I love the premise of this game. It has me really hooked in the game. The music is a okay, fits the atmosphere (can be improved). Love the pixel arts of the characters, lovely.
However, there are a few things I want to point out:
1/ Clarity - I have no idea what is happening, why and when. There should be a visual or audio cue that helps. Especially between all the buttons on the screen. A tutorial would be nice.
2/ Promises - The game excution doesn't really deliver on the premise of rumors. That is due to the lack of clarity provided in the game. I don't feel my actions has any weight to them, nor are there any logic behind each and every rumors, it is just pressing a 'Listen to Rumors' button to increase the parameters
Overall, an interesting and promising premise, love to see it when you have polished it more. 6.5/10
