Welp that was definitely dark.
In one hand I wonder if this really counts as magical girl when it seems like the main character is just going full crazy and hallucinating. In the other hand, girl powering through with the power of love and friendship along great mechanic-story synergy, like the magic menu being empty!
Excellent art, there's even fancy cutscene panel sequence for the transformation and everything, that was great too!
Short and (bitter)sweet but with different endings available is also a very good touch.
Oh, and lots of different NPC dialogue and object interactions, love that too!
The part that I liked the least was feeling that the whole rabbit and deer theme wasn't really explored. There's a bit of Alice in Wonderland's "follow the rabbit hole", but the deer just seems to be there for the ride? It could've just been the rabbit and everything would've worked pretty much the same. Great sprites and art pieces with them though!
Seems like you're planning to expand on this one, definitely enjoyed the experience here, keep up the good work!
