Absolutely adored this! The pixel art of the characters is great, and the way the models have been textured and rendered mimic their drawn appearance very well - the pixelated rendering stops the transition between the 2D dialogue sequences and the 3D world traversal from being jarring. The SFX and Music was amazing, especially fond of the messy chaotic sounds of that insane memory and then when the creature chases you. Just the general art direction is.. perfect. It's all so cohesive and satisfying to look at. The story already has me hooked, so I can't wait to hear about future developments!
if there will be asterisk merch, i will be buying.
Loved the narrative journey the game takes you on, the artstyle is beautiful especially in the 3d environment. The characters feel like people in the world with backstories of their own that you've just stumbled upon within the game which really adds to making you like them and adds to the mystery of what exactly is going on. Cannot wait to support this when it comes out as a full release, yippee!
