congratulations on making a demo for your first game! i thought the art was super charming and i adore your use of lighting in the cgs! the paper and coloured pencil aesthetic made everything feel really unique, like a storybook! the UI was also very cute
i found taliyah very charming. i loved their sense of humour, love of hatsune miku, and how honest they are about their mental illness.
i think the story was slightly weakened by anastasia's treatment, though. i kinda agree with her that it IS unfair that she's spent a week helping with rehearsals for a competition she's not even in. her one scene doesnt really establish that shes a bitch like everyone says she is, so everyone's treatment of her feels unwarranted?
anyways, i'm cheering for you and looking forward to where the game goes in the future! thank you for submitting this game to the jam!
