This is just the intro portion of the game. It really has nothing to do with the game but no matter. It's short but I'll go for a release anyway

That...made my head hurt. I don't know why, but I am experiencing sharp stabbing sensations in my head. Oh look, its a knife. I'm commiting suicide due to the horror. THE HORROR.
Look, the game has a promising premise but there are some very scary things about it.
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks--those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.

I found the beginning well done. Using that little song (the WAV one, I don't know what it's called, but I've heard it before and I like it) for the intro was a nice touch (lyrics in a Verge game!?! Cool.) The pencil drawings looked a bit odd amidst the other, sharper graphics, however.
Speaking of graphics, the downstairs rooms, rendered in fake 3D (or whatever the hell you did) were kinda messy, and the upstairs area (rendered in Verge tiles) was a jarring transition. Fix that.
The little "dream" plot is kinda weird, but I guess more game would fix that.
The humor is good, but I'm not seeing the beginnings of a dating sim here, but rather, some kind of parody on Verge.
Decent concept with slightly flawed execution, but hey, it's a first and early release. And who am I to talk? My last release was a year or two ago :)

Yeah, the 3d and 2d transition will happen lot's being that 2 different people are doing maps. The pencil drawings at the beggining I'm planning on coloring.
And as for the dream plot. It's basically just to give the player a taste of what to expect to from the game, the crazyness and all which might seem a little messed up because the demo basically ends right after.
Expect more soon.

The crazyness is pretty funny. But... dating sim? Or is the demo just to short to convey that? (Not that I'd have any problem with it being an adventure game, or a parody, or anything like that.)
And about those pencil drawings (again): clean them up and cel-shade them and they'll look positively SEXY. Photoshop will do the trick in a pinch, if you have it. (I know it is a very exclusive privelege to us poor Vergers.)
That is all.

P.S. Nice to see someone being Gung Ho! on their project! It's been a while.

Besides plenty of them being pornos in Japan, dating sims are some of the strangest and most original games ever built. If you haven't tried one already, D/L the Tokimemi Memorial rom for the SNES. That's a great game, except you might have a little trouble understanding what's happening, since it's all in Japanese. I sure did. ^_^

But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains and emperor.

I liked it, I got a good laugh out of it. Thanks :0)
I thought the main chr's chr profile was well done. I also enjoyed the scripting, a nice start to an original game.
suggestions: allow a bit more movement in the very begining, for quite some time ( until I got upstairs ) I thought my down arrow was broken.
keep up the good work.
