Ventral was a VN that kept taking me by surprise. The interview process, the resulting changes, the setup, it was all a lovely start to a story. I loved the CGs and sprites, they were very expressive- the image of all of them stood in an elevator together was really good!- and the music and sound design was superb. It also felt to me like a story about being in a game jam, which was a fun touch! I'm looking forwards to seeing more of this as it releases.
