For some reason my desktop won't play the demo but my laptop plays it, dunno if its just my desktop or not.

Hi there! Just had a quick question: I've been trying to 100% the scenes section and I can't figure out for the life of me how to unlock #4 on the sea section. I feel like I've done every combination I can think with the hints on and still can't trigger it. Any hints or help would be super appreciated. Really enjoyed the demo and can't wait for the full game to come out! :)

I love the Demo and I can't wait for the full game to come out.  Though there is one thing that bothers me and it's the protags left eye when her eyes get small, it looks like its a lazy eye. Though it could just be the angle she's in and its in the correct position.

Hi! I really loved your game and I'm sure it's gonna be a success once it's done :)

I have an issue with achievement.. How to get music 2?

Hello I've been waiting for the full game since the first demo! :D I love your concept, art and plot! May I know when to expect the full outcome? I can't wait for it to be finished! Much love. xx

I love this demo! I'm so excited for the full release and i loved your other game A2, i can't wait to see what your next project after this will be. I have a few questions: Will this be on steam at all? Will this be a pay-what-you-want like the other game? Thanks for reading this and everyone on your team did a great job with everything!

I just found this again! I remember playing this games original demo a long time ago. In fact I still have it. It is just as good as I remembered and I am glad to see it is still being worked on.  :D

Hi! I finished the demo recently and thought why not drop by and leave some feedback while I am at it :) 

It was an absolutely amazing experience so far! I remember playing the first demo many many years ago, ok maybe not so many :D But it’s been a while. As I play a lot of vns, they tend to slip from the memory or turn into one big otoge salad, well not this one. And I could lie and pretend this persistent memory of mine had nothing to do with the hot grumpy sorcerer, but... it definitely was more than just that, honest! :D Anyway, it was a huge surprise to discover this new and shiny demo . Even bigger so when I finally decided not to wait and give it a go. 

It is truly fantastic what you turned it into! The game looks beautiful, backgrounds and sprites fit really well together (and they are so pretty). And I never imagined that animations would be that good, it’s such a high quality work. One can feel the amount of love and attention that went into it. 

All things (and visual candies) considered, what impressed me the most was the writing. It didn’t have a dull moment, not even for a bit. It was always quick paced and consistent, and very very entertaining. A lot of compliments for making narrative react on choices. Uhh it was so good I couldn’t stop messing around, experimenting with MC’s good vs evil. Funny moments were very funny, more serious/sad ones fit in just perfectly. I generally prefer the games that have an interesting plot going on, rather than purely concentrate on romance. Here the danger of turning into a lobster is real and probably not even the worst outcome.

Sorry if I am ranting too much, I am genuinely excited. Not to make it too long and tiresome, I will now write a little bit about characters and wrap it all up xD.

Protagonist

She was great! In fact she was the best. And I know it is the matter of preference, but it is just so nice to finally experience a story that is concentrated on the main heroine. She has a character, she has potential for growth, and it helps to build the chemistry between her and everybody involved so much better! I loved her in all her possible variations, I think I prefer a slightly meaner version though >:D

The Sorcerer

Oh the sorcerer, he got me. He really got me. Such a delightful grump, very teas-able. I like the dynamics of what’s going on between him and the MC. And “old man” was hilarious. As was everything else in almost every scene with him. I am still theorising about his connection to the mermaids and suspiciously deep knowledge of basically everything. Yes, very suspicious.  

Mikali

He is very sweet, but not too sweet. I have a tendency to leave good guys for later, but no matter what he was interesting and grew on me. Also he should wear this gorgeous princely outfits more often. It is not an actual request xD But damn boy! I have to admit he really surprised me with the type of MC he prefered, most unexpected, but very fitting when I think about it.

Malik

Okay, so here goes my biggest surprise. I really didn’t know what to expect of him, I had hopes and maybe some fears too. Sadistic and evil characters are my guilty pleasure, but in vns they happen to be a turn off more often than not. And it is kind of a bummer. So I was afraid he will end up being one of those jerks, that love to call the MC “stupid woman”, while manhandling her for his own delight. You probably know the drill, it is not very enjoyable. And I was very very happy to be wrong.

So I am slowly moving to the point where I just applaud and send my loudest fingerling squees in your direction for writing it so freaking good! It was sooo freaking good! It is everything I always wanted from a character like that, no actually it’s more! Their chemistry, MCs responses and the way they both  really enjoyed the interaction  was magical! I think I was crying from happiness at some point. Also it was very very hot :D I want more and I really really need it!

Jack

I loved Jack. he was funny and cute and always there for the MC. And by this I mean he was always there to cause trouble. I think they share almost bro-like connection. And I feel very guilty every time she hits him. Really want to comfort poor Jack. 

Mimi

She was nice. And she surprised me too. I would love to see more of the bonding in the underwater route. Also I know how it feels to be constantly worried, Mimi, I feel you girl.

Ceto

This lady is gorgeous, I hope we get more of her in the full game. She seems very powerful and I dig her design. I would even play a route like that to be fair, but I am just saying ;D She probably would not approve anyway.

Overall I find GUI easy to navigate, all menu functions were easy to find and a lot of save slots are always a welcome feature. I am extra happy that there are no right or wrong choices and no need to please the guy with the answer constantly. Freedom feels good :). I found the music pleasant as well. I only played with the english voice acting so far, they do sound nice. I think I love Jack’s and Sorcerer’s voices the most. It’s not a big deal but the quality of the sound itself sometimes seemed a bit inconsistent, like there is subtle additional background noise. It wasn’t very noticeable and didn’t ruin the experience. The acting part felt natural though. 

I don’t know if you are interested in feedback to the story and scenes, there were a couple moments that were a bit confusing for me, but it wasn’t a deal breaker or anything serious. I can always write more on that, so let me know if you would be interested in a feedback like that. I am afraid that I am writing too much already and it will end up being a total bore.

I am so looking forward to see a complete game one day. It has enormous  potential. And ok I might be a bit biased, cause the game never stopped surprising me in the best way possible, but it is already one of the best vns I played. And I definitely would support this project on Kickstarter or other platform of choice, when the time comes. Thank you for all the wonderful time I had with this demo <3

Hi there! So! I've finished the demo a few moments ago and filled the survey, but I thought - "why not comment here too". Of course, I won't repeat everything I said there, but still! And you should know from the survey that it was me - I've left my e-mail, and it's similar to my username here!

So yeah, what to say... The demo was soooo good! I was excited about the game before, when I stumbled upon it on Lemmasoft, a while ago, but oh my, now it's on a whole different level. I didn't realize it'll have so much features, like the possibility to choose a japanese voice acting (I'm a sucker for that!), the detailed animations, the elaborate karma system. It was such a treat! I just wish it had the beginning of Malik's route too but oh well, I guess we can't get everything, right? Haha, anyway!

My answers to the survey were quite complete, so I guess I'll focus on the MC and the karma system here. To begin with, the MC is great. I honestly think she's crazy sometimes, buuut that's not a bad thing, I guess XD. Still, I really like how she's such a fighter and rebel. Well, she's a pirate after all! Now, I won't tell you what lots of people would tell - I'm not bored of nice, shy and/or clumsy otome heroines. They can be cute and very interesting - it all depends of the writing, and a cute and gentle girl shouldn't be considered less interesting than a "strong and independent woman". What bores me is when the MC is "only cute and gentle" with nothing going on besides of that, and in the same way I hate MCs that are "only strong and independent" - it's just as uninteresting.  The captain is great because she's a "real living character" that happens to be strong and independent, instead of a living trope of strong and independent women with no soul whatsoever haha! Do I even make sense here? X'D

Anyway, what I really love is that not only she's great, but the karma system really allows you to polish her behavior and ways to approach life in general. I tend to play nice in games that have a morality system, but in this case I'm surprisingly neutral, even though I inch towards the nice side. Basically, it seems I tend to be nice overall, but never let anyone try to get the upper hand on her or anything like that, so she may quickly either ignore the person or fight back, depending on the situation. Not only I think that suits her very well, but it seems to be the perfect approach for Malik's route (he's my favorite character and the route I want to play is his), since he seems pretty happy and excited when she fights with him, but at the same time since I don't play her as a bad person, she still has positive karma even despite of that (I don't really want to be evil either). I'll hope I'll manage to keep the balance or be in the positive in the full game, even while staying on his route - I guess I'll see. 

I must say I can't get over the fight the captain and Malik had in the palace. It was then that I've decided they're both nuts XD. Though honestly, the scene was great, aside of being quite hillarious at moments. The excitement building so fast between the two of them and the way neither of them wanted to let the other one win even for a second was awesome. The captain was thinking about how her heart was racing and about how strong her feelings and will to fight were at that moment, and all these emotions were conveyed all along the scene sooo well thanks to the writing. Even if Malik were not my favorite character by far, after that scene (well, at least if fighting back and not letting him win) I would have been convinced they were the perfect match for each other. But since he's my favorite anyway that makes me... double-convinced, I guess? XD

So yeah, I guess I went on for long enough, especially after already clearing the survey haha! So I think I'll stop now, but in any case, good luck with the game! It's great, and I'm sure it'll become more and more awesome!

it's a great game! The concept is great and the protagonist is hilarious!! Quality soundtrack and voice acting that'll make you want more! I can't wait for the full version already aahhhh!!  

Just finished your lovely demo and I honestly have nothing but good things to say about it! For a demo it is beautifully polished and the music is so wonderful, especially the intro theme! I'd say I'm a "veteran" visual novel player and I can definitely see this game becoming one of my most liked. I also really enjoy the fact that you guys work so hard on this even though you do have lives with jobs and such.

Keep up the wonderful work, I cannot wait for another update!

I dreamt of mermaids all night after playing your amazing demo ;) Feelt the need to register to tell you that xD Also love your what if answers at tumblr)

Can't wait for the full game!

so is this just a demo? where's the full game? or is this a game that has to wait for updates? I already bought it but I just kinda wanna know if this will keep on.

just listened to the voice cast, they're so hot, I think I might get heatstroke!   X3 X3 X3 X3 

(before playing demo)  I think my favorite will be Malik. his voice is the best one. (they all fit the characters perfectly, I just like Malik's the best XD)

Oh man, just finished playing through the entire demo, including all three routes! Also finished writing the longest survey response of all time... oops. So I won't regurgitate any of that here. That said, I'd originally planned on waiting for the full game release because I'm a completionist at heart, but I was lured in anyways. I totally regret it because now I am desperate to get more of these characters' amazing development and backstories, but I also don't regret it because this demo was incredible! The artwork was gorgeous and the writing was excellent. I found myself really loving all the characters-- the MC is amazing and sassy, and I love her banter with the parrot; I'm very much drawn to the Sorcerer's broodiness and secrets, as well as Malik's mischief and wickedness. However, even Mikali, whom I didn't expect to like at all, had hidden depths. I seriously cannot wait for more and hope we get a full release soon.  It's incredible how much detail you've put into this game, from the animations to adorable chibi sequences to the incredible story log and karma/affection meter framework, and all of that attention really shows in the way this game plays! 

I really enjoyed the demo and can' wait for the full game to come out. I have to say that my favorite character is definitely Malik, from what little interaction we have with him at the party that he's more than just a bully who enjoys having someone stand up to him, I'm truly looking forward to finding out his full story and what exactly Mikali did to him that makes him nervous around him. I am having trouble getting the "You're a Star" achievement, specifically with the 100% on the Sea Scenes #3 and #4, I read a previous comment and that scene was one of the first I unlocked for #4, and for the Land Scenes #4, #5 and #8, I feel like I've done all possible combinations plus Karma and still haven't unlocked the new scenes yet. Anyway, so excited for the full game and I would definitely donate through Patreon or other such website if you decide to go down that route.

Hey, I've been trying to 100% the scenes but I can't figure out how to get scene #4 in the sea path. I've tried every  combination and I've tried to do what was suggested in a past comment but I still can't get it. Any help?

haven't gotten anything new since late August 2021, getting worried
