What to do with the seventh ending ，ah, very good game!

A compelling and well-told story. The mechanic of deciding who gets which scroll is clever and really incentivized me to replay to find out the different ways the story could turn out. The art is great; love the halftone screen and the high-contrast use of black and white art on the color gradient background. The animation and effects are also used very effectively. And the world-building is so well done; I was really invested in the flock and their situation.

Two notes: One, the relative volumes of voice and music--voice was too quiet, music was too loud--and two, I got an error when I tried to skip the three card monty minigame while replaying.

Loved the art style and animations! There were a bunch of missing images though, and at Orso's place Pietro would end up standing behind Orso. Sometimes the environment didn't change even though dialogue implied so, at least in Vinca's and Cyril's place. I also got an error when visiting Orso, but I could ignore it to continue playing:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Best game I've played all month.  That's not just for Spooktober jam, that's including ALL THE GAMES.  The visuals and story and voice acting and themes all combined to make something special.

The only gripes I have is that I got an error that the background was missing, there was a bit of lag when picking the leaders to visit, and that I was going to skip the flying minigame but died pretty much immediately after the game started and had no time to press the button.

But even with those gripes, I still stand that this is a fantastic VN and you all did amazingly on it.

Loved this game, one of the best I've seen from Spooktober for sure. The art style is stellar and very distinctive, the voice acting is great, the leaders were all engaging characters.

One thing though, I played through the story a few times and always got the same ending (magpies and rats attack, Cyril disappears) no matter who I gave the letters to, even if I get one of the leaders to agree to help the crows. I'm on a Mac if that helps.

Definitely one of the top tiers in the jam. I love the animation of this game! The monochrome aesthetics is also a good touch. Voice overs are also great. I just hope that that the mini game is more forgiving since I still want to beat those cats.  :D

This is really great and well-made, ngl.
