A sweet and fun little demo. I found the main character both interesting and charming, even if they have a secret that is somewhat concerning. My favorite character was Warren, I thought he was the most well written of them all. He's serious and efficient when it comes to work matters, but he's also considerate in that he values honesty and respects Addie's privacy. He even shows a little shyness in asking Addie if they could get to know one another outside of work, which I thought was endearing and I really enjoy the complex layers of his character.
I thought all the character designs were really nice and complimented their individual personalities well. I appreciate getting to choose Addie's pronouns and whether they were more masculine or feminine. The backgrounds were simple, but they get the job done. Same with the textbox and GUI in general. It was straightforward and easy to read.
In the way of constructive criticism, my main issue is when Addie goes back and forth between speaking and internal dialogue, as it sometimes became difficult for me distinguish between the two. I don't think the quotation marks are necessary regardless. Considering the narration takes place from Addie's perspective anyway, I don't think the internal dialogue is even needed, as they could just narrate their thoughts instead. I feel this would be less confusing to read as well.
More of a minor note, but I also caught an inconsistency with the coding in which Addie told Micah they asked Warren if he's in charge of their salaries, even though I didn't choose that option.
Aside from those minor complaints, overall I thought the artwork was charming and the writing was nicely structured and well executed. I am curious in getting to know the characters more and uncovering the mystery behind Addie's secret. Thanks for taking the time to read my review ~
