A haunting VN for sure. I liked the sprites with the moving lines, and there's even a nice moment where they stop when Henry is shocked. There are some issues with the writing. Not just the typos and missing ending punctuations, but some moments here and there that strike me as a touch melodramatic. For example, the repeated step/knock choices at the start, which strike me as unnecessary and ill-timed, as opposed to being placed at the climax of the story for instance. I also wish the dialogue had character tags, because I couldn't really tell who was talking from just the color alone. All that aside, this is a creepy and unnerving story about people who are damaged in many ways. There's a constantly ramping sense of tension throughout, and Henry's unraveling is difficult to watch but gripping all the same. There were some moments that felt out of place, like Nick's personality during the interview and especially when he saw the hunting trophy, but I guess all that later made sense in context. The Pathetic route was haunting, but the visuals were great. The Human route was more touching than I expected it to be, though I still have to question how Henry couldn't recognize Nick. Either way, the story was emotionally heavy, but again melodramatic in a lot of aspects ("I notice the floor getting wet from my tears?" That's a lot of tears!) It could have used some more nuance for sure, but either way I enjoyed it. Good job.
