I'm excited to be a beta tester in January! whoo~

Some folks think bad ends are funny. Crossroads had a lot of random death ends. "Oh, going into the river to get your basket- you drown!" "You went into the obviously creepy shack all by yourself- you're strangled!"

This being villains you can date, maybe it's more suitable to have a hard mode. My immersion gets a little broken from too many deaths and reloads but I'm just one voice. 

I've been mentioning your game often so I hope when it releases the response is strong :)

yaaay! 

First playthrough of each romance I commit to all first choices anyway. I want to see what happens when I play authentically. it's 2nd and 3rd I straight up use guides. Some peeps use guides from the get go, I've seen this from similar questions on r/otomegames

I don't know how many of your user base would play hard mode. If current user base says normal mode is dicey, maybe just easy and normal? Saves you work. Unless it just pleases your soul to do to make a hardmode, then by all means do as you wish. ^_^

I'm amused I remembered the order of a route path of a game I haven't touched in over two months. Why can't my memory be used for useful things XD

Kill the sultan's aide, lose the war, decline the sultan harem, get bought by the old soldier, don't run away. Ends with a slave tattoo

Dane's coloring needs a tweak because he looks like frankenstein or undead person. Some broken english as well. Overall, very unique VN. Good luck.

I'm such a fan of the soulmate trope. I started bawling when he said he'd pick her every time. "Always." I loved that instead of a sprite there was a hand, I loved the thread, I love his meta memory, I loved that the background music had whispers that made you kind listen hard for it, as hard as you try to remember a memory.  You're wonderful, thank you for writing this, and producing it, and getting it all together. 

The toggle for dragon energy is cool. I was gazing into the eyes of Fenir for sure by the end of it being like, I want to kiss you. And the need of the Fae really draws me to Kaan'a route as well. Even though I was all in on Fenir, the fact that MC has said they'd help anyone brought me to Kuan'as route first. When an LI needs me to save their world, so hard to turn those puppy eyes down. Definite buy for me when it releases. 

I'm not the writer but a lot more details of the common variety may have made it work less? I know I was confused about why she broke up with him cuz he actually seemed nice. I suppose more details about their relationship would have reinforced that, but I'd already understood it was a good relationship from the references to gaming nights. And then why the breakup gets explained-- I guess I'm saying, I really liked it the way it was. And I did pick up on him being the spider. And I really appreciate him not killing her too, it supports the "I have to keep my precious person safe even against themself" feeling.

I can't even imagine how traumatizing it would be to tell 50 families that. I'm applying to medical school this year. I did feel like the credits "to all survivors' had more to do with COVID than the video game narrative, and this just confirmed it.

Oh this was so sweet. Voice acting is solid. I related to the frequent alarm the main character, an ex medical student, had about activities in a post apocalyptic world. The artwork for laying side by side and the non spicy affection was appreciated and Gabe was downright gorgeous. Demisexual representation was lovely. I also liked that there was more to the bad ends then just, "yer dead." Will recommend to others. 

Spoilers:

It's almost lie they're both yanderes, because it plays the soul mate/ fate bound card so hard.

I actually liked the ending where she bit him to turn herself, but that's short term satisfaction. What's to keep them from literally going insane 100 cycles more? And I was actually a bit sad on the ending where he turned to ash. If it'd been elaborated on more, I might have even teared up. It was giving me "interview with a vampire" flashbacks for sure. The "Let's Fight Fate" haha I wasn't feeling optimistic they'd succeed. But I love the kinda fourth wall breaking meta memory thing. Thanks for making it, I'll put it on my recommend list.

This was great. Sometimes intrigue of the court feels tedious but you hit the right balance and made Lady Robin's intelligence shine through with every choice. 

I'm intrigued about the future release. I did wonder if there was a different plan for definitions in the final release. They are distracting popping up in the same place as the MC's internal monologue. 

The art is pretty, the premise is fun. It was too dark for me, I was very sad for the other contestants and it soured my happy ending with Ackerman. Good luck~

I fell in love with a silhouette named Derrick. I was grinning the whole time. I wasn't willing to see what I thought was the bad end by saying she wanted to return to the real world until I finished Jack's happy ending.  And then it turns out our love can Isekai our chosen man to us ❤️

Wait: a 5th ending?!

This was a very well done mature poly friendly !!Femdom!! demo with sex scenes that were actually worth reading. Bonus points for mutual masturbation being a sex scene, so many stories are like "intercourse or bust" even if it makes no sense in a medieval world to be that casual about it.  At first I was all over corrupting Kyros the priest, but Byrn the Paladin is a sweet submissive accepting guy who just wants Ceri's happiness and it's hard not to get a little softhearted for him. I'm quite pleased to see the description implies I can have all three of them, or just the two boys. And it's believable the priest would struggle with the concept of polyamory a bit. This was carefully written and lovely. I would definitely buy and play on release and I'm spreading the word. :)

It does. Now I want to play the demo again 😆

Hint! Hint! Is there butler goodies to see in the demo? Excited.

interesting. So there is a point system. 

I thought I was on the right path when Vin was like, "did she see how she was a scared rabbit, so cute" so I thought him liking MC was the path to safety. But I got death. I only succeeded once and it was when I was just rude/aloof the whole time. I thought, that makes sense? But then, how do the eventual smooches happen if she's like "don't touch me" forever ?😅  And then I didn't know if allying with the butler or calling him out was the right path. 😆

I usually always play blind the first time and then guides at that point. I expect this game to be harder to navigate because death is always round the corner with the villains always wondering if you're worth the effort of keeping her alive. Vin does have this ability of making you feel more comfortable since he's so silly.

Getting the bad ends are super easy. I had to reload several times after being shown the treasure room because Edel took me out everytime. I think the key to the good end was being rude and unaccepting of them the entire time, at least, that is how I finally didn't get Edel's murder knife. 

-Whose route would you choose first? And why?

Vin. Like another user said, Edel scares me too much at first brush. He is also definitely appropriately nicknamed the Bad End Butler and has murdered me several times now. 

-What's your favorite scene/event?

I liked so much of it. I laughed when she said money. I loved torturing Edel through Vin. I loved the commentary in MC's head about how cute Estella and Henry are. 

-Are you interested in playing the full release? 

Automatic buy for me. 

The inner emotional gifs are genius. 

I was a patron for a bit, then turned it off. But I want the 18+ content. How do I interact with patreon to get that content? sign up for a certain level, then download or I'm just confused?

F/F and F/M, orgy, interspecies sex (orc and spirit so far), submission, degradation, humiliation, slavery, consensual non consent, outright rape. MC can be whipped, tied up, and tattooed. Does that help?

1) Warrior - Leave with Kate, join the mercenaries
2) Mage - Leave with Kate, don't join, scream when the bandit approaches you
3) Princess - Just stay with Thomas.
4) Crime - Leave with Kate, don't join mercenaries, do nothing when the bandit approaches you
5) Rahayal - Leave with Kate, don't join mercenaries, run away from bandit, leave Lethram
6) Tribes - Lose the war against the Tribes by making bad decisions.
7) Sailor - Leave with Kate, hook up with Belmont, join mercenaries, keep hooking up with Belmont.

Oh wow, you got back to me so quickly, thank you. Where is the best place to report errors/bugs for you? Yesterday, I try the Eph and Caleb training route and had sex with them. But when we got to lakeside later, Caleb and Eph acted like Sarah had never had sex with them before. They offered a threesome, Sarah says yes, and Caleb is like, "See, Eph, knew she'd go for it." And I was like, why wouldn't Sarah go for it, from my POV of that route, they've possibly had a minimum of 2 threesomes when they first met, and possible more over the intervening 3 years of her being in the merc company. I also noticed a time when Sarah was referred to AS kate. If I took screen shots or kept track of it, where would you want me to send it?

Hello, I love your game. I love the bittersweet memories that Sarah continues to have of Atilla many years later, it's so rare that storylines don't decide to have amnesia about previous romances. Seeing Sarah nestled against Dream Atilla at the lakeside was just the right kind of pain for me. Anyway, I was reading other people's reviews and apparently there are huge parts of the game I can't find access to. I feel like I've picked all the choices but I haven't run into any Tibal Harem content and zero Mage Content. 

So, what I've noticed about visual novels is that they shine best in dialogue, and the more time you can spend in dialogue the better. I was not very into this novel until Rubia showed up and started talking to the MC, for example. Another thing is that the transition from dream NPC 1 to dream NPC 2 and then to MC inner thoughts was unclear, and I had to adjust who I thought was "talking" each time, so as a reader, that transition being more clearly demarcated would be appreciated. Otherwise, great demo dude, I appreciate the good level of vocabulary :)

I know but him complaining like that is like Ridiculous grouch, it intrigued me immediately. He's like "hey, you can't die here." XD I was like, omg, who would even say that, must know. I'm glad you're making these games. 

This is an excellent well thought out reply. Thank you for being you :) Changeling is in my top four Otome.

I just want to say that you somehow looked inside my brain and allowed for the reactions I would have chosen. I would have pitied the homeless dude-check. I would have fought against the kidnappers- check. You just nailed it, I don't even know if it had to do with the personality questions at the start or not. Just, KUDOS, will absolutely buy upon release, will happily pay $20-$30 for such quality. Absolutely fell for Quill based on looks alone, he looks like a Tsundere I want to crack XD

excellent. Thank you for taking what I said as only helpful comments, I've given feedback before and the response was really mean so I appreciate that you were quite kind to me while standing in for your integrity of art. 

I completed the demo, and thought to offer the thoughts of a future customer, as I definitely appreciate Indie Otome and support appropriately.

1. Why would an Agendered person assume the gender of Marion? They should similarly ask for Marion's pronouns as well if we're going through the trouble of having the conversation.

2. It takes me out of the role of the character for MC to be automatically written as attracted to all the love interests. If I the player are not attracted to certain characters, why isn’t the couple of lines  about attraction a quick choice?

3. I really object to the over familiarity. Non consensual touching is a big dislike of mine. A stranger playing with my hair makes me feel like an object, and kissing hands in greeting or goodbye is almost appropriate but kissing it in the middle is just kinda weird.

4. The dancing transitions should slide more slowly. It’s meant to mimic a dance and I felt more “jerked around" than fluidic dancing and maybe going more slowly would help.

5. Not a fan of the greensleeves voice work but music is super subjective.

6. Writing wise, I have no idea why Marion would tell someone right off the bat about their situation. What was the point of the disguise if you tell someone you're wearing a mask within days of donning it?

Anyway, as much as I just complained, it's in my follow list and it'll be a buy when it comes out. I'll probably just ignore the stuff I don't like like I always do, but I hope my comments help anyway.
