For this prototype, I made a synopsis of the plot for the visual novel as well as brief character bios. What I hoped to learn from this was if the basis for the story made sense as well as if the characters and their motivations made sense as well. Overall, the feedback I received was generally positive with people saying they liked the concept. I got feedback by asking questions mostly about the plot, asking if things made sense and if it was easy to follow.
Most of the constructive criticism I received was about how I should structure the story. A lot of people said that I should try writing it out of order similar to other works like Sixth Sense and Uncharted 2. I really liked this idea as I think it would add some more confusion to the story. I think having it start off normal and gradually turn into something more abstract.
Some other feedback I received regarded the types of choices in the visual novel. One suggestion was to make choices where the main character may choose to remember a previous event happier than it actually was. I think that this would fit with the general theme of the plot and is more than just choosing to accept a dream memory or not.
