Solid demo with great world building and likeable characters. I appreciated the content warnings, as even though I'm not easily triggered, I was playing on stream and wanted to let the audience know what they were in for. The art style is unique, and I loved the moving CGs... definitely a delightful touch. #keronindeservesbetter
First, I really appreciated the effort made for the trigger warning, being easily spooked it's important to me! It's hard to judge the story on a demo, but I really like the world building so far and Jesse. Their internal turmoil is really well done.
Also, it's probably the UI designer in me talking but I love the effect in chapter titles, so damn cool. The choice of font too and the parallax in the CG!
Good job <3
I really enjoyed the setting. At the beginning I thought the metaphor was a bit obvious, but as the VN progressed, I was able to put it aside to enjoy the story and characters. On a technical aspect, I missed some kind of rollback/history feature, and UI could be improved for readability. However, I really liked how CW where handled, as it can be tricky. Also the text effects were great. Generally, it was a cool read and I think it has potential!
Unfortunately, RPGM doesn't have a rollback feature without plugins (at least, I don't think so), but you CAN press Shift to pull up the Message backlog. Do note that it gets a little weird if you enter the menu, exit it and then pull up the backlog, though.
The wordlbuilding for this game is insanely smooth! I love how the storytelling flows so easily from scene to scene. I also enjoyed the CG effects!
