I like the double meaning of 'trifle' in Mr Worthington's POV. *raises an eyebrow* <3

Thank you for these! They really add to their characters, and still NOPE to Guy. XD

<3 Lots of love for your work!

Can I say that Cpt. Sinclair reminds me of Brash from Demonheart, with that crooked smile and hair, but with an much more irritating face. However he eventually grew on me with his unexpected moments of consideration and support.

I actually think that the dispassionate proposal from Mr. Worthington makes sense. He is in a way, trying to approach it from the perspective of a protector who is trying to fix a mistake, and may be afraid of scaring her away from him by showing any romantic affection. After all, he has known her since she was a young girl, and he definitely does not want her to think that he has been thinking of her in that inappropriate way.

I have no affection for Guy. I certainly agree with the Miss Fernside, that if he could think her capable of the rumours, that he is unworthy of her.

It is definitely very rewarding to have supportive parents, even if the friends are nonexistent. I really hope to have the option of some kind of reconciliation between Miss. Fernside and her friends, or even for her to make new ones!

I'm also hoping that Miss. Fernside might pick up some other hobbies. It seemed that a lot of time passed ingame with her not really doing very much. Perhaps she might try to wrap her thoughts around Plato, trade, military strategy, or maybe even sewing dolls for the orphanage. Anything but being idle!

I am SO looking forward to this game and its Kickstarter! <3

Thank you for creating this!

<3 Love your work, take your time and sort through your issues first before the game. <3
Thank you for the progress update!

I laughed SO much throughout the game - this was fantastically and very humourously written!

Playing Shika is awesome! I'll try the other races eventually - haha

I get what you mean, which was why one of my first questions were whether the player got to decide who the traitor was based on their findings.

Technically Janet is supposed to be assigned to be the partner of the person she found the 'most suspicious' if we follow the demo says, and technically speaking, you as the player make that choice when you figure out who you want to be partner to. This is assuming there is only one traitor in the game as per the initial assumption.

It is the ultimate decision for Jen to decide what would work best, but for now, I'm just as impatient to get the full game in my hands!!!! But quality work takes time and as gut wrenching as it feels, I have to wait. All we can do is provide our suggestions on how it could be improved in our eyes :)

Would you be updating the demo, or would the next release be a full one?

Thank you for your reply <3 I am SO hyped now!! Any estimated release date? It is a lot of work.

Huh -  so the traitor is fixed -  that suggests that there is one 'true' route? perhaps that of Wolfe? 
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that -  unless Wolfe's route is an unlockable (like Hatoful boyfriend's BBL)
Is it possible to go through the game without getting romantically involved with anyone, and would it lead to a 'bad end'?

Question: In the full game, will the team's profiles be updated as Agent Mirage learns more about them? At one point, would she be expected to identify the traitor/mole, and there be consequences for the wrong answer?

Nooo!! But yes, a quality product takes lots of time to make and perfect <3

There is a continuity issue though -  If the MC chooses to rescue Prince or Cat first, and then commences the conversation with Bull  the next day about his accessory, she wouldn't have seen him fight to notice the similarities between his moves and his inspiration.

It bothers me a little bit-  mostly because to write it out would diminish his character a bit - at the same time, continuity.

My bad! I just went through it again, and I was completely wrong with that!! It works the way it's supposed to <3

I'm definitely checking out your dev blog regularly, and I am SO ready to throw money at you to support you - let me know how I can do that!

In short-  I LOVE THIS!

You really have a knack for story telling and character building!!
I submitted my answers to the survey too!

I'm going to be on edge waiting for the full game! Thank you so much for making this!

Any idea when it might be finished?

PS: Diamond, Cross and Bull are my favourites so far <3

This definitely gets two thumbs up from me! <3

I definitely 150% appreciate that the two men are different enough in personality and race compared to most otome games, and Val is cool and capable - a modern feisty strong lady.

I would totally give you money to make indepth games! - any way to do that?

Looking forward to future releases!

Hi there :)

Pros

Nice idea  - preserving nature is always a huge plus for me
Fairly detailed spell casting - a small learning curve, but the descriptions were clear enough
Pretty setting
Beautiful colours and attractive sprites

Cons

Invisible walls - couldn't access a wolf fang in a small clearing among the trees despite my path being clear, and it was right there in front of me
Unclear as to efficacy of spells - my plants were dying really quickly despite me raising their speed of growth, toughness and size to 443 or something
Not as much interactivity with the surroundings apart from pushing animal sprites around and interacting with the casting pillars
Cleansing the corruption - unsure as to what was happening - At first, it caused corruption of the relevant woodland animal/plant, then there were 0 indicators of corruption (no purple) on the indicator, but I could see corrupted wolves and plants - and all three populations were dying really quickly.

It certainly needs quite a lot of work, and more direction. I assume the full game would give the player much more to do and the programming would be polished up.

I look forward to your next update, and thank you for putting your idea into practice!

Saya sangat suka game ini!

Seriously, apart from some grammar, continuity,  and spelling issues (which I can forgive) I really love the characters, their development, growth, mysteries and Reksa!

Some other commentators have talked about the role of the woman being very stereotypically feminine in this game - but to be honest, this is the past, and this is war - the men fight, the women feed the men and look after all domestic chores.

I haven't tried Rama or Mitra's route yet - I had my eyes set on Reksa from the word 'go', and his route exceeded my expectations.  The MC is spunky, spirited, human and quite relatable. Even the professional Japanese otome game (Amnesia, I'm looking at you) did not come close to having this sort of meaningful content.

I can't wait to see more from you! If this was your first game - your story was so good, that it has set a very high bar for the next one.

I'll be happy to help proofread your next game for free if you like :)

Much love from Malaysia!

Hi there!

I found the game to be quite well written, however had some issues (probably personal) with the male characters personalities blending into each other apart from the MC. 

Apart from that, the premise is interesting, and it was kinda sad that so far, there were no visible 'ghosts', but I assume that was deliberate to make the descriptions more creepy.

MC had an advantage with his EMF equipment which I relied on to make my verdicts. I felt like I was cheating though!

I felt that there was a religious streak, as I stumbled across 'The Truth' in my first playthrough, but that would be expected from 'Godline', haha.

Looking forward to try different paths in future playthroughs to see what happens ^^

Thank you for making this game!

Thank you so much for making this game!
Fritz's route is heartbreaking, and was really thought provoking while Waltz was the best looking, and his route generated the most tears (Kudos by the way)

Fritz and Varg all the way though <3

I liked that it wasn't always clear cut as to which good deed it was that triggered the extra piece to appear, and to have Lucette question the motives of everybody is excellent-  it's just the other side of the coin.

The soundtrack was great as well! I loved 'Piano' and 'Calm' piano pieces. is there sheet music available?

Much love from this player ^^

My 60s dress, and I'm not even a 60s girl. XD

I like the textures - achieved by patterns.

1. Are you enjoying Neil's route, do you still like him/hate him?

Much like the other posters, Neil starts of abrasive , rude and highly unpleasant. The Masquerade was a very nice touch, and gave us a taste of the other side of him. I liked the emotional punch that perhaps the main character shouldn't have been fighting back, but at the same time if she didn't, he might not have respected her as much as he does. I am reminded of Pride and Prejudice - was that your intention?
It is logical that the two of them fire up each other's loins - the description was pretty steamy *sagely nod*

I don't hate him, but I don't like him either, but I am interested to see where the two of them end up. I'm glad you decided to change the hair colour though. When I finished his chapters, I was apparently equally fierce and kind and I felt that was reflective of the relationship.

2. What are your thoughts on Dimitri's first two chapters? Do you want to read more?

I am somewhat disappointed that Dimitri is so young, being a somewhat older player. I like geeky guys - yes, the Charisma, Strength and Intelligence t shirt was awesome! I agree with the other posters that it feels weird pursuing your soon-to-be ex boyfriends younger brother. Perhaps if Dimitri found some independence away from his family before starting a relationship with the MC or is inspired to find his own independence thanks to her... Then the two of them go their own path and occasionally run into Alex who tries to seduce her away from his brother or something.  Just a thought.
I would like to see more, he's the kind of guy I like.

3. Who's your favourite guy out of Neil and Dimitri? Or perhaps Alex?

Neil is a complex character, Dimitri hasn't been fully fleshed out yet. Alex is a jerk and I would like to see him in serious trouble. No favourites yet.

4. What's your favourite CG?

I'm going to parrot the others and say that the first CG with Neil trying to hide behind his laptop. That was really funny and very appropriate for someone of his age and his experience.

I will state that I am disappointed that we never saw the dress she wore to the masquerade though.

5. What's your favourite chapter or scene?

I liked the scenes with Angela in it. She's such a fun character!

6. Which part was the most romantic to you?

I didn't find any part particularly romantic as of yet, but I am a bit hardened. Steamy however? Yes.

7. Out of all of the side characters, is there anyone you would want as a date option?

None at this time.

8. Did you at any point get stuck on a loading screen?

No.

9. Were you able to create clothing using the “Design” button?

Yes, I wish the clothes had more texture and the colours weren't so bright, my first outfit was a pink-magenta and yellow 60s dress because everything was so bright! Looked great though XD

10. Did you encounter any bugs while designing?

Not that I noticed, but it took me a while to figure out how to use details - mainly due to my impatience during the tutorial.

11. Were you able to dress up your avatar using the “Outfit” button?

Yes, that was great! thanks. We can layer different outfits, which would create an interesting look.

12. Was everything easy to use, or were the menus too complicated?

Menu was fine.

13. What did you like more, creating clothes, dressing up the avatar, or reading the story?

I would enjoy creating clothes more if I had more textures and if colours were more matte than shiny.
I loved dressing the avatar in my creations
The story is well written and kept me engaged the entire time.

14. Most importantly, did you enjoy the game? :D

Yes! i look forward to further development. Do you take donations? ^_^

Thank you for your perseverance in creating a wonderful game!

I managed to get the 'True Love' Ending in all three playthroughs which was a surprise to me.
Lord Stanton was my absolute favourite. The MC being very much her own woman and going against all society's conventions, especially when confronting not one, but several dangerous individuals in the name of justice

I was a bit cold for Mr. Amesbury and Blake was a bit boring to me, but that is probably because you had written such a great story for Lord Stanton.

I'm very much looking forward to future titles! I also particularly loved the soundtrack, especially the solo piano at the very last CG. (Best for Stanton)

<3 Much love from this player.

PS: I think Stanton's CG scenes were the best. Blake's looked a little deformed at times. Amesbury had the second best CG scenes.
