I am so happy to hear you like the music in the game! ππΆ If you are interested, please check out the artists who created the music and their other works. They all have profiles on pixabay.com, where I downloaded their works, and you can find the names of the artists on the credits page at the end of the game. Alternately, I should have added information / links in the info section of each of the files, so you can access their profiles from there too! Thank you for checking out the game!!

Wow! Thank you so much for your review!! It means a lot to me, to be able to read about your experience of the game. I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and the story, and that it was able to convey some of the deeper feelings that I tried to portray in the game. Really glad too that you enjoyed the side characters, because all of them are crucial elements of the story… and now that I am working on creating a second edition of the game, I actually have been thinking about adding side stories for these characters.
Thank you again for your detailed review and for checking out the game!! ππ
Wow you've created another VN! I just finished reading through it. I really like the atmosphere you've built up throughout the game... especially with the BGM and sounds! They managed to convey a deep sense of sadness and despair... and longing for the past. The end of the story really took me by surprise! Is the story a reference to a myth? I looked it up but I don't think I found the right references! I really like the art in the game as well... especially the backgrounds with the night sky and mountain scenery!
This was such a heart-warming story! I was a little wary with the choices I made but glad things turned out fine in the end! π I loved all the characters in the game, especially Phoebe! She's such a good friend!! The plot of the story really drew me in and I didn't stop playing at all until I reached the end! I also really enjoyed the little twist at the end... I think it adds extra meaning to the story!
I loved the art, and the character design! The black and white aesthetics really matches the story.
I wish I was able to play your game during the game jam period... but something came up and I had to travel and did not have consistent wifi!
All in all, this was a really lovely game with a meaningful message... and was fun to read and play through! Along with the art I can almost imagine this as a picture book!
Thank you for your kind review! ππ I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the story and its setting!!
Thank you also for pointing out the language errors!!! Haha.. yes I used to study French a while ago but havenβt used it in a long time… OMG!! I need to practise again!! I will definitely correct them in the upcoming versions of the game! π
Just to add… Sister Agnes has a few different lines in the other route… if you ever do read it and find any errors, please let me know! Iβd really appreciate your input! πβπ»
I took a break and checked out your game! Wow, I have to say it was really really interesting. Your writing really drew me in even though I don't usually read stories with a medieval setting and I am quite unfamiliar with a lot of the terms and setting. But it was fun learning about the Eastern European landscape in the Middle Ages... this is definitely new for me! I really like the subtle BGM... it is a great accompaniment for the story without giving away too much of what's to come. I kind of went around in circles a little when I got to the part where I was supposed to explore the village, but I really appreciate how the choices change and they guide you back to where you are supposed to go. Are there different endings to Chapter 1? I got myself in trouble at the end! LOL!
One thing I would prefer though is having the option to rollback to a previous choice, and a history log for the VN so that I can go back and refer to details that came up before. But other than that I really like the game and the format that you've chosen! The hand-drawn illustrations really add to the experience!! I can't wait to see what eventually happens in the story!!!
Thanks for your kind review! π I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the story! π About the pixelated transitions... they are caused by lagging in the browser version of the game. I would recommend playing the downloaded version if you don't mind downloading the game into your computer! No pixelated transitions are used in the game, and in the downloaded version there will be no issues with delays in music and sound effects, which really gives you the full experience of the story!
Thank you again for checking out my game!!
I just finished playing the whole game! The story is really meaningful and I am glad it is not too scary! π I had to turn off the music because it was a bit intense for me (I am just easily spooked, but for a game centred around ghosts I think it really sets the mood). I didn't find the mini games too difficult to understand, and I am glad we're always given pointers. I didn't look at what was inside the pool... were we supposed to? I just followed everyone's advice and did what the characters suggested. I tried once to go to the pool, but I was told to not go there... and I am now very curious what is in there... but I am not sure if I want to know... π°
I got killed by a stonefish first and then the anglerfish before I managed to date anyone!! Haha! I love mermaids and ocean themes! I love the ocean BG in the game and the effects you added to it! It was fun getting to know about the different kinds of marine creatures in the Australian waters... I didn't even know what an anglerfish was before!
