Excellent first project I must say, it is a decent visual novel with a story that'll surely be like those old childhood tale. A few constructive criticism I can offer: First, if possible don't use copyrighted music. It will deter some let's player from exploring this game. The system detected two copyrighted music but I don't know if there's more. Second, try to reduce the size of the dialog box, there's so many wasted space since not all the space in the box are used for text and also with the size it covers the game art, which of course can be walked around by using H to hide the UI but that would defeat the ergonomic purposes, or you can try to make the art size more fitting so it doesn't clash with the dialog box. The most noticeable of this is the part where Daniel soul are being shown in the well as the dialog box covers the flower.


Lastly this is only an opinion, but with this kind of story I think it will suit it better if it's a kinetic visual novel. Though it can be argued that being choice based is still excellent.


Now with all being said, it comes from not a professional, so I can be very wrong of course and there's no need to care about my advice. Either way, nice game!

Awesome criticism, thank you so much for it! I am really touched by the incentive and motivated to do better on my next project.
