I really like the ordinary school-day setting with these strange little mysteries mixed in. The cassette and the town bell are good hooks! The little bedroom with the old CRT is lovely too, it suits the setting really well.

@avi Thank you so much for loving the style! We want to create the atmosphere of a quiet small town, and we're glad you felt it.:)
Cute and chill story!
@khaotom Thank you!
The story was really calm and nice I really enjoyed it!
非常可爱游戏，怀念起上学的日子
Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff!
精彩的游戏。这是我今天玩过这么多游戏里最贴合old tech这个主题的游戏。整个游戏都充斥着复古千禧年的味道，无论是手抄报、磁带上课、光盘还是《NewBoy》都无不在使我沉浸在这种氛围里。除此之外，还非常具有中国学生的特点，我尤其喜欢里面充满烟火气的对话，特别是和Lily的对话。
在平凡生活的背景下，剧情却仍旧充满深度。我想主要讨论的就是主角王静的事情。剧情反复提到循环的概念，包括重复的“12月31号 王静 交历史作业”，重复的借阅记录，被压着的手抄报，有熟悉的感觉（再看到结局处老师留的作业是画手抄报），备份次数28200，都无一不在点明这个概念。然而它却不是普通的时间循环，而是一个非常有意思的概念，即剧情中提到的修复“千年虫”的问题。千年虫会使电脑不断恢复备份的记录，恰恰对应了王静在这一天一次次的重复，这是我最最喜欢的一点。电脑上不断重复的1999记录和王静不断进行的这一天是一个逻辑。
另外，“王静”这个角色让我记忆犹新。她是平凡的学生，却也是运行在我自己电脑里的程序。最让我喜欢她的一点是，当她看到电脑里显示：“《1999.12.xx》当前角色王静...备份次数28200”时，她意识到了自己是程序，然而她仍然保持着俏皮：“原来如此，这样的话，你也看得见吧？你先别退出啊，和我一起等一下happy ending吧。”
最后，故事的内核充满着对“明天”的希冀、对下个世纪的希冀。游戏完美呈现了千禧年人们对于新世纪的忐忑不安和期待。
打通normal ending和happy ending后，我有两个疑问。“注意真实日期”是谁写的 ？（我怎么知道的）这句话的内涵是什么？是不是也是在说王静经历了这一天很多次？
我很喜欢你们的作品，因为我也是中国人，对这种怀旧学生生活的氛围十分喜爱。可以加个联系方式吗？我想和作者亲自讨论这款游戏！
@thanatosisanoob Thank you!!!!
@ao-85 Thank you so much for loving our game!!! :)
@jooooooise 感谢游玩！我们想表达的感情能传达到真是太好了！
@lvdou2nd 感谢长评！我们真的很感动！谢谢您喜欢我们的游戏！在这里回答一下您的问题，“注意真实日期”其实是我们关于多次循环的暗示，意味着主角在经历多次循环的过程中逐渐意识到了一些不对劲的地方，可能是主角在某次循环中想要抓住世界真相的尝试吧:) 。如果您有想讨论的问题欢迎加我的微信（psuedonym434）！
the slice of life setting is so specific and nostalgic, a quiet town in december 1999 with homework, a record store and the same songs on the radio is a lovely place to spend some time. the cassette and the town bell are good hooks, they make the ordinary school day feel like it's hiding something. did you grow up with that kind of town, or did you research the period for the details? really charming.
@perrarancino Thank you so much for playing our game and feeling the atmosphere we want to create! One of our team members grew up in a city similiar to this, and all of us really love the feeling of old and quiet small town, and we have referenced some films. Thank you again for playing and comment!
@lvdou2nd 非常感谢您的评论！！抱歉再次回复了一次但是我们的美术非常想要再次亲自感谢您一次所以又回复了一条！非常感谢您如此用心地体验了我们的游戏的不同结局和游玩过程中的感受，也特别特别惊喜您体会到了我们游戏想要传达的这种对“未来”的迷茫和期待交织的情感。我认为世纪之交的氛围正是这样一种情绪达到顶峰的时刻，也是这个时间背景下天然的一种社会气质。受限于制作时长我们没能呈现出我们全部的想法，只能挑选核心内容进行制作，所以您能体验到我们想传达的内容真的非常感动......再次感谢您体验我们的游戏！（联系方式加我们之前发的就可以了谢谢大人！）
确实挺符合题目的，这种过去的生活的感觉，不知不觉自己也长大了，看着对过去日子的怀念，以前还觉得2016年是昨天，仔细想想已经十年过去了，十年之间发生了太多太多，bgm也很有那种悠扬放松的感觉，就是感觉开头黑屏太久了，我还以为游戏坏了，不过确实是一个很棒的小游戏！ It indeed aligns well with the theme. This feeling of past life, I've grown up imperceptibly. Looking back at the nostalgia for the past days, I used to feel like 2016 was just yesterday, but upon careful reflection, it's already been ten years. So much has happened in these ten years, and the background music (BGM) also has a melodious and relaxing feel. The only thing is that the black screen at the beginning lasted too long, and I thought the game was broken. Nevertheless, it's indeed a wonderful little game!
@dirtycoat 感谢游玩！是的......总感觉随着年龄增长时间也越来越快了，我们也经常有那种觉得近在眼前的事情其实仔细想想已经七八年/八九年了的时刻，如果能让您稍微感受到一点过去的气氛就太好了！开头的黑屏是因为如果不放完音效就会出现一些场景缺失的神秘bug，非常抱歉TVT
The way you captured the feeling of that specific time—the blend of mundane student life and subtle, uncanny undercurrents—is really effective. It feels like a quiet moment in time, only to realize there's something much deeper happening beneath the surface. Great work on this highly atmospheric piece!
@eugenik Thank you for playing our game!!! It's glad for us to know we created an enjoyable atmosphere for you!!!
Really well done game, great job! Atmosphere is really nice and felt somehow almost melancholic for me
@arfenalis Thank you so much for loving our game!!!
说实话，我感觉RPG不是JAM中常见的游戏类型，这款游戏也不是我喜欢的类型。正常来说，我会倾向于看一些有趣的玩法，因此我只打了overall和innovaation分数。innovation分数偏低，希望可以谅解（毕竟没有看到新鲜的玩法）。不过从评论来看，剧情确实是花了很多心思，并且制作出的是一款完善的游戏，因此给的overall分数还是挺高的。 To be honest, I feel like RPG isn’t a very common genre in game jams, and it’s not really the type of game I personally enjoy. Normally I tend to look for interesting gameplay ideas, so I only rated Overall and Innovation. I gave a relatively low score for Innovation, and I hope you can understand. That said, from the comments it’s clear that you put a lot of thought into the story, and the game is quite polished, so I still gave a fairly high Overall score.
@crotonyl-alcohol 谢谢您的游玩和回复！很中肯的评价，感谢您的用心！使用rpg作为载体确实不是很常见的制作方向，我们选择的原因也是出于制作组个人能力和喜好，以及考虑到这次的主题的综合想法吧，所以制作重心也更偏向叙事的一方了，在创新性上自认确实不是很足够。谢谢您直接看到并点出这一点，之后我们也会考虑在其他方向继续探索的，也感谢您给出的overall分数！ Thank you for playing and for your feedback! It's really an insightful comment, and we truly appreciate your thoughtful input. Using RPG as a medium isn't a particularly common choice, and our decision was based on the team's individual strengths, personal preferences, and an overall consideration of the theme. So we focused more on the storytelling, which admittedly may not have been sufficiently innovative. We're grateful that you directly pointed this out, and we'll certainly keep exploring in different directions moving forward. Thanks again for your overall rating!
thank you for this rpg maker gem
@orpheus Thank you soooo much for playing and leaving this comment! ;) I'm not sure if you've experienced the other endings of our game yet. If not, feel free to give them a try! We've made CGs for all 3 endings, and I hope you'll enjoy them!
沉浸感和氛围塑造上的细节做得太好了！以及对于主题old tech的诠释也很深入，想起以前玩橙光游戏和一些视觉小说的时光。
@bay-l 感谢游玩！我们也是因为喜欢玩视觉小说/jrpg等一类游戏才有了做这个游戏的灵感，希望您可以喜欢！
OMG I LOVE THE CUTEEEEE main character, I was trying this in class with my taiwanesee friend next to me it was pretty nice playing the game togather :3
@sheaksadi OMG thank you soooo much for loving our main character! Now it's the art designer replying so I'm very glad and proud that you like her! ;) Also thank you for playing our game with your friend! Maybe playing this game in class will be more immersive? ^-^
Cute game. It has a very relaxed vibe to it. It has a bit too much reading for my taste but I can appreciate how you were trying to tell a story and make this a narrative. The idea of records and cassettes as "old tech" is interesting given that both are seeing revivals recently.
@awp Thank you so much for playing and leaving a comment!!!!
