I took a break and checked out your game! Wow, I have to say it was really really interesting. Your writing really drew me in even though I don't usually read stories with a medieval setting and I am quite unfamiliar with a lot of the terms and setting. But it was fun learning about the Eastern European landscape in the Middle Ages... this is definitely new for me! I really like the subtle BGM... it is a great accompaniment for the story without giving away too much of what's to come. I kind of went around in circles a little when I got to the part where I was supposed to explore the village, but I really appreciate how the choices change and they guide you back to where you are supposed to go. Are there different endings to Chapter 1? I got myself in trouble at the end! LOL!
One thing I would prefer though is having the option to rollback to a previous choice, and a history log for the VN so that I can go back and refer to details that came up before. But other than that I really like the game and the format that you've chosen! The hand-drawn illustrations really add to the experience!! I can't wait to see what eventually happens in the story!!!
