...Holy shit, that cuts deep.
As metaphors into race relations go, this is really well handled; and the art is super pretty. It seems the code for summoning sprites is broken (Most scenes after the first had no character sprites, and the sizes of characters was a bit inconsistent), but they're easy fixes.
Definitely come back to this and polish things, you have a wonderful game in the works here.
I felt the story wasn't properly introduced at the beginning so it can be difficult to follow the plot from times to times. Other than like, I really liked the music (too bad there's only one track because it contrats with the more dramatic scenes) and the art is cute (again, too bad the sprites are so static, I wish there would be more variations/moves/transitions).
I really enjoyed the story. I sometimes have troubles playing through visual novels due to the amount of reading involved, but I was really engrossed in the story. I think you've done an excellent job with the theme and building a world around that.
