Version 0.5 Review:
Graphically, I wasn't expecting such well-crafted AI art. I'm no expert, but the character models, environments, and animations are far above average.
I also appreciate the sounds, both BGM and SFX, something many games don't do or do poorly.
Regarding the story and characters, I admit I'm a little biased, as I love the fantasy genre, but I still found both the world and the story very interesting. I've read a few people complain about the character writing, but personally, I appreciated both the dialogue and the character architypes. I'm curious to see how the NTS portion will evolve, but for now, I consider it promising.
Perhaps the only flaw that worries me for the future is the heavy-handedness of some themes, which are introduced in a somewhat "dark" way. I'm referring primarily to the part about the torture of witches with crystals implanted in their bodies. As much as I like the opening, I'm a little worried it's approached in a slightly too dark manner, and personally, I'd appreciate it if the whole thing were explored in a more lighthearted and erotic way. However, I understand some players' desire to maintain a darker, more serious tone, so I'd perhaps recommend splitting the player's choices to accommodate their preferences.
Overall, I think it's an extremely interesting project that I'll definitely keep an eye on.
