I am going trought the demo, I have done 1 our of playing so far and I can see a lot of problems, I like a lot all of the idea done so far, the story and the basic graphics, but I would love for those basic graphics (not talking about the obvius placeholders taken from google) to be more detailed or just worked on a little bit more, that includes backgrounds and menus but the thing that REALLY is annoying me at this point is that I did not get to choose a lot of options so far, and since its a game and not a cartoon you should really add more options, even useless ones that do not influence the story but maybe just some lines of text or even nothing, I would really like to be free to talk to characters freely or to have a day or two in the middle of the story to do my own thing and explore to get that feeling that I am not just watching a story that cannot bend with my options or that it is not really complete.

I started this game just to get a game like The Sims but from another prospective and where  I could only control myself, and have all the options to talk, flirt, and make bad jokes, but the limitations of following the story only lead to talking to few characters that for now I do not personally like and that I can't really talk much with becouse I can't say much in the conversations.

I'm relatively new to Visual Novels too. And coming from open world games like Skyrim, I know what you mean. BUT, remember that a VN is a weird combination of Book, meets Movie - in that you set the pace (book) and there are visual and sounds to enhance the story (movie).
I think this is why some people prefer to say *read* a VN, instead of *play* a VN.


I'd say that wishing you could spend a day just wandering around and talking to the characters is an indicator that the story and characters are solid enough to draw you in - which is great! Right?

:)

If you are enjoying this medium, I can recommend more free VNs that you might like. Some with choices and others without. A great one (that is a 10 min read) is "Ripples by Saki Visual" (google that, it comes right up.
