I mean... 0.1.5 and 0.15 are literally the same thing... either way it suggests 15% completion.

Version numbers don't refer to % completion, except perhaps coincidentally. It's a matter of labeling releases, which doesn't reflect the amount of work done in each release.

The game uses semantic versioning (semver). The numbers does not refer to completion rate.
Example: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
MAJOR - major version. changes are incompatible with previous major version
MINOR - minor version. adds new functionality or improves existing functionality but still backwards compatible
PATH - patch version. backwards compatible bug fixes

It's a dream you are sending to Hermione. It seems later on it's up to you, whether you want to manipulate the girls to fall for you, just make them distance themselves from certain persons or turn them into public cumdumpsters.
Considering that, it makes perfect sense not to use your own image at the start, as you can choose several ways in which they react to the game, so they could associate the MC/Malfoy with something negative if he appeared in the dream.
Game's got potencial, really nice artstyle, a smart choice when it comes to the period the story covers (after Voldy, but before Potter Dad), BUT, the lack of content is a bummer. I know it's in it's begginings and all, but I don't think it justifies, it would be way better if this came a bit later but with more stuff to do and see.
All in all, I'll keep an eye out.

Most of us prefer bug free final builds, but that's not how Patreon funded passion projects work.
I got you, just saying a first release with more stuff would be a better "sell".
so, i got here looking for another game, actually. if anyone can find it i'd be gratefull.
its also a harry potter parody on renpy, but i remember being completed. i didnt get very far, but i remember two girls being bound by a magical contract that they signed in the past. thats all i got

Am I the only one that thinks playing Draco would be fun? I am by no means a HP fan since I only watched the movies and read the first book, but even then I thought HP characters were so flat and generic cookie cutter characters with no meaningful character development or depth to them.
It annoyed me that Harry's nemesis / rival Draco basically never actually did anything other than come out in every scene and acted snobby like a 5 year old then get instantly beat down every time. As for Harry everything he does / achieve just seems to fall into his lap because of deus ex machina and the fact that he has stupid a lightning bolt scar on his head, none of it seems due to any real skill or merit.
That is why I think playing Draco as a MC would be great because you can finally give a character who basically just gets treated as a cliche skilless douchey comical relief some actual character and give him the chance to succeed for once if he wasn't stuck in a world where Harry and his friends have ridiculous amount of plot armor.
Also Harry and pretty much everyone in Griffindor are pretty much hypocritical smug douches themselves, they break a bunch or rules and do a ton of bad things also, but get a free pass from everyone since they are simply part of the protagonist's tribe, imagine if the main character was Draco from the start instead of Harry, everyone would see how douchey Harry is and his only real noteable trait is that he has a scar from Voldemort. You would see Draco's struggles also and that he probably has a bigger moral dilemma and room to grow than Harry does due to the fact that he has to chose between the evil stuff he is taught by his father versus how to be good and normal from what he experiences and is taught in school.

I'm not sure why you said "even then". Chances are that if you see less than the whole story, things will seem lacking to you, not the other way around.
I'm not gonna agree, or disagree with your statement that (all?) characters were flat, generic characters. This is more than true for some, not so much for others. Draco being a decent enough example of the latter, he just never had much time to shine, partly due to reasons you mentioned.
But this is also why some people (myself included) feel hesitant about Draco being the MC in this. It just doesn't really fit his personality, depending on where it goes.
I said "even then" because I assume the movies probably cut out a bunch of stuff and only put emphasis on a few main characters, and showed their most important defining characteristics by highlighting key moments from the books. In the movies they were flat and they had literally no personality... I read the first book and half of the second book after watching the movies and I didn't see them get anymore depth than what was in the movies. Considering the fact that I read a book and a half and don't remember a single memorable or notable detail from them... I don't think there was anything in the other books that would have massively changed the perception I got of the characters from the movie. The fact that I read the first book and half way through the second one about 5 years ago and don't remember anything from them is quite telling to me due to the fact that I can remember most of the details and characters of almost every other book I read for the past 20 years. But anyways that is besides the point and moot at this point since my opinion on the matter has changed after playing the demo.
I wasn't aware the game was starting at the end of the series when I wrote my original post. I had not played the demo at the time, since I was just reading through the thread. I honestly thought that the game was going to start when they first arrive at Hogwarts... or a few months into their first school year. Which is why it made sense to me that Draco could / would be the main character... since you would have a chance to take him down an alternate route from what was established in the movies / books. After playing the demo I agree it seems weird to be playing Draco at this point and time since Hermione and Ron's relationship are already established, and Ginny and Harry are also... not to mention all the crap that Draco has already done, and how he was douchey to everyone. At this point in the timeline it makes it super hard for Draco to convince anyone to do anything willingly without straight up mind control. Even if he does what the ghost tells him to do... by driving a wedge in Hermione and Ginny's relationship with their boyfriends by giving them negative perceptions after dreams... the likelihood of them willingly overcoming their dislike for Draco even with magical assistance is unlikely.
