The short about how the human sounds are all food related is all the more mind blowing now. Made me do some internal reckoning with some of my own personal hang ups so, 10/10. Great work Violet!1 found this helpful
Say(Express(Emotion.DELIGHT)); 10/10 would drop potatoes in front of Clover again Say(Debug.Process(review)); A lovely little visual novel with charming touches. Especially enjoyed the command line heading and subtle animations.1 found this helpful
Playing through Plus/Minus Zero has been a delightful experience: the art is charming, the writing flows nicely, and I especially enjoy the unique "command line" feature running above Clover's dialogue, which conveys the thoughts/intentions behind her statements. It nicely reinforces the game's focus on the wide breadth of perspectives and experiences a person can have, and how we should question our assumptions about "normal" human behavior.1 found this helpful
A nice slice of life visual novel. Feels "low stakes" but also thoughtful and interesting. For some reason I really like how the main menu looks
A charming lil game! I like the writing, especially the whole "programming language" quirk of the main character. Think the vibes were nice, and the emotional vibes/message hit really well. Keep up the good work!
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it
