Ooh--very much enjoyed how atmospheric and uniquely styled this game is! The voice acting is lovely, and the design for the characters is phenomenal; the descriptive wordplay in the writing is especially delicious. Terrific work!
I feel like I don't actually have the right words to properly explain how I feel about this one, so forgive me if my comment is kinda disjointed and clumsy x3
Overall, I really love how unique and so incredibly stylish the whole thing is :3 The art is gorgeous, the story is original and keeps drawing you in more and more as you play, and Ezekiel is a wonderfully intriguing MC to step into!
The atmosphere is almost suffocating but in a really decadent and beautiful way, if that makes any sort of sense, haha. I also really love the way you present choices and print text in different ways! Small details and such always satisfy my silly brain :D
And just the way the narrative is delivered in general is a delight. It's like taking a dive into a deep, dark lake only to be caught by some beast that tries to drip, drip, drip despair into your soul until you drown x3 Very much my cup of tea, haha.
I should say that I haven't exhausted all of the possibilities yet! Initially, I refused to interact with anyone and was amused by the outcome, but then I decided to pick Macy to play with :3 Since I also worked with Meg this Spooktober, it seemed like the most fitting one to start with ^-^ From what I've heard so far though, the entire cast did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life!
All of the character designs are incredible, and I think Salxire's is probably my favourite, so whenever I return to this, I know who I'll be tormenting next :P
This is a great game!
I really like the character designs, the UI, the voice acting, story and music.
The button to show/hide the quick menu is neat and the choice UI is wonderful.
Thank you all for this game and have a good one.
I admire so many aspects of this visual novel: the unconventional style of the sprites; the lovely CGs; the voice acting; the enigmatic story that reveals its secrets in careful increments; the poetic, lyrical writing style that evokes such strong imagery and engages all the senses; the UI, especially for the choices; and the creative ways that persistent data is used across successive playthroughs.
I played the three routes and a bit of the afterword (?), and my favorite romantic interest has to be Salxire. Her more reserved, sometimes distrustful personality makes the most sense to me. The card games in her route stood out and entertained me the most, as somebody who appreciates these sorts of minigames in visual novels.
Sometimes, the red text was barely readable against the backgrounds. I recognize that this may have been the developer's intention, though. And the swift speed of the text at times does suggest to me that portions of the writing may be deliberately inaccessible by design.
Overall, this was a thought-provoking, literary, and ambitious project that I very much enjoyed experiencing. Congrats to the team for a job well done!
If you want Ezekiel to choke you, you should play this game.
I love this comment more than I can say 😭🙏❤️
