This is a very early review of project but here is what i can say for now will update it when it's updated.
So For Himalyan Birkin a interesting name for a interesting project, i will not say i understand everything the whole project is about since from what i understand the project involves more then just the visual novel so my review is just as a FVN fan, maybe in the future if i understand more i can give my views on that. But i will say i am excited to see more.
So about the VN itself, the protagonist Ryder (Callum is his alias) is a very interesting protagonist on the fact of his trauma responses, his past that only can see glimpses of it and his personality makes a very original character and i really want to see more of his story unfolding.
The demo is somewhat short but you can get the idea of what is going to be about it right from the start.
On the audiovisual aspect of the VN it's clear this was made with passion the character sprites are amazing in a weird way, it's not your typical pretty sprites it reminds of adult cartoons of the 80s/90s everything has this more mature tone to it that makes me feel like a stumble a much more mature show late at night on TV.
On technical levels, besides the weird render issue with Renpy, it shows some mistakes that are not that bad but i need to point it out, a lot of time dialogue will a void between one box and another and i thought it was some animation playing but i just need to press space to progress which is weird but can be solved.
In conclusion i will recommend this for now because it has potential and i want to see more of Ryder and hopefully help him get a good ending.
