Notes from gameplay: 

- Beautiful art for main menu. I like the shadowed sidebar for the options

- Music would be nice here

- Awesome preferences menu, especially text speed. Unsure what Auto-forward time does

- Nice job with help menu

- Load is nice, assuming there will be an option to save later

- Nice chill background music. 

- Splash art conveys coffee shop. AI generated?

- Cute customer sprite, nice voice acting

- Dialog default volume is low. Inconsistent volume levels between characters

- Nice consistent anime style for the characters

- Volume adjustment for voice vs music (making voice higher) seemed to do the opposite

- some typoes, such as heero agency

- Writing could use editing for spelling/grammar and to punch up the word choices. 

- Screen's gone black?

- Nice creepy voice for villain

- Auto is a cool option

- I like the subtle animations, like veil's eyes going wide when he says shit

- Ooh creepy nosebleed on Veil

- Nice effect with heartbeat noise and animation

- Ah it's done

This was a nice demo. I think the writing could use some improvement and editing - since writing is such a strong focus of your work, it needs to be exciting, easy to read and well-written enough to keep readers hooked. A great start! Good luck as you continue.

not very on brand for a graveyard/cemetary secrets spooky game, but a fine story
