AAAA—this is absolutely a masterpiece! I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!!
I’m a little too excited, just let me start from this!
UI design, page layout, and font choices are all so pleasing to the eye. They made it incredibly easy to stay immersed in both the story and visuals.
Next, the music, sound effects, and scene direction—they all blended so well into the atmosphere. The background music was perfectly chosen for each moment, and the sound effects—like opening/closing doors or whispering voices—really deepened the sense of immersion. (Some of the daily-life tracks felt like old friends to me, haha, still wonderful to hear! The door sound effect when leaving the King’s room startled me the first —I thought it was a scream, oops... My favorite BGM is the one that plays during the journey—so relaxing and soothing.)
The text effects, like the shifting between white and red or the glitch-style distortions, were also used to convey danger and tension. I was scared =w= but better than a jumpscare...
Now onto the characters—they are so well drawn! Delicate and beautiful. I was especially impressed by the Old King’s eyes during those oppressive scenes with the protagonist, and Anselm’s expressions—his subtle smirk when he’s happy or angry were just unforgettable.
Finally, the story itself—I saved this for last because it’s the part I loved the most.
With just a few strokes, you set up the world and the protagonist’s current situation clearly and effectively. The tone, the atmosphere, and the protagonist’s goal are all well established from the beginning. The characters—King Anduin, Anselm, Clyde, and the mysterious ???—are vivid and full of life.
Beyond the above amazing contents, what surprised me even more was how “Choices that matter” actually meant what it said! The protagonist’s decisions genuinely impact the story’s direction. I originally intended to collect all the content, so I saved at each choice point and tried out different options—and wow, I didn’t expect so many branching paths and new texts! Now I’m completely hooked and incredibly curious about what’s going to happen next.
Thank you so much for this demo! Wishing you the very best for the rest of the development—you’ve already created something amazing! ❤️❤️
