Overall I love how the new sprites look in game, I think it's an amazing change! I'm a big fan of the updated art for the polaroid pictures too! I do have a few minor things to point out with this update though. I feel like Mikko's older pose in the polaroid photo with the snowball held up dramatically was more fun. Personally, I'm not a big fan of how off to the side Rune faces, I feel that it doesn't match his personality as much as the old pose did. The sprites work in some scenes but in the more personal scenes it feels a bit off to me, Rune seems a bit more distant and him only facing front with the flirty face adds to that off feeling. I also find that Lake's snout does look a bit too bulbous. Actual technical issues I've found are that in Runes frightened pose with his jacket on, his shirt is visible where his hand is. in the same pose with his jacket off, something isn't lining up right and his arms are too large for the shirt. I also find that the outlines of some characters do look a bit weird on some backgrounds. I've attached images of the 2 issues with Rune's sprite

I love the reworks of the sprites!! I think they're a great fit for the visual novel but I'll still really miss the original sprites. Both the old and new sprites are great and I agree with Keo's decision to use these newer ones but It would be great to have some way to choose between the old and new sprites. I've followed this vn for a while and I've really fallen in love with the original artstyle and I'd hate to see it go
