Thank you so much! I'm really glad that those audio additions helped to elevate the gaming experience! I had fun composing the soundtrack, and the voice actors that joined the project are all fantastic, so hats off to them for giving those characters more depth, as you say. Thanks so much for playing! 💜
This demo was brilliant! The artwork, UI and music all set the scene very well. I love how resourceful the devs have been with reusing art assets creatively to give the feeling of more expansion. The story was very cool, and there are choices that are unavailable in this current demo, but that only makes me want to play the full version more! Also love that there's voice acting, even though sparse at this point. The sound design is very effective too. Overall great experience.
This game was definitely a memorable experience.
Pros: Fantastic artwork across characters, backgrounds and the game UI, and a very intriguing story which really delivered on the horror aspect. I also love that there were some point and click moments in addition to your typical VN choices.
Cons: There were a LOT of grammatical errors, to the point where it was almost every sentence at times. I got the impression that this was down to the fact that the writers were not native English speakers. This did dampen the experience for me a little, but an issue like this is easily solved with some translation/spelling and grammar help.
The cons definitely don't put me off seeing what else these developers can create if they address the language issue, as the visuals, story and overall vibe of this game were brilliant. Especially positive considering that (I believe) this is their first game!
I can understand your perspective tbh. I personally don't find it a downside if a VN doesn't have voice acting - I'm happy to let my imagination create voices. But I do also appreciate voice acting when it appears, as it automatically adds an extra dimension to each character.
I've worked hard to find VAs that could really give my characters voices that I felt were authentic to them, and hopefully players will enjoy them!
I said this on the main game page, but I'll put it again here because I want to support this game! It was short but pretty compelling. The visual style perfectly suited the dark subject matter, and I enjoyed the replayability factor in that you could keep trying again to get different results. Also, in a moment of random serendipity, I just so happened to come across this game today, which is the 10th anniversary of the funeral of my best friend, who committed suicide a decade ago. Made me identify even more. Good job dev.

Okay, I have to say that this game was honestly brilliant, Julien! If this is your first proper attempt at making a game, then you've set the bar really high already! As a solo dev myself, I really understand the struggle of doing everything alone, even if you get the occasional bit of help. Big admiration for this game, and please make more!
Considering how short this game is, the devs have put a lot of work and care into the amount of artwork in it - there are some effective moving scenes, and the art itself is really nice. It was an interesting and enjoyable short story that suggests that the devs could really make something amazing if they tackled a larger project.
