This is absolutely delightful! I especially like the painterly style of the backgrounds and characters, it gives this visual novel such a unique look against many others that drew me in immediately, like an illustration in an old book.
All the characters are so interesting, from their looks to their voices and personality; I'm keen to know more about them, the lore and our place in the world. My imagination is buzzing with your ideas and words. Lovely. I can't wait to keep playing this all over again until I run out of choices. So perhaps it's a mercy that's it's only a demo for now, because I suspect the full release will take over my life.
So excited for more!
