Thank you for your feedback and interest! The full game will be commercially available through itch; however, we may release free/low-cost DLC in the future.
When going back to play a second and third time to make new choices, I noticed that the "Skip" button doesn't work. I'm not sure if that's a coding error or if it was left like that intentionally, but I hope it's something that will be fixed once the full version is released. It would also be helpful to have the regular save option instead of just the quick one, and to allow us to save on choice screens. It's much easier for me going back when I can just click on the load screens with choices so I can pick new options right away instead of having to start over every time. And at least letting us skip to the choices would be better than going through the whole thing.
Also, the demo gave us a choice screen for all the love interests except for the twins. We didn't have any options with them, while we got two for interactions with Jun. It's not a big deal but I would have liked to have equal opportunities with everyone.
Overall I enjoyed the game though, and am looking forward to playing the full version.
We are already aware of the skip function issue and it will be fixed for the full game as well as the save/load feature.
Regarding the twin's scene, we felt that a decision was not necessarily needed for their particular conversation. There will of course be more options for each route in the full game. So, rest assured! Each route is getting the same amount of love.
Finally managed to find the time and play the demo. It was a very enjoyable and unique experience - I've never seen a game where you play as a character such as Rei. I especially enjoy the fact that while he's a cold blooded killer when trying to discover the Doctor's methods, in his everyday life he's such a grouch and can actually be pretty funny too. It's a nice contrast. I'm also pleasantly surprised by Minami - I don't usually like characters like him, but he really has a charm I didn't expect to see!
The demo was pretty short so I'm not able yet to make a really detailed review, though I must mention something that really bothered me. In the settings, you have the "Censorship" option - but I have no clue if a yes means "Yes, apply the censorship" or if it means "Yes, the gore/sex will appear", or if you'd rather have the opposite, then I don't know if a no means "No, don't apply censorship" or "No, don't show the gore/sex". It's really confusing as I don't know if I have to check or uncheck it to actually get to see the mature content, and even when I was trying both things during the slighly gorey CG, I didn't see any difference so I guess it wasn't hardcore enough to apply for this...
Regarding the censoring option, we'll make it more obvious in the full game in order to avoid more confusion. The CGs receive different types of censoring depending on how graphic they are, so in this case, the demo CG did not need much censoring so the difference in negligible.
Are you able to host the demo on itch.io itself or something? I tried to download from mega but it keeps freezing early on in the download - 27% and claims that it's downloading at a good speed but the completion rate doesn't move at all even after 2 hours. Initially I had problems trying to even get mega to start downloading so I don't feel too optimistic about being able to try the demo.

Sorry for my last response! I did manage to download it just fine this time, and I enjoyed the demo so I backed your KS. I look forward to the full game! :D

Super interesting concept! Looking forward to the whole game. Will the full version be free or commercial?

Of course. I feel silly, but I'm glad that was the problem. Thanks!
