I like this. The art style is adorable and cute. the dialogue is really well written, you can really tell that Frankie knows these people well, and that he(?)'s kinda gonna miss the very nice uh... cult. Definitely an interesting concept. I like these characters quite a lot actually, I think you could make a pretty good full VN with these guys if you wanted to. Overall, good submission!

I love the art style! And what we have of the dialogue is really great, feels natural. I can completely relate to moving toward a VN style for time reasons, we did almost the same thing. Great job, and I hope this gets further completed if you have time in the future! I'd love to see Father Lupus, and more of the compound.
Thanks!

Very pretty visual novel that felt like it has potential.

Summary:

Adherence To Theme
  • You pack your bags to leave "the pack". Excellent idea!
Game Design
  • It's somewhat of a visual Novel / Adventure mix, I like it.
  • The dialogue felt meaningful and expressive although in this Demo somewhat inconsequential.
  • I found the items to not have much of an effect, I could trade an Item with Erika but that's it, I hope I'm not missing something here.
Originality
  • Original Story and characters (as far as I know), all one can ask for.
Style
  • The graphics of the characters where very well drawn and you had a concise presence of a visual style in it throughout the gang. 
  • The UI and Textboxes where not over stylized but also not understated, they fit very well with the aesthetics of the game.
  • The music was bit obnoxious after the 5th loop and I feel for a novel type feel, a bit more atmospheric would help a lot. Or scrap the music entirely in favor of some sound effects, if time was a problem (Which I'm sure it was, at least for me, art was a huge time consumer...)

Overall

Pretty solid entry, I would replay it on continuation, or if you tell me I missed something big.
