This is a fantastic game. I've played a number of ren'py-based adult games and have to say that this title stands out in my opinion.
In particular I think the setting of the story is quite refreshing and its progress so far is interesting, too.
Characterization and character progress of the main character(s) (and honestly, most if not all other characters as well) are handled very well. They have me waiting to see where the story takes them next at any rate and I (somewhat similar to the main character) have begun to care about them (to a degree of course). That is an impressive feat to achieve for any writer. So my appreciation and commendations for that.
The writing and use of language (inner dialogue in particular) obviously are the main tools for this. In other words: great writing, keep up the good work!
The choices available in-game feel quite impactful. That is another really good thing for a game of this sort. I hope the developer can keep this up in the future, when more characters and/or further story developments continue to complicate things. It would be important to keep close watch on the story not being forcefully limited too much (which might make the player feel like the decisions are no longer that important) and on the other hand keep the characters likeable and true to their characterization so far. This is not a problem at the moment, perhaps just something to look out for in the future.
Now I don't know much about rendering or animations. But what I have seen in this game looks great and is definitely at least on par with other games out there.
Let me finish by saying again that I think this is a great game which I definitely will keep an eye out for in the future.
Thanks for your hard work!
