Hi Carzie! :)
I truly wasn't expecting to get hooked by the story concept but indeed I was! The fantasy setting of this "forest world" seems like it has potential to be hiding many secrets and I would love to see more of them.
The character designs of Perci, Cami, Eli and Fern were super good, and the character and room customization were quite cool (although I don't know if the portrait of the playable character is going to be seen on any cutscene due to the first person perspective of the game).
Backgrounds were also quite simple at a glance due to the gaussian and noise filters but fit just right and had detail when it mattered most, so congrats on that!
My true only complain (aside from needing more!) is the music. The track that plays at the Embassy office just after starting the game had quite a high bpm to focus on reading, and after that there were almost no music, just sound effects like the birds chirping or the river flowing. I assume this is something you'll maybe check later on development but just wanted to make sure to note it here!
With that said, I'll try and keep an eye for future updates as I'm liking the game so far, nice job!
P.D.: I would poison Perci in a heartbeat if I could, he may be handsome but it's an absolute jerk (my hate towards him means it's well written as a character I guess xDD).
