The visuals for this game are amazing, as is the music. However, I couldn't play very far into the game before giving up because the writing often makes no sense. I think getting a proofreader who is fluent in English would help a lot. Also, the History feature is unusable because the text is rendered without any punctuation or sentence breaks. The font choice for History is VERY hard to read.
Examples of lines in the first 5 minutes that are really hard to understand due to the grammar issues:
"People believe he can be a myth or something like that."
"I'm not going to give up on catching him and handing him over to the police and show them that my dismissal was in vain."
"Sometimes I regret thinking how much this obsession with this killer consumed me."
"If you don't mind being even more outlaw..."
"It looks like his bones are made of foam, because he moves like a ragdoll."
Yay! I'm now part of Palest Smile, haha! I really liked the overall story, the characters, and the OSTs. I hope you'll keep improving even after the jam. GG! ❤
Thank you!! We are really happy you liked it 🖤🖤
I like the visuals, the music is good and it has the making of a great game.
However, the writing is pretty confusing and there seems to be many typos that make it hard to follow so...
Don't know if you know any proof readers that can help fix it?
Thank you so much for the feedback! We will correct those on our next update!
The visuals are stunning. I love the box art and game menu. And that menu song...*chef's kiss* I really liked the story. It felt unique and the art complimented the vibes. Consider starting the story with a recap of a past murder on a different holiday. You also had a few typos like "Knowing that the major said we must..." - sounds like it should be mayor. Overall, GOOD JOB. This was a jam game so typos are to be expected, especially since you had such a branching story and your code editors don't spell check.
Ahh thank you sm for playing our game!! 🖤 And yes we will definitely take note of this because this game will have an update where things will be fixed/added carefully. We are also not native English speakers so grammatical errors are really expected. Thank you for the feedback!!
As non-Native speakers, you did phenomenal! I couldn't tell from the writing. <3
This game was definitely a memorable experience.
Pros: Fantastic artwork across characters, backgrounds and the game UI, and a very intriguing story which really delivered on the horror aspect. I also love that there were some point and click moments in addition to your typical VN choices.
Cons: There were a LOT of grammatical errors, to the point where it was almost every sentence at times. I got the impression that this was down to the fact that the writers were not native English speakers. This did dampen the experience for me a little, but an issue like this is easily solved with some translation/spelling and grammar help.
The cons definitely don't put me off seeing what else these developers can create if they address the language issue, as the visuals, story and overall vibe of this game were brilliant. Especially positive considering that (I believe) this is their first game!
Thank you so much for playing our game!! And thank you for giving a feedback, It means a lot :)🖤 And yeah we are only 3 people and none of us is a native English speaker. This game will have an update soon, so we will definitely try to solve this issue of grammatical errors
That's completely understandable! I'm looking forward to seeing the game update, and if you need any help with the grammatical changes, I'd be happy to help!
THIS IS DEFINITELY A WORK OF ART. I just did one route for now (Goethe's one) and I already can guarantee that this game is amazing. I can't wait to do more routes. I think what I liked the most was the art and lore of the characters, including the scenario. The atmospheric matching the musics was so impressive !!!!!!!! I even can't type more words to describe this. You guys need to play this so you can see what is this amazing thing I'm talking about. Just one thing: I love Goethe I dont care what she did #justiceforgirls #girlspower #goethemarryme
Thank you so so much! We’re really happy you liked it 🥹🖤 (Goethe dona da nossa alma e corpo vey tudo de bom…. #marisa #deMulherpraMulher)
