Very enjoyable. I got ending 3, precisely the one I desired to happen, glad the game had it. I ended up loving the demon character, which I think is a 'demon' only in name and appearance.

I liked the quasi-retro design of the characters, Was the demon design inspired by the 'Vrock' from D&D? I like the pallete and sharpness of the sprites, but I think the demon should have a bigger eye design so its eye-shifting anymation is more noticeable.

I felt echoes of your previous work 'I'll Come See You' on this one.

The music selection is great. A few more sound effects here and there would improve the reading experience. No flaws to point out in the backgrounds/CGs. It would be great if the whole novel could have been done with drawn backgrounds.

I'm looking foward to see more VNs from Cryoslight. I have nothing but respect for a fellow Dev who does things solo, including the art.

And a shout out for having individual versions of the game for both Win, Mac, and Linux. That is the way to do it, IMHO.

Wow, thank you for the thorough comment! I'm glad you had a good time with the game. I also would have loved to add more sound effects and have custom backgrounds, but there was no time.

I've never played D&D so I'm not familiar at all with its creatures. I'm sure I was subconsciously inspired by some other designs, though, as it's hard to avoid that. Oh! I think I stole the eyes from the yahg species from Mass Effect. I wanted the demon to have small eyes so that they wouldn't appear too cute, haha.

I'm really happy you picked up on the fact that the demon may not necessarily even be a demon! They never said they were. Perhaps the human characters just like to make assumptions.
