Congratulations!  I'm looking forward to playing it!

This game was really fun and enjoyable!  As others have said, it really replicates the experience of playing an MMO, and the characters felt very authentic.  It gave me really warm feelings (I did get decent endings) for my time spent as a regular MMO player back in the day, and I think, even if one wasn't involved in a scene like that, the feelings of having real friends online is something that this game conveys very well.

I do wish there was a littttttle more to the game after confirming that one becomes partners with the LI (I have only played the Chris route so far).  The end felt very abrupt.  Like, the GM totally needs to get razzed for dating Chris from the guildmembers!  There should definitely be some playful server rivalry after the two start dating.  

In any case, this game is really good, and thanks so much for making it!  I look forward to the Potato route.

I've been excited about this game since playing the beta prologue (well before the Kickstarter), and I've been impressed by the quality of the work overall--both writing and art.  I am still looking forward to it so much, but I would never ask you to compromise your health or to feel guilty about what you're able to do within certain timeframe parameters.

So many of us have been having difficulties for the past few years, and it's a very common thing to feel that those difficulties are hard to discuss, or that one may be fearful to bring them up.  I am honored that you've shared what you have with us, and it only makes me identify with you and your team more as humans.

I am confident that this game is going to be AMAZING.  If my own current challenges didn't require me to be cutting back on expenses, I would have done the Kickstarter, or I would pre-order right now.  I have to wait on that, though, but I promise that I will buy the game as soon as I have more cushion!!  It is one of the few titles I'm super-looking forward to. <3

Keep up your good work, and know that we're out here supporting you and cheering you on, including cheering times when you rest or reevaluate!

I want you to know that this is probably one of my favorite games of all time.  I recommend it constantly, too.

YES!  I LOVE DANCING.  :P

If you click on the photos and scroll through, there's one which seems to indicate that we can. 

I totally understand.

We didn't used to have social media in this world.  Imagine standing in the center of an auditorium, or a football/soccer field, and having everyone yell their opinions about your work at you.  No-one would put up with that--they would try to leave.  It's completely overwhelming!  Unfortunately, not only are we now expected to continue standing in the center of that crowd of shouting people, we're also expected to both listen to and answer or placate every voice aiming a comment or criticism our way.  It's ridiculous.  You don't have to do that.  No-one has to do that.  It's an inhuman expectation.

That being said, I appreciate your honesty, and your vulnerability.  I do not feel that it is owed to me, nor do I want you to feel as if you owe it to your audience either.  I appreciate the bravery and sincerity required to write so honestly, and I respect that very much.

As far as your game; though I haven't played it in four months, I recall it being well-done, being mysterious, and wanting to figure it out and feeling very challenged.  I also personally do not recall there being any major English language usage issues (I can be a bit sensitive to that if I feel it impedes immersion, and I don't recall feeling that way about your game).  I also recall reading the commentaries/threads and discussions before I purchased it, and got the sense that it would not be a typical otome.  Additionally, I feel the main character has a good sense of agency, but that the world around her is duplicitous and out to use her.

In any case, congratulations on the hard work, perseverance and effort that went in to making this game!  It's a remarkable achievement.  Not everyone has the courage, skills, or will to even attempt what you've managed to do.  I'm glad that you're proud; you should be!

This is a wonderful game!  The sprites are beautifully drawn, the change in expression when mousing over the response choices is a clever addition, and the story is sadly tender while having also being funny and playful.

I've been looking forward to this game so much!  Woo!  *applauds excitedly*

Hopefully!  Did you try it?

To be honest, I did exit the game without even saving because of the spelling errors and awkward phrasing.  Am I sensitive?  Not really.  But I love reading, and those problems did prevent me from feeling immersed in the story.

I speak another language besides English.  Could I write a story in that other language?  Probably not without a lot of help, and I'm pretty fluent in that second language.  From the type of spelling errors and awkward phrasing, it was clear to me before reading your comment that you were non-Native English speakers.  You absolutely can fix the obvious spelling errors and replace some of the directly translated terminology and phrases with ones that are more authentic.  I'm not sure, as I haven't played more than a brief bit of your game, but if your game is good, putting that effort in can make it very good, great, or even excellent.  Up to you, though!

Alternatively, you could always write the game in your native language. I've played some VNs in the my next-most fluent language and found it very enjoyable, as well as a good way to build my skills.

 

Je suis venue seulement pour dire (ecrire?) que j'aime ce jeu.  <3  Vous avez faites quelque chose tant formidable--avec tout les renseignements sur la culture et la vie en la Coree du Sud.  Les personnages aussi sont tellment bien, et j'aime tous les idols!  

Au debut, avant d'avoir jouer, j'ai depenser simplement $5--vos efforts s'en vaut vachement plus que ca, c'est la verite.  Est-ce qu'il y a un facon de vous payer de plus?  Peut-etre je vais essayer acheter le jeu encore . . . 

Et, enfin--je me suis desolee pour manquer tous les accents--je suis Americaine, et sans faire le copy+paste, je ne sais pas comment le faire avec mon clavier dans un <<comment>>.

Merci pour vos travailles sur ce jeu, et bon courage!  

Thank you!  I'm suspecting that it's some sort of glitch in the app, though, because I still couldn't install it.  I do have a screenshot of the info that the app displayed regarding the failure.  I logged into Itch via my browser instead, and had no problem.  Let me know if you want to see the image.  For me, however, the issue is resolved.  Thanks for your timely attention!

Windows.

I really wanted to play this through Itch rather than Steam, but I was unable to download or install the game, as the installer couldn't seem to find the 'build'.  Is this an error, or have you removed the game from Itch?

I love the demo and I eagerly await the full game!
