Hello Max Stern! I played your VN about 2 weeks ago. I played through the whole thing in two sittings (first sitting I got to the noose part, and second to the end).

I was hitting PrtScn every time I saw some sort of spelling, or grammar error, because my plan was to pack all the screenshots, and send them to you, but after first day of playing and checking my screenshot folder I noticed the game did not get captured. I do not know if it's a ren'py thing, or the game specific (I played in full screen in a dark room), but I found 12 errors until the noose part. Sorry I cannot be more helpful, than that.

I really like your character art. It reminded me of some 70s anime. If they are placeholders, then I hope you are not going to alter them too much. They are very soulful.

I don't really read VNs. I also don't read detective mysteries. All the "bad choices" take you back to the checkpoint, and it looked like there is only one correct path, so it appeared to be more of a kinetic novel experience, but I looked into your files after playing so it looks like there is more to it. The ending I got with naming yourself broke I believe rule number 4, so that wasn't really right.

I found the story to be depressing for the most part. I am not a fan of stories were introduced characters get killed one after the other, especially when they are likeable. With that said, I found the parts that were meant to be funny, funny and charming. I found it odd how some situations, and conversations were taking place even though there were murders happening. I also don't really understand how, and why other characters were so trusting of the player character.

By the way, I wanted to name the character something really normal, so I went with "John", but my other choice was "Jack", which if the VN allows for would make the whole experience much more confusing.

I wish the VN had a pth with none of the students getting killed, but I guess it is not that kind of story.

If you haven't already, I recommend you try the true ending. The rules are meant to help the player go through it again and solve the mystery, so they can trigger it at the end by naming the true culprit. For people unfamiliar with detective mysteries, it might be easier to first figure out who it is and then work through the solutions to the murders.
