Really really like the simplistic artstyle and the symbolism of either a black or white background depending on the route you take. Although the story is a teensy bit predictable it is charming all the same, and perfectly eerie in the dark path. My main issue would have to be the voice acting. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good performances imo, like Alice and Julie, but some of the other characters, while certainly protraying the uniqueness of their character in their voice, they overdo it just a little imo. The overdramatic emphasis on every single word gets annoying, fast. I appreciate it takes effort to strike a good balance between not being too monotone/bland and being like this, but I felt the constructive criticism in this regard was much needed, sorry

Great story! I loved the voice acting and character designs. I played the good ending first and had no idea how dark it gets until I played it again! Great job

Love the art and the voice acting, it's all very cute even despite some of the more gruesome endings!

Alice and her voice is really cute. Well done human.
