The Subtle Art of Pretending to Contact the Dead

I had a fun time playing this, although I got a rather soul crushing ending. 😅 Thanks for making and sharing this visual novel. 

Thank you for this VN.

I read it now. It's very complete. Lots of ways things can go. Many options to succeed and fail. Except for the money, the arcs are inconsequential which helps making a story like this with so much branching.

The art is a mixed bag for me.

The background and sprites art style don't match by a little bit too much for my taste, specially the helper. There seem to be lack of expressions. E.g. looking at the ball not just in narration but also visually.

There's barely any camerawork (none in the code). I miss zooming in when analyzing something (E.g. zoom in onto the object of attention while analyzing Pepe's pocket or Connie's bird pin, etc...)

The lack of BGM is also a suffer for this VN. Which is a bit sour to me too...

Now the good

Very well done. I like the mix of scum and genuine need of MC. I like the scavenging for money vs tricking people (tricking takes priority)

I like how the story progresses and how complex things can go based on how truthful or skillful or plain dumb you are. Can be the difference between a tip, a generous tip or being left with a door slam.

I like the reasons why the characters went. It adds up very well together and adds up beautifully (story-wise) all-round. I liked how much Pepe liked her and how skeptical to non-skeptical back and forth of Connie.

Good job! Entertaining although lacks camerawork.
