UPDATE: I'm finally all caught up on the visual novel so far.
Noticed some deviations from the web comic already, not that I dislike it. I think, in this format, we get a much better sense of what life is like in the setting. It's a lot darker than I think the web comic portrayed. Ravenna getting hate mail, abuse at school, etc.
Although I would suggest crowds and news reports on TV to add depth and detail. That always seems to help with immersion.

Good idea. I was considering showing a TV report in the background or something but I'm running out of scenes in chapter one in which to do that.

Hey all!
I just thought to check in around here again and was pleasantly surprised to see a new thing happening
My thoughts on the visual novel so far:
1) This is a lot like a dating sim, complete with music.
2) Compared to the web comic, it feels more immersive.
3) I wonder if there will be different options and/or paths the player can take?
So, I hope this keeps up and doesn't get suddenly dropped because it does seem like it could turn into something good.

This is my introduction to 2214. Apparently this was a fairly long-running web comic from what I've read around here. I do like the story development so far.
It doesn't matter if the glass is half empty or half full. There's clearly enough room for more wine.

After the latest scene, I can only think of one thing:
I want that air scooter.
