Nice game! I had a lot of fun reading it.
The default dimensions are a little small to be comfortable as NeatGames pointed out below but fullscreen works great.

Probably not intended but it cracked me up when they started adding in "Verily".. I like how its kinda funny.

I like the music & the backgrounds, the tracks fit each chapters mood well. I don't know much about art, is it a mix of original artwork and existing art? I reverse searched the one that looked familiar and it looks like it is "Old Canal Port, New Jersey"?

I think maybe the start needs a little bit more breaking up with very short transition animations like some VNs do? Because the dialogue is long and pretty meta. I did get used to it quite quickly but transitions would help a lot imo.

(Reminds me a bit of Path of Exile's Maven & the Envoy lore but even more existential :D)
Does it branch? I picked the negative route which was cool, but it kind of suddenly ended.. I assume that is because you haven't finished yet?

I haven't finished, no... and not sure if I will any time soon, as it seems to be a viable vehicle for an abstract narrative (other games I wrote are slightly more cohesive). With regards to the art, I used old paintings, some from a century ago... thought they could still be interesting to put in a contemporary VN... a mix, yes, as the characters were presumably created recently (by others... I'm just a writer)... I thought they still meshed up adequately... and, yeah, for some reason I tend to use 'verily' a bit, even in the other games, as it doesn't seem to be a word often used elsewhere...

By transitions you mean... how exactly? Is this something available in renpy, or they're normally resourced from elsewhere like imagery is?
