This hits really hard, the finality of both the slain and the slayer's thoughts really sold this short VN. You really have a way with writing and I'd love To see a Full length novel of this world.

Thank you for playing!

The day will probably never come, but thanks!

"But her tears are something that I'm not worthy of". I am really sad now.

 Even during his last moment, you could see he had a good heart. And Clarissa having lost her purpose in life after she killed him. T_T 

As a side note, the art is so pleasing to the eye, I love the reflection on the sword, seeing  both characters reaction to the same event in this very beautiful way.

Thank you for playing!!

Yes, Evan is a good person! It's just they happened to be on the opposite side

First I want to say that I really love your art style!! I've seen several drawings of yours and always thought they were very charming and the color palette you use is very pretty!!

Now, to the story itself. GOSH, it's so heartbreaking, but also so BEAUTIFUL T_T 

I feel bad for both Evan and Clarissa. The war has trapped them in a path that neither of them really wanted but they still followed... and to see how Evan's only salvation to him was death breaks my heart into a million pieces T____T 

It goes to show how war honestly never helps anyone, it only creates despair and suffering for a lot of people.

I hope Clarissa can be happy and not be crushed by this. She has so much more to live for!!

Are we going to have a full story by O2A2 2030? :p The reflection on the sword was a nice touch.

Thank you for playing!!

Probably never haha. It's kind of hard to find the suitable resources (and time) to make the full game

I loved the writing for this one. It packs so much story in such little space and the chacters' words were tragic and thought provoking. 

Thank you for playing!!

This was a really neat snapshot that implies and tells a story of a much bigger setting. I see in the comments that 1k words wasn't enough and yeah, after finishing this I was definitely left with more questions than when I started (and would play a game of this setting, even!). But it's still its own little story wrapped up with its own conclusion, which fits o2a2.

The art, music and prose are all gorgeous! In particular I really like how we see a glimpse of Clarissa on the reflection of her blade.

Thank you for playing!!

What a great little story. Some parts felt like forced exposition but considering how short of a time you had to deliver us this story it was very well done. It felt like a classic fantasy anime,  and I very much enjoyed it. 

The character and world info were a nice surprise after reading it. 

Thank you for playing!!

Yeah... About that... 1000 words are not enough

This is so sad and beautiful! The art really adds to the story. 

Thank you for playing!!!

"Now, the world-building seems quite developed for such a short game (and congrats for conveying so much in a few words): is there another game developing it, or do you intend to create something bigger?" I asked two years ago, when I played Unsent Letter, and I'm glad to see Evan again... if we forget that he... erm... that he's seen better days.

The story was very emotional! I enjoyed that it carried the themes of the previous game in this universe, the alienation and the absurdity war is. I'm still an anti-militarist so it still spoke to me looool, but ultimately, more than in the previous game, the emotion is what caught me! I enjoyed that the game portrayed the two perspectives of Evan and Clarissa. The music track was also chosen very well, and it really tugged on my heartstrings haha!

The art was also GORGEOUS!! In the previous entry, it was quite calm, appeasing, tranquil even, "a brief moment of breathing before everything explodes again", I wrote two years ago. This time, we're after the explosion: we're at the downfall, and the piece was both serene, tragic, and, in one word, solemn. It held gravity, the type that makes you hold your breath! It truly was absolutely magnificent, and Evan is as handsome as ever, even in his death!

Thank you again for making this game, and congrats for making a game with O2A2's restrictions!

Thank you for playing!!

After finishing this game, Unsent Letter is like a fever dream. Yeah, Evan is very handsome and this soundtrack is just perfect. Even I can't stop staring at him, but omg he is dead :((

Why you gotta make me cry like this, man :(

Thanks for playing, Azure.

But I have to share the pain and suffering :"
