hello! had some fun with this game, and super interested in seeing where it goes! 

- i personally LOVE the art style, and i love the sleek minimalist design of the ui. i would love to see an expansion of more animations for the characters and monsters! as others have mentioned, there's a bug where the cleric's image shows as the rogue's in the party list. additionally, there are times in battle where people will overlap, so it makes it hard to see the damage and effects. 

- personally, i don't mind not knowing the turn order since it makes it a bit of a challenge! according to my friend, it is inspired from darkest dungeon! i did have a slight issue with the monsters showing the range on the left side since i did not know what they meant? i did not know at all what these numbers meant, but my friend did based on her knowledge! i think in a further developed version, it could be helpful if there was some sort of tutorial / ui explanation?

- when you attack a monster, there is nothing in the textbox to remind you of that - whereas other people have "(x) is healing," etc. i think it'd be good if that was there again (mostly because i am a bit forgetful whoops)! also a redo or some sort of final confirmation for the turn would be great as well!

- i know people are upset about the laugh track in some odd ways, but personally i find it HILARIOUS as is. i really don't think it needs changes, but maybe you could either implement a volume slider for it or a checkbox to deactivate it. 

all in all, it was a pretty cool demo! i would be excited to see more, and hope for the best for you!

hey, i just wanted to comment that this has an amazing chapter 1 so far! it felt like an incredibly strong entry, and i really can't wait for more :) i think a lot of visual novel games tend to spout that they have yandere  characters, but i genuinely think this is one of the few times i have actually felt they held a dangerous vibe! a lot of times they're just possessive, but this seto makes me think, "ah, mc really is in danger, huh?" i think your writing is great for that. (also the art where android!seto eyes glowed?? that was great *chef kiss*)

i really look forward to seeing more! i think someone mentioned it, but it'd be nice if there was a more simpler font choice for reading accessibility :) also, there were some issues with the back button for me? sometimes i would click it and it would turn into "none" and progress forward, even though i wanted to progress backward. so it would take a few tries to go back.

nonetheless, great writing and interesting premise so far! i definitely look forward to following your progress and seeing more :) do you think you would have methods for supporting your team in the future? i would love to purchase the game or something to support the game's development.

thanks to the team for everyone's hard work; it really shined brightly!

i had a really nice time playing this game! i love the character interactions so far, but i hope to get more of the other campmates than just the romantic partner :3 i feel like they'd all be a fun group to be around !!!

i can't wait to see how the mystery unravels! looking forward to the full release!

1.  Who was your favorite character and why?

probably al! i like math but honestly he just cracks me up so badly lmfao poor dude was dealing with the main character even before the universe went all whacko

1.  What was your favorite scene in the game and why?

i liked the scene with al in the nurse's office for cuteness, but graham's ridiculous slapfest probably took the cake for absurd humor

1.  Would you want a full length version of this game?

sure i think it'd be fun to play !!

additionally, i wanted to mention i really liked the soundtrack chosen for this game !! it was very fitting, and fake jam is such a soothing song?? i loved it a lot!

Which character was your favorite? Why?

it's a pretty hard choice, but i think i lean just enough towards theo to mark him as my favorite! i like the fact that he has his own life set: there's no need to "save" him, so to speak? he has a majority of his life together, and has a solid sense of independence! i liked that his route was about open and honest communication, even if it was difficult to bridge that gap sometimes.

Did you manage to make all the guys on the main screen regain their color?

i did!

What's your favorite moment in the game?

absolutely when tristan is doing his stand up routine and brought up the fact that ricky rodent stole his wife lmao i think i was straight up dying of laughter at that point

Do you want a Mark route?

lmaooooooooooooooooooo no, i think i'll pass. not to say that i don't think the writers could write a very compelling story for him! but he is just not my type, and i genuinely feel he has more important things to process before entering any sort of relationship :')

Would you replay the game if it were fully voiced?

probably not, only because i don't care much for voices! i just skip through the line since i read faster than the line plays.

Final notes:

in general, i really enjoyed this game! i loved how all of the writing felt very real, and the conflicts in each route was something that anyone could relate to. i also was a huge fan of the protagonist being able to stand as her own character: she was a good balance of understanding and kind, but also upfront when necessary. i love main protagonists that aren't submissive / pushovers! everything about this game was just *chef kisses* wonderful.

if i could request any additions for games going forward, i think the possibility of a gender neutral (or even choosing pronouns) for the protagonist would be amazing!
