A quite sweet little story. The monsters are super cute, and the characters had likeable personalities. The way she puts the clues together at the end is clever. I do think the relationship between them builds a little too fast to be totally believable, though.

Developer

Thank you for the nice comment.

And yeah, maybe you're right that the relationship builds too fast, but I think that it can be like that sometimes too. :)

A very well done one! Can't go wrong with corn mazes, and a big fan of your character design!! Congrats!

Thanks!!

Wee corn mazes! I'm not in a place that has them, so I have to live through my stories:)

The character design is all Auth. We collaborated on the general ideas and some basic personalities, but they came up with the designs. I'm a fan as well!

I love the art style the characters are drawn in, particularly their hair is very nicely done. 
I'm not sure if it was just my computer but I did notice a flickering in the first scene when clicking for new dialogue. 
Other than that it was a very well made game with plenty of love put into it.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words:)

I'm not sure why there is flicking, it doesn't happen on my computer. Were you playing on Windows? I will upload new versions for the different platforms now so maybe that will be better.

Yes, it was windows.

This was very cute and I'm in love with the character designs :3 I won't say too much because I don't want to spoil anything, but I wasn't expecting what happened at the end, so that was a really cool surprise! The CG is gorgeous too! I didn't get it on my first go, so I went through again to pick some different choices, and I got it the second time around :D

Thank you for your nice comment:) 

Auth worked hard to get the CG done in time and I agree, it and all the art are really wonderful!
