That was a fascinating experience.
I've played my fair share of visual novels, the use of 3d models certainly was a first for me, but it worked so well, especially with how quirky the story was. The models are solid, I liked how it was utilized to convey cutscenes and important narrative points. Especially liked how it was used at the beginning as a sort of pop-up display on the table.
The Ace Attorney-like detective sections was an interesting inclusion into the game.
The story overall was a funny self-aware spoof on the Thursday the 12th- I mean Friday the 13th tropes. The writing was solid. I liked Vivian as a lead and as a lens to see these wacky events unfold.
I love Jack Headed Jill and her design, I mean, c'mon how can you say no to that face.
Again, massive props to Kyle Wolf on the 3d models, I can't imagine how much time it must have took to make all that, I appreciate the fact that even the BGs were 3d rendered as well.
Gotta give style points to Fungii's 2d sprites. Personally not the type of style I gravitate towards, but gotta give credit to where credit is due, its solid character design work, everything from the line-art to the coloring.
From an audio design standpoint, can't really critique the VA's since I'm not that good at judging performances, but overall, was a neat inclusion. I also really liked the music and sound effects, it the little things that really does elevate the experience.
Personally not a big fan of the Serif font for the text, I did like whatever font was used as the names though.
Overall, a really solid indie VN game, was astonished by how lengthy it was. Bonus points for that LGBTQ+ rep. Looking forward to that full game release.
