Very well written. I included it in my PowerPoint Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)
Thank you so much for giving it a shot! It certainly made clear that I should have hinted more at the objects and people being clickable haha! And thanks a lot about the kind comments on the art, while I can't really accept the compliments on the story as it is Gibson's work :)
Subbed!
Despite being just a demo, Barfly shows definitely stunning example of visual novelty rendition and accurate performance. If of any points, making it a cliffhanger went oh damn so well!
Yee: flashy UI, fitting soundtrack, item flavor text, intriguing plot, overall aesthetics
Nay: choices don't really matter(well it's for novel adaptation anyway), too short ;p

omg thank you so much
I absolutely want to make choices matter in the full version, but honestly I felt I couldn't match that writing quality in time.
