This game is gorgeous. I was instantly delighted by the character designs. The costumes and hair design fit the characters beautifully.
This is a fantastic way to start the story! I loved the writing and dynamics in the dialogue. I'm rooting for Luna with her new shop and I'm rooting for all of the talented creators in this project! Well done and I'm looking forward to the next part :)
Thank you so much, this comment is so sweet!! We're so glad you like the game and the characters, we're rooting for them too, hehehe <3
A super cute demo - excited to see the full release down the line! The character art looks cute and the colors are stunning (and I love everybody's eyes' designs), and the CGs are super pretty! The backgrounds that are in place also feel lovely, with that wonderful grain effect that, combined with the music & chara design, really evokes early 90s anime in lovely way! The world is intriguing & witchy, and the budding relationship dynamics are interesting to explore. I hope Luna gets a familiar somewhere down the line, I almost expected Altair to do so in addition to the deck. Congrats, and looking forward to seeing what comes next!!
Oooooo, that is the biggest compliment ever to have our game remind you of 90s anime (as I'm a 90s anime fan myself!!!) I'm so glad you enjoyed the demo, be on the lookout for more familiars in the game as we release more, hehe!
Oh this was such a fun demo! I loved Luna as a protagonist - she felt like a breath of fresh air because she tries to make the right choices (she studied business! she graduated college!) and yet somehow fell into this world of magic anyways. I also loved the love interests we got to meet (I already have a soft spot for them all but was SUPER intrigued by Nova; it's so, so rare in my experience to find a sapphic couple where both are WOC! especially in indie otome no less!!) and am definitely looking forward to the full release whenever it comes out.
Thanks for sharing this gem of a game with us! I'm so excited to follow y'all and see what's next ♥
Thank you so much for playing our game and for all the love!! One of our goals was to have a diverse, interesting cast of characters (and Nova is a personal favorite of a lot of the team!) so I’m glad that it’s appreciated! We’re still working on the full release and can’t wait to share it!
