This is a super small first release.
There is a single scene, and about 10 minutes of reading.
So this review will mostly be based on the presentation and mechanics, as there isn't a lot of content to review so far.
The CSS is a mess: it's nice in a coding way; lots of fancy effects, colors, and such, but it's really bad for a text-based game:
You have text elements scaling up, or fading in as you scroll, which gets annoying real quick.
There's also one quick time event that requires you to click arrows on the screen.
It gives the impression that the dev is following tutorials and trying to integrate them into the game just for the sake of it, without them adding anything of value, and in fat detracting from the experience.
There are a few grammar errors, but nothing major.
At the start the game lets you set your relationship with the sister and mother, but not with the father, so even if you change the mother for something else, he'll still treat her as his wife.
The passages themselves seem to work fine. The only error I encountered was with the day tracking: it displayed Sunday when it was Monday.
So... yeah, not a lot to see or review at the moment. I'll park the score at a 3.
