I am absolutely blown away by how good this is! It's so surreal and dreamlike, and every single line I was shocked by the new animations/visual effects. Some effects were used so inventively, I honestly think that this game really utilizes the medium of a VN to its fullest potential...

Although the plot/dialogue is very ambiguous/surreal, the feelings of the protagonist come across so well, especially their (I hope this is correct) struggles with gender identity and mental health.

I honestly think that as a standalone the demo is a conclusive story already? But I am looking forward to the continuation. I hope that the protagonist finds some solace at the end!

Thank you so much!!!

I think that at this point of the story she/they is fine, but they/them better descrives... well them (gosh I felt so bad having to write other characters missgendering them, specially the guards in the begining like duuuuuuuude shut up!!! let the child be!!!!!!!! and kinda in that note... the scene before the "that day nothing happend" makes me so unconfortable).

I wanted the game to feel very dreamy/ambigous/surreal and I'm happy to hear that I acomplish that, something like "it doesn't matter if this is reality or dream, the feelings are real"

I wanted to feel somewhat conclusive, part of me wanted to be evil and ending after the fade to pink of the window/little star falling/the story about Icarus but It felt too hopeless and I didn't like that.

Yes, the reactions of all the people around, forcing and judging based on their own expectations of gender, was painful to read... "It doesn't matter if this is reality or dream, the feelings are real" - wow, this quote summarizes the game absolutely perfectly!! I think you really conveyed that well!

Oh nooo, I'm glad that you didn't decide to end it there! I want them to be able to escape the expectations of others/accept themselves/overcome their traumas...of course not every story has to have a happy ending, but I hope that's the case!
