This demo was amazing! I can't wait to see the full version. The voice acting and artwork are very well done, the atmosphere and music are well placed, and the conversations between Crowe and the MC feel natural, even when choosing hostile/defensive answers.

Interestingly enough, while the 'hostile/defensive' choices might make the MC appear weak-willed because she gives in anyway, I actually think it drives the point home that, realistically speaking, if you were to wind up stuck in a stranger's home out in the middle of nowhere with no SAFE alternative for leaving, your safest option is to be on your best behavior--Especially after being saved from freezing to death in the wilderness. That being said, I was actually surprised at being offered the option to throw a tantrum over being undressed and re-dressed given that this is the proper way to treat prolonged exposure to the cold.

As for the choices, how each one pans out subtly changes the atmosphere between Crowe and the MC in a believable way, and allows for Crowe's personality to flow steadily between him being a 'sweet, low-key manipulator' and a 'hot-blooded fanatic'. 

Overall, I feel that Crowe's character, specifically his personality and dialogue in general, are the best part of this game. In a way, it's hard to describe, but when compared to the more extreme yandere types I have seen in games, Crowe's oddly mature yet fun-loving personality is strangely appealing. So much so, that I quickly found myself forgetting that he's a yandere type--until the moments that he is alone or panicked where it briefly peeks out. On a side note, I don't know if you plan on adding 'intimate' scenes, but Crowe and the MC's chemistry is off the charts--so kudos on that as well.

The only thing I could perceive as 'needing work' is that Day 2 feels rushed compared to Day 1, but it's also where the demo ends, so for all I know, there could be more to that day.

Another thought that crossed my mind while playing was that Crowe was stated to be in his late twenties or early thirties, and yet he looks much younger than that. It doesn't really matter (because anime), but it caught me off guard for a second.

All in all, I came for the yandere romance and thrills, and am super excited to see the finished product now.  Well done! ^_^
