(mild spoilers for the story!)

WOW the writing is so good, the constant reminders of our hunger and otherness to these people is just *chef's kiss* so well done. the addition of red text really drives the point home, i love how you used the format of the visual novel to your advantage to really highlight those moments of hunger and weakness. i noticed the formatting of the red text is not very consistent though, sometimes the text loses the signature creepy font and is instead just red text, and sometimes the creepy font is white instead of red. that didn't feel right.

the banter! while short, the dialogue flowed so well. "I can only hope I could compete with solitude" was such a good delivery! i almost wish we conversed with the hunter a bit more but i see that this is just a demo so i'm hopeful we'll get to see more of this good dialogue c:

and the sprites! i love how you made the hunter's sprite combine so easily with the background, it legit looks like he is leaning on that bar table and that small detail just made me so happy haha

the ending is very mysterious! why did the hunter thank us? 👀 i am so very curious. im definitely going to follow your project's progress, keep up the good work!! are you going to post about your progress on any social media as well?

Developer

hello!! 

thank you so much for the love on this little demo so far! and thank you for the detailed feedback!

the coloring on the text is intentional! i was hoping, while coding, that it wouldn't feel right, like the feeling of want was bleeding into the regular,  restrained inner thoughts, and the creepy font without color was a self imposed shame without the overlay of want. but if it didnt work as well, i'll reconsider w the team for the full game!

and yes! there will be some more dialogue sections in the full game as well :) two new sections planned, as well as a little more for that current scene as well!

I think any game progress will be updated via a dev log for the game! there is a promotion post on tumblr but the game does not have a social media yet... will update via dev log if that changes!
