Your illustrations are fantastic! I loved learning about the world and making choices along the way. This made the experience a lot more immersive and interactive! Amazing job! You are a really good writer!

Has a fox in it. 10 out of 10.

But really, this game is really good at building atmosphere with the music you've chosen. 

The world building is very nice and I would look forward to learning more about the world you've created. 

Great entry!

(also sorry if it looked like I posted this 3 times. I don't know what happened, haha)

Yes! I love them haha. They like to sneak around my work and say hi when a character needs a companion. 

I´m happy you like the world and the atmosphere ^-^. Thank you for playing and for your kind words. I hope you´ll like the full version as well ^-^

(All good, I think it solved itself!)

Nice effort! I usually find VNs boring, but I gave yours a go today because your game had high karma. 

While it feels unfinished (missing sprites and so on), there are a lot of things to like about it. For one, I felt I had meaningful choices to make. I also liked the backgrounds, I think they suited your world nicely. And having different routes/endings is really cool for a mystery game, because, by definition, mystery games do not have much replayability. 

All in all I enjoyed it. I look forward to the finished product!   :)

Thank you for your kind feedback! I´m happy that you enjoyed the game and found things to like about it. I´m still new in creating stories with choices so you saying you felt like you had meaningful choices to make, means a lot. I hope the final game will successfully fulfill the expectations that the demo set. ^-^
