This is the second game in as many days that I've seen that could easily be slapped together in an afternoon. It's no surprise that there's also a Patreon to go along with it.
Why would I give you money? I know jack all about the story. I know jack all about your characters. It's YOUR job to make me care, make me WANT to give you money and you failed to take your one chance seriously. Your initial release needs to be the most robust, not something that looks like the average person can throw together in an afternoon. This type of release is insulting. You may as well have just thrown up a bunch of $$$ images and made every one of them link to your Patreon.
Sure, you have a couple of animated scenes that looked great, but then your first renders w/ Mr Coswold have his head clipping through his arms. The stark disparity in quality between the animations and renders make me wonder if the animations were stolen. Come back when you have at least 15 times the amount of actual content in the game. And I do mean at least.

Henvoxy, just some first impressions of mine, you might have read some of these on the previous pages already.
Render quality and character design look very, very good! Minor point is maybe the a bit excessive glitching on the strung up character.
Sounds were nice and could even be a bit louder. Usually I have to turn these down on other games.
The demo is too short! Many people go by very first impressions, so those matter a lot. Concerning writing, story, personalities, animation there is basically nothing I can even make a reliable guess on what I'm in for. The synopsis gives a little hint it's about discovering the MCs background and possibly the consequences thereof. But that can mean a lot of things, not something that puts it apart from the masses of new projects. The demo gave me a quite moody more dark fantasy impression from how it's presented, but the banner suggests a more lighthearted approach maybe?
TLDR: I have very little idea of what I'm in for after this. We get way too many projects with similar description to set this apart.
Shorter first releases are surely ok for checking initial reception and have feedback to work on, but I think this is so short it's detrimental and people may not give it the chance it might deserve. I really can't tell, because I don't know you and what your future work might look like or what you planned.
So I hope you can get an update with some content out to not miss out on the initial interest, because the renders and characters do look great! I would really like to see the rest of the cast and what story binds it all together. Anyway, that's just my personal take on it. I hope this doesn't come off as overly negative. I do like the theme presented in the renders, you did catch my attention and I will be looking out for this, so I want it to work out for you =)
But I will 100% need another update to even know for sure if it will be my cup of tea.
Good luck going forward and thank you for the share!
Cheers

I completely understand where you're coming from regarding the short length of the demo, and I really appreciate your detailed feedback. The main reason I opted to release it at this stage was exactly what you pointed out. Gathering early impressions and refining my approach based on them.
While I have some experience with coding and video editing, 3D rendering is still new to me. Because of that, I often second-guess whether a character or a scene looks good enough, leading me to create multiple variations before settling on something I feel works. Getting real audience feedback helps me improve in ways I might not notice on my own.
Also, since English isn’t my first language (I’m from Brazil), writing and communicating everything the way I want can be a challenge, so feedback like yours really helps me see how things come across to others.
My goal is to build a space where I can share progress and involve the community in shaping the project. Based on what you've said, I’ll definitely consider expanding the next update to give a stronger first impression. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Pretty decent start. A little too short, IMO. Grammar and punctuation need work.
I can see the potential, but hopefully, it doesn't get too depressing.
I wish you much success.

Important question: Is the content going to be forced? More specifically, lesbians, femdom, among others, or can it be avoided (be careful, avoid (that doesn't happen), or omit (that happens but is not seen))?

All these scenarios will be choice-based. I see them as part of 'quests' where you can engage in the ones that interest you and skip the ones that don’t. I'll make sure to be extra clear when a choice leads to kinks.
As for whether it will be avoided or omitted, that varies, but it will mostly be avoided.
