It's been over three months since Spooktober, so, pardon the wait, I just got to your entry - there were over 150 so... *dies* I just wanted to come by and congratulate you on the finished game, it has a lot of things worth mentioning. Many people already praised the art extensively but I'll still comment on the three (four?) students' designs as well, because I loved them. The detective too, his eyes are very expressive even in his stoicism. This is the kind of drawing style I really enjoy, the general facial details work for me a lot.
There's quite the flourish in the writing that some times caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but notice that, for as many options as there are, only the last few seem to matter... but, no matter, because I really liked the narration. I especially loved the characterization of every character, their way of speaking telling a lot about who they are. And also, I really liked how our actions, both as the professor as well as the detective, frame the way the story advances. However, and btw I got all four endings but, I gotta say, I'm a bit confused by how much the end result sways from ending to ending. Is the Evil End supposed to work in a different universe than the Good End? They don't seem to work together, that's my only qualm. Well, that and I'd love to have seen more about the side characters and how their stories ended...
Sound-wise, I'd have liked to have partial voice acting here. And at least one variation in the gameplay music, especially in the climax. The ambience music is quite good though, considering it's playing throughout all of the playthrough, it doesn't grow old fast, and that's a lot.
And I think that's all I wanted to say. Congratulations on finishing the game again. I feel this could easily be expanded into a bigger game with more content. But even as is, it's quite the quaint pleasant experience. Thank you for giving us that, and good luck on future endeavours!
This was a really cool little game! The prose was sharp, the artwork was stellar, the world-building was engaging, and I had a lot of fun interacting with the students and unravelling what happened. The transformed students in particular was a cool way to weave horror into a classic magic school premise. Awesome job!
One question, are there more endings besides Bad and Martyr? Those seem to be the only ones I can get.

This is a really cool visual novel so far. I like the art style, the character designs and the plot development so far. 10/10
