Artistic presentation and audio presentation are 5/5. 

Really my only notes I have are that sometimes it's a little jarring when there's narrative text, because it'll be in quotes and MC's nameplate will be present in the textbox, so in non voiced sections, there's confusion on when Maru is talking vs having internal thoughts.

I'm interested to see what future builds bring to the table, I think the team had an amazing first impression with this first build

A really strong start, amazing atmosphere, great characters. I was honestly was surprised at how long and dense the first build was, if you had told me that this was on it's second or third build with the amount of story there is to chew on, I'd believe you. 

Definitely need to give this a reread, and definitely got to let others know about it.

I look forward to your future work 💙

Just read through it, and I think this is one of the most interestingly executed vns I've read. I'm super on board with the unorthodox presentation that BtHr has going on, and patiently await when it comes off hiatus. I know the next update will be worth the wait, no matter what 💙

It was really nice seeing Cody's creative process in this. One of my biggest things I wanted to see in the intro was his movie, and seeing him dream this up was everything I wanted it to be and more. Can't wait to see future side stories 💙

The latest update is everything I could have ever wanted and further cements my interest in this project. Can't say anything, it's best experienced blind. I can say that this is shaping up to be one of my favorite vns and we're only two builds deep~

Even though what I read may not be the longest, it shows a lot of promise. The things done with ui and visuals? THe music? The prose of the narration? I am locked in and excited to see what the future holds for Edenbound

Came here for slice of life vibes and objectifying hot guys, stayed for the realistic depiction of a small town queer trying to navigate life in the city and grappling with the traumas built up as we have more freedoms to be ourselves

Literally have too much to say, I can't begin to gush about this vn enough. The conversation that Moriah and Eddy have made me think of many of a similar caliber I've had with my friends, they're both just like me frfr. But in all seriousness, reading a nice, realistic depiction of the queer experience is just... really nice. I honestly cried when I saw the in memoriam at the end of the build message

I've been slowly been reading this over the last few weeks, needing to take breaks here and there because of how emotional the narrative could get me. A genuinely beautiful story that has stunning art and amazing sound design and sound track to weave together a truly unforgettable story. I'd love to say what I love specifically, but I'd hope just gushing about it will help any on the fence go ahead and take a chance on it. I hope anybody reading this enjoys it as much as I have
