I will be very honest, I was attracted to this game because the LI (Arson, really tip of the nose) looked like Scaramouche from Genshin Impact, however as I played I started to enjoy my time with it. I like how bleak MC's life was before Arson came in. But in that bleakness was their sad normal life, it was also interesting to see how MC is so disconnected with people, I wonder if it's due to the accident that changed MC (if they had a different kind of attitude back then) or if MC just had to do what they had to do to survive.
I also like how you designed Arson, he looks like such a pretty boy with trauma (and the half mask made me think of Phantom of the Opera) but when he speaks, the way you write his dialogue is like he isn't even on the same reality as MC. It's like they're living on different planes of existence with how detached Arson seems to be. And the scars on him, Arson what happened??? (and the off-screen murder let's not forget about it but like, was Arson telling the truth when he said he saw a man spinning in front of the door because that is such a random thing lmao)
Not only that, but Ending 1?? I got Ending 2 because I was curious over what Arson would say if we were obedient but I think it's a continuation of the next update-- BUT ENDING 1?? Man that was actually unnerving, the way you drew it and how Arson said that everything would be perfect?? Chills! Was he holding a nailgun?? Or was it a chair?? Either way, absolutely terrifying I want to know more.
Great little demo too!!!
