Just finished the demo! I'm super intrigued and look forward to an update. MC's family seemed so fleshed out and I would love if we could flashback to them and know more about MC's sister! Though, I wonder what the purpose was for making MC a 6 year old? It seems as if you could still get the same effect of dark things happening to a child if MC was older, like 12, 13, 14 and it would also make more sense considering MC's dialogue choices and thought processes seem far more mature than the age they are portrayed as. Royalty or not, I don't know how eloquent a six year old could be in this situation. I really look forward to your next updates!
