I love the background illustrations! It would be nice if the text were colored to match a bit better with them, instead of just black and white (the black and white makes it visible and readable, but that can still be achieved with more fitting colors). It seemed like the text choices that were in red were the "bad" options, I think it'd be more interesting if they weren't made red so that the player didn't know the outcome of what they were going to choose. There seems to be some inconsistency with text options taking to you a whole new page, or revealing more text, which is jarring and disrupting to the flow; I think this would be an easy fix though, like if the revealing-text had a fade in, instead of just appearing like a new page would (because both have the same animation I think that's what made it confusing). The art and characters are super well done, so your narrative is working super well!
