what the heck is a vaporwave?
My heart is beating so fast, I'm not sure if it's out of rage or adrenaline. Based on the previous review I knew it was going to be difficult and I was right, what I was not expecting how insanely DIFFICULT it was. The challenge was there and I foolishly accepted it. But I did enjoy it somewhere in my adrenaline haze, the story I felt was lacking but then again the challenge of typing made up for it, I think I just got used to other visual novels whose main purpose was narrative, but the story here only provided filling in-between the typing sequence. The typing sequence were its own behemoth, but it felt satisfying to find out I was able to complete it. It was a great game, though I might need to give my fingers a break.
This was definitely harder then I thought it would be xD one mistake and your starting over at least it's not limited to so many attempts before you fail or something, which isn't a bad thing since most typing games are too easy. The story is short, but enjoyable that plot twist without spoiling all I can say is sucks to suck and felt really immersive great writing. There's only so many words in the game and it's only typing one word at a time instead of a sentence so if you take your time you'll be fine. Great job my full play through here:
Thanks for all your feedback and for playing the game! :))
Thanks for making it was a neat concept!
