Okay what the hell. I played a lot of games in the jam and this is very much my new favorite, and I'm not even a visual novel guy at all. First of all, great stylish UI, amazing art, awesome music. Loved the characters' sprites, had a lot of personality.
I liked the writing as well. Had a perfect balance between funny and serious; more importantly, it all had a coherent theme which is always nice to see. Was delighted when I got the option to sacrifice a rib-eye I bought with the Occultist. The characters are very, very well written, I got attached to them all impressively fast. Although I didn't get any good dialogue choices with the Teacher until day 16 which felt strange, basically knew nothing about her while being best friends with all others. Occultist was my favorite, she's fun to hang around and had a great ending. Engineer is the close second :)
Having money was a nice interactive element and I'm fine with it just being there as a thing to look at, but makes me wish there was anything to think about when spending money; maybe you have to waste a day to replenish it and there's some balancing act there.
My only complaint is that the pacing felt a little odd. It took me 18 days to get my first aberration and basically any meaningful agency over what I'm doing. It's nice to take the time to set up the stage but by day ~12 I felt like my actions don't really mean anything.
I'm a fan, thank you for making this, hope you have a nice life. Always make positive changes! :)
