ShellBell.games rated Hummingbird’s Crown

A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

What a fantastic little time-traveling romp!

I honestly adore all the characters and the dynamics. Wren is excellent and super relatable, as are her friends and love interests.

Lonan is an absolute soft sweetheart and I love him and his dumb memes. Galvin I didn't like at all at first, but the payoff when he softened up was perfect, and I actually ended up liking him a lot! (I love me a well done tsundere). I thought for sure Lonan had a secure hold on my heart, but then Galvin gave him a ferocious run for his money and now I just adore both. Honorable mention to Kanaria, she is a fantastic character and excellent best friend. I saw in the devlog that there is talk of making her the MC of her own game, and I would absolutely be interested in that!

I liked the inclusion of the gameplay elements. The shards were neat and I like that it was explained in-game, though it felt like a lot of explanation for a fairly simple mechanic. I also really liked the point and click parts, but it was a little tedious to get the good end after the bad because I would skip past the glowing events, and couldn't scroll back. (Worth it though, I love gameplay in my otomes!)

I love a good time travel mystery/romance, and this definitely hit the spot! I liked the time loop and the way the MC and LIs reacted to it. I do feel like this is a compressed version of a story that could have been much larger - I still have a lot of questions! Would definitely be interested in a third route.
