This has progressed so much since I've last seen it! I especially enjoy the animated cut scene you had. I am a bit confused by all the story in the beginning. I feel like there is a way that could be condensed, because I feel like right when starting the game I have a lot to take in and memorize. But I also really like how many options there are for the dialogue.
For the art, I think some of it needs tightened up. The backgrounds appear rather low resolution and I think they need some more polish to match the character's detail.
For the design, as I stated earlier I find the world just a bit confusing, because there is a lot I'm being told at once. Perhaps we can find out that their parent's have died later in the game.
