This sounds like a great custom story. The only thing that I would like to see are screenshots of the game, just to see how the story's going~!
If you look for it, I am also willing to lend a female voice in your story.

Screenshots are on their way! Thanks for suggesting this!

That would help us a ton!

While I find your screenshots to be interesting, you might want to add some that show more of the actual design, to give us the idea of your visual concept for your game. These seem a little plain and vague, albeit a tad generic.

I'll download this and give it run-through, and report back with anything I find.

And as Beartrix has already offered, should you need a voice, we're both on that like crazy. ;D

Well we can use as much help as we can get! Like I said though, it is in a very early stage of development so don't expect to much!

Well, I only have a short list of feedback:

- grammar/spelling nitpicks: In the description for your custom story, change "awaken" to "awoken". This was probably just a typo.
- In the note, use "someone who cares", instead of "that". This is minor, so you can feel free to take it or leave it.
- Don't forget to use your corner welders for those walls; they will get rid of that awkwardness where the two walls meet to form a corner
- Lastly, the lighting seems a bit strange. I can't really tell you how to fix it, hell, I've been working with the editor for a while and still can't get the right lighting! That'll be something you really just need to play around with a lot, or maybe research further into.

I will be working on the lighting, all of the rest is fixed. I will release the new version when I am finished creating the mementos for the first map.
