Fantastic presentation and great haunting storyline, its exactly the sort of gothic faerie tale romance I loved as a teen (and still do, honestly). I really do hope you go back to this concept and flesh it out with choices and maybe even different endings because you have created something beautiful and I would love to see more!
Absolutely gorgeous <3 I adore the style and the way everything's put together! The story certainly draws me in and makes me want to know more too.
But yeah, those visuals are a real treat for the eyes. There's so much attention to detail and it all comes together so polished :3
I saw you said on the page that you're planning to add choices at some point, so that makes things even more intriguing!
Super stylish presentation. I love the graphic novel style--the word bubbles and the inset panels were used really effectively, and I also loved how you panned to change scenes. I could have done without the curse cure being true love's kiss, though.
Beautiful artwork and animation, and an intriguing story. Would be cool to buy a full game of it.
The art and visual effects are just beautiful, and I like the music as well.
This game already looked great in the making, and it all came together so well! The story was short but effective, and I appreciated the questions it left Lavinia with.
The star of the show here is, of course, your art! The art direction was very tasteful. The range of sprite poses and usage, along with the interactive comic style and panning background, made for a really immersive setting. I especially enjoy the transition between settings using the background--from the forest to the cave entrance to the cave itself, it worked very smoothly and was a really smart choice!
Amazing work, congratulations on this spooktober success! :)
