Oh geeze, thanks so much for playing and enjoying the vn!
And yes, the horror elements will appear much later in the story, I do think it's best to introduce the characters more thoroughly first to give context on the whys and hows of the actions and decisions of said characters, it also gives me the chance to give clues that will help the player make the best decisions.
Also, it's a great honor to have you give your first feedback on my project, I really appreciate it and hopefully you'll stick around for the future updates of the vn!
Again, thank you so much xd
