Interesting game. I must say that I have had a significant shortage of well-written FVNs lately, since I finished all the games and routes with Echo and while other FVNs that interest me are not written yet. I feel like Echo was a big inspiration when writing this game. A lot of similar elements in the general outline of the plot and even style. (There was even a saying about "running in circles", but it had no significant plot significance and I doubt it was a reference or more of my oversensitivity because I am very autistic towards echo xD) I would like to write a more detailed assessment of the game, but I prefer to refrain from doing so when this is only the first build. So for now I'm just saying that I like it and it's interesting. However, I do have one serious concern. No facial expressions for characters in the game. I don't know if you make the sprites yourself or someone else does them. They are very pretty, but the lack of facial expressions makes me a bit confused while reading. It spoils the way I perceive events in the game. Especially if something dramatic was going to happen and the character was smiling or vice versa. Of course, I'm guessing that adding something like this is either extra time or necessary funds or both. But are you planning to add something like this? In my opinion, this will improve the game a lot.
