play time wise this feels like a teaser/feeler not even a full demo. almost as if the dev wanted to see what kind of excitement he could generate before committing to it.
I believe he has something worthy of support if he can make it the 3-4 updates that most gamers wait for.
the characters are charming. the story looks like it can go into a place where Tom is going to be Sarah's actual legal guardian, due to an unreliable mother. (kinda hope it does not happen, but rather Tom is listed as a contact person for problems with schools and such)
dev seems to use a lot of small animations during most shots of Sarah's face during or just after conversations.
art is above average for the characters bordering on top of scale with Sarah.
so far only 2 characters actually rendered in. personally i think that if the dev is going to focus solely on their relationship, he should never render another non-wallpaper character into the game. Do the opposite of Charlie Brown cartoons, you understand what the mom or a boss or wait staff says but you never see them, instead you see the reactions of your 2 characters to it. focus on the story and the two main characters.
Sandra is a young girl who has not had an easy life. Unloved, neglected and rejected by her own mother
so can't say whether the mother loves her or not, but based on the little gameplay so far, it seems the mother might be just extremely irresponsible.
neglected i agree with 100%.
rejected is a negative, if she was rejected she'd be in an orphanage, living in a cardboard box, or foster care. her mother does let her in the apartment whenever she is home.
