Really cool art and music! Looks fun to play and I'm interested to see more. Unfortunately I did get the ending cutscene right after the 1st house so thought that was all there was to play, until I read the description.
I think it would be cool to break up the story exposition into a few segments. Maybe do the first half of it, then play the first house, then explain more gradually as you go along? Otherwise it's quite a long opening cutscene. I think splitting it up would add to the sense of mystery!
