As a long time VN reader I cannot overstate how engrossed I was while reading the prologue of Kill the Night. The dev definitely wears his inspirations on his sleeve, but in a way that shows an incredible understanding of why those inspirations worked in the first place. The character writing flows in a way that few visual novels do, and the atmosphere is meticulously crafted. idk man honestly any notes I've got on this one are borderline nitpicky. I'm eagerly awaiting more.

I assume you reuploaded the game, so I am getting it from here! Played some, I am fond of it! The soundscape feels good as an atmospheric setup.
