I'm a fan of the Hayven Celestia books and arts by Rick Griffin and I really enjoyed the game! Gonna recommend to my gamer friends so maybe they'll be interested in the books as well!
That opening song is EPIC. The polish and visual/audio design of this was top notch! I lived streamed the game if you want to see my reaction. I was on a time crunch trying to get around to every submission, but I liked what I saw. Good job!
Thanks for checking out our game! I implore you to go back and play through the whole game. If you're reading out all the lines, it'll be about an hour or so. With how much you liked that opening theme, you'll LOVE the full version that plays during the ending.
I really enjoyed playing this! Great writing and art. Hayven Celestia is a fantastic universe.
Very enjoyable, a fantastic look at the Hayven Celetsia universe
Beautifully made, I really enjoyed playing this!
This is absolutely fantastic!
I think the art is absolutely the showrunner, but the game wouldn’t have been nearly as entertaining if the game didn’t incentivise so well paying attention to the worldbuilding by integrating it into the gameplay and instead lectured you with exposition. The game made me actually want to learn more and pay attention to the setting, the characters and how they interacted, so it was a very enjoyable read.
Hovering over specific words to see its meaning is such a useful and unobtrusive little touch that I’m surprised more lore-heavy visual novels don’t make use of it.
Really spectacular! Great art, interesting story, fantastic presentation even down to the animation on the UI. I especially appreciated getting to try again with the species I failed to convince the first time around lol
This was absolutely stunning. The art, the writing, and the overall aesthetic blew me away; but the art especially so. Also a super cool take on the theme - this is the first I've seen "strength in numbers" represented through solidarity and diplomacy.
Fantastic entry!
Congrats on the art and the conversations, they're super polished. I loved the detail that let you know the meaning of a word when you hover the mouse over it.
Fantastic game! Gorgeous art and characterization, what a fun universe full of life!!
