  • GDD The GDD could be a bit more fleshed out; some information on the inspiration, images of the development and environment would enrich it, and a timeline of development would be appreciated. Still, with what's there, I can see a clear path of development; it did the work, and I know the vision and what the game can be. Gameplay Story is the focus of this game. It's more like a visual novel with possible branching paths. As it is, the MVP is pretty solid; the switch between the locations according to your choices worked well, and each area has its own description in the mind of a fox. Art design Everything is hand-drawn; I loved it. Super charming and even dark in some aspects. I don't know if it was intended, but the more human environments felt more unnatural, and this allowed me to get into the fox mindset. Those things are not something they are used to. This added a lot to the atmosphere. Little thoughts The GDD reveals that this is a very ambitious project, with a lot of extra mechanics. As an MVP, you proved the point that it can be done and could gauge player interest. It's something I expect to find on Newgrounds as a completed game later. I was pretty interested in the setting.
