Not that it's a bad name, but I do wish you could name your cat for flavor.

Not that it makes any difference to my gameplay (this time around), but why not just fix the gender thing? Most games have them these day, so it can't be that hard.
Or is it intentional for realism?

Damn.
....I keep hoping it's one of the rare few games where you can wiggle away from playing the hero, or maybe end up as a villain, but apparently refusing to help is a choice that isn't a choice. *sigh*
Oh, well... at least there was a false to that let you think you could for two seconds.... I'll count that as a victory.

(I don't have high hopes for superhero games, so it's less annoying when that tiny hope flickers and dies. It IS in the description after all...
And hey! I could choose to save a dog over a human. It's not a cat but still better than a human.)

The mc is also clearly an idiot who opens the door to strangers.
And unlike my refusal to do so, she actually have a good reason. >_>

Granted, she's stuck with a shitty power as well, so maybe it comes with the territory.

Like THE most useless power ever!
....*remembers Moist from Dr. Horrible* Okay.... maybe not THE worst.
But still pretty useless.

....at least in my antisocial opinion.

But kudos for making it realistic why she'd take that shitjob.
-Without- being brute-forced.

I DO like that you have choices tho. 
Like.... words cannot express how much I appreciate that! ❤️

Also... the neutral ending really IS neutral. lol
I mean... not a bad job, I think. If the title of the ending was the job anyho'.
Not quite working for a villain, but better than working for the heroes. ^_^

Ah, well....

Better load my save and see the rest of the game tho. lol
This is actually turning out to be better than I initially thought it would be.

I deeply hate your saving slot system tho.
Every time you save you have to scroll down.
And the more saves, the further down.
And there is not nearly enough saves....
I miss Ren'Py's endless saves. *sigh*
But I do that with every game that doesn't have them...

Pop quiz!
Does the receptionist recognize the disguise you're wearing to the interview, can she see through clothes and fake mustaches, or does the game completely ignore your clothes?

I -really- hope she has the brains to turn down room and board.
It's like walking straight into a potential prison cell. >_>
Your current landlord will be plenty happy as long as you can pay, and a cardboard box on the streets would still be better than anything connected to a superhero agency.

Kinda wish you could say you just want to earn money. lol
But I get it.... it's a job interview.
(Still hope I can end up a villain in the end tho...)

You talk a lot for someone who choose to walk in silence.

....when did the mc decide to register?
After I said no, or when I said no?
(I would have said HELL no! ...but that wasn't an option.)

...I don't understand the question about loneliness... o_O
Can't you just like being alone? -Without- feeling lonely?
Is that an option hidden under one of the answers, and I just can't see it?
Is that what the 'I've never felt that' means?

Huh. Are these really things people look for in a relationship?
I mean, I know the whole wanting someone to take care of you seem to be popular (for some reason), but the others? o_O

....why isn't "Them being an awesome person" (I'd say villain, but again; hero agency, so maybe not smart to say that...) an option?

*stare at the screen*
*keep staring*
....what is the -least- objectionable....?
*stares some more*
/facedesk

Ugh... That's a tough choice.

Is there a reason you can't identify as genderless? 
With the guy in the chair I mean.

FYI: The hints about a certain guy in a helmet is TOO obvious.
A blind child could see the connection.
At some point it stops being funny and starts being...IDK...sad? annoying? make you wanna roll your eyes at it? Something like that.
Either way, it's the first hint of bad writing I've seen in this game thus far.

So unless it's the buildup to a twist, and you manage to pull it off without giving people a reader's whiplash, that's bad writing.

I see there is some rooms that's not finished yet. Cuz of being sketches.
Do you plan to fix those? Or...?

....I hate the mc. *sigh*
I live in the eternal hope she'll become demoralized by the sighs she sees, become bitter and jaded, and realize that people are not worth saving.

Aaaaaand now she'll let just anyone see where she lives, made all the more obvious by the 'flight-y' mode of transportation. /facepalm

Yep, this mc has all the qualities of a hero: Idiocy, nativity, and a idiotic savior complex on top of more stupidity. >_>

If the game wasn't so well-written, I'd given up in frustration a long time ago.

Alas the storytelling is extremely compelling, and a certain chair-bound person is kinda cute. Thus I must go on. *sighs dramatically for effect*

Yes... let's take phones from people who probably bug and trace it... THAT'll work out well.... >_> 
*wacks the mc over the head*

I'm a bit sad you couldn't choose to have lunch with just Giffin tho.
But I see why, considering the setting and all.
Still would prefer it.

-

And regardless of me bitching about the game, I just have to say it IS a really good game.

The graphics is good. The writing is compelling and draws you in to the story.
While I prefer villains to heroes, Griffin has a mischivious streak I like, if nothing else (even if he refused to burn the fanmail) and he's sorta cute.

And I LOVE how many choices you have!
Especially the ones that are real choices. (Like quitting early.)

I actually would be tempted to buy the full game (if it was on Steam), but I'm still hesitant, considering the odds of the ending sucking as bad as a superman movie, soooooo....

Is there ANY chance that you can turn to the dark side at the end?
Or at the very least romance a villain in a nemesis-love kinda thing?
(Or both. Both is even better! ^_^ )

And also.... Is the game on Steam? Or will it be? ^_^

I'm so glad I found this game, I love it so much!! </33

I am DESPERATE to know if you guys would consider an additional member for the team!! I love this demo so much and I'd love to contribute

I can't wait for this :3

This is sooooo good , literally  as a cis demisexual, i love love love diversity. after reading the author notes ... i just had to drop a comment and rating guh this is literally on my leader board.

I love every single character. Hand in marriage right now. Hand them over

Really though, I love the premise and the writing. I adore Katieeee my beloved, and the characters are all so engaging!!! Especially Griffin! Gonna smooch 'em.

<3

I'm very impressed by the quality of this game! The dialogue flows so naturally and I love the concepts the story's playing with. Looking forward to it's eventual completion!

It's absolutely amazing in every sense!!At first I thought I liked Wardon, but in the end, I realized that Griffin is my favorite (actually i like everyone haha). I completely agree with what u mentioned, 'get to know him until he wants to kiss you.' When I first tried to flirt with Wardon, he told me, ' U don't know me' which really surprised me, because in the games I've played before, flirting with the male lead usually didn't result in rejection. Now, I have a deeper understanding of this sentense... Each character is so well-rounded and vividly alive, and the expressions are drawn so well that everything feels real to me... (It's truly done so well; during the scene where Jade takes me flying, it suddenly felt like I was watching a Hollywood movie, haha). Griffin is just too adorable; when he banters with Jade, it's just like the teasing between me and my friends—so relatable and so much fun! I can't wait for the full version of the game (really, I beg you to complete it if your energy and time allow). The demo content is already quite rich, and I feel like I could play it a hundred more times! (But I still hope to see the full version as soon as possiblee  plzzzz)."Anyway,love ya and waiting for u>>3 (ps. I can call Katie on my home page is also a cute detail hehe)And i already suscribed u , u can lemme know even u have a little progress TvT (I don't speak English,if make any mistakes i sorryyy)

really beautiful art + fab writing, the characters are all rlly charming, and i loved whats out in the demo so far!! excited to see where this goes<3

Boo, a comment. 

This is genuinely such a charming game, there is just enough customization with the MC that it still feels like your own character without having the character be a blank slate. The characters are amazing and all have such unique personalities, and I will love to see where each of their stories go and how each of their endings will be (Maybe even see if they have their own bad/good ending 👀).

As to not make my rambling too long, as I can totally 100% can do, I'll just say my final thoughts. I'm totally going to see where this story goes, and follow development. Plus, Katie, she's adorable, I love her and I'll never be able to leave her. 

I just finished the demo (gotta redo it with the brave options) and I adore it. Mia, Warren and Jade are so precious <3 I love the little unlockeable scenes, I'm very much looking foward for this


(sorry if i misspelled something, English is not my first language jsjs)

Enjoyed the demo a lot! I just wish the scores at the end showed the highest and lowest possible percentage. The only problem I see is if you change our pronouns later and mention it to Griffin, he says he knows because Warden saw your sticker, but I never chose the sticker.

Just played the demo and I'm looking forward to the full release!!

dear god, where to start!! this demo was absolutely AMAZING and i cannot wait to play the full game (❁´◡`❁) i love all the characters but my love for griffin will be unmatched (fellow diabetes buddy lol) 

all in all, amazing demo and i cant wait to play the full game!! keep up the good work!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Plz mobile version, I'm willing to pay ❤️. This seems like a nice game and I'm very curious on trying it.

alguém sabe se esse jogo ainda vai ter continuação???( •̯́ ^ •̯̀)

I NEED MORE

Just finished the demo and can I say WOW! It was sooo good! I love all the characters and you can tell you put so much effort into it! You inspired me to actually work on my own game I'm planning lol

Loved the characters, loved the art, loved the dialogue.

 Wonderful demo❤️

Herotome is an absolute masterpiece in the realm of visual novels! From the stunning art to the mesmerizing music, every aspect of this game is crafted with immense love and attention to detail. I am in awe of the creativity and talent that went into this game. The characters in here are truly amazing and captivating. Each one has a unique charm that keeps me wanting to learn more about them. Warden, in particular, has a certain charisma that is hard to resist. I need more of him!! I'm eagerly looking forward to future updates and am thankful for this incredible masterpiece. It deserves all the recognition it can get!

I really liked it, it's fun.

I absolutely adored this demo, so far Griffin really has my heart. I hope for nothing more than to see more of him (Or her if it's a she day) And the story is honestly super fun to get into. Imagining my own version of MC is a good time too.

i LOVE mia she's so CUTE, crying rn

I love this demo - I can't wair for more/the eventual full version, I'm excited for every route (and that definitely isn't always the case!) x

Jade is so godamn cute, i'm smitten oml 😳

such a wonderful, sweet and funny demo :'D I love it, the characters are wholesome, cute and adorable and KATIE, I love love love my kitty :3

Sweet, I love the premise that isn't touched on often in visual novels. I look forward to seeing more and getting to flirt more with Warden lol

Stellar presentation, great looking characters with dynamic personalities, and a story full of intrigue built on top of a very cool urban fantasy world.  There is incredible value here.  Over 4 hours for a single playthrough, after which several choices were unlocked for me to go back and try.  Herotome is brimming with choices, and half the fun is selecting a choice that might seem off-the-wall to see what will happen next.

I found myself quickly invested in the plight of the MC and her beloved cat.  And I was impressed by the number of sensitive and culturally relevant topics the narrative tackles with a deft hand.

There is so much to explore here! Download this demo!

 Incredible. Both the art and characters are stunningly beautiful and sooo loveable! Looking forward to the finished product.
