I'm speechless! The game is so big and polished, if it was not for the wip cinematics I would have feel like playing a commercial one. I loved everything about it, specially the art and the cozy-mystery ambient. The lore and the city lore and distribution remminded me a lot of Night in the Woods, which is one of my favourite games so of course I was totally in love with it. Your characters are also really charismatic and well written (loved Louise and the cat the most!).
I found a couple things, so I'm letting you know in case it helps. First, the tunnel entry (the one that is unlocked from the other side when going down first time) has a white contorn to it when it's locked. Second one, when going down to investigate for the second time, a dialogue reads "<size:15em>ROOOAR".
In a nutsell, very in love with the game! You did an amazing job :)
