@umbralshadows ,

It seems i'm the first one to review your product.
Well let's get started.

What did i like ?
- A nice opening screen.
- The game had a good start.
- I like the fonts you used.
- Its easy to play.
- I like the artstyle, i know its not Anime standards, but any self drawn picture means that you put efford into it.
- The music is nice and fitting for every moment.
- I like the whole story ;)
What i didn't like ?
- During a "battle sequence with QTE's" when you fail the tutorial repeats itself.
- During the first act, at times i felt bad when i remembered how my past was, i'd rather forget it.
- QTE's have a small time window.
What did i notice ?
- When i opened the folder with the Exe in it, i came across a Txt file, and it contained your username and email, be sure to remove it.
- Lumin didn't have a right hand in the image you see in act 3.
What can be improved ?
- Not much actually, but i can recommend something.
What can i recommend ?
- I really enjoyed the story, and that is the point of your game, what i recommend is to get VN Maker when its released, I just know that you can explain the story more detailed as a full visual novel ;)
My final words.
There wasn't much gameplay, but i didn't put it in the list because its a visual novel, i enjoyed the story, its well written, and when i played i feel that you put your heart and soul into it.
All by all you did a very good job.

You're welcome, i can't say the art is rushed, but i'm looking forwards to your update.
Also the half moon and sun masks reminds me of 2 rare hunters from Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yeah i can find some refferences XD.
