Very cute characters! Loved dialogues between them. The style is nice, the music is relaxing and fits the game well, and I like the story a lot. I like how it looks a bit like fairy tale (or a fun quest for children), but with serious mood, cause their mom is missing and her letters sound pretty serious.

That's cool that we can interact with the world, I love your attention to details. I enjoyed clicking on everything and reading girls' comments ^^

I especially liked the moment in the museum where we can help two lonely NPCs by suggesting spending time together. And the main plot is intriguing and interesting (though I got stuck after visiting the museum. I guess there's just some bug which doesn't let to use the bus station. Tried to download fixed version cause wanted to see how the story ends, but parent.exe file fails to extract its content properly. It just freezes in the process, hmmm)

Overall, that's an adorable and cool project, enjoyed playing it. Nice work!

It's not ideal that the game comes with a installer, zip files always beat installers. Plus definitely not good if I have to download and install another software just to try the game. The story is interesting and well written, the music is pretty nice too! Congratulations :)

It's an interesting story with a cute aesthetic! Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what to do after the museum--I figured I needed to go to the bus stop again but that didn't work, and I couldn't travel in any other direction or interact with anything else inside. But I really liked where this was going and I think you did a great job putting it together! I may have to try to play more later.

Yeah, we are currently debbuging the game! Soon we will updated it.

Pros

  • Beautiful sprites! Very cute visuals! Every location looked amazing!
  • Very intriguing and engaging plot. Very well written characters.
  • Music was beautiful! Especially the house background music.
  • The town felt very alive!

Cons

  • I fond some bugs. Some tilesets overlapped with the player sprite. Also, in the mother's room, when reading the Aladdin book, the portraits of the characters will morph into the RTP character portraits. However, these are totally understandable and they don't really affect the game.

Overall: beautiful game with amazing music and adorable visuals as well as a really interesting and engaging storyline! Amazing work!

The sprites and the map are adorable, I totally loved both Mina and Nina. Also I enjoyed with the music since it was really calm. Regarding the plot, it's well written as since the beginning the plot of the disappearance of the mother is intriguing. I definitely recommend this game! You only have to download the RTP of RPGMaker VX.
