The fact that there’s so much text makes me lose interest in learning more about the lore. On top of that, there aren’t many choices—and when there *are* choices, they end up being extremely significant to the lore (the kind that change the entire game). I also noticed a few bugs regarding the use of the correct pronouns.

Since this visual novel is considered a classic, it could at least include a translation into Brazilian Portuguese (as an optional feature).

I see a lot of potential here, but unfortunately, the story tries to cover the lore far too quickly—something that, in my opinion, could have been handled better. The style of the work truly fascinates me! It’s a style unlike anything I’ve ever seen before—completely unique! That really piques my interest, hehe.

Well it is a demo and still being formed and worked on, it's only logical that for now the lore is kind of bundles together, and honestly I really enjoyed how much there was to read, it really added to the environment and the overall detailing of the home, the eeriness and the connection to the character we play as.

Overall me and my friend highly enjoyed the game, the art was visually perfect for the vibe of the story and well done and consistent, the horror was well done, and I do personally love when choices can change entire aspects of the game, and it really encourages me to play again in the future when it's built that way, versus a simple changes so small you aren't sure they'll make really a difference majority of the time

I think the lore wasn't Overly fast paced, specifically considering it's a demo and likely if it was that far of a slow burn, it never would be able to gain an audience to continue hearing from, and to understand what is happening for the future and what they are supporting! I do like the current pacing for a good play when you don't want to dedicate several play sessions to it, but I agree I would love to see a version where it's a slower burn on the lore and major plotline

However, absolutely NO disrespect to your opinions, I thought I'd share my own on the matter, overall the game was very fun to play and watch be played, and I'm glad to see so many people here in the comments talking about it

I understand your points, and I totally get the reasoning behind them!!!

I’m not saying the game is bad—I just didn’t manage to pay close attention to the story itself, but it really is a very good game! The characters were definitely what kept me the most engaged; I really like the story and how the author chose to weave in the lore. I also think the horror aspect worked really well—honestly, I was genuinely scared, even while playing with a friend over a call!

Since it’s a demo, it ends up being just a "sample of a concept"—does that make sense? It’s a bit short, so there isn’t much to work with yet...

I don’t mean to devalue anyone’s hard work, though!

That said, I’m looking forward to any new updates on this visual novel!
