Really enjoyable demo!

I like how interesting and varied the cast is, including our mystery MC (was hoping to learn more about Myah, then the demo ended 😔).

The music is really good, and I love the art style and the colour scheme!

And so many different choices for the MC, both in how to react to everything and who to get closer to (plus the character customization).  I'm eager to see the result of these choices in the final game.

Looking forward to playing the rest of the game once it's ready!

I really enjoyed the the visual style of the game, it's very specific and reminds me of something like Don't Starve or Coraline especially with the backgrounds. The Character designs are cool too, everyone is super dreamy and that is elevated with the voice acting which is pretty high quality! That, along the premise made the experience pretty enjoyable. The only notes I'd offer is that some of the pacing is fairly slow, especially with the approach to focus on one character at a time so the the investigative aspects feel rather thin, also some of the music choices didn't really fit but is mostly serviceable. Otherwise, I hope to see more from this project!

I love the concept, a lot!! It feels well executed. The characters are neat and detailed, the monochrome + red is always a fun art choice, and the soundtrack is quite diverse, well composed & produced at that!

Well done, team!!

Oh wow this was sooooo good, I wish it was a million times longer! I really wanted to build a meaningful relationship with Myah because she seemed so cool. The story was gripping and sucked me in right away. The art was absolutely stunning too. Great work!

I'm always a sucker for a monochrome color palette with a hint of red! The art is very visually striking and feeds into the atmosphere. Ngl I was a little confused on the story but I think I was supposed to be because it's a demo. Great UI btw it looks like it'd taste like a cherry flavored cough drop.
