I couldn't find an option to switch from Russian to English, but there are some interesting pictures and anime-style characters. The right door seemed to lead further into the story for me.

The visuals are amazing, but the game is very short. In some cases it's good, but not for a visual novel. Could've done better. Keep working!

Отличная и интересная работа в графическом плане. Приятно порадовали элементы выбора, что добавили игровой нотки в повествование.
Художественную составляющую текстов нужно полишить, но в условиях сжатых сроков людума вполне приемлемо.

В целом хорошая работа! Вы - МОЛОДЦЫ. Спасибо за игровой опыт.

Great visuals and great style, but a tad too short :( Also either I encountered bug, or VN part lacks sounds in VN (but not in menu). In firefox, if that matters.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
