I've just finished the demo and...i'm impressed. I really like the setting and the plot. The fact that you give a gameplay incentive to buy furniture so you won't live in complete squalor is a plus. I also like the fact that it's hard to balance health and being liked by the party. I almost forgot to praise the artstyle, it's very good and immersive.

Now, the things that need improving are:
1) i would love to have more meetings each week, i thought i had too few visitors
2) some non game breaking bug fix would be nice
3) maybe some more haunting tunes that ads some feeling of despair to the player
4) the only plot change i would recomend is changing the name of the party. Dominion of Absolute Control screams "hello i'm the bad guy", it would be more suitable and realistic to politics if you put a more optimistic sounding name like "Party of Progress" or something ironic like that, in fact the dialogue in general would be better if the party members didn't sound so obviously evil, i focus so much on this point because the intresting thing about politics is that they use a lot of manipulation that make the members of a political group do awful things while simultaneously promissing a glorious future, it's been explored by many books and it would be awsome to be explored in your game
5) maybe you have it planned already but the intro would be better with text and drawings instead of plain text
6) not a nitpick, but i would love more ethical dilemmas

In conclusion, i had a lot of fun playing this game and it has potential to become a great game. I wish you good luck and i shall anticipate it's completion with great hype. Have a happy new year.

sincerely enjoying this game, although it is moderately buggy across the board. onscreen prompts never seem to want to leave the screen, and the wrong shop screen will appear when trying to go to work or the post, sometimes when I try to go to work Edmund will disappear onto his home street, invisible, and unable to leave.... lots of little stuff like this happens -- not gamebreaking, and the autosave feature negates any hardstop issues, but it is odd. (Playing on Chrome)

I am really enjoying the game otherwise. I wish there was more to do in Edmund's home. I wish we could write back to Elsie.

Thank you!

great gritty game that's depressing and kinda gives me Papers Please vibes mixed with 1984, juts finished the demo and the story is very captivating, cannot wait for full release!

Very dark and gritty, I like it.

Birmingham is looking lovely as always, This is one pretty-looking game, it reminds me of Papers Please, managing to make it day by day, an oppressive atmosphere, I am looking forward to the full release!
