Ah, thank you, I thought it should be somewhere, but didn't think to click on "<<" (but I did click on ">>" and thought that the other one just skips to page 1 xD). It's not your bad, it's my bad))
Got it! Looking forward to antagonist route! ^^
also a spoilery? question, if its okay - maybe there will be answers in other routes, sorry for the impatience, I like the game to much (will try to hide spoliers)

Had a couple of thoughts on second playthrough - one of the merchants in Autumn village sells rice, imported from Spring village - but Spring is destroyed? Is the Antagonist using zombies on the fields??
Another thought is that there are no dryads in Autumn because they where all ancient and are now dead =(
Also, nice to see the Winged One guys and Rama with a blue hair lock ^^ guess Rama's the canon guy!
Hi, SweetChiel, I'm having a blast with Bermuda, was waiting for it all these years!
I have a UI question - is there somewhere where you can find autosaves in-game? In some Ren'Py games there is an "A" or something in the Load section near the page numbers, but couldn't find them in Bermuda( Asking because the game crashed when I was skipping seen text on a second playthrough and the last manual save was a loooong time ago >.< I went to the Saves folder and renamed an autosave file to a "normal one" to get access, but maybe there's an easier way and I just dont know how) Thanks in advance!
Also, for future replays (to get to the Antagonist route) - do you need to replay from the beginning (from mirror choice), or does in branch later? For example, if I choose the blue mirror, can I start doing Guntur events on the Isles and get his route, or am I locked in Arya's?
Sadly, I also can buy games only via Steam for now due to payment restrictions, and I'm looking forward for a Steam release (following you for many years, love the first game, played it on itch.io and on Steam afterwards). And it's more convenient - I have some games on itch.io, that afterwards came to Steam (at that time it was possible to pay through itch.io) - if I had a choice at the moment, I would've bought it there.
So I'm going against my one wishes, but...But those are very valid concerns - and why do yourself a disservice (a lot of work for potentionall risks)? I dunno if there's a bigger market on Steam than on itch.io for VNs, maybe? Many of my gamer friends use exclusive steam/gog/epic/ea and dont even know about itch.io)) but everybody playing VNs knows this platform. So maybe do max sales here and then go on Steam?
But anyways I'm glad the game is out, it's a great milestone! Any choice you make - looking forward to play, either on Steam, or is I'll be able someday to purchase here!
The voices are just TOP!)) love the actors, cant pick a favorite)))
On the tech side - sometimes Ashes voice (#3) is a lot quieter than the music and every other voice( Even with the sliders in the settings turned to min-max their voices(
And there's no choice anymore to open/give back Braums his note?
One word - AMAZING.
Okay, I'm kidding, you won't get away with only one word, I'm too hyped for that :) I would like you to know that I am simply in love with TPG. I play more VNs than I care to admit, but seldom I get so involved. It's enough to say that I didn't skip seen text and read it more than 3 times :D
The writing is smart and funny, the characters are deep and lovable, the art is unique and stylish. And the music complements it so well!
Now, to SPOILER territory
1. What did you think overall?
It's one of my favorite VNs, really. I'll force my friends to play it and they better like it!)))
2. Were you satisfied at the end of the route you played?
I played all the routes and all endings: Braums as Reaver, then Shika, Paris as Cubi, Rafael as Shika, then the extras ("the sercet route"). I knew I would like Rafael best so I left him for desert :) I think that its the best order to play, 'cause I feel the Rafael-Shika is kind off canon because off the secret route))
now I want a fan-disk were the big bad is killed off and Rafael can chop veggies in Ashes restaurant :D
I greatly enjoy the "roadmovie" genre, the humor and MCs with personality, so the game hit me in all the right spots.
The boys. oh, the boys.
Personally, I liked Braums the least because of my general dislike of the crybaby-shota types. But I quite enjoy tsunderes, so it kinda balanced it)) I laughed so hard from the comment below about him being a fashion disaster, it's so true :D Still, I would like to complement your writing - normally I just skip or completely ignor this type of LI's, but Braums got to my soft spot. Storywise, I didn't quite get his age - is he younger than the MC? Because of that his romance felt more like a teenage crush, rushed into courtship and marriage
Paris - ooooh the steamy bits ;) good thing red cheeks don't glow in the dark. I still have reaver-Ash/Paris to run through, I wanna see the dynamic, but it was quite fun when NPCs commented Cubi-Ash with pink hair and Paris as siblings) so cool
And Rafael is my favorite, omg i'm going dangerously in fangirl territory, make it stop! Or no, don't. His sprites were absolutely gorgeous, all that emotion! He's badass, but a little socially incompetent, but not in an awkward way (I hate to feel embarrassed for characters), so sweet. The flirting parts were just hilarious, I love hin so much)))
3. What was your favorite part?
Apart from all said above, I really liked the GUI style and the system design (that it shows immediately if you chose right and that you can scroll back and rechoose, and that you can skip to next choise if you want). Generally I play otomes with a walkthrough because I hate skipping 10 routes a thousand times 'till I get it right, so its great
The customisation was fun and that it actually meant something (even your eye color is sometimes) - funX2. I liked that Ash had I different personality and background, the playthroughs felt different for me (like a Shika-Ash and Rafael with all the Shika culture and hand stuff). Don't know if the gender makes such a difference, didn't try male Ash
But most of all I enjoyed the writing and lighthearted atmosphere. I had such a good time with the game
4. Least favorite part?
Why is it so short? *crying*
On a serious note, the ending (bandints + last night) felt a little rushed, like there was intended to be a couple more scenes somewere there. The whole pretender intrigue was simple, but it's not the point of the game so its ok)
And yes, some of the paid VNs took me less time to go through, but any amought less than infinite of TPG is short :D
5. Did you find any bugs/typos?
The extras didn't open the first time I played but then they popped out
6. Other comments or suggestions
Actually I was circling around the game for quite and amount of time and didn't consider it because of the yaoi tag (I don't play pure BL games). But then I read the description and that was the end off me
7. Would you consider sharing the game page on Twitter to spread the word?
I'm not from the english segment of Twitter (so please excuse me for my poor English), but I certainly would like to share screenshots and screams!
8. If I made a commercial game would you consider purchasing it?
I already bought Arena Circus GK, now I'm waiting for the whole thing to be done to play it all together
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE GREAT
Omg, bought the game after playing the demo - its so great! Pity that the voices aren't present in the full game yet, the acting is wonderful.
Waiting for Haiuye so much ^.^
Also, is the 4-th CG (between Shuye and Mikio) in the game already and I missed it, or is it Daochan's intro CG and will be available later?
Thx for the great work!
