This was so well done! I really loved the story, and the characters were great. It really felt like the first episode of an anime, and the music really fit well with all of the scenes. It was fun to play it both ways to see both endings. Great job!!
This was really cool. I would love to see this game get expanded upon as the lore behind the exorcists, their ranks and organisation is really interesting. The art was wonderful and the final choice was really difficult to make lol Great Job!
This is a nice story, actually a bit heavier than I expect. I totally purposelly chose the "wrong" answer my first playthrough lol, totally difficult choices for a kid on his first mission. The characters looks really cute and I liked it!
Thanks for playing! Glad you like it!
... right? That poor kid.
Very fun and engaging story! Mr. Anthony's antics are also so familiar, so that's double the fun lol. The art style is simple but very cute! I also really like Ivan (yes, he is very charismatic... you win Ivan) and feel bad for him having this as his first job.I'm definitely looking forward to see more if you plan on expanding this world!
Thanks for playing!
It's a bit surprising to see many people like Ivan but I'm glad! Unfortunately, there will be no expansion :(
Whaat, I don't know what to tell you, Ivan is very charming, his confidence is doing a lot LOL
And aww, kinda sad to hear that, but I also understand! Best of luck in your next endeavors!!
There’s something, and I still haven’t been able to figure out what the right term for it is, but it’s kind of a design language that can be found in the pacing of transitions, and knowing when to use a CG, or vary up the visual composition. You’re quite good at that, and I think it speaks to a particular insight into VNs as a medium!
Thank you for playing!
It's my first time hearing that. Thanks!!
Really fun story! All characters were really nice to look at, and they all had identity. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you for playing! Glad you like it!
Fun story and I like all the tree main characters! I will looking forward to it if you decided to expand the game! Maybe some sort of episodic dlc.
Thank you for playing!
Unfortunately, I don't think there will be expansion of this game
A neat concept, with fun worldbuilding! The pacing and exposition really make the whole thing feel like the pilot to an anime, and one that I'd definitely see more of! Artemis is a very fun character, and leave the reader with some really interesting choices. Great job!
Thank you for playing! Glad you find it enjoyable!
That was quite a nice story! I like the artstyle as well and works well with everything else! Great worldbuilding i must say. I would recommend though setting the default text speed to not be instant, it sorta makes it feel less nice
Thank you for playing and giving suggestion!
I didn't even think about changing the setting... I tried as you suggested and it actually feels better.
I'm like 90% sure that you should've used 'Teacher' instead of 'Master' because of english connotations with the word, because some people might read it as 'person who owns you' instead of 'master of their craft'. unless i'm missing something and it's intentional, in which case good foreshadowing carry on
great work on the visuals!
Thanks for the input.
But it's 100% intentional maybe because I read too many martial arts stories. Didn't even think about the other meaning XD
This was a fun read! I feel so so sorry for Ivan... He deserves all the best! Lovely art and writing!
Thank you Konaaaa
Love the humor and writing in this game! This is an universe that should be expanded upon!
Thank you Azureee!
Maybe one day if Artemis' business is more successful
