I'm down for a good emotional storytelling

I tried out the demo. Interesting theme for a game. Here are some random comments:
*I like the music choices, it creates a nice mood
*The text has some grammatical errors
*Inside maps look nice
*Rectangular light coming from windows looks a bit strange - maybe at least edit it so that it's not more wide than the window.
*In outside map some of the choices to create height differences look a bit strange (like around the stairs outside Elaine's house
*The buildings outside look somehow flat to my eye - like they are very tall and then have little depth
*The Holy Hall has two doors stacked on top of each other - obviously to create an effect of a "grand door", but it has 2 door knobs
*There is a spot near the tavern where you can walk to the top of the "cliff" from the left side
*When using the rat fight skip, you have to enter a building and then exit for the skip to occur
*Inside Elaine's house there is some kind of "glitch" with the toilet - half of it is missing + also there is some white thing coming out of the ground (not sure what that is?)
*There was a couple instances after cutscenes where it transitioned kind of abruptly (like a character you were talking to just vanished and transferred somewhere else)
