Just coming back here after subbing to the Patreon because--wow, it's worth it!
From the prologue to the developing chapters, the plot is fresh and perfect for a VN. There's mystery, defined worldbuilding, and events that progress the plot, but as the player I never felt as though I was being pushed into a specific route or playing style. There's plenty of room to breathe in this game. So far the game strikes a good balance of choices and actions the player can take so that it doesn't feel like a point and click novel, which I really appreciate!
I am a budding horror fan but a lifelong urban fantasy lover. The suspense and magic of the world is actually thrilling and I enjoy the ever increasing stakes as the game progresses. The various pulp horror tropes are played up to VN-appropriate levels and the characters are all totally believable in their actions and dialogue.
And....the ART. CHEF'S KISS. The three love interests are beautiful, duh, but all of the side characters are so fleshed out and detailed! All of the art assets in the game look so intentional and cohesive, nothing looks rushed or out of place. I really like the subtle changes in the sprites' expressions and clothing.
The voice acting??? 10/10. Every line is delivered in a way that sounds natural and the voices really fit the characters. I was pleasantly surprised to hear partial voice acting given that the game is pretty much just 1/3-ish of the way done, but I'm super happy about it.
I straight up expected this to be a major indie developer or something, the quality is that good. This game ticks all of the boxes for me: urban fantasy, horror, romance, hot toxic male leads, customization, amazing OST and voice acting, gorgeous visuals....
I know game development is time consuming and something this special takes a lot of work. I will be very happily replaying the demos as they come out and subbing to the Patreon because...wow. Thank you for this game.
Only a large game experience protected me from becoming addicted of this game. This is a very refreshing and story almost amazes with different opportunities.
But I got an "An exception has occurred." error after clicking Asha's journal entry (right after the "Next Day" part in Black's route after going to Hana's meeting in the gymnasium). Haven't yet tried it at other times as I think this is the first time the entry is there for me.)
I do have a screenshot and have replicated it a few times in case that's helpful!

Enjoying so far! :)

Thank you for letting me know! The journal entries aren't as fleshed out as the rest of the game, so I'll see if I can polish them up next update.
