I liked the sprites and backgrounds in the game! However, the humor wasn't quite my speed and I felt like I had no say in the romance route that I went down which felt odd for a visual novel. In some regard, I'm not even sure if I finished the game? Since I was kicked back out to the main menu and the story seemed to restart without much change.
I think you've got a good base, but I'd recommend giving the player more agency in how the story shapes. Additionally, I recommend going through and syncing up the writing style. Having a statement with a nameplate one sentence and then an "x says,...." the next is a bit jarring.
Keep up the good work!
This was a weird one, the jokes didn't really land with me and all of the horror segments were very meh. I know that this is more 'spooky themed' than anything else, but I really just didn't find this game interesting. I think the art is good, and it might have worked better if used in a more interesting way.
Thank you for the feedback! May I ask if you played all routes or just one? And if just one, which one? This will help me find exactly where I need to improve.
