I really enjoyed the art direction. There's clearly a lot of thought put into the little animations, like with the characters walking around the room. I'm glad that you'll be continuing the development, cos I really wanna play Akari's route in the future.
If you allow me a tiny bit of nitpicking: I thought that it was really funny that when I pressed 'H' to hide the dialogue box, some parts of the CGI would disappear as well (the steam coming from the chimney, the fog in the forest, etc.). You can avoid that in the future by writing "show screen screen_name onlayer master".
Otherwise, no criticism is necessary. Keep doing what you're doing!
