Loved the demo.

I haven't commented in any game here but for some reason this game really made want to say something.

Just recently discovered the game and I really loved the demo, I was surprised it was so long at some point I forgot it was a demo until I got the reminder from the tutorial, it really left me wanting to read more, I'll be waiting for the full release and any other project that may come later. It was really hard to choose a favorite character between Jayda and Steph but at the end I just ended up relating to Jayda, also as someone who is trying to become an artist I tend to like artist characters and in the case of Jayda I really resonated with feeling like people around you are just better (I was surprised to see that Stuart feels something like that regarding her), I really enjoyed the scene where Syd gets in an argument with Nacho about the meaning of the painting probably being my favorite scene from the demo followed by the talk with Jayda afterwards, and btw, what's the song used there, when the argument escalates? I tried checking the ost in youtube but I didn't find it. In general I connected with the game, I enjoyed its tone how well it changes whenever things get serious, the free time sections just have a relaxing feel to it for me specially with Steph (I love the conversation on the swings and the one about fanfiction)

I also like how many choices are and how the game reacts and references the different kind of combinations of these, related to that in vns I always like to see what all choices lead too but this is one of the few times I felt bad with the options that get negative reactions from the characters, I love first the social event we get to experience and how it has 3 resolutions that will lead to different results but after getting the "art-rig" path I felt uneasy and went back to see the other options, it's been a while since a game made feel like that about a character and my choices.

This ended up being longer than I expected.

Hello there!! Thank you so much for playing and for writing here about your experience! I am very glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the demo - it really is quite long isn't it? It's only going to be one third of the game too! This game is outrageously long haha! I hope you and everyone else don't mind how long the final product is going to be!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed hanging out with both Jayda and Steph. I think Jayda's relatability and the more mature atmosphere of Steph's scenes are what make both these characters appealing, and I'm happy to see that's what you liked about them too! Steph and Syd's conversation at the swings is one of my favourite in the game to this day, so I'm glad that stood out to you.

I'm glad you enjoyed all the choices and all of the references I sneak in for all the choice combinations! It's a ton of work, so it makes me happy when I see players feel their decisions impacting and reflecting in the story! I am also happy to hear (in a slightly evil way) that the "art-rig" path made you feel uneasy. That path is meant to make both Syd and the player feel guilty and unsure of themselves so.... hearing that you reloaded a save after doing it does make me feel that I did something right haha!

Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to write here! I love hearing from players, and I hope you look forward to the full game when it (eventually! I promise!) releases!

I- I do not have the literature mastery to write paragraphs on this becauseeeeee all I really need to say is...
I AB-SO-LUTE-LY LOVE THIS GAME!

I almost NEVER play romance games like these but due to school (Ugh), I have to do some game research which I took as 'Play some games' and here I am now.

Anyways. I am (Yeah, in the middle of playing it)  sooooooooooooooo addicted to this, like, 'I'm going to bed at 3:00 am in the morning for this ' addicted. 

Pls keep doing your best, Dimitri. <3
