Had it in my list since the past jam so, for this one, it had to be a priority!

Amazing game all along! Not just great taste and skill artwise(art, writting, music, you name it) but great narrative and event chains. Loved the idea of the time loop to get all the details for the different endings, made the game quite interesting to explore around instead of just doing what told! And the option to just go back to the previous attempt was a real timesaver lol

As for the plot, I really liked it! I love when those fairytail style things such as "stealing the stars" are done. And so well put on suspense until the very end!

Such an amazing game!

Finally found the time to play it!

I really loved the necklace-concept with the ending keys. I have recently been thinking about how to make "dead ends" in VN more fun for players.  Turns out, your game solves this perfectly! Such an amazing and creative solution for this that really encourages exploration!

Thank you for making this game! The whole team did amazing! From the visual presentation to the  award winning voice acting and the amazing writing, everything fit perfectly. Absolutely magical!

Thank you for this very kind comment – apologies for the delay in replying, I’m not very well just now and it’s really put the brakes on my online (and VN playing) time!

Anyway – I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the game, and I’m delighted to think that the ‘endings’ mechanic might have given you inspiration for future projects! I wanted an endings screen that could function as a sort of ‘informational flowchart’ but that which would also look pretty and encourage completion, so when I got the idea for the necklace I was quite excited about it (and then Ingthing brought it to life more beautifully than I could have hoped)!

And thank you also for shouting out the team, I was so lucky to be joined by such generous and talented people, and everyone worked really hard.

I’m still really looking forward to checking out your game once I’m better, and congrats again on your Phantasia update!
