I read the warnings on the game page about the bugs and stuff and the advisement not to play until another time when they're fixed and more of the game is out, but I already made it my mission to try and check out all of the jam games anyways + I thought yours sounded like a fun and interesting concept :3

I didn't encounter anything major in terms of bugs during the demo with the choices that I picked :D Managed to make it to the end alright with just 1 missing image was all! I haven't tried picking different choices yet though.

I really adore the character designs! They're gorgeous :3 I thought it was pretty fun!

I guess I should put this next little bit under SPOILERS

Any game that says: "Naturally, I say..." and then allows me to pick the choice "Fuck you." Gets a big thumbs up from me :D

Good luck with the rest of the game ^-^

Thank you! Oh, you must've encountered one of the bugs, you just don't know it - the thing is, you weren't supposed to learn true names of two of the characters just yet :D

But thank you for playing and for your generous words! We're planning to fix all these issues in the next patch.
