### 3/5 — 원래 이런가요?

*2022-01-16*

이야기 진행이 조금 이상해요.
등장인물들이 자꾸 제가 선택하지 않은 화제에 대해 이야기합니다.
엔딩 하나 보고 다시 플레이 중인데 의도된 부분인가요?

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 버프스튜디오입니다.
말씀하신 부분이 어느 챕터인지 내용만으로는 확인이 어렵습니다.
해당 내용과 관련 스크린샷을 help@buffstudio.com으로 보내주시면 빠르게 확인해보도록 하겠습니다.

### 5/5 — 스토리가 너무 재밌어요

*2022-01-09*

인물관계와 전개가 아주 탄탄하고, 다음 스토리가 궁금해서 손을 뗄 수가 없었습니다. 이경 이라는 주인공에게 점입가경 으로 빠져들게 되네요..!

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요 푼젤이님 버프스튜디오입니다.
회차를 거듭할수록 다양한 전개가 펼쳐지니 모든 엔딩을 수집할때까지 긴장을 늦추지 마시길 바랍니다^^ 그럼 재미있게 이용해주시기 바라며 새해 복 많이 받으시길 바랍니다.
감사합니다.
