"First comes the blinding white light, then the colors, and then the stillness."

Kazu wakes up in a hospital bed, devoided of his memories. Under his disoriented state, he meets a young girl by the name of Yukari, a close friend of his who tries her best to ease his troubles. A car accident has brought Kazu here, but Yukari regrets informing him about his mother who's on her death bed. Kazu tries his best to remember anything about his mother, but nothing comes.

After Yukari leaves, Kazu gets up from his bed and drags himself down the hall to the other hospital room where she lays. The mother's crippled form, the unbreathable atmosphere, and the gentle sound of rain. Slowly, it dawned on him:

"My mother's about to die. The mother I don't even recognize."

Shortly after leaving the hospital, he meets another old friend, Shiori, who also begins to help dispel the bleak and uneasy tension in the air. Kazu decides to go back to school in order to regain his past self. He then meets two new friends by the name of Emily and Saori, but Kazu decides to act as if he's a simple transfer student. Kazu thinks that it would be a good opportunity to get a hobby. He is presented with some choices about whether he should pursue painting, music, or whichever. But there is still one question that is left unanswered:

Will his mother survive?

I played through the demo and it was pretty good! (It's a pretty lengthy demo!)The artwork for the backgrounds and characters is great. The characters are pretty likable so far (<3 Shiori) and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story leads and how these characters develop. 

The writing has a good balance between serious/emotional moments and humorous moments. I thought some of the writing was a bit overdramatic at first, but I was glad that the humor helped keep it in check. I was even a bit surprised the main character had some self-awareness at the beginning to help me get over that feeling I had. After I thought about it, I came to think, "Yeah, I guess that's probably how someone would think or feel in that situation" and got over that feeling of it being overdramatic.

I made a video with my commentary and experiences. Keep up the great work and good luck with development!

Hey! Thank you so much for you response, I'm super happy you like the demo so far and I've watched parts of your video. Super interesting/weird to see the responses to say the least! If you're following the character artist, he'll keep you posted on when the Kickstarter will launch, it will be soon!
