Hello, I would like to read this VN and rate it for the jam, but even if I can read very violent and scary stories, I am particulary sensitive regarding animal cruelty. Could you spoil what happens exactly (with animals XD), so I can see if I am able to stomach this. Thanks (and sorry^^).

Totally understandable, I would like to be told that as well if I were you.
So there's this one scene where the miller's daughter is reccounting the moment her father killed a milk cow because he felt the cow was no longer useful to him. This was to illustrate how the girl is scared of her own father and of not being seen as useful.
The scene doesn't go into much detail. (A description of how he did it was added because a few people insisted it was impossible to kill a cow with human strenght and it broke the suspension of desbelief for them. I explained it in narration for those types of people. But even so I believe the text to remain tasteful. )
All in all, the main thing in the story is the implied and psychological violence, and the game doesn't contain gore. It's not a game that relishes or fetishizes violence.
Let me know if any of this helps :)
EDIT: I knew I was writing fetishizes wrong! X'D
Thanks a lot! Ok, the scene makes sense and is there to serve the story. It's not gratuitous or pure sadism, so it's something I can stomach. I will be able to read it, thank you very much. I'll leave a review here as soon as it's done. And sorry for my clumsy english but it's not my first language, and even if I can read it perfectly, I write like a 5 years old child XD See you!
Oh I SO relate. I despise gratuitous violence. Give me something like Kentaro Miura's manga Berserk where violence is strong but has meaning and it makes all the difference.
Hahaha Don't worry, you are perfectly sensical-- And full disclosure: I'm not a native English speaker either~

PS. By the way, we are working on a new version (again, lol) correcting a few more things. We will have the newest thing uploaded I believe between tonight or tomorrow. If you are not in a rush.
