Very lovely game! I think the art is great, and I'm always happy to find myself playing an RPG. I might add a bit more musical depth to that first song just cause that's me and I like that, but that's all subjective, baby.

A very good game! The work put into this was worth it, I'd say. I found myself growing attached to the characters and their relationship while playing, specifically Milk and Statics. Some of their interaction felt kind of fast-paced, but I don't really mind it, especially with the time limit given for the game. But boy, do I love those two... Moving on, the game, unfortunately, does have its bugs and glitches, some interfering with the gameplay, while others are more visual than anything. Some glitches did cause me to have to reboot the game, though, which was a little unfortunate, but it's not like I lost too much when I was saving very often. I also needed a bit of extra time with certain sections where events didn't activate properly, or collision was buggy. Another thing I noticed is that rarely I would get locked into fighting and unable to back out, which caused me to die half of the time. I couldn't tell if I was just doing something wrong... The only other issue I had was the battles feeling somewhat tedious at times. That's likely just personal preference, as I was more into the story and characters than battling enemies, honestly. The room packed full of devotees was the only instance where I genuinely was not having much fun with it, but it was not too difficult to get past them anyway, thankfully. In retrospect, I actually am not even sure if that room was meant to be that full with how they kept piling on me, I didn't even have a chance to run, and saving was just a test of how quick I could click ESC. One more thing, I would suggest playing this game with arrow keys instead of your mouse to avoid a good chunk of the bugs!
With the bugs aside, I do believe this has the potential to be a very solid and good game, especially if expanded upon further and fixed up a bit. I'm really hoping to see this story continued in the future, the ending only left me wanting more! I had a lot of fun with it and had been really looking forward to it prior to its release. Overall, it's worth the play-through to me! A nice game with an interesting story. 7.5/10 rating from me. :]
