I've recently finished playing this game and so far... it's been wonderful??? I really like how there's a bunch of choices and branching paths that I keep coming back to, not to mention the small and subtle changes you put in due to our choices. I really can't wait until it's out!
- What's your favorite character?
I think my favorite character so far would be the MC, particularly the one who's a bit rough around the edges and resents almost everyone. That's the version I found myself liking hahahaaa. But the rest of the characters were also nice, I found Matthias to be charming and The Queen to be quite interesting!
- Did you try the different options, or did you follow only one path?
I definitely tried out different options and routes and found how lovely it is that some choices did affect the way Matthias behaves early on.
Also found some scenes that were surprisingly spicy which made me internally scream because OH BOY
- What do you think of the black and white aesthetic?
I think the black and white aesthetic is very pretty. I have no issues with that! I just wish that maybe you could possible put more contrast in within the backgrounds, such as inking the shadows and etc. I understand that the version you gave us was a demo and perhaps the BG, sprites and etc aren't the final version yet and that's why so much of the art is sketchy. Unless the sketchy art is part of the aesthetic and completely is your intention, then my bad lol. It's just that some people might get the impression that it feels a bit unfinished, if you get what I mean?
- Would you like to see more colored CGs, like the one at the end of chapter one?
I wouldn't mind either way. On one hand, a pretty coloured CG is a good contrast to the overall black and white aesthetic of the game. On the other hand, it's a bit jarring to suddenly have a coloured CG popping out at the end, especially when the CG is a bit random like the one we get at the end of the demo. My suggestion would be to possibly try to give a CG that relates to the previous chapter? Like a CG of the final scene or something.
