Real happy to hear you wanna replace the AI art. If it would be helpful, I'd like to,I dunno, apply I guess to help make the character sprites or CGs?
Good luck on reaching your goal!
oh wow the change in UI is impressive! you guys must've worked hard!
this chapter is also a lot more involved, and having so many characters all at once must have been both fun to write and also difficult to keep track of. good job you guys, i'm so excited for this next installment!
I did notice at the start there's words that will have double letters at the start (Iit's instead of it's) and when Mr Torrance first appears a line of dialogue is repeated.
chucky's first line there's a typo "appeard" instead of "appeared"
Much as I enjoy the premise, and lemme also say i LOVE the glimpses into the MC's mental state as well, but the demo itself feels a lot like a first draft to me. I understand Day 1 is meant to be an introduction to the cast, but the mentioning of the regulars I thought were cameos for Patreon supporters before I saw them on the creators socials. There was a lot of telling instead of showing which ain't BAD but didn't always feel necessary for a visual novel ("he let out a small laugh and smiled" then seeing his sprite change to a smile when we could just have the sprite change). For the ending when you're being chased by the serial killer, there was also a bit too much internal dialogue to keep the tension & momentum going.
Ok ok I know I'm harping a lot about stuff, but I DID enjoy playing this and I really wanna know how the story plays out! I just hope that the first day will also get updated as well as the project moves forward is all.
This was a fun demo! The moment when the lights shut off was an interesting subversion, but didn't really add too much. I DO like the boss though, and how every character is so fleshed out.
I wonder if Darius takes a shower before visiting the MC, since no one comments on the fish smell. I can imagine that would get comments, or would get him kicked out of some establishments if he didn't have such a good relationship with the staff (or add to his inferiority for working a 'dirty' or 'low class' job)
idk! this was fun to play and i can't wait for more ! !
