This game has incredible visuals. The gorgeous aesthetic, clearly crafted with so much passion, hooked me instantly to the story.  Every piece of art is fitting and beautiful and the character sprites have a special place in my heart.

I could stare at pieces of the scenery for hours.  The lighting is so, so pretty. I'm so impressed two artists alone managed to pull this off. You're all amazing.

I LOOOVE how the candles light up when Flavien passes by them.  I love how shiny he is. Baby.

The writing is also interesting and doesn't feel too slow nor too fast. It keeps a nice pace throughout the demo. Eli's and Flav's dialogues feel pretty natural and nice. 

I can see the amount of effort both of you put into this game and I love it.  So I decided to write some feedback about bugs & things I'd think would help pushing the game to perfection.

Some feedback, since it's a demo (mostly bug related): 

• I noticed Eli's feet may look like stumps when you jump to stairs above him. I'm unsure if that's proposital, but if it isn't, I'd advice giving him little feet... I love everything else about his sprite though.  
• The buttons on the in-game pause menu are a bit too small. Adding an outline would be helpful to make reading easier!
• The plaforming might feel a bit wonky sometimes, specially on edges. Nothing gamebreaking though.
• As gorgeous as the intro is, I'd advice implementing a button to skip it. Reasons below:
• I found a bug while going from the guest room to the left wing  tower before opening the kitchen door. The "I should go to the door downstrairs first" dialogue displays, but doesn't stop me from exploring the left wing tower. If I go far enough to the left and come back, the dialogue  actually stops me from LEAVING the room. After many attempts to go back, I managed to, but got 100% softlocked right afterwards. An easy solution to this is displaying the dialogue and not allowing the player to enter the left wing before checking the door. This bug was gamebreaking so I had to restart.
• I found a bug where Eli would get stuck triggering the "I still have these books with me" dialogue infinitely.  His sprite keeps bouncing up and down and the constant triggering left no space for me to jump off and stop the loop. Saving & loading did not stop the bug, nor closing and opening the game again. I had to restart again.
• Sometimes the "dot dot dot" speaking sound effect will start before a scene loads, so the screen will be black for a while after the sound plays.
• I'm unsure if this is meant to be proposital but Flavien's jumps are all over the place... It's cute to me...  Sometimes his skipping goes up the stairs...
• I cannot open the inventory at all when playing Flavien. Again, I'm unsure if this on purpose or not, but decided to bullet-point it anyways.
• The candles on the left wing tower don't light up when Flavien goes by them. The ones on the right of the library, right by the stairs, also don't. Unsure if this is on purpose (part 3)
• The jump button doesn't work halfway through the study room after the "Flavien almost gets himself killed" cutscene. 

Haven't found anything else other than that. Thank you so much for dedicating your time to make this game, I wish only the best to you <3
