This is a very short and sweet indie visual novel which takes an interesting twist. It's not very long and you can just finish the stories in one go. I loved the artwork and the the last two stories seem connected. I do see that the art is not credited and that's because it's made with AI. But I think the writing could be done by the dev.
But i do wish it was longer, but the writing is good and I hope that there are more work from the developer. There are 5 stories in total about certain topics, I thought some had a very good moral in the story, some were very bizarre especially the last one. For a first time visual novel this is really good. The choice of music is also good. I liked the one about the game dev, I think it accurately portrays the issues, stress, feelings that some developers in the gaming industry might feel. I work partially in advertising and totally it's also a stressful job, and it is right about publishing the game but advertising really plays a major part. the second story I think says a lot about money, we live in a money seeking world all the time and you get a card that buys you anything. I remember seeing a simillar thing from the thai drama "Nano". The 4th one is one talks about AI friendship, today i did watch a news clip on how AI is impacting the world, there are some good benefits but we need to use it carefully and not get lost. The last and final story seem to connect all of the stories together in a way, at least some and connects to an other worldly fashion.
Overall, I really like that the VN tackles deeper themes, philosophy and real life stituations and using a fantastical themes to handle real-life issues. Most of the situations are very relatable and we do loose sight of very important things when we get obsessed with only one thing.

The first time I played this I found many negative reviews, but now I see more positive reviews. The truth is that this cheap game is worth playing as long as you're not such a perfectionist since, indeed, there are some mistakes. I liked some sound effects and music, others I didn't. The Art is good in general, at least I liked the images, you could even use them as wallpapers/artworks.
Sometimes the Russian language is mixed with English randomly. The translation is NOT entirely correct, however the stories are understandable. They're short but entertaining. I liked them all except the last one.
It has 4 interesting and different stories.
Stories about parallel worlds, money and power, virtual world + approach with AI and about failure, depression and disappointment (honestly, I'm glad "J" is dead).
I can't say much about the last story where the previous 4 (or elements of them) are mentioned but they're NOT related at all. There are some things that are NOT fully explained and that's why it makes no sense to me. I didn't like it.
In all these short stories there's a cause with its due consequence, so I'd say in a way they leave you with a moral.
85/100

A linear visual novel consisting of five unique stories, each of which immerses the player in a mesmerizing world of mysticism and dark secrets. The game will show us not only the intricate storylines of the main characters, but also the atmosphere of a light psychological horror, making us think about human nature and its deepest fears. Keep in mind that this game is not recommended for those who are depressed or in a severe psychological state. The graphic design of the game supports its eerie and dark atmosphere, so it feels like we are on the border with the otherworld, where each visual element allows you to feel the depth of the emotional conflict of the characters and their inner torment.

A great example of AI being used correctly.
Every art, every character and the dialogue between them is generated by a neural network. But it's done well.
The plot is simple but interesting.
Overall, this game can be called cute. I'm not sure I can recommend you to buy and play it, but as a great example of an AI game, it's worth watching once.
If you read the review and liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbsup;)The further - The better♥️

AI art but stories are not that bad. The content is vaguely familiar and reminiscent of old SF short stories popular 40 years ago. Some parts are missing translation. Hard to say if anything here is original work. Still was OK in the end.

To start off, the English translation has been updated and is just fine. A few small things need tweaking there, but it's nothing that takes you out of the game. I'm also among those that are fine with the dev using AI art for their game.
I completed the whole thing in under three hours on stream. I am going to show some bias here because the stories gave me vibes to my favorite book of all time, and it's incredibly rare when that happens. I enjoyed each story and that they didn't go the routes I was guessing, It was a breath of fresh air.
I think the game is more than worth it's 2.99$ price. The stories are short but not lacking with content. It's easy to get pulled in each one and feel for some of the characters, and a lot of them are written realistically.
These tales are going to sit on my brain for a bit, I know it. Stories 4 and 5 could be their own entire game. Play it and see for yourself! (◕∇◕✿)

Well this is as in the title it is an experiment for making some visual novels. The stories are bit rough but detailed finely for short stories.
Up side:
Sound design and music for this genre.
Art style clean and well
Downside:
Many black screens
Some translation issues for english (2)
Keep up the good work.
Life is short, but not that dark. For fiction it is fine at all!
