Just discovered this one...gave it a quick run-through and so far not bad. Not going to write up a full review (yet), so I just have a few observations and notes:
- Rollback was added (apparently I missed the "no rollback" episodes) thank you! I saw it posted that it was taken out originally because you wanted to have people 'live with their decisions' - why? It's a game, and I personally would rather staple my face to the carpet than not be able to change a decision in a visual novel or game and have to play the whole damn thing over again (yes I can save, so that's my next point). At any rate, it's in the game so thank you!
- One person posted about the number of clicks to get complete a save...I think the standard 'right click' to open that menu is fine but I noticed it also had an option to load, typically the save is the immediate and only option and then if you wanted to load you would go to the menu to do so...was this intentional? Also, why, once it is saved, are there multiple clicks to get back to the game?
- Next point on the save: You can name them - this is great since I have a tendency to not want to play an entire game over, and over, and over, and over, ad nauseum to get all of the options. I save, name them so I know where I am at that point and then I can load a save and change my decision to take another path. So, again, thank you!
- Why does the text box take up 1/3 of the screen? I understand I can hit 'H' on the keyboard, I feel it is a bit distracting to the art I am supposed to be looking at in each scene. If it could be reduced to fit the text and lower on the screen I believe it would be visually more appealing.

As far as the aesthetics go, I like most of the models. I am not a fan of Meggie. Just a personal preference...not into 'frumpy looking emos' is all. I am not certain how old the sister is supposed to be, my impression was, initially, that she was 25+ and as I played more my opinion changed a bit, she still appears older with certain lighting and angles, but not too much of an issue - she is cute regardless
As far as the other models go I am impressed; they aren't some bastardization of an anime character with tits the size of blimps and an ass to match...I'm all for full figured and such, just not grotesque caricatures like so many of the models in games/novels. The rendering is well done and they are all attractive in some fashion (yes, even Meggie
) so keep up the good work on this (except that couch - Jesus, Mary and Joseph, that thing is reprehensible)
I am going to keep an eye on this one.
