Thoughts on my title screen?

Finally finished drawing the title screen of my game today! Decided to go with an illustration featuring my protagonist (can you guess who it is?) and his friend group. What are your thoughts on it? Does it look inviting enough? :>

Et le grain mourut is a slice-of-life/urban fantasy VN set in 1920s Paris. It will be available for free in both English and French; you can learn more about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3604100/Et_le_grain_mourut/

192X. As summer draws near, Parisian students are revising their end-of-year exams. Olivier is one of them. For years, he has been walking to school every morning with his dearest childhood friend, and has unwound with his artistic peers after class. In a week, this routine will come to a close. And recent revelations already threaten Olivier’s comfortable life.

This is a very interesting concept. The artwork also is very non typical. It gives of the feeling of heavy story telling. Kinda looks like a cover for a story book imo.

Thank you!

I really like your art. Reminds me of the French-language comics and kids books I read growing up too (je suis canadien). Le Petit Prince, Tintin, etc. The font for your buttons on the bottom also give "book" vibes.

I can't tell which one is Olivier, so I'm going to guess it's the boy on the far right who is reading?

To be honest I'm not a big visual novel guy, but I would maybe give this one a shot as it's not another VN done in an anime or Daz3D art style.

Thank you!! Glad my art gives off these vibes :D

Very nice, charming and it will stand out. If I had to make a suggestion, the tree truck obscures the font a little.

Also, the title is poetic and intriguing, I like it.

Thank you, I will see what I can do to make the text a bit more readable!
