This character art is GORGEOUS! I love it. A bit wordy, but you really get a feel for the story. Very well done!!

Fantastic art, and a well written story with interesting characters. I liked the bit with the demon dog at the end. My only advice would be to make the columns of text smaller, so they can be read down and not across, which makes for easier ready, like a page in a book.

A really fine text adventure! One of the best i have played in a long time. Very well written drama with a bit of dark humor strewn in there, fine variety of choices and above all very vivid and visceral disembodiment descriptions. The writer is very good.
You made nice character art but you went cheap with the backgrounds. To be honest they look like blurred out pictures and don't go with the character art at all. The text had some typos and orthographic errors here and there but the grammar and literature was spot on. I actually had to look up some words in the dictionary :).
I enjoyed it a lot and i actually played it twice to see different outcomes of dialogues. I LMAO at "hashtag eternal damnation" :D

Surprisingly enjoyable, for what it is :P The reading was tough to crunch through... Perhaps it's the layout, perhaps it's the sheer length. I think it would be prudent to break the long bits into smaller bits over screens, but that would have probably been difficult.

The art is super fun :)

The dog at the end is super fun too, I see you must've had fun writing his dialogue :)

I'm not sure if the game has a system - the Succubus required "two souls" - that I remembered - and I noticed the half soul thing, so you could get half from all 4 characters, or 1 whole one and two halves, or whatever... But I'm not sure if it would have made a difference to the ending. But I think it would be nice if you knew from the outset that you'd meet four dudes to harvest two souls from. Or some kind of hint (maybe I missed it).

And sometimes a selection wasn't crystal clear... I had told the library girl that I was going to take half, but the final selection assumed if I was gonna cackle I definitely would take the whole soul. Who knew cackling equated to murder :P

That was amusing. Very nice artwork. There was quite a bit going on in the story, and it had some nice humour. The text of the choices were a bit wordy at points, but great job overall!
