I really enjoyed this. I usually don't like to read stuff, but this just seemed interesting to me from the start and it didn't bore me at any time. The artwork was really pretty and I liked how you made all the different kinds of characters and their personalities. The story development was also very good. It's was very mysterious and sad. I liked the ending a lot. Really beautiful and creative story. Keep up the good work!! I really enjoyed it :3.
Reviews for "Beyond Darkness"
Engaging story, good use of visuals, good music. A few typos which distract from the story-telling, but nothing I couldn't overlook. The bug in day 4 that makes it impossible to advance is frustrating, but I got through after a few tries. The whole thing is a really interesting look into how depression and suicidal ideation work vs. reality. It's kind of weird that the ending you don't die in is the downer, but that's a twist I liked.
The bug in day 4 seems to relate to the fade-in/out effect. I'd take a guess that you're accepting keyboard input before you're ready to deal with advancing the black backdrop to the lecture hall backdrop, and it's messing with dialogue loading.
I got tired of pressing "S" a hundred times to get through a rather boring story. I didn't even get to make an actual action. At some point in Day 4 it just got stuck (empty dialog box, black background). Didn't feel like restarting it and pressing "S" 100 times again.
At this point I can't even tell if it's a game or a movie which pauses all the time and you need to press "S" to continue.

A visual novel... I don't know how many times I have to say that .-.
There was a few mistake here and there, but I could brushed aside.
At the beginning, I was like-
"OK, kinda cliched. A pretty girl having a perfect life with friends and family. Then, there is a mysterious girl who have the opposite."
Then stuff start happening.
I got to say, even though I might have seen this type of story before, it's good.
I must also thank you for inspiring me to get up and face the world.
The music is good.I like it.
