Time to work on pets!

For today, we have Rei's cat, Kii. She's a black cat of approximately 3 years old and she was given to Rei by Jun as an attempted bribe to rekindle their old relationship.
(Though...it didn't really seem to work.)

UPDATE: All expressions that will be featured in the demo have been FINISHED! Currently we just need our GUI to be finished, a few CGs, and two more backgrounds in order to release the demo. We hope you'll all look forward to it!

Hah, you just posted the expressions of the character I wanted to see the most! =)

I really like the art style that you guys use for your game. I'm really looking forward to it because I love mystery games, especially ones with good twists which this one surely will have.

Can't wait for the demo! ^-^
