Looks interesting, followed.

Initial thought on the renders are the sister and mother look more like siblings than mother and daughter.

Hi there! Loving the renders!

If I may, few comments:
1. I liked the way you presented the warning screen with the flight attendant but some of the words arent clearly visible as the others when they are on top of her body.
2. Start menu buttons , not really my taste of the whole diamonds and color of the shapes. They are hard to read and to look at.
3. Choices , Names and Text boxes: as per point number 1 and 2 same applies. Text will merge with the background and be hard to look at. You could have a solid background for the all the above and add in an option to clear the UI so people will enjoy the whole clear CG.

That's based on the video I saw, you can totally ignore my comment but I just had to say it out there. Best of luck with your game! :)

A default option in Ren'py is to hit 'h' to hide the ui and enjoy the scenery. I've made sure the text will be legible against the background. As well, the text box is highly transparent so as to not interfere too much with the backgrounds itself. I know it looks a bit amateurish, and that's because it is! I've never done anything like this before. The UI may see an overhaul at some point, especially if player feedback is negative upon the first release. I might even give the player the option to choose between different styles and themes. It would be fairly easy to program, would just involve more time making different interfaces. Since I want android releases, I'm going to have to learn how to customize the interface on the fly anyway.
Dont take as anegative, as it is a discouraging term and it makes me feel bad for saything anything.

As for giving the player choices of different style/themes it sounds as a good idea, but this will involve more load on your work. I'm thinking it might require maintenance if you decided to change the layout of the UI, as you will be forced to change all the other sets to match. It's better to stick to one, and make it from your own style.

You cant satisfy everyone with a specific style but if you can impress the majority then that's a winner.

PS: Your voice sounds like one those voice-over actors :) nice, collective and clear voice.

PS on the PS: just to clear the air, totally not hitting on you :p

2+ months and no Demo....
So this thread is an announcement for an IDEA for a new game?

I was curious if the renders we see in this thread make it into the game, since the previews don't match the website sneak peaks. Placing this link in my "check in 2020" bookmark folder.
