Local Winter Fairy Gets Crush on Maid; Murders Entire Gensokyo Population
Although the reasoning for the romance felt a little undeveloped, I liked the dialogue's general attention to the original game, as if Letty really was a playable character. Similarly, It's a nice surprise to see multiple entries include ZUN-style music rooms!
As an aside, I would suggest adding a bit of blur to the photo backgrounds to make them more consistent with the style of the portraits (which I really liked, by the way).
Thank you!
I spent hours on the music room lolI definitely want to pay more attention to the backgrounds next time, even if just to edit a photo. I'm glad you enjoyed it!It's a bit odd to see a touhou visual novel mimic the writing style of the main line games. For mainline touhou, a lot of the writing ends up being an excuse to string combat encounters back to back with eachother and allows a lot of conflicts to occur for the sake of gameplay. It was both novel and weird to see a writing format designed specifically to string combat encounters together be used in the absence of those very encounters. An odd and novel experience to say the least.
Thank you!
So this is a timeline where Letty solved the Unending Winter incident? That's pretty neat.
It's a VN so here's what I thought of the writing: putting it bluntly, I didn't feel convinced by what I think is supposed to be a Letty-Sakuya ship. The game clearly shows they just haven't met before and Sakuya gets on the way back defeated too
(one playthrough of PCB from stage 1 to meeting Yuyuko lasts a little less than 30 minutes, the more you know), and now Letty's kinda warmed up to Sakuya?So Letty becomes a PCB protag and shoots down the bosses (as I said, I think it's a pretty neat idea!), but what's up with her blushing red every five minutes (even in front of characters not named Sakuya)? Is she OK?
And then Letty claims spring back and returns, and meets Sakuya again. And I was like "Why is Sakuya freaking melting in front of Letty too?", they haven't even spent more than 5 minutes together, and now Letty has to go and returns next year - is this really happening?
tldr: not convinced by the ship because Letty and Sakuya didn't even start building a relationship.
The other aspects of VN, well, the character portraits are decent (also Lily just has something more akin to a sprite - she never had an official portrait after all. Nice touch, made me smile!), but the highlight surely are the arranges. There's an impressive amount of them for one person to make in a month, that's highly commendable.
Thank you for the feedback! If I did this again I'd definitely want to invest more time into the writing. I definitely wrote a script and ran with it, even when I ran into a wall a few times. I'm glad you liked the arranges, I enjoyed making them a lot ^^
An interesting take on a touhou dialogue routes.
I honestly felt like playing the game with a Letty mod, its very interesting to see this kind of art style, the only thing that I found weird were that some characters had larger necks xD. even so, I loved all of them even if for some reason, yuyu has a darker shadow on her face that doesn't fit with the rest.
Also, weren't most of the backgrounds supposed to be set on winter?
Still, great story, I think the ship is kinda hard to achieve, since sakuya did all this for her mistress and as the bad endind implied, she immediately returned to remi's mansion, but hey, this was just a theory, a fanfic theory, thanks for writing.
Thank you! I definitely rushed the art so it's not the most consistent ^^;
Letty Whiterock's unstoppable gay violence spree
So true, she'll stop at nothing
well. this isn't a ship i expected to get this invested in. this was EXTREMELY cute. i really appreciate that letty found a very letty-related alternate win condition vs yuyuko, since in this canon the playable trio couldn't do it either, But no, all the art was so soft and charming, and letty's motivation was so nice, i really liked this c:
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it ^_^
Letty is one of my favorite Touhou characters in general, so seeing her get her time to shine is great, personally. I've always been intrigued by her possibilities, and the fact you explore some of that in this work, while maintaining the snarkiness of Perfect Cherry Blossom's dialogue is a concept I could get behind. As a visual novel, it lacks some needed polish, but like Megapig said, if this were dialogue for a 7 mod, it would absolutely rip. The soundtrack is also absolutely sick, it fit the characters and the mood appropriately. Your ideas here are great; I gave the concept a 5 based on it, but I did find myself wanting more. As you're a one-person crew and did this on your own, I won't judge the length of the work or the art that harshly. Please keep up the grand ideas for future works!
Thank you! Letty is great :) I learned a lot making it so I'm looking forward to making more visual novels in the future and customizing things more (particularly GUI/UI). I'm really glad you liked the soundtrack, I tried to make the songs interesting without spending a ton of time on complex/longer pieces (especially given the length of the game lol). Thank you for playing!
letty says my game now fuckos after the human incident resolvers run out of continues and proceeds to do a pacifist lnnn run
its comical how letty it is
Letty finishes the game for me when I run out of continues 😔
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This did a nice job capturing the weird snarky vibe of Touhou 7's writing, and also puts into perspective Letty's canon power. Honestly, I'd like to see how this script would pair with a Touhou 7 mod.
Thank you! I'll have to try that if I have the time...
Short little VN here. I think the concept is neat and it's written well enough, but a little more could've been done with it. Letty kinda just does the same things that Reimu and Marisa and Sakuya did. Might've been more fun if she encountered other characters instead of Chen and Alice, or if she did something special with the spring instead of just returning it like normal.
I like the art and music quite a bit, and the characters' faces were charming to me (like this one)
In short, 'twas cool.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! There wasn't much time to revise the story once I got going, but I definitely wanna try something more unique next time ^^ Drawing the different faces was fun XD
