I've just finished the demo and...i'm impressed. I really like the setting and the plot. The fact that you give a gameplay incentive to buy furniture so you won't live in complete squalor is a plus. I also like the fact that it's hard to balance health and being liked by the party. I almost forgot to praise the artstyle, it's very good and immersive.
Now, the things that need improving are:
1) i would love to have more meetings each week, i thought i had too few visitors
2) some non game breaking bug fix would be nice
3) maybe some more haunting tunes that ads some feeling of despair to the player
4) the only plot change i would recomend is changing the name of the party. Dominion of Absolute Control screams "hello i'm the bad guy", it would be more suitable and realistic to politics if you put a more optimistic sounding name like "Party of Progress" or something ironic like that, in fact the dialogue in general would be better if the party members didn't sound so obviously evil, i focus so much on this point because the intresting thing about politics is that they use a lot of manipulation that make the members of a political group do awful things while simultaneously promissing a glorious future, it's been explored by many books and it would be awsome to be explored in your game
5) maybe you have it planned already but the intro would be better with text and drawings instead of plain text
6) not a nitpick, but i would love more ethical dilemmas
In conclusion, i had a lot of fun playing this game and it has potential to become a great game. I wish you good luck and i shall anticipate it's completion with great hype. Have a happy new year.
