This was one of the best demos I've ever played, and I've played lots. The writing was superb, the backgrounds were masterfully drawn (at some point I couldn't tell if they were pictures or drawings!) and the chracters are all nicely written and designed. I hope this project grows. I suggest adding expressions (but perhaps you're already working on those?) And considering that you're working on this alone, this is a top-notch beginning. Keep going, dude.
