One Last Salty Kiss

This is the start of many episodes to come.

Btw. So far its a 10/10 XD I'm loving this. 

Amazing. I'm simply overjoyed to know that there are still those who want to write classical love stories about a man who loves a woman. I believe that everybody is free to write or create anything they want to, the thing is nowadays there is this "common sense" that is not allowed anymore to create romance without lgbt context. Is this or you are prejudice. I particularly prefer the "old fashioned one", something difficult to find on the platform.

For me the sexual part was not a problem at all, in fact I felt it was necessary in order to demonstrate how deep their passion was and, like you said, everything after was love.

Thank you for delivering such a beautiful and touching story; I'm sure that I'll never forget this experience, it was almost like a could feel the pain, the desperation and the passion of Michele.

I wish all the best for your career and hope you can bring more of this lovely experiences in the future.

Hi. I just got done playing this game about 20 minutes ago and I knew I needed to write this. Firstly, well done. That was one of the best stories I've ever had the honor to experience. I expected to go in and it'd be a sweet but typical romance, but this broke me and left me in tears. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so happy I stumbled upon it today. This is going to stay with me for a long time, if not forever. I'm definitely going to have to see what else you come up with!

I was wondering when the sexual content was going to come into play in the last 1/3 considering the circumstances, but it worked out in the end. Tears were shed once done. This was so lovely.

Now don't mind me as I peruse your previous works...

Ho adorato un sacco questa storia mi ha fatto piangere molto ma anche riflettere. Mi sono quasi sentito Michele e quando parlava con Azzurra del fatto che se ne doveva andare mi veniva da piangere per lui. Hai fatto un fantastico lavoro continua così.

First I just want to say holy shit. What have you made is so beautiful and cute and lovable but it's making me cry. Congratulations on being the first H-game to make me cry more from my eyes then the other hole 100/10 would play again but I don't think my heart can take another round. Great job.

very well done visual novel, it's beautiful  , i cried while  reading it since the moment it  was clear how things would turn out to the end.

The game is a hidden gem, made an account just because I want to say thank you to the developer for making this game. The story was simple and yet unforgettable, the art style fits perfect with the mood of the game. I knew its going to be a sad game but i wasn't expecting to burst of tears at the end. One of the most sad but yet wholesome game I've played, thank you.

I love this whole history <3

I knew I was going to cry from reading the title itself, but I wasn't expecting such a brilliant way to steer the plot.

Honestly, I rarely come across such noveles, but when there is such a combination of romance and sadness, my heart breaks and tears start to appear.

I'm not some kind of expert in these areas, but I just wanted to point out that the author of this game did a really wonderful job, and the time spent on this game, was really well spent, even though there is a strong heat at my place, I had to read this to the end at all costs <3

i loved this. 

with my whole heart. 

the emotions you could tell were real, if not strong. the music set the mood the whole time. I really do love this.

I'm not very good with words, so i'm struggling writing this, but I do want to let you know that this work moved  me. it was beautiful, every bit of it is perfect. 

others say that the sexual scene doesn't go, but in my opinion it fits in perfectly. 

this game made me feel emotions i havent felt in a while. (good ones)

just, all in all, amazing game. 100/10. i cant get enough of it. 

Wow, just wow.

I was not expecting this. I didn't expect to feel such emotions, I can tell you put your heart and soul into this game and it shows.

a bit of criticism 

I feel the sexual element of the game was unnecessary, this would've been incredible without. 

P.s this made me cry and I haven't cried in years

Made an account solely to post this comment. I hope you still look at these, because to me, your game is really impactful. What might seem to others like some niche indie game, its really a story everyone could read and take something away from. The story is so sad, that the sexual nature feels out of place, but if not, it wouldn't be what it is. As a dude, its hard to talk about feelings or even tear up, but I did, quite a few times. It's about 6am right where I am, and I feel this ecstasy coming over me, like I could have just missed this game or skipped over it. However, I am extremely glad I did not, even if it costed me my sleep and energy for work. I took something away from this novel, and it would be that it is much better to explore memories, even ones that are extremely painful, instead of repressing them which, it will bring some solace. I really appreciate what you made, as this little novel has made my entire night, and I will remember it. Props to you and the beautiful work you do!

I really loved the game, it's a really cool story, and the art is simply amazing, I even cried at the end

Andrea, I profusely apologize to you for not commenting earlier [not that your life would depend on it, though)].
I read OLSK a year ago. As a seasoned VN reader I was confident, 'Nah, no onions. Nope, the story is predictable. No way in ren...py will it make me cry, there is no voicing even.'
And yet I was crying. I don't know how you did it, but I was crying.
And the ending is just great, though I expected the MC to leave.
The CG with the half-transparent marine silhouette is a great embodiment of the whole story.

PS I hadn't cried after losing some girls in Katawa Shoujo, I wasn't crying while playing some grim VNs, but Azzurra and Giovanni...

Italian player here. WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD

Man... this story was heartbreaking, i legit cried for 10 minutes after closing the game. Clever writing, good artworks, likeable characters, you did a great job with their personalities too!

Overall, a really well developed mature and deep experience =)

A bit of a spoiler here! 

Hey, I would like to thank you for this wonderful game. No words can describe what I felt after playing this game. It's like a feeling of bitterness with a drop of happiness. Bittersweet? I think that's the word. I really can't thank you enough, and I didn't realize it until now that memories should be treasured, no matter how cruel or happy it could be. All in all, I love your game and the characters, especially the story. It's kind of realistic with a pinch of fiction. But I love what I saw though, a hard punch of reality isn't bad, after all it is where we are right now. So once again, thank you for making this wonderful game. 

P.S. It made me cry though, and it sure is worth a tear drop, although I cried like child (yep, I'm exaggerating a bit but I really cried) 

Hi! i'm a fan of your work and because of this i would know if in the future, will this game comes on Steam?

No words to describe how emotional this was.. what a journey this story has been.. everything was fantastic! from the beautiful art to the soothing music and waves.. you dear developer made something that dug damn near hearts and I'm sure everyone who has experienced this will agree with that!  looking forward to future masterpieces!

I finished this visual novel a few minutes back and man, it was such an emotional rollercoaster for me :'(. I wanted to let you know from the bottom of my heart that I truly appreciate your work and thank you for creating this piece of art. 

Here is my review of OLSK!

Hello Andrea,

I've just finished reading One Last Salty Kiss....and I have to say it is an outstanding work! After going through the extra's galleries, I can see how much work you put into every detail of this novel: from characterization to background art, to sprite details.... Every last element of this story is perfect.

Thank you for creating such an enjoyable Visual Novel.

I was searching for a eroge with a bit romance and then i end up in this game and man..isn't what i was expecting.Is not full of hentai,but i just loved it,i loved so much all the atmosphere and the history.I loved this beatiful ending

I just have read this VN in russian translation made by some enthusiast. And I remembered why I love visual novels so much. You know, a lot of novels which are translated to Russian language are full of hentai, ecchi and similar content. But it weren't, aren't and will never be the main advantages of such games.  The soul. The atmosphere of this game made me crazy after passing this one. 

I felt a great number of emotions. And they are priceless. That's why it's a 5-star game IMHO. Maybe I just tired of endless hentai in VNs but I really love this game!

*Sorry for my bad english if you don't understand something :) *

[Spoiler Warning]
That was pretty good, but overall I think it felt pretty drawn-out. When he asks Giovanni about Azzurra, then he gets back to the spot to meet with her, I was honestly feeling like I just want it to be over.  Luckily his time with her after that saves it, but then again once it comes back to Giovanni, my interest fluctuated again. 

Tbh I wasn't drawn in from the very beginning. It only got interesting for me when the truth behind her starts being undiscovered. I think a big factor in that is the art style. I would have preferred a more serious style especially cause the story does get pretty serious, I feel like it would have made more impact if it wasn't so cartoon. (Mind that this is the first vn I read from you tho)
For almost the whole time, I wasn't really interested in the visuals, and was just looking at the text box. I think this was a factor why I felt so tired after reading, as I was just focusing on that rather that occasionally looking around. I don't think this means it necessarily needs more backgrounds/cg but the bgs were just so simple that I already processed what they are the first time I saw them.

Despite not being too interested in Giovanni's parts, I think you did a good job on circling it around at the end. Him inviting him for food like he did at the start. I felt like actually showing the dinner was unnecessary tho. It could have just ended with him being hired, then you could have shown the last part with Azzurra the next morning as an epilogue after the credits imo. Him being hired already felt like a good ending, and you could have given the players time to process that if you showed the credits right after. I think I would have cared about his last meeting with her more if I have processed him being hired already.

Thinking back to it now, I liked the story. But I could have taken it in a shorter time, and I would still have the same enjoyment.

Wow... What a ride that was! Aside from a few grammar/technical errors (characters speaking lines when it was meant to be Michele's inner monologue), I'd call this perfect!
