That's all the typos I noticed.

So, overall I enjoyed the game. I thought the story was fine, but not as good as After Midnight. At first, I was a bit like, "wait, jail again? Didn't we do that in Hazel?" but then it went to a lot of other places. The length of the story was really good, even if some of the variations (especially in the endings) seemed so minor as to not really matter enough to have branching (way too many variations of attacking one guy or another). But I'm not _really_ complaining about more content. :)

Evelyn was the most interesting character to me, and her ending with Odette and her death ending were my favorites. Lilith was the least interesting character to me, and the flirting often felt really forced.

The poems were mostly horrible, but I just attribute that to Odette being a terrible poet. I mean, rhyming "bound" with "abound" is pretty bad...

I was fine with the amount of sex, even if it was a bit tilted towards anal. Hey, I'll take that over foot stuff, too bad the footie scene was with Evelyn.

Shame to say, I was not very fond of the semi animated cartoon section. The art really took a hit in that, way too simplistic looking compared to the regular art.

All in all, a good release, I think, hope it does well.

Spoiler:
Odette's blood in the flashback scene, it's from killing Gaston before she kills Lara afterwards. But I forgot to describe the fact that when she kills him things gets a bit more messy. Anyway will edit the story to justify better that
Spoiler:
But she isn't bloody in the CG when she's killing Lara, is she? Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but all I know is it confused me at the time I was reading it.

Preferences mean the Nameless God isn't impartial but likes/dislikes certain people :)

Yes I knew myself that this kind of story (journey) couldn't have been as good as After Midnight, I admit I made some choices based more on fanservice or meeting players' tastes (see the feet thing lol) than purely what I wanted to write, but I wasn't really "forced" to do anything. I just wanted to write a different story I guess :)

Considering Evelyn was probably one of the most popular secondary character I ever wrote (in After Midnight) I really put a lot of effort on her, I admit. My favorite ending which I consider canon is God's Bet, but without triad route I'd pick that one too (Evelyn ending).

The cartoon was an experiment, since I wasn't sure either what could have been the result. I can't blame artist since she's just a single person (at least I think) but in any case it's an experiment I won't repeat, since with that amount of money I could have done like... 20-30 more "comic style" pictures (even if that artist takes forever to make them, so... not sure).

I hope it does well too since I spent a lot of time/money on this project. Ironically, I spent more money on House of Chavez but that's due to all the adventure part, detailed backgrounds, etc!
