Usually it takes me a couple of hours to get into these games. But you sir got my attention in 10 minutes.
No time wasting in getting into the sandbox element. The character models are fantastic. You're not afraid of showing older people having wrinkles and not being 100% perfect. Yes some might say its uncanny valley but they would be hypocritical as almost ALL VNs have that affect.
I really hope you stick with this and come to completion. This really is a standout, not just in terms of visuals but also the story and world building.
