Evaluation

*this was for you.* is a free-to-play visual novel created by Watercress as a submission for NaNoRenO 2019 — a game jam with a defined scope. The store description presents it as a complete, self-contained experience with a fixed word count (~8,000 words), full voice acting, and entirely in-house assets. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no post-launch update history, and no developer communications indicating any planned additions. The game was released on August 14, 2019 as a finished product and has remained unchanged since. It launched complete by design.
