It's cool how well the backgrounds fit your character art despite the difference in styles. There's just a nice visual dynamic between the portraits, the backgrounds and the text that I really like.

You've definitely got your own writing style, it's descriptive, a bit goofy, but dead serious and even somber all at the same time. Since the story seems to continue from an earlier game, I got a bit lost in the relations and terminology. I'm guessing that you don't want any story branches, but as an alternative, you can try offering choices that don't influence the narrative but maybe temporarily shift the reader's point of view.

I enjoyed how well the music complements the rest of the game, very well picked. There's definitely a good sense of unity between all of the game's elements working together.

Thank you for the comment! I really appreciate that you took the time to write your thoughts :)

The art direction turned out better than I expected given the necessity of it, haha. I didn’t have time in February to sit down and draw, but even if I did, there’s a charm to filtered backgrounds. Plus, the perk of using background photos is that I can have as many as I want.

May I ask which parts specifically you got lost or confused by? As I’m writing the final script, it would be helpful to know where to go back and explain. Although, my kinetic novels have no choices because I like them that way. It’s a different experience than a traditional game but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. 

Glad you found a sense of unity overall, and thank you for the in-depth feedback! 

I may have just gotten lost because I'm rushing to review everything, so I'm clicking through the text before I had a chance to think about it. If there are 2 different new concepts referenced at once, I don't fully catch what the sentence was about before moving on. I don't think the writing will be confusing to someone who's sitting down to fully enjoy it and especially if they're already familiar with the world and characters. I'm also the type of player who likes making choices and remember things better in VN games when I do. It's almost certainly just a target audience mismatch with me rather than anything being wrong with the story.
