Hi! So I played the demo and congrats, it's very good!
First, I'd like to mention the quality of the work you put in the expressions of your characters (you clearly took in consideration body language in the different poses you gave the characters, which really helps them be more interesting). So, although your demo is 15-20min-long, they already have some depth.
Also, great job with the soundtrack and the use of it! It was always appropriate and really made the whole look more "cinematic". The tracks are also lovely.
And so is the art: the character designs and the expressions really got me in. The CG is lovely and I love Quentin's expression in it. I also appreciated your use of backgrounds!
Finally, the story seems interesting (the conflict between a more militaristic aspect and magic will surely develop into something great) and I can't wait to get to know more of the characters! I'll admit I'm not sure to understand why Quentin accepts this whole "secret mage society" and magic in general that quickly and easily, which made the scene a bit strange to me (but maybe I misread a line or something?): but the characters' interactions were so pleasant it eventually became a minor detail and clearly didn't stop me from really enjoying the scene and the demo.
So, congrats, that's excellent, and I would never have believed it was your first game if you didn't say so! And I'm excited to see more of it in early 2023!
