I enjoyed it.

The fact that the countdown did not matter was intresting, it felt like an old law that has been abandoned for centuries and now it only exist in the mind of few who decide to folow and live by it. But if that the case then question appeared, why to limit yourself. Do people would gain wisdom or become more humble by doing so? Maybe listening to the world and quiet down yourself is the way of having a happy life, I have not heard mute people complaining by it, but it does not mean much.

But hey maybe there is something more in that story of, what was it pomegranate? Yea I thing it was all about that, I hope that we will live to hear it.

This is lovely! The character art is gorgeous, ofc, but even the font and UI come together perfectly.

This was quite the unique experience! I love the story, it's completely interesting and the visuals are so wonderful, it clearly envoked an otherworldly sense where MC is in a completely different space. How did they get to that space?? But more than that, I'm curious about the girl. Who is she? Why is she in an hourglass? Is that her existence or punishment?? It's so cool but I adore the Companion Ending, while the Storyteller Ending feels cute, I love how in the other ending the girl decides she wants to control her own fate instead of the counter, and that it feels like MC has become a close friend of hers. A great little visual novel using such a creative way with the 1k word limit!

The storyteller ending was interesting.

The companion ending was... interesting in its randomness.

It reminds me of a great deal of old philosophical endeavors where the question, and answer and topic are only as important as you think they are.

The countdown didn't really matter all that much in the end, for starters.

Thank you!

Ah well yeah I forgot about this philosophical thingie, but yeah, thats basically partially it
But uuh well companion ending is definitely not random at all, I personally have at least two interpretations depending on which line you choose to focus for explanation... But in the end its up to you of course;
