The narrator and Paulina are two separate characters, and I would say the story is written in third-person limited perspective. Otherwise, I don't know a Paulina in real life, and I just made up this story on the fly for the Worst Visual Novel Ever game jam. Regardless, I'm glad the story was enjoyable and thought-provoking for you.

okay, I legit LOVE the artistic direction of this VN, like it would perfectly fit a story about childhood trauma?? like sincerely, the music, the art and the GUI really were great to me dfvgfdfg
Now... this was so sad that Paulina couldn't run away, i hate you, narrator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. I didn't try in terms of art, since this was for the Worst Visual Novel Ever game jam. Yet, I did try to make the GUI unique and consistent with its art style. The music was definitely my favorite part to create and produce for this visual novel. I'm no artist or musician, but I thought all of the elements came together nicely to create a cohesive whole.
I never thought about the story representing childhood trauma, but you brought up an insightful idea there. I created the story on the fly here. So, it was never meant to be super deep to begin with.
As for the ending, there are two endings. There's a good and a bad ending, and I wanted to make the choice meaningful and significant to the plot and character. With the contrast between the last two lines of both endings, the reader can really feel that difference in emotion. I'm glad the story spoke to you as well.
I also have other short visual novels on here for free if you're interested in reading more content from me. Otherwise, have a great day!
