THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME DEMO!!!
First of all, I really, really love the art, especially the sprites, they look beautiful and go really well with the characters!!
Secondly, I LOOOOOVE the characters and their dynamics!! They are all very unique in their own way, and I really like how the dynamics between the characters depends on who we're talking about (for instance, Syun's dynamic with Kaoru feels more chaotic and teasing-like while Syun's dynamic with Lion is more calm, warm and even flirty at times.)
The characters all feel like real people: they're flawed, they have a life outside of the events in the story and some even suffer from very real issues like anxiety or PTSD. The conversations all feel very natural too and that's not something easy to do in writing.
To add to that, the story's premise is also very interesting! On one hand, you have Syun's internal conflict (which is already quite compelling in itself; especially since there are a few plot twists that you don't see coming). On the other hand, something very strange going on in the world itself: people are convinced that the end of the world is near. And, without spoiling the demo for you, let's say that the end of it has a HUGE cliffhanger that leaves you FLOORED.
And, finally, something that I think really, really shines in this game are the mechanics!! Sure, as a visual novel you have the standard choices, but they have their own uniqueness which makes them stand out from other VNs I've played in the past; especially in the way they're presented. There's also a fun phone mechanic where you can message the different characters and also scroll on social media for some fun easter eggs!
And last, but certainly not least, my favorite mechanic of all is the PARANOIA SYSTEM. Esentially, the main character, Syun, suffers from a lot of paranoic thoughts which are represented by text bubbles on the screen. And that's not all! If you see bubbles with yellow text... something very interesting will happen.
I'm super invested in this story and its characters. It's only the demo and yet a lot of the characters, especially Syun, have really resonated with me.
I'm really looking forward to the full-version; thank you for making such a cool game!!
