Enjoyed this demo quite immensely! Leander and Kuras are without a doubt my favorite of the love interests, but the others all have immense potential as well--when the game finally comes out in full I suspect I'm going to have a great time playing all the different routes. (Tho my little multishipper heart will mourn that there aren't any poly endings...)
That said, I think the thing I most like is the complex web of relationships between the love interests. They're not quite all friends, but the way each feels something somewhat unique for the other four makes each of the love interests feel very nuanced and three-dimensional, their lives and paths more realistic. I know it was hinted that the player character may meet a grisly fate if they choose poorly, but I'm left curious what sorts of fates the ones I don't choose might encounter. I could possibly see Vere, Ais, or Leander ending up in an antagonistic position if things play out badly with them, the same is likely true with Kuras and Mhin too considering how secretive the whole cast is right now.
I say the cast is secretive, but that doesn't mean they're disinteresting. I think the demo itself gives a splendid balance of actual explanation into the premise of the game and its core cast, teasing glimpses of what may yet come, while not showing too much of its hand. It really is a well-made and enjoyable demo, if the full game is even half as good I'm sure the payment for it will be money well-spent.
