“It's a demo, and from what I saw it has an interesting plot for an indie game.”
“The story is unique and intriguing.”
“There is a great deal of potential here, not only in terms of gameplay but also regarding the story of the mother and child.”
“In fact, the concept is merely a copy of another well-known story available for free elsewhere.”

“I'm not sure what direction you intend to take this game, but I do hope to see both a lengthier game and a more detailed story as changes and/or additions are made.”
