So randomly discovered this game on itch just a few days ago and having just finished the demo, gotta say I am a fan. I don't play a extreme amount of RPG maker games but I have played a few and most of them are not this good for a number of reasons, not as good isn't right, more like, don't have the potential this one has. This has amazing potential, it has an interesting plot with nonsensical politics and unique characters, the romance system while simple is fun and the variety of choices due to the perk system makes the game very interesting.
-I did run into a stump when I took the health regaining perk a second time (can't remember its proper name) and I still regained health as if I only had taken the perk once so I essentially wasted that perk, the game mentions non-combat perks can be wasted if taken twice but that doesn't mention combat perks. I would prefer if the game simply blocked off taking perks that would be useless or redundant as it already dose this with class exclusive abilities so I it would be nice if that extended to stopping redundant perk choices given how important and rare the perk books are.
-The only other real problem I ran into with my run was crashes, I probably crashed 5-7 and was slightly tempted to give up, though luckily the autosaves were pretty on point and even when you walked into a shop and the game crashed on the loading screen, you would reload standing in the shop, so good job there.
-The art is decent to great quality at times and while I am no professional critic, I really enjoy the frequency of the art in this game, most rpg maker games with full art like this include it very sparingly where this game has it all over the place and that is a breath of fresh air so even if it isn't top tier it really is far better to have 10 nice pieces of art in a game compared to having 3 fantastic pieces of art in a game.
-Overall I really liked this, it has really fun characters and dialogue and the option paths really make me want to go and replay it just to see the different options, some choices I have seen particularly the medicine quest for Icarus's friend early on can give good karma but yield to a tragic result and I really hope that the trade the player can make there comes back to them either in a positive or negative way.
9/10 (lets be real, nothings perfect and she is a demo for a reason but she is a fine demo at that, so no 10/10 just yet.) Would play again and am super excited to see this game progress in whatever way the creator takes it.
