A mesmerizing game.
The plot keeps you in a strange suspense until the very end. What the antagonist says is true and what is false? And which is a metaphor?
The visuals are over the top. Especially the character animations and camera work.
An engaging narrative filled with mystery and tension that branches in many different directions. Distinct and memorable characters written with depth and nuance--especially the Empress. Breathtaking art and character design. The characters appear to be painted, but there is a very arresting 3D motion effect that brings them to life. Choices matter. Music captures the mood of each scene and enhances the resonance of the story. I wanted the game to last longer.
I really liked this game.
It's creepy and I liked it.
The UI is amazing and so are the character designs.
I just didn't like the quick menu sound effect.
Overall, great game.
Congrats and hope you the best.
thank you for the nice comment and the feedback! :)
Spectacular work, as always! :)
Holy cats, this game is gorgeous in every regard--the character designs and backgrounds are stunning, the writing is absolutely top-notch, the music and the sound design atmospheric and well thought-out (I particularly like the chain-like clinking effect used in the UI!). Everything is so well knit-together in one wonderfully spooky package. Beautiful, beautiful work!
wow, thank you so much!!
I've long been a fan of this visual novel developer's works, and this one definitely didn't disappoint in the slightest! The art style is painterly and exquisite, the character designs are gorgeous, the animation of the sprites is visually interesting, the musical score is suitable for each scene, and the slight variations in the narrator's personality across playthroughs are intriguing.
It was fun trying to get the different endings through trial-and-error though I suspect that there are still secrets I have yet to uncover. The completionist in me wishes I could access a walkthrough or hints. I may take another crack at this VN at a later date to see what else I might have missed!
Overall, this was another excellent addition to the developer's roster of interactive masterpieces. Can't wait to see what the developer puts out next. <3
