Even though this project hasn’t gotten a ton of buzz I’m still really excited to read it. Sometimes before starting a VN I skim through the text to see if it’s worth my time and I can already tell this one is going to be great. I also really like your art style it kind of reminds me of cutout newspaper designs. I’m not exactly sure how else to describe it but the little white outlines around the characters give me a nostalgic vibe. Like a game I used to play
Edit: I also love your little mascot
