Holy mother of amazing character designs x3 It's hard to even pick a favourite, but if I were forced to, I think I'd have to go with Azza, but really they're all just gorgeous :3 Not just the character designs though, all the art is a treat for the eyes!
The story is very heartfelt and an interesting concept with a colourful cast of characters. It's really neat that you made it as a standalone demo but that it's also part of a larger story. I love stuff like that :3 I'm intrigued to see what more you have in store. I wish you the best of luck with future development!
Oh, and just so you know, the Windows build works perfectly for me! I just downloaded it today, so whatever issues you were previously facing, I can confirm they're resolved :3
And feel free to completely disregard this, but I noticed on the game page that you're using the 'adult' tag. I once tagged one of my games that way because of blood/gore/other horror elements, but somebody advised me to ditch the 'adult' tag because of the sheer number of games tagged with that on itch that feature sexual content, haha. They said to me that most players searching that tag are basically looking for porn games >.< So I wound up changing it to something else. Just thought I'd mention it is all.
I'm not great at tags myself, but maybe you could use the 'halloween' tag or something while it's still October, and then maybe switch it to 'interactive fiction' or something if you do decide to drop the 'adult' one :3

Thank you so much for checking it out and your kind words, I'm so glad to hear that, I uploaded the wrong versions probably meant for another platform, thanks, I'm not surprised at the adult tag either. I'm glad that you really enjoyed it a lot, and I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the story, as a writer, I was really nervous about this story too. I kind of conceived as a fairly episodic story, and the structure fit too.
I can understand feeling nervous because whenever I write stuff, I basically have no faith in myself >.< I often assume what I've written is awful by default, and it's only thanks to the kindness of others that I even have the courage to turn things into games because if not for their support, I'd be too scared to even put my stuff out there. I think you've made a touching tale though, so I hope more people get to experience it :3
Episodic stuff is great! I intended to do that with one of my longer main projects that I started as a standalone story a couple of years ago for Winter VN Jam... but I haven't made much progress because I keep getting distracted by game jams in general xD I swear I'm not addicted to jams, hehe. I hope you manage to make faster progress than I have + that you have a fun and smooth time crafting the larger project :3
