Totally hooked.. can't wait for more! Art and music are beautiful, and puzzles are engaging but not too difficult to work out. Giovanni and Campanella are great. Game has a couple bugs though, like when starting a new game, the game always freezes for me when it first loads into Giovanni's room. But other than that, nothing too major other than the occasional stutter. I imagine those things will be ironed out by the time its completed. More people need to check this game out!

Only finished CH1 so far but holy shi- this game is already really fun. I am looking forward to the rest of the story, it is pretty interesting^^

Recommend to read both "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke and "Night on the Galactic Railroad" by Kenji Miyazawa before playing / buying the game.

Fairly decent adventure game. The largest issue is that there are bugs that make the game unplayable. Chapter 1 is quite short so this problem isn't so bad. The overall content of the game is adequate. There's some writing issues I have, such as repetitive dialogue regarding exposition in the earliest segments, but nothing too grating as the tension ramps up. A few segments can be a little confusing, though nothing too particularly obtuse. The character dynamics are promising, though rather dull in Chapter 1. A lot of character archetypes that are kinda common. It's fine, but I hope the next chapters are more interesting. I really liked the PC interface and the sub-menus. They're quite fun to crawl around in. Similar to Hiveswap's sub-menus, if you know those games. The splashes of art and action look really great. There's a real nice sense of artistic cohesion and flow that never stops being really tantalizing. This might just be my favourite part of the game lol. Very fun to look at. The only time this becomes an issue is w/ hacking, as Giovanni's face can obscure a bit too much of the screen. Looking forward to the next chapter ! Thank you !

i'm finally waiting for my favorite game of my life! it's incredibly beautiful pixel art and pixel animation! This charming game is really crazy! You play the role of a young boy, Giovanni, with the lowest human score, and victim of school bullying, but a genius who is capable of hacking into anything! and one day he has a problem after hacking into a terrible incident and meeting another boy with the highest human score, Campanella, to help you, your goal is to fight to prove that you're a real human being. pros -High pixel art quality -Pixel animation ( also style comic/panel) -Human score system -A very impressive future era -Hack into certain places or things with your computer. -Solve puzzles by hacking -Use your computer (email, chat, photos, social media, dark web) -Beautiful chara design and sprite character animation -Horror scenes (jumpscares, hunting down) -To find save/load you have to use a computer, see “display menu” -Scanner bed for body results -Five or six chapters (note from this developer: The title will be completed with 5 chapters, which will be added with major updates. The price of the base game will be increased in stages as each chapter is added) -Cute achievements And there aren't really many negatives, but there are a few bugs, that's all. Also, I hope that one day, when it becomes popular, it will have several international Western languages! This has become my favorite game of my life, this game is well evolved after many indie rpg games! Every scene made me smile and healed my heart! I highly recommend this game!
