This is the third game I played from this developer (Sweetest Valentine and Rotten Angel), and every time I think the plot is going to go in one direction it takes quite a sharp turn that always seems to catch me off guard. It makes for a very interesting game and you're always trying to put the puzzle pieces together to figure things out. I loved that if you play all of the endings and collect the CGs you not only further characterization of Caleb but also get a better picture of what happened in the past. Also, the soundtrack and art are just lovely.

this was a great submission for Spooktober! The characters were fun, their designs were amazing (Ronin and Angel being my faves) and the chat was as chaotic as expected, I didn’t expect to love Ronin as much as I loved V, but that’s curse of his magnetic, devilish charm! I also love how the good and bad endings were based somewhat in realism which made it even more fun!

This was so cute and a great start for the spooky season, Elias is definitely a contender for favorite, but Leo is making me conflicted! I also loved the cute scene at the end! 

Just finished the game...how can you do something so controversial yet brave with that true ending /jk 

I absolutely loved the game! As a horror VN enthusiast the game was atmospheric, the art is amazing, I especially love the character designs (including for a certain someone that shows up on the main screen), and the characters themselves were so interesting it made me finish the game in one sitting. The good ending was cute and I did not expect the true ending go down like that (but I was pleasantly surprised).

Just finished the demo and wow does it look good! I love the art, the animated backgrounds are so gorgeous and captivating, the LIs and plot are really interesting, especially Gael (love of my life, the princely, gentlemanly type) and Xal (so cute), the VAs really fit there roles and I'm looking forward to the full release! 

I have one nitpick/feedback/critique: would there be a feature added in the full game where players can toggle on/off quick time events?

I love the creepy and tense atmosphere you build up as you go through the game and the plot twist of the true ending was quite surprising (in a good way). Raku is my favorite type of yandere where he has an established history with MC/Nellie and his yandere-ness feels like a slow unraveling where at the end he becomes fully unhinged instead right from the start. I also love that based on our choices MC is allowed to be morally ambiguous because of the potential for unhinged MC x unhinged ML (one of my favorite tropes). With the added context from Kanau, it is so interesting being able to go back to this game, comb through the dialogue and get a deeper and better understanding of Raku's and Nellie's backgrounds and characterizations. I can't wait for sequel!

Wow! This was so good! For such a limited word count you were able to convey a lot. I love the gloomy ambience, the sketchy art style, and the ending really drove it all home! I played the demo for Pitstop Purgatory a while back and its in my backlog, but I definitely have to check out Poetry in Purgatory now!

This game definitely shows some promise. I'm so intrigued by two princes and how you can make arguments about why that particular prince is the real one. I can't wait to play the full game! 

Also there is a small bug where when you go to with "Grumpy" and choose the option for "Shy" the name is in the text box shows "The Crown Prince" instead of "'Real' Crown Prince." 

Also, when you choose Options, it doesn't really show a way to quit the game, go back to main menu, or load a save file.

This is my first time commenting, but I got so say wow! I played the original demo a couple of months ago and already loved that, but this was next level. I absolutely adore your beautiful art style, the music fits the melancholy tone so well, loved the interesting dynamic between the MC and ML and how it changes in subtle ways depending on your choices, the bonus stories added even more complexity to their dynamic, and that cliff hanger at the end has me on the edge of my seat and I can't wait for the full release of the game!
