Hey, I wanted to report a few bugs. I tried replaying the game from the beginning and a lot of stuff changed?
- Everytime Victor appears, he appears in the new form than the original one.
- After choosing between Autammark Gorge and Old Forest in chapter 2, the second option doesn't play through. Like If I choose Old Forest I never end up meeting Khai because I never end up going to Autammark Gorge.
- The last save I made with the beginning of the latest scene with Victor starts playing in the middle of Chapter 2 like after the first scene with Amelie, the last save plays out.
- The scene with Jean when Catherine fails to pay back her loan doesn't play through at all.
- In the Batria route, everytime Catherine goes home, it opens up in Legio Valantia Camp and doesn't glitch back.
There are probably more but I got frustrated trying to get back to Batria after every scene and gave up. Please fix these, I've been playing since 2 years and I really love your game.
Great game! The art is gorgeous and the story is so intriguing! The characters are so diverse and hot and I simply wanna try all their routes. The story itself is surrounded in an aura of mystery that I can't wait to uncover. I'm really looking forward to the finished game! Also, is the game gonna be on Steam?
Quick question tho, how do I decode the key to the door? I found the keys, just unsure how to use them?
SPOILERS:
Wow. I kinda skimmed the content warnings and missed reading that it's a yandere game. I started playing this fully assuming it's a normal otome game and chose Ichigo's route first and boy was I shocked at the twists the story took. The story is soo good, altho you pretty much figure out Yuzuki's story after playing Ichigo's. The art is beautiful though and I really loved the CGs. I ended up loving Haruto and Yuzuki together and I really wanted an ending where they both end up together, so despite it's name, I ended up liking Bad Ending 1 of Ichigo's route most, not gameplay wise but just story wise.
The psychological horror part really got to me, the drastic change in the way the MC's behaviour towards Ichigo changes in the 2 routes. It really shows that her love was always temporary and shallow and she was just clinging to whoever showed her the most affection. That being said, her character is so well written and kind of relatable(?). I don't usually like yandere games but this one definitely is an exception. Looking forward to more games from this developer!
Firstly, this game is so good! I love it. I'm not Filipino so I didn't know the original story before this, but I immediately recognized it as being very similar to "Water of Life" from Grimm's Fairy Tales.
I think I would go with Diego's route first since I'm soo curious about his past and I just wanna protect him so bad. Plus, he looks gorgeous! Then Pedro's and then Juan's.
I played the Android version, which I'm so glad exists coz it's much more comfortable although a bit troublesome too, especially with saving while making a choice and going back a dialogue.
I don't have a favorite scene on the common route yet, but my favorite thing about this game is how you've managed to completely redeem all three characters by the end of chapter 3. I must admit I only vaguely liked Diego at the beginning and thought Pedro was a bit stuckup and uptight but by the end, I liked him way more than I expected myself to (maybe even the most). Also, Addie (whose carefree and funny attitude which I absolutely cannot relate to😅) is freaking adorable!
The only plot twist I'm expecting is that Addie isn't human and maybe somehow her family is descended from Adarna (I know it's a weird theory) and she happens to be the youngest descendent or something like that. Also, she didn't mention any female relatives so...
Sorry for rambling, I just had so much to say about this game. I'm so looking forward to the next chapter!
This was one of the most bitter sweet and heartfelt games I've ever played. The story is just...words aren't enough to describe it. It was short yet very touching. While I enjoyed both the routes, Caleb's was my favorite despite it being sadder (Or maybe I liked it because it was more sad?). The music and style of art just adds the perfect atmosphere to the story. Thank you so much for this wonderful game.
Very nice game! The story and lore is so interesting and pulls you in, especially with the idea of utopia as compared to so many other stories set in dystopian post apocalypse worlds. The characters are diverse and my favorite is most definitely Fenir. The stats system is also stress free(atleast for now) the whole game has a very calm vibe especially with the music. The free time concept is also really fun and I thoroughly enjoyed going on a date with all of the available options. I didn't face any glitches throughout the game.
That being said, I did wonder about a few issues. The MC blushes SO. MUCH. The MC's character is also oddly contrasting at times. Like right after they were attacked(both times), they seem all calm and blushing. I mean for someone who just went through what most people would consider traumatic, they seem way too interested in the guys who rescued them rather than being worried about the attack. The MC comes off as more of a girly otome protagonist rather than a strong lead protagonist, despite pickings options at the start of the personality assessment that clearly contrast this. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the final version.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to see how the finished product turns out.
Any updates as to when this game will be completed or is it abandoned?
Their website is a dead link, they have not been active on twitter since April 2019 or Facebook since July 2019. Their tumblr page can't be found and they last updated on December 2020 on kickstarter about completing Tora's route but dead silence since then. This game was supposed to be completed in March 2019 but I guess they had something going on. Before December they posted monthly updates even if they were quite short. But there has been no word from them since the past 7 months. The backers seem to have lost hope due to the lack of response.
I really love this game and want to see it come to fruition and I really hope that they have not abandoned it. I can understand that things are tough during current times(especially since the artist seems to be an essential care worker) but atleast an update as to whether the game is on hold or abandoned or still in progress would really help
This game is so amazing! The artstyle, BG music and everything was great but the best part is that it's jam packed with content. The chapter itself I felt was a bit short but it was great. There were so many beautiful BGs, CGs and Sol is absolutely gorgeous and everything is so colourful and bright! I really liked that Sol was actually drawn instead of being just described as is the case in most VNs. The MC is nice and I like that you have the options to decide how you felt about your past and actually have a lot of choices that define your affection with the LIs without it being too obvious. The story was great too; the lore is built gradually instead of overwhelming you. As for the LIs, they seem to be quite intriguing but I can't pick a favorite yet!
As for the grammar and writing, for the most part it was fluent but there were a few errors here and there. Like in one place, there was a sentence "She said that putting a funny expression, rolling her eyes". Maybe saying "she put on a funny expression" or simply "she rolled her eyes while making a face" would have been more correct. Other than that there are a few spelling errors but for the most part it's fine. Anyway, I loved this and can't wait for the next chapter to be released!
I love this game so much! It's so hard to believe that it's available for free. The story building was amazing and the characters are so well written. Usually I only play one or two routes when there are 4+ LIs but I played all of them here coz they're all so interesting. I didn't like the art style at first but then I saw the ample number of CGs which were all so beautiful. And the detailed walkthrough guide provided is so handy. The Extras part of the menu is also so fun to play. There were a few spelling errors here and there but not too many to distract you from the story.
It's very hard to find Visual Novels like this which are both story rich and have 18+ content AND are free. This is a very rare find and I'm looking forward to more games from this developer.
I really liked the demo. It was the perfect balance between story and puzzles. I loved the art style! It's very crisp and reminds me of the Dark Dome mystery games. The animations are really good and the characters seem to have a lot of different background stories. I'm really enjoying the storyline and I like that the options show what emotion the MC can express.
As for improvements, I know that this isn't based entirely around romance but I think atleast when the option to romance comes, the dialogues can be a bit more flirtatious. There was also one place, where "strict" was written as "stritch". I do have a few questions: Will the whole game be free or commercial? When will the whole game be released? I really enjoyed the demo and wanna play the whole game soon!
Amazing demo! I especially loved the art style and after playing the demo and reading the dev logs, it's clear that a lot of love has been put into this game. It's clear that Agatha has a lot to learn about herself and I love that the non romantic route is depicted as a journey of self love rather than just not being interested in the LIs. Hope you guys release the next update soon!
(SPOLIERS AHEAD) The guide was a bit confusing but here's the endings with the story:
Ending 1:(Don't Kill Caesar) You end up running away from the Syn with Caesar without restoring your memories
Ending 2:(Don't Kill Caesar) You end up running away from the Syn with Alto without restoring your memories
Ending 3:(Don't Kill Caesar) You end up trying to run away from the Syn but they kill you. You end up dead. Alternate- If you choose the exact same path but choose to kill Caesar, then you get ending 4 but without Alto
Ending 4:(Kill Caesar) You end up having your memories restored at the Syn and end up with Alto
Ending 5:(Kill Caesar) You end up having your memories restored at the Syn but your lover, Caesar, is dead. So you end up alone(?)
I'm in love with this game! The artstyle, BG music, art and everything is great. The story actually pulled me in and I was so disappointed when the demo ended. The characters are very interesting(the LIs as well as the side characters) and I can't wait to get to know them better. Alexander is my favorite though(loved his CGs).
There are a few grammatical and writing errors but I didn't notice them until my second playthrough coz I was so immersed in the story. I like the MC too, she seemed to be trying to make the best out of what she can while staying strong. I just wanted to ask, Will the whole game be free or commercial? And any estimates as to when the game will be released?
I loved the demo! This is so cute. All the characters are interesting(if a bit too dramatic and over the top but in a nice way) and well written. I love the CGs and the voice acting for those particular scenes is great. But the truly underrated character here is Gary's Friend, whom the MC narrates about in practically every scene. I don't know why I find that funny but I don't even know her name despite meeting her several times. I love the college setting and the backstories of each of the characters. There was a weird moment with that "Ameripan" thing which makes me wonder if there is like some sci-fi storyline in the full game.
I'm looking forward to playing the full game, Hope you guys release it by the end of this year!
Edit: Cain reminds me so much of Caine from Tailor Tales, they are SOO similar
The story and everything is nice and all but the game is extremely glitchy, especially if you wanna try all options. It's a pain to load the game coz the screen gets stuck on the load game screen and there's no rollback so you have to save the game but it's hard to load it. Sometimes the game gets stuck on a certain screen. I really do like the story and animations and voice acting but I'm not sure if it worth the constant glitching coz it takes away from the experience. Hope the issue gets fixed coz otherwise this is a great game
This is literally the best Visual Novel that I have ever played! I'm not even exaggerating. It's the perfect balance of humor, fantasy and romance. It takes you on emotional roller-coaster, switching from light hearted and funny to dark and scary in a moment. Never have I played such a game in which I actually laughed out loud at the character's banter or got tears in my eyes from reading some of the darker scenes.
The animation, music and everything was great. But the best part is definitely the characters and the way they are written. The conversation feels natural and it's clear that the MC is a very strong if a bit flawed character and I actually liked her. As for the LIs, I absolutely LOVE Ise. He's funny and flirty most of the time but when needs be he's observant and caring. The chemistry between him and the MC is off the charts. I wanted to try Ceres route too but after completing Ise's, I can't, I love him too much.
**SPOILERS ALERT**My only complaint is that there is a choice to ask Ise to let us go with him to the south demon's area but it's locked. At first I thought it was coz maybe I needed more affection points but even after replaying and picking options that increase affection with Ise, I still couldn't unlock it. So maybe a walkthrough pdf would be a good idea.
Anyway, I loved the game, and I am so looking forward to when you release the whole game. Any estimates as to when it'll be released?
The demo was great, with things that I both liked and disliked. The BG music, art style, story and the characters are great. I really liked them all, I think they fit with the story well and are beautifully drawn. I especially love the art, it's crisp and neat and so good.
The only two things I don't like is the MC and her choices. Maybe it's coz it was just the demo but all the MC seems to do is sleep and eat and laze about. She seems a bit ungrateful and spoilt like she wants a promotion but is unwilling to work for it. Maybe this can explained in the full game(some character development and past experiences explained maybe) but for now she seems like a really obnoxious person. I know the developer's went for a realistic, flawed character but she comes off as really annoying. The second thing is that there were very few choices throughout the demo, but on the bright side, there were multiple options for each choice and each of them made a significant difference. I feel like if you add a few more choices, however small their impact on the story be, it'll be more interactive.
All that aside, I really like this game and am looking forward to playing the full game when it comes out.
This game is most definitely a rare find. The story is uniquely compelling and I was so sad to reach the end of the 2 chapters. I feel like you can totally determine your relationship with any character to make them your favorite character. I tried to follow different paths using rollback or saving it to discover many more scenes because this is very vast game with a lot of consequences for your choices. The black white aesthetic is perfect for this story; maybe it's coz of the dark tale or the sad BG music but the whole vibe of this game is enchanting. I love this and can't wait for the other two chapters. My only complaint(well not really a complaint, more of a comment) is that in one of the CGs it seems that my MC looks like a guy even though I chose her to be a girl. Nothing against it, just an observation.
