I've finally got around to playing the demo (been following the project since I first saw its WiP thread, but didn't find time to finally play it when it released) and I must say, wow.... I was officially sucked in, from the prologue, to diving into the story. A horrible, cold world with a vicious disease that would cause the outlawing of skin contact and the utter mental and physical consequences it causes, and the desperation for intimacy you'd pay money simply to.... hold hands, or even hug!
I really enjoyed looking at each sneak peak of a route. The characters were all very interesting, and I love the muted colors which really shows how numb and sad the world has become. The desperation of the characters, from fear of contracting Mother to simply needing to be warm and wanting to feel loved... how those two feelings conflicted... just wow, this is so well written and I am curious where some of the direction of the story would go! I also really love how the story is based in the Philippines ^^
Now I know there hasn't been news on this project in awhile, but anyone reading this, I still think even as a demo this game would be worth your time. The death endings are intense, and the good (pseudo) endings, whilst open-ended being a demo, still feel quite satisfying. And if the devs ever decide to pick up producing the game again, know you definitely have a fan eagerly awaiting to play the full version ^^
