It's a good story.

As a game:

There are only a handful of actual choices. I realize that's kind of the "visual novel" style but more agency would be nice (although makes things more complicated)
There are a number of typos in the text. "apartment" is misspelled frequently.

It's unfortunate that the original artist fell ill (the artist's work is outstanding). I don't think explaining the art style change is necessary, however, in the game's flow. Many adult games have several artists and the other artist managed to match the general "look" of the characters, just interpreted differently.

is there news that the original artist was ill?

Yes, in the game right before the art changes there's a wall of text talking about it.

Yes, unfortunately the original artist that did the original style, and worked on about 70% of the art fell ill. There is a small disclaimer in the game about it as well.

I won't want to post too many details on his health, but in short, he became severly ill whenever he had prolonged exposure to screens. Because he's a digital artist, this of course posed a huge problem for him.

Initially we worked through this by slowing the pace of art creation, but in the end he decided that even short bursts were negatively affecting his health, and we agreed on finding a replacement for the last section of the game.

I'm passionate about the games that I produce, but I'll also be honest, I think at the end of the day it's not worth any person harming their own personal health over it, so I'm happy that he is now able to focus on his personal recovery.

Ouch, although on the bright side the artist on the earlier cutscenes is going to recover and though the recent cutscene pictures look nice especially that they are anime like and lipless , people criticize it because he can't handle with the hands thinking they are made by an AI, so I think perhaps just to be safe every cutscenes of first contact ( if the original artist won't recover ) will be redrawn by a different artist probably by the survival of sarah rose artist perhaps anime like .
