Really nice writing here, plus the art and tiles really make it stand out compared to a lot of other RPG Maker games.

Wow the backgrounds and the character art for this was so well done it really sold the experience to me. I was standing in some rooms looking at how pretty the rooms were. 

It really reminded me of game like Yume Nikki so that was a very spooky yet pleasant experience!

Very impressive game. The writing is very good. Although I was stuck in this room. Every single movement just takes me back to the previous room and I can't take the page.

Hello, thanks for giving the game a try! I did a quick playthrough from scratch in a different browser than usual and was unable to replicate the bug you're encountering. You should be able to move forward (W button) without any problems... Hopefully you can try again!

Yes I tried again later and finished the game with no problems. Vety good game btw  I enjoyed it a lot.

I loved how much depth there was to the map, the characters and the story! The music was beautiful to listen to, and it changed at all the right moments. I loved the ending a lot and the contrast between the Fairy and the Investigator's outlook on things! I'm not sure if you all have played those classic rpg maker horror games like Ib or Misao, but this game really filled a void that those older games left me craving! Really good work!

Thanks for trying out the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have indeed played those games, and it's an honour that you consider them similar <3

Thanks a lot for your comment, my friends did their best with the art and I'm really proud of them! I'm glad you gave it a try even if it's not your type of game!

Thanks for trying out the game, that's the inventory menu! You just need to walk and interact with the right shiny points to learn it, and to close it you just need to press C or left click.

Submitted

Interesting premise, nice art, and cool writing style! One small note: I had to press F to interact with items (E didn't seem to work for me).

Developer

Thanks for trying out the game, I'm glad you found it interesting! You can change the buttons in the options menu, so I realised late I had typed them wrong on the game page-- It's been fixed now, but thanks for letting me know!

Submitted

It looks like it would be fun... the graphics are nice and the writing is really superior so far, but I can't get any interactions to work. I keep running into sparkly things but neither E nor any other key or mouse button seems to do anything.

Developer

Hello, thanks for trying out the game! The controls listed on the page were actually wrong: it's F to interact! (I've changed it already, thanks a lot!) You can change the key bindings in the option menú, so I just realized it now… I hope you can enjoy the full experience now!

Submitted

I'll give it another shot, thanks!
