While I had overlooked this VN due to the horror genre not being by cup of tea, I am so glad I finally decided to give it a chance! I really enjoyed the story so far, and especially getting to know the large cast of characters who each feel like distinct individuals. I appreciate how difficult it is to incorporate so many characters from unique backgrounds, and you have done an excellent job bringing their personalities to life. I have read many stories where the side characters are just so forgettable and underutilized, so I want to highlight how much I enjoyed getting to know this cast and becoming invested in their own personal stakes during this tale. I was on the edge of my seat during several moments! The music is so excellently appropriate for each of the scenes; being haunting, chilling, unnerving, and downright oppressive when it needed to be! The artwork is wonderful of course, all of these characters are so cute, it kind of makes be sad this isn't a dating sim! Not that I want it to be, I just mean that to say I feel so compelled by their stories I want to get to know them better (a hallmark of good writing)! Great work so far, and all the best as you continue toward the exciting conclusion!
P.S. I do have a couple of small suggestions for two of the scenes, but of course I do not want to overstep any boundaries! I have really enjoyed the story so far, and can't wait for the next update!
