I absolutely love this. I was hooked from the opening animation before you even got to the game menu! Like what?!?! You all put so much effort into the game's presentation that it really paid off when there weren't that many backgrounds or sprite poses to emphasize certain parts of the narrative. I don't think the game fits the spooky tag because it's more gothic literature or historical fiction. I suggest adding a gothic/gothic fiction tag to your itchio page and playing into that niche for VNs. Good job!
