DRAGNFLY'S PROFILE

I love how that last memo is a general concise warning and then suddenly goes off about the missing friend. I get that it's likely a clue but it feels really forced and thus, funny.

Compare Berserk with, say, Fist of the North Star as far as violence detail goes. I love both of them but for totally different reasons. In Fist, people explode all the time. Limbs get severed all the time. But it's so crazy it can't possibly be seen as serious. In Berserk we see people crushed, eaten, slashed up... all in the name of war, chaos and darkness. Even when it's over the top it's never overdone and it's never to be laughed at. Also, Fist doesn't need to be as violent as it is to tell the story, but Berserk certainly does.

I always ask myself the question "what purpose does this scene/image/story point serve?"

For your mature topic warning, if any of the content relates to the story directly I recommend making your warning with conditional branches. I got the idea from TearsOfNightfall's game and that's how I'm doing it too since my project also explores a lot of dark directions.

The idea is that if the player has any deductive skills at all, they will draw conclusions about the story from the content warning alone, ruining the timing and impact of your scenes and plot twists. Of course, that depends on the story.

I took Silas as a mid teen before. If he's supposed to look older now, congrats, he looks older:) I'd clock him at early 20's.

With the exception of wrinkles and such, the only real way to tell an age or age range of an anime-styled character is to hear it from the artist since their own style accounts for so much.

Is the vibrating in the top left a fault of the video or does it do that in-game too?

Wow, really!? Awesome! And huge congrats to all the other winners!
