[RE]:boot | Echoes Linger in Lunar Dust

Gorgeous. Very breathtaking!

This feels very cinematic with how the animations and the camerawork are done. The art is very beautiful. I love the colors, the vibes, and the sky! The blood red moon is said to be an ominous thing, but I can't help but get captivated by it. Of course, Tomoe is pretty too.

i got ending y so i think that's a good thing yay hehe :)
wait wdym delusion...

(Thank you for giving me the opportunity to edit and beta for such a beautiful project!) 

This is an incredibly gorgeous game in just about every aspect - the team did such a fantastic job with it. The script is poetic, with an air of mystery that leaves the player with questions about the world and characters and just enough answers to be satisfied. The sound effects, especially the GUI, are really satisfying (to the point that I kept mousing over the buttons to hear them). The music is GORGEOUS, with its mystical, multilayered sound - somehow making the scene appear magical, even as the world crumbles around the pair. Justine's VA is absolutely lovely as usual, bringing an elegant but vulnerable tone to Tomoe that really helps to characterize her well. 

And of course the art is absolutely impeccable. Tomoe herself is beautifully rendered, with so much detail put into the folds of her jacket, but the real star is the composition - the trees framing the scene, the lights of the city below, and the pink clouds swirling around the blood red moon. It's without a doubt one of the prettiest pieces of art I've seen in a VN, and it has so many layers that come to life as you pan around the scene. The animations/effects of the VN are also wonderfully done. I like the widescreen - it gives a very cinematic effect, and the way that the background and sprite pan around makes everything look very dynamic and lively. The UI is of course, incredibly clean and polished, with satisfying movements as you navigate around it.   

===SPOILERS===

Although it's clear that this is part of a much larger universe that we only see a snippet of, the script gives you just enough insight into the world and these characters to be intrigued, not confused. From their conversation together, you get a good impression of the dynamic between Tomoe and Makoto - colleagues friendly enough to tease each other, but not quite close enough to be something more. From the way she talks, you can tell that Tomoe is stiff and formal, which makes it even more clear how relaxed she is around Makoto, and how much she likes his presence. In such a dismal/chaotic scene, their dynamic is surprisingly sweet and tender. Yet there's something not quite right about it - hints at something darker. But it's left ambiguous, forcing the player to loop until you reach the "happy ending" - representing Makoto's own psyche, as he's unable to accept what has happened. 

Overall the game is absolutely gorgeous and impeccably polished, presenting a sweet love story and an intriguing mystery in a short time. Fantastic work!
