This is fantastic.
I can't stress enough how perfect you've captured the subtle, and kinda folkloric, eerie and oddly nostalgic ( I grew up in a rather mountainous countryside region surrounded by nature :>) atmosphere.
Jim (I LOVE EVEYRTHING ABOUT HIM BTW) and his reactivity to the way you roleplay the mc is everything I want to see in this type of horror romance vn. I also really appreciate the inclusion of mc-is-mature-and-assertive options in regards to pursuing a romance with our lovely mystery man.
Marvelous writing and great art aside, I'm just extremely curious to see where this will all take us within the following in-game days!
