I loved the music direction and the sprites! It was a unique Mashup for sure, but I loved how the color pallot made the photo backgrounds match the sprites. The only one that felt out of place was the office at the beginning; given the other aesthetics, I would have pictured something more open with greens and browns and artificial plants, though it may have been intentional to start with a more clinical scene.
I read this one through twice; the first time, I had some difficulty putting everything together, but the second time became much clearer. The themes in this one hit home for me.
I recently lost both parents within a couple months if each other to terminal cancer, and specifically have struggled with some of the ideas explored, such as feeling that I'm not able to live up to their expectations, and not letting my life be controlled by someone who isn't even around anymore. Therapy has been quite helpful, and frankly I wish I had looked into it years ago.
The portion mentioning the sketches left me wanting to see what they looked like, rather than just reading a description, hence the 'visual' part of visual novel. I do realize all of us were on a tight schedule, and didn't necessarily get to implement everything we wanted. I would just suggest adding that in after the game jam.
