Firstly, well done, team! The UI is stunning, the settings are gorgeous, the storyline is intriguing, the music is lovely and overall, I think you're on to a winner.
Now, on to what I didn't love. I feel like the characters lack definition and appear a bit too ethereal compared to the vividness of the backgrounds, a bit like they're ghosts and not entirely solid. If this is intentional, then please excuse me. The other thing is, maybe you could tweak the playlist a little? It sometimes felt like I'd been listening to the main theme for forever, lol! I did find the writing a little bit naive from time to time, but Alaris is better than other VNs I've read in this regard.
All in all, I think this project has amazing potential. You've done a great job so far and I wish you everything of the best with the rest of the dev!
