I finally kicked myself in the butt to play this!!

Right away going in, I was so impressed by the level of the visuals. The animation on the title screen and then on the backgrounds felt so lush and dynamic and created this unique sense of immersion right from the start, especially when accompanied by the jazzy chill music.

Then the characters start appearing! And every single one of them is a delight. I love their different poses and expressions, the little bits of voice when they talk. Coupled with their quirky dialogue, it really brings them to life, and I found myself just wanting to keep talking and interacting with them. (My favorite is definitely Meri <3)

Another thing I love is how it doesn't stop with just the main characters. All the side characters are equally as entertaining and full of personality (and sometimes just pure oddity). All of this together gives the game this... kind of off-kilter dreamlike vibe where you never really know what's going to happen next, but you know it's going to be fun.

And of course I haven't even gotten to the fact that it's actually a horror game! Love the great build-up on the unsettling parts. And I like how you keep adding to the little bits of "something's not quite right" to start laying this creepy vibe over the whole thing.

Really looking forward to playing more when you release the whole thing! Especially given all that I've seen, such as you revamping the traits system (which is already really cool, so I'm quite intrigued to see how the even MORE sophisticated system will work!). Keep up the great work and can't wait to jump back into Riva!

Woohoo! :D Thank you so much!! I'm happy that you played it through and even happier that you liked it so much! 

It's especially cool to hear that you picked up on the dreamlike vibe, which is definitely something I'm going for. Your review as a whole really feels like you felt what I intended you to feel, which feels like a huge victory for me! Because you never really know how people will perceive things lol. XD

So thank you so much for this, really made me happy to read, and excited to keep on working to make this game truly special!
