A downloadable visual novel for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A girl wants the world to stay right side up, but isn't sure why.
~11k words - this game covers about half of the length of what I want the final product to be.

I quite enjoyed this one! More than anything else, I absolutely loved the slow-paced, underspoken slice of life energy that this VN has, heheh~ It was a lot of fun to follow Rictus and Icasia as they ventured along, gradually warming up to one another along the way—though, I will say, Rictus has the patience of a saint, being willing to put up with so much of Icasia's shit and yet still be so accommodating for her, lol.
I'm very curious to see where the story goes from here, and to learn more about the nature and history both of our main girls and the world they're exploring~
The vivid and intimate descriptions of sensations and textures is really what sticks out to me. Beautifully written stuff. The baptism scene is especially evocative. It has such a specific uncomfortable vibe that gets under your skin as you read. The sprites are charming as well, I like the papercraft vibe of the shapes and coloring!
ROCKS HARD.
Great sprites! The coloring on them is so good. The world in this VN seems really interesting too. Looking forward to more!
this is a very charming little VN! the meticulous ways in which the characters' smallest of quirks are described really resonated with me & endeared me to them. the sudden contemplative tone paired with the flashback scene really pulled me in, too-- i genuinely wasn't expecting that. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Rictus and Icasia :)
thank you..! this made me very happy to read. im really proud of the flashback scene...its the scene that i feel most people have responded to, and im really glad that i did a good job with it.
