I think this is going on my top 3 visual novels
The characters are intriguing, the VN makes you wanna know what makes them tick and spend time with them
The quality of the backgrounds, the sprites, the art, overall this is amazing! I think this is the only VN that has so many moving components together all in one. You have animated sprites that are expressive (ear flicks, tail wags, blinking) animated CG's, animated elements like the moon fall scene. This amount of intricacy is one of a kind and I think is so far unique to this VN (unless there are over VN's with this quality I would like to hear recommendations)
The world building is so deep and rich, it makes me want to ask questions like "HOW DID the first moontouched come to being?" I like how they pointed that question out at the introduction of Sorren to the Rend (I'm depending on Chekhov's gun that we come back to that detail T^T) another thing is what or who is that 'fox' lady that keeps popping up? Is the the Great spirit of wood? Was that why Sorren heard a faint "don't..."? The way the tributes describe their homelands are so cool, I would especially like to see where Raithen comes from with the way he describes those massive rooted stretching on for miles from inland all the way to cliffs and diving into the sea.
The interface, I love when VN's give the option to look and appreciate the art that has been used for this VN, the gallery is an important part of VN's for me, I like being able to look at previous works of art while reading, and I like how there's organization for when you want to see a specific character, background, or story element, the codex feature is SO helpful, I was lost a great number of times that I just looked at the codex for help until the story kept mentioning them, then I just got the hang of the really important words.
This VN is a 10/10 can't wait for the next chapter!
