So so happy to hear you're looking at the game this way
I did read DDLC, but I was drawing more inspiration from stuff like Lessons in Love and Wonderful Everyday for this.

Yeahh, definitely understand the short length as a drawback - wanted to get something new out without dragging on development for toooo long, but future projects will definitely be meatier!
I have some recommendations on the purely technical side of things. First you can use a image converter to change your .png files to .webp files reduce file size significantly. I use the program Advanced Batch Image Converter (ABIC, available on source forge) and at 95% quality it reduces file size of a .png by around 85-90% with very minimal concessions on image quality. You seem to be using some .webp images in your game so maybe you figured this out towards the end of development and couldn't be asked to go back and convert the old files.
The second recommendation is for HS2. In character creation when changing hair you can select between hair 1 and hair 2 for the rendering method of your character's hair. I'm 99% sure you're using hair 1 as their is a lot of pixilation around the edges of hair. Hair 1 only looks decent when you're rending at high resolution (4k+) and even then only when rendering close up shots. Hair 2 sacrifices a small amount detail up close at high resolution, but ends up looking a lot cleaner around the edges compared to hair 1. Finally, and you might be doing this already, rending screenshots at 4k and then downscaling them to 1080p generally results in better final images compared just to rendering at 1080p.
Best of luck in future endeavors.

Well, that was disappointing. Just kinda seem like a moral rant.
it's still an out, she stay the same from start to finish, the only change is that she now don't "love" her uncle anymore, nothing else is shown about her mind in text, it is hard to show any mesure of corruption in a 30/40 min game after all

That's...not a normal setting, is it?
Like, you went out of your way to deform his face, right?

That pretty much nails it imo. Game should've had probably 2 or 3 more scenes over which she actually got corrupted, then had daddy find the videos on her phone all on his own which could then lead to the ending.
the only character who somehow become corrupted is the father and the game isn't about him that's not nailling it :S
game is barely a prologue and an add for another game, more scene are clearly needed before she get corrupted (unless dev give us a peek at her thought) aslo her rant on her father isn't needed, it could bring something in a much longer game, but here it's just wasting time and make no sense, same for the flashback, both those scene are part of the reason i think she does not change
Anyone else think that Frank looks more like a grandpa instead of an uncle. The girls dad could be franks son based on how old each looks.

So the 'choices' only change some of the text in right after the 'choice', but does not affect the actual story itself. Really needs a few extra endings, maybe a few more corruption scenes, but else-wise it is pretty decent. Didn't really care for the crayon like drawings, which seemed to be about the mental trauma.

Looks like a bunch of snowflakes giving it 1 star reviews now. Unfair imo
You should have added the rape tag from the beginning and put up a warning though. Its clear that many people interpret "corruption" in a more vanilla way, which this clearly is not.
Hope this won't prevent you from making more stuff, because you're very talented and I love the fact you're trying something different.

So that was a fucking lie. No matter what you choose it is all the same, all it does impact is if you see first sex scene and/or fingering.
I desperately need a strategy. The only ending is to die from being shot in the beginning.
