Brighthill Lodge is off to a promising start! Here are my impressions, I hope this feedback is helpful.
The good:
- The protagonist, Chris, has a strong voice that I enjoyed. Often furry VN protagonists are just there along for the ride, without much of a presence. Chris is noting like that.
- Both the narration and the dialogue were witty and amusing. It's charming and fun without trying to hard, and Chris's personality only makes it land better.
- The sprites are pretty and charming, especially how the expressions are drawn.
- The setting and mood worked really well. The isolated winter mountain felt oppressive, and the warmth of the Lodge was a welcome contrast. The writing manages to set the mood and atmosphere even in such a short amount of time very well.
The bad:
- It's ultra short, probably one of the shortest VN debuts I've played. I don't have much to say about it so far sadly. I am looking forward to seeing the story continue soon hopefully!
