CloseI don't like visual novels, but I'm okay with the other two (I like stories that ARE mysteries, but I despise stories about "an x, y, or z that SOLVES mysteries"). Maybe I will.
It's not really about solving a mystery so much as it is about a mysterious circumstance. The game's less than an hour long, so if you don't like it, it's not much of an investment.
I played this today! I'm still not sure if I'll leave a review, and my initial feelings probably aren't too helpful! Mostly the writing wasn't my cup of tea, but I wouldn't say it's a bad game or anything.
I did notice a couple minor typos, but it didn't affect my enjoyment:
"...But no one laughs, because here's no one else on the car."
-When Gale first gets into the car
"Besides she looks like of cute sleeping like that."
- When Irene naps on Gale
"The sudden change in her demeaner throws me off."
-When Irene comes into Gale's compartment

One thing I completely forgot to mention - Gale's ambiguous gender was interesting! I played with a friend who read him as a guy, while I happened to read her as a gal. It didn't seem that important in the grand scheme of things, but I thought it was a neat little detail.

Very short, but very nice!
Are there just two characters to talk to or did I miss someone?
I don't know if it is in your plans, but a longer version with more characters (and the protagonist revealing his/her doubts more gradually) would be very interesting.
I liked Gale's lack of a "canon" gender too: max immersion for everyone.
(The first time I played, I tried the emergency brake as soon as I saw it because I expected some wacky "what the hell are you doing" minor gag, and the game suddenly got all dramatic and philosophical on me...)

Nope, there's just those two.

The game was an experiment; now that it's released, I'm calling it done and moving on. But it was fun, so I might make something similar in the future.
