I really enjoyed the demo, and the quirky fruit aspect didn't seem jarring at all; it felt like the zombie zeitgeist had passed, but there's clearly new, fruit-themed avenues to explore! The characters have distinct personalities that are well-articulated without reducing them to pat stereotypes, and I enjoy the way that they interact among themselves, especially Marisol and Elijah! Their friendship is just very endearing, and I appreciate the variety of interaction options available with all of the characters. I also liked the bits of background info sprinkled throughout the demo, and I'm interested in learning more as the game goes on. I'm not convinced that the MC isn't just hallucinating the others as fruit-people, possibly to cope with the stress of the situation, but I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out. Nice job!
