I have to say, it's a shame I didn't download it first to experience the voice acting because it's genuinely amazing! You did amazing since your voice sounds quite young and soft, something that matches Mel's looks while also sounding the slightest bit deranged and calm like you're in control of the situation.
I also like how Mel doesn't show herself to be outwardly wrong, she just looks, acts, and feels unsettling until she slowly unravels how truly insane she is as she talks about creating her god. I wonder if she's trying to build a cult or if she has bigger ambitious than that.
I'm so curious over Mel's backstory, has she always been this insane in the head in childhood, or was it a budding seed that bloomed during her years in college, or did something happen that "opened her eyes" to the truth of gods?
I'm also curious over what will happen with MC and Mel now, if they'll be a crime duo together or if MC will just stay in the sidelines as Mel works to create what she envisions. Whatever it is, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
A simple and enjoyable experience for me, she made it so easy to crack jokes. I'm also a little curious on her statement in the game where she declares "A god needs sustenance, whatever that may be" Had me thinking she is more crazier than we gave her credit for, or she simply isn't as intelligent as we were told. If you can offer a god any sustenance, why choose people?! (Sorry about the tangent, I just found it a little funny. I can see where it makes sense for her to do what she did, if she chose a type of god that was previously created with that type of "Sustenance," but she claims she made her own, so that is why I'm in disbelief)
So I said in the video that I gave it a 9/10 but while I was editing the video, I had myself laughing and had a good time rewatching the video and I also replayed the game so I'M CHANGING MY MIND TO A 10/10 Great work! I really hope a lot more people find this game!
I really enjoyed the interview! it was really fun and very immersive thanks to the voice acting which was well made! The visuals are amazing, the artstyle felt nice to look at. I think you've done a great job on this game :D I'm looking forward to more stuff from you (⌒‿⌒)
I adore this, love folk horror and the way Mel describes her perspective on gods and her victims gave me a lot to chew on conceptually. A part of me hopes you expand upon these ideas to create a larger game, though this works well as a shorter experience.
"if you don't feed it, it dies." Those words of Mel's about creating a God have never been so accurate.
I don't know what demon or spell Mel put on us, but I swear it was amazinggg, I love supernatural, mythological stuff and everything in the middle, it's always fun to see these elements in a game! And for a short and quick game, it was super well done!
When she says "I cant die" I wonder if she's immortal, some entity or made some pact... aaah, there're so many questions! I wish this game was longer, really got interested in Mel.
I just leaned right in, I don't wanna mess with someone with her kind of power ha. The facial expressions are so good, they add so much menace to Mel, especially her slightly unhinged squinting-smile. I loved it. This was fun!

Despite how short it is, I really enjoyed this. Hope to see some sort of sequel to this game!
Really effective under the given limitations. Nice work!

I played the game on my channel here:
Really enjoyed.
I loved the concept of the game and the mystery of trying to figure out things about Mel. The voice acting is a really good touch too. Good job.
Here's my gameplay of it:
It is pretty good! c:
I love the thing about: only exists if you believe
She was an interesting individual :)
Great game, love the occult vibe in it. Got all 3 endings ;)

Was a fun detective/ interview style VN! Loved the little bit of supernatural lore in it and how that escalates and develops! Great job on it!

Fun fact: the whole time I thought there were 4 endings, just at the end I realized there's only 3 lol.
this is very well done but if im being honest i found mel way more annoying than scary
