This was a lot of fun! The story was fast and entertaining, and it was quick and easy to try different options to see all the outcomes. The art style is simple, but expressive, and works well with the somewhat goofy tone that's carried throughout.
Great work!
"That wasn't very Mahou Shoujo of you!" -That made me laugh!
This was a really cute game. I liked the style and the quick play visual novel aspects.
This game was very fun, the story was silly at first but it got more serious later in a way that didn't feel too drastic.
I was worried about not saving before every choice when I noticed I should probably do it but the game allows you to go back to older dialogues, which made getting all the endings easier.
I really enjoyed it.
Good little story. I agree with what the others have said.
I was expecting something along the lines of Amai Mahou Shoujo, and I wasn't disappointed. It definitely has the same style and feel despite being a different story in a different setting.
The art is a mixed bag. I don't mind the style, but some of the character graphics are just plain ugly. Hime and the ghost look good, Cathy in human form looks bad, and the other characters are in between.
The story grew on me as it unfolded. I wasn't a fan of the memes or some of the dialogue early in the game, but towards the end it got (paradoxically) more serious and much wittier. I still don't think it's going to win any awards, to be honest, but it was engaging enough and does a good job of incorporating the themes.
It was well paced, though, managing to be a decent length without getting dragged out and bogged down. In the end it was a fun little game.
yes, i can see the themes here and there.
also, jelly donut, lol.
A small fun VN
"I got pushed off a cliff" ... hehe no worries .
Em that was pretty funny, good times. = ]
The memes, jack.
Also, I laughed every time I heard the "bonk" sound effect lol. It was really refreshing.
