Great work! One of the more stunning jam entries, all of the characters, set pieces, and story beats all serve this wonderful mashup of mythology and modern-day. Each of the games felt interesting, on theme, and all of the central mysteries of the game had well-defined answers by the end. The central romance (at least in my Yanxu route) is very well-written and believable, and has also made me reflect on other queer romances from my own past. Bravo!
Absolutely beautiful visuals and effects, an intriguing and spooky premise, and properly horrifying monsters--incredible work all around!
The use of camerawork in this game is incredible! The trials were interesting and the storyline was strong! Good work!
This game is awesome the sprites are moving and love the cinematography, it's still crazy to me that everyone manage to do this in month, you guys are awesome. I love the characters everyone is cute and gay.
Love some of the camerawork and cinematography you used in this VN. I can tell you've read a lot of VNs because some of the shots you used are utterly breathtaking: like the opening scene, the cut-ins with Eleven announcing the status of each survival game, and the panning up to the starry night sky.
I also can't stop thinking about the trials you created for Hailu and the other dead participants. They're legitimately frightening at times: I was jumpscared by the sudden appearance of a hungry ghost when Mimi and Hailu were running through the seventh floor in the third trial.
All in all, thanks for creating such a great work!
Thank you so much for playing Mado! The scene you mention for the monster animation under the third trial is one of my favorite monster appearances; our programmer Justinn did a wonderful job animating it within the space!
I was really impressed by this! The sprites and CGs look great, but I was really impressed by the monsters and how they were animated. It was very startling to see at first, and it was really cool looking. The story was also really good; I did Mimi's route first, and I felt it was so touching seeing the protagonist slowly reconnect with her. Despite how tense the trials got (especially that last one!), there was such a tender feeling between them.
In short, I loved it, and your team did an amazing job putting this all together! You managed to make something both scary and intense while also leaving enough space for heartwarming romance.
Thank you very much for playing, we're so glad you enjoyed the story!
Thank you so much for playing, Air! I'm honored to receive your praise on my monsters! You can extend the compliment to our incredible programmer Justinn for bringing them to life.
OMG this game is so pretty! The arts, characters, backgrounds, cgs, especially the monsters! I'm glad I didn't play it late at night! They're so scary! Especially with the movement! (≧﹏ ≦)
The camerawork really brings everything to life and the music set the mood of every scene. Very nice. Great job!
Thank you for playing and for your compliment on the art, cinematography and music ✩ !
Thank you for playing TFPIS, Ei! I'm happy you enjoyed my lovely monster designs ( ￣▽￣)
I'm at a loss for words.
This was absolutely phenomenal in every single possible way one could imagine. I cannot express enough how much love, care, attention to detail was poured into this game. This is one of the most breathtaking experiences I've ever had, be it with a free game, a paid game, a jam game, any game in general.
Every moment was stunning, powerful, heartwarming, wholesome, tense, incredible. I don't know if I even have the words to actually make this review. This is genuinely the single most powerful game I played so far in this jam and, by a few trillion miles, the best one. If it was up to me, I would pay 60 dollars for this game, even considering it's length.
Every scenario, strike of the brush, character design, story moment was insanely well made, terrifyingly well written and cozy to a degree which is rarely seen in media, let alone games.
I simply do not have the vocabulary to express how much I fucking loved it.
I'm kinda proud to even be in the same jam as this one.
Phenomenal. Just incredible. I actually cried. I will remember this game years down the line, and this is possibly one of my favorite games, maybe ever. I don't know what it even had to ressonate with me so much. Please, let the team that made this game continue making games. I will play every single one of them.
I am extremely moved by your generous and overflowing praise. It was relayed to our team and we are beyond ecstatic to hear you enjoyed TFPIS. Thank you so much for taking the time to play and for leaving such a lovely review; it certainly made my night!!
Your review made my day, I'm overjoyed to hear that you liked our work so much! This certainly motivates me to keep working harder and do even better as an artist and visual storyteller. If I can help give even one experience like yours, it makes our work so meaningful and beautiful. Thank you for playing! <3
The designs were breathtaking ! Fan of the backgrounds too, could use them as wallpaper !
Thank you so much for playing <3 that's a huge compliment. we're all glad you enjoyed our work!
