Good start, and once Chapter 1 is finished, I'm sure it will improve dramatically.  Great art and interesting story idea so far.  I won't rehash the grammatical issues others have mentioned so far; you are already addressing those, but only had a limited time frame to prepare your entry for the game jam, something many of the other NovemBEAR developers can relate to. 😅  Keep up the good work.

I love this game, i love the colors, the character designs, i especially love all their personalities and the repeated use of "A kiss and a prayer" was also a nice touch. The characters are written so well that they feel like real people. Hopefully you all make more stuff.

Top notch sprites ; the yet-to-be coloured backgrounds honestly work as is ; original music fucking slaps. I have no more to say about the audiovisuals because they're just very good.

I have many things to say about the story, but they'd be spoilers which you don't want before playing this game. So I'll simply say that it's a rollercoaster of dread and confusion, with prose that really knows how to paint a picture. Also, the implications of certain lines...

Exactly my kinda vibe <3

Absolutely loved the traditional art used for this game. Making a creature of equal parts cute and scary, that looks like it had been drawn by a possessed child in a horror would not have worked as well in any other art medium. It's even more expressive with the little animations!

I'm not sure what write about the story as most things would be a spoiler. I can say that it spins a complex narrative that really hits during its short runtime. And that anyone not having experienced this game yet definitely should!

The sprite art in this game is of course very adorable, having the vibe of cutesy bara (the women are drawn like this as well, which I very appreciated). As the game is made in RPG Maker, the environments are made like overworld maps. A neat detail is that the characters are represented with triangle-like shapes to denote their positions in the rooms, which is honestly very clever! 

The story is slice-of-life with a bit of character drama; albeit that I don't usually enjoy the genre too much, the short length makes it work for me on a personal level. We also have a main character with so much anxiety that I'm begging for him to allow himself a crumb of self-confidence. It should be noted that it didn't come off as grating however, which seems to be a hard thing to pull off with this type of character. I did in fact root for him :)

The only thing that could be considered a negative is that the music is somewhat too standard, not doing much aside from portraying the general emotions of the scene. The tracks could also become repetitive, but with the short runtime this is not an actual issue. 

Very good job to the creator (and it may have inspired me to perhaps making something outside of ren'py for a future, so thank you for that <3 )!
