Trying out a short VN about a toxic relationship from itch.io, if you want to give it a read yourself, it's available via this link: zeltts.itch.io/cicuta
In my opinion it's a very well produced jam game, sometimes a shorter visual novel can still leave a big impression. I'd like to read some more stuff from this group, and the artstyle kind of reminds me of some retro low-poly doomer-vibe stuff. I don't think I know what half these descriptors actually mean, but it sure looks cool. The menu font also reminds me of Serial Experiments Lain, maybe it's sort of referenced here in a way. Anyway, this is a good retrospective on a toxic relationship, kind of reminded me of some relationships I've been in in the past.
P.S. I hope my audio levels were good this time around, idk if my pronunciation is good but I try to work on my diction so the way I pronounce things is easier to understand. Youtube's autosubs seem to pick up what I say mostly accurately, so maybe that can help.
P.S.S. Also, I've noticed there are some ear-piercing high pitched noise in the soundtrack, which I didn't notice as I was recording. Maybe it gets picked up at louder volume or with headphones easier. Just a bit of warning for people with sensitive ears. Also, there are flashing images, which the game warns about.
