The first 5 minutes were boring to get through with stiff and static models and I was seriously considering how long I should give it before I gave up on the game.
But thank god I didn't: The characters, the world, the mystery, the dialogue. This is one of the best VN's I have seen and I'm pretty sure I'm reaching around 100 in total now. Played through the first 3 chapters in one go just now and pledged on Patreon not even 60 seconds after finishing it.
I could name dozens of things that make this better than most things you could download here or anywhere else, and this game is free. Great job.
If I could give one tip: please expand your itch.io page for the game, the lack of information and any links to discord and Patreon give this game a less polished feel than the product itself. It feels to me like you are underselling it.
