expressions are very nice and easily readable, and there are enough character states to convey all emotion the script prompts them to show, which is often a problem with VNs, so it's good to see it's all fine in that department here.

The writing is very competent, easily one of the best VNs in that regard I've ever read. I wouldn't be opposed to buying a book version of the story - that's how good I think it is. That said, it IS a bit overly verbose in the introduction sequence - the author got carried away a little setting the scene, but the writing quickly gets itself together as soon as more characters appear. 

Characters are well-written and easy to sympathise - you want to see them react to events and interact between each other, you want to hear what they have to say. And they don't have the VN curse of doing dumb things for the sake of propelling the plot, because, like I said, the writing is competent and the author knows how to gently prop characters to move from point A to point B without making it seem artificial and forced.

The music is... uh... I actually don't remember any music besides the credits. So, um... Either it's very unassuming or it's just not there, not sure. Either way, the VN is definitely NOT getting any extra points for music, that's for sure.

A very big negative side for me was the fact the developer somehow messed up and didn't properly assign character voices as voices, so the ear-piercingly loud "BEEP-BEEP!" that's supposed to be protagonist's voice is controlled with the same slider as all sounds. Hey, maybe they also messed up and set up all music as general sounds too - that'd explain why I heard no music, as I had to turn the general sounds slider all the way to get rid of the BEEP-BEEP.

There's a not-secret alternative universe gay romance route available, but it's has 4 precise conditions, which means there are 63 ways to complete the VN in the current state without catching a whiff of the route, and only 1 way to get it. My advise is don't torture yourself, either look up the solution in the comments section right here, or just press the "get me to the secret route" button after completing the VN.

Oh, and obviously I'm very UNHAPPY with their decision to put said AU gay romance route behind a patreon subscription on the next chapter update. Either sell the whole game or make the whole game free, what is this weird content butchering? Who does that? I'll tell you who - the people I don't back. It's a vile practice and I won't support the game till it's gone.

This might be my trauma from Remember the Flowers talking but I do not trust the wolf in the slightest.

For those wondering what choices you must choose to get the secret route, here's the way, SPOILERS, obviously:












This begins when Arrow asks us, Wesley, if we are going to come along him, outside Dewhurst and into the Capitol. This is the timed choices between "I need more time" and "I can't." What you need to do is to NOT choose any of the choices and let the timer run.

Next, you are then given three set of choices after Wesley goes unconscious trying his best to help his bleeding father. You must choose accordingly: "Fine..." when he mentions about his dad's wellbeing to himself, "I don't know." when he asks if all of this was his fault, and "Focus on the past." when he asks how he can fix all of this.

That should do it. An unknown being will then ask us if this was what we wanted and hopes that we can find relief as we then play an imitation of what Wesley's life could have played out with the absence of the mysterious accident, a life that is now well beyond our reach.

Animals with human characteristics is very wierd.

3 months?

I don't wanna become it 2 months

Fell is just wonderful! I just finished Chapter 2, and I can feel the love and passion in every line of this game. What's shown so far is truly heartfelt, intriguing, and riveting at times, definitely something to be proud of!

The art style is also very charming! The sprites themselves have a lot of personality and emotion in them, and sometimes I just stop reading to look at the fantastic backgrounds! 😭 They fit this game perfectly. Happily looking forward to watching this game grow and support how I can. 💕

Hey! I Have a question. Are updates going to be more rare or frequent?

I was just wondering because of the lack of funds you mentioned in the description. By the way I really loved this vn so far! the story is pleasant to read and also was keeping me on edge later on by how story went :)

you are doing great job! Can't wait for more content!

Have a great day or night :)!

Hey! Just found this vn from your Twitter page and I thought I might try it out cuz this looks very interesting so I just installed the android version and for some reason, Google Play Protect said this is a virus or an unsafe app. Should I be worried or just a false alarm?

it will be on android?

I don't wanna be one of those people, but with the way you worded the about section, it does leave me kind of curious. When you mentioned that this shouldn't be considered 18+ at the moment, does this mean you eventually intend to increase the rating and add 18+ content? like gore? or NSFW? or anything else that wouldn't be appropriate for younger audiences?

Im 23 myself (not that it's important), but with how well you've done this VN so far, Im just curious what your eventual goal is for the content for this VN.

(and im not gonna lie, I WOULD like to see some NSFW eventually, but i understand not all content creators intend to add that kind of thing)
