I enjoyed the original game, and I'm looking forward to the version with the digital paintings. I liked the character of Liu, and the choices were impactful and interesting. The game also did a really good job of teaching the history to someone who didn't know about Falun Gong or the human rights violations of its followers (me). I'm pretty outraged about what happened, and since I'm sure that's the effect you were going for, you did a good job with it. I'm a lot more affected by this than by most visual novels I've read-- cute anime girls this is not.
However, when I was playing it I noticed something that might have been a bug. I got a bad ending and was playing through again (spoilers just to be safe)
trying to save Liu, and once I got to the stadium, I chose to refuse to sign the confession. Originally, you could choose to either sign it, refuse to sign it, or firmly refuse to sign it, but after I refused to sign it, it only let me sign or refuse-- the "firmly refuse" option was gone. I didn't want to sign it, but if I kept clicking "refuse", it just kept taking me back to the same menu, so I ended up signing it after all.
I don't know if this was intentional or not, but if the game is themed around choices, then taking away the choice to
not sign the confession
doesn't work very well for that-- I can sort of understand why it might be gone, but the game didn't show me a reason it would be. I also felt some of the choices when you were looking for Liu weren't very clear, and whether or not you found her depended on luck (in that even when I was trying to find her, it took me several tries)-- but that's the case in real life a lot of the time, too, so I don't have a problem with that.
Lastly, if you're still looking to polish this, would you like someone to help you edit the text? I noticed quite a few spelling and grammar mistakes. It's totally understandable because you said yourself that you're not a native English speaker, but the fact is that if the spelling and grammar is off, some people can get distracted from the message of the thing. This is powerful stuff, and I want people to be able to pay full attention to the content! I would love to take a look over this and help edit it, if you would let me.
I hope I'm not sounding like an ass, or like I'm overly critical. This is a really, really good VN-- but it has the potential to be an
excellent VN, and I really want it to get there. :3
) that involves things like human rights and crimes against humanity... so don't expect any cute anime girls or anything like that... 
Man, that's pretty serious stuff in here indeed... I was grasped from the start. Those choices of yours mean a lot to me ! Thank you for this.
