This was absolutely SUPERB - I know it's only a demo, but I already love it so much, I can't wait for the final piece!
The art's gorgeous throughout, the music/sfx are so incredibly spot-on for setting the different moods, the pacing's great and I'm really invested in the story~ I love how everything comes together too; the animations on the sprites (subtle and otherwise) and the transitions between scenes make everything feel so smooth and natural, and the atmosphere during the 'horror' scenes is so deliciously intense, it really sets them aside from the "normal" parts of each day and makes it as unsettling for the reader as it does for Hikaru.
Speaking of Hikaru - I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! His relationship and banter with Aki had me grinning non-stop, I love how much shit they give each other and how obviously they care about each other without being excessive with it. He clearly cares about Hiyori too, I love a supportive sibling ^^
(Also Karma is ridiculous in such a wonderful way, he's so precious 💞)
I really don't have any criticism to offer, I loved every bit of it and I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest 💖
