Just finished the demo and I'm very much looking forward to the full game! There's so much care and attention-to-detail put into the worldbuilding in the story so far that I'm really looking forward to how the plot and the romances play out!
I love Allison, she's not the most skilled or the most knowledgeable but she's willing to push past her fears to step out of her comfort zone and make the best of a crappy situation. I love her design as well and the visible sprite + her expressions! Really added to the experience of watching the story play out.
Between Chess and Lonnie, Chess was definitely more my type at first glance but I do appreciate that through the common route, Allison spends time getting to know and befriend both of them. The friendships feel natural and organic. I have to say when I saw KOTA thooooooo hahaha.... Kota romance when? ;)
The music was great, as was the UI (really love that ticking clock detail on the main menu!) and the logo, the game overall has a high degree of polish that is extremely impressive (along with the length + story polish) for a jam entry!
edit: oh, I had to edit to add the one line that made me laugh so hard for some reason--Allison picking up the sand on the beach and letting it fall, then Chess saying "Ah, it got in my eye" LOOOL i laughed for like 3 minutes straight.
