Wow, that was something! Expecting some thriller stuff and ending up with supernatural horror was a bit of a shock, but the story as a whole was really cool. (The homophobic dad saying “you’re a monster” and then he really becomes a monster is quite something). The first part about Bird’s life and depression was really engaging. In contrast, the ending feels a bit rushed. Still, it was really good!
The presentation is extremely cool. Actual animations and stuff! The whole thing really supported the narrative. The animations made the few times a character just disappears suddenly a bit jarring in comparison… Also, having some ambiant music or the like would have bettered some of the scenes. The color palette was really nice, and having Bird (and Harper’s beret) clash with it was a nice touch.
Folklore is mentionned in relation to the peach pit (the pyrena, apparently^^). And maybe a monster covered in antlers is from some folklore as well? Pretty simple, but it works.
Overall, a very good VN, that feels closer to a comic than a novel in a few ways.^^ Great job!
