well just for starters anything that happens at the sun we dont know about for several minutes. And as elasstommer pointed out an asteroid it a VERY unlikely candidate to do ANYTHING of note to the sun. I get that we're a long way from 'the big reveal' of answers but the premise here is VERY shoddy.
The rest is solid, you just need to clean up that intro some.

No offense, but just enjoy the game (or don’t. it’s up to you). Seriously, it’s a brand-new game, and we haven’t even gotten an explanation yet. Let’s not forget, it’s just a game. There are plenty of games with magic and all kinds of crazy, unrealistic stuff.

To the dev: I actually like the game so far; it seems really interesting!

nothing wrong with suggesting improvements dude, as Ive said already the rest of the game is solid. Just this one area needs work. Esp as the nerd kid(on the school path) would also point these things out

All good, but again its early. Lets see :) Also my point was simply "Its a game, everything can happen, even if it doesnt make sense"

Can someone tell me if the sounds and music are okay? Cuz I think it's kind of quiet and there's a need to turn up the overall volume.

well right from the start the sound effects like the birds are far to loud in comparison to the music on a new clean installation. And while I normally crank down the music and effects to around 25% for me personally the music is really faint on 100%

love the background humour

maybe make the thing that deletes the sun a bit more noticeable in the renders, i had to skip back multiple times till i saw it.

after you help the people on the road the condition asks for alice_love = 3 but at this point you could have higher love so it should be alice_love>=3

That helping the people on the road locks you out on shooting the wounded soldier is dumb. imho even if you want to help people doing it is the morally right choice. You not only spit on him by denying his wish but you bring all off you into danger with it. Not even talking on leaving a total perfect gun.

Thank you very much for the response. I made the music louder and fixed the conditions. About the sun explosion - you'll know why it's not that visible in the next update. About the soldier, I see your point. I'll change it in the next update so you can help people and kill the soldier. (also, even if you don't kill him, you take the gun with you because of Luna)

i cheated and did it myself. glad you will change that. MC gets the compassionate trait for helping not the moron trait ^-^

he saw one turned person up close already. The Soldier is bleeding out and told them people turn do to "zombie" wounds. Granting him a quick death is the mercy full thing to do and the savest for everyone.

MC not having the chance to do it would only make sense if the ingame universe has no concept of zombies at all and because of that MC has never seen a movie or read a book about them. Which in turn would make Lunas action kinda wacky.

other than that i commend you on Alice she is a really great first LI for the game.

Just came across this today. From reading the overview, the story looks to be interesting. If the choices really do matter then this game sounds like it'll be a great experience. I'll check it out.

I also noticed that error, but in my case, it happened when you help the people on the road and then decide to kill the soldier, and that error appears asking if the moon killed him. When you decide to ignore the people on the road, it only gives you the option to kill only the soldier, and then the dialogue is correct.

Yeah, my bad, already fixed it. Will be okay in the next update. Please share more bugs if you see something, I'd really appreciate that. The code is getting messier with all the choices so I might miss something.
