Definitely interested. I shall try out this demo, too, as I've never played a VN before

This game is in my wishlist since it was released. So of course I won't let this opportunity pass. Consider me interested!

Played through the demo, below are some scattered impressions:
- Ive read a lot about the game on Steam and have been interested in a while. Guess this thread gave me a push to try it out. As some background I like more realistic VNs (like Root Double)
- The first thing that struck me in the demo was the music. It kind of subtly drills into your brain and has an overall uneasy tone to it, even during the "lighthearted" parts. Reminds me of Nier
- The art style is still hit or miss me. I like the character art and how unique it looks. But some of the backgrounds are really impressionist, and they range from pretty bland to really pretty amazing
- The whole thing reminds me of the anime Monster, where there is like a horrible thing under the surface that the player doesn't know about but can kind of infer is happening and that paints the whole experience as tense. So I guess consider me interested to play more haha

Heard good things about this visual novel and am interested. Thanks for the giveaway!
First impressions : Really liked the demo in general. The Music reminds me of Nier and westworld; both exceptional in their use of music(Nier Automata OST GOAT imo). The art is great and the style is also something I don't ever see in games or other visual novels(though I've only played a few). The story was interesting enough and the writing prose is also imo better than other visual novels I have played.
I'm really looking forward to reading this visual novel.

Bro that's a lot of copies - I know you love the game but save some for ramen or sandwiches (or Tekken 7). You done great giving away 6 copies as it is.

I'm interested! I'd rather not play the demo because when I do play the game, I want to experience it all completely fresh

OOOOO I've been meaning to get this for ages! I'll try the demo tomorrow or Wednesday and will post/edit this post with impressions

Well originally I was hoping for a sale so I could give more copies and here it is lol.

I'm also interested but are the steam keys US only?
You're a good man.
Just tried the demo out to see if I'd be interested, and it's pretty good. Thanks for the generous giveaway OP! I'll leave some scattered impressions below.
- The art is kinda surreal, but it fits the scenarios well.
- The opening track sounds like something straight out of Nier and the music is pretty good overall. I like that the tracks are actually voiced.
- I was playing with headphones and the sound effects are kinda disorienting at times lol, which was obviously the intention, so that was cool.
- The atmosphere is great. It is quite oppressive when you first awaken in the mansion which fits that situation perfectly, and then when you go through door 1 it completely changes with more colourful scenery and cheery music so it does feel as if you're actually there in the moment.
- It's a shame that the lines aren't fully voiced, or voiced at all? (although not sure if that's just a demo thing)
- Can't really comment on the story too much since it was just a demo, but I'm intrigued to know more.

Doing it via steam gifting so will need to add winners as friends and gift them. It might affect those in countries that have large difference in pricing however I'm in Australia and steam makes me pay in USD.

At worst, you can get DRM-free keys from MG's own website.

Thanks OP, I'm interested. Very generous giveaway. Admittedly I've played many VNs of mixed quality in the past so it'd be nice to read a high quality one for once.
Finishing first door is fine

Always was interested in this VN, but never had opportunity to get it.
Good news, I emailed them and they offered to send me Steam keys instead which I now have. Should make things a lot easier now.
Damn. I wish this was possible before.
You're taking quite the initiative as much as you're already responsible for a great giveaway. Props

I don't even have time to load up the demo this week, but have some down time coming up I would love to fill with a VN, and have heard great things about this one so I am definitely interested. Only VNs I have played all the way through before are Phoenix Wright and Song of Saya, think I have a sense of where this falls on that scale...
I just want the giveaway to go as smooth as possible.
Lol I went hard promoting the game by how much I loved it and it kinda sucked it didnt do as much sales as it should so whenever I could I gave a copy or two and talk about it. I will start campaigning again when A Requiem For Innocence is about to drop and after launch so be ready on SteamGAF lol.
