So, I'm going to preface this review by saying that *this game's aesthetic just isn't for me* - I normally wouldn't have played it, not because I would've thought it's bad, but simply for personal tastes reasons, the same way some people will not play FPS or Mobile games.
I took the plunge here for two reasons : one, jams are for trying out new things and I figured I would give a shot to something I wouldn't normally have played, and two
...the devs were so nice to me on my own entry's comments that I wanted to play their game too...
And I have to say, I had a very good time! This game is excellent on every aspect : the art, regardless of it being "my thing" or not, is superbly well-executed, with a great sense of cinematography and scenery, the writing is consistently good and keeps the game interesting even when there's a lot of internal monologue, and the music choices were brilliant (especially the one that plays when the Manor lights up, that one had me chortling)
I don't think I'll play a game with a similar aesthetic again in a long time, but I'm very glad I made an exception for Colorful Mirai - Spooky Edition!

We totally understand you in there. It's the same for us in other sectors and sometimes it's hard to step in and give it a try. That's why knowing this makes us even happier because you gave it a try and you enjoyed it! It means a lot!😭❤️🙏
All the things you pointed here were the subject of worry for us so many times during the development. So, receiving such positive feedback is really sending us to the moon right now. Seriously, you have no idea how happy you made us feel! and omg I'm glad you enjoyed the music. It was so hard to decide what to do and how to set the right timing. I'm so relieved!😊🙏🙏
Our main goal, since the begging, was to bring a joyful moment for the player. And with your review, I think we can say we have hit it right 😁🥰 Thank you so much for playing it and for sharing such kind words❤️🤗
