Really cool game! i love the visuals and the overall aesthetic and am looking forward to your future projects!
the only thing that confused me was i thought it was supposed to save after going to a different floor but the game didn't save for me. i went through multiple doors and when i closed out and came back it loaded me to the part where you save at the statue at the beginning.
Honestly I agree with your criticisms. I dropped the game because of all the unnecessary stuff thrown in that had nothing to do with the story. I don't want to sound mean or anything because I don't think the game is bad at all but there were parts like you said that probably should have been cut out or removed that drug what otherwise was an interesting story down.
Yeah as a creator I understand. You don't want to try to make something perfect because that's impossible the important thing is just learning and developing from the mistakes you've made and to keep moving forward. And I'm sure I'll enjoy the rest of the game. I'm looking forward to playing the other routes.
Hello I haven't beat the game yet but just wanted to say so far I'm really enjoying it. I'm on Day 11 of Kurato's route. It's not a perfect game, like Tigress said there are some issues with lack of world building or characters accepting some pretty odd things without question.
I feel that the history class with Mr. Blanchett would have been a good oppurtunity to have fixed some of these problems. Maybe you could have had some of the students asking him questions in class about this mysterious demon of the forest so that he could have given us some more background information. Also incorporating more of the village and folklore into the story would have really helped flesh things out. Like having the characters explore more of the village. There was one VN i played where the character read paragraphs from library books that talked about the myths and folklore of the world to try and solve the mystery of what was going on. Doing that really helped flesh out game and gave you more background info. It doesn't have to be a gigantic wall of text or anything like that but just enough where the world feels more real and the player understands whats happening.
Another thing that was a bit off was the lack of contractions. There was a lot of "it is" instead of just it's or "do not is not" instead of just don't or isn't. It made the main character feel a bit unnatural since most people don't really talk like that.
All in all though I'm still enjoying it. I definitely feel that you have a talent with this and that if you keep working towards improving your writing and storytelling that you could create something pretty amazing. I look forward to seeing whatever you have planned in the future :)
I don't know if this game is still in active development or not but I just wanted to say I really really enjoyed the demo. The characters felt real and genuine instead of cliche and boring like in other romance VNs. The art was also super pretty and the atmosphere was really relaxing. With the cellphone it would be pretty interesting if in the full game you could actually use it throughout the game. Like you could call or text the other characters and have random little conversations with them. It would be an interesting thing to add since other VNs don't do things like that.
I absolutely loved this game! The lore was really detailed and thought out and I found myself so interested in learning more about this world. The characters were also refreshingly fleshed out and felt real instead of just generic cliches. I also loved the comedy as well. I usually don't find most games funny since the humor tends to be kinda stupid or crappy but this was actually genuinely funny. I really hope to see more from you guys and I definitely want to buy your other games now when I'm able. I think you guys are my favorite game developers right now. I hope you do more visual novels set in this world with these characters again.
