The game is working for me after adding the extra portrait files. This was super cute and fun, feels extremely cohesive in its style, graphics and music all work really well together. I like how customizable the character building is, even if its pretty simple. The writing is short, sweet and funny, and just the basic concept of a pop idol contest turning into a blood sport tournament is pretty amusing (and I hope that poor cat is spared 😄)

So I finally got around to playing your game again with the missing files. Unfortunately, after the cutscene, it fades into a black screen and nothing happens. I waited for about 20 seconds, then I opened up the menu and tried moving around but it stays as a black screen. 

Here's a gif to show what happens:

I'm sorry for your pictures issue because overall I think it's great. I downloaded the missing files in order to experience the game as it was intended and I really enjoyed playing it, the art style is beautiful. Too bad... :(

I tried to play your game but I kept getting missing file errors. Since the presentation looked great, I tried to replace them with dummy images. This fixed the errors in the main menu but as soon as I got another cutscene, the error popped up again and I didn't feel confident that I could continue doing this. The game looks great and it's a shame that this happened. Hope you continue to work on it after the jam ends!

Love the custom art and what I ve seen so far. 
Unfortunately some face-images seem to be missing, so the game crashes when going into the menu and early on when talking to Aethcyr. Dunno if its my fault, so I will abstain from voting.
