I haven't been waiting as long as some but I was so excited to play this game. Wonderful distinctive artwork, immersive worldbuilding, intriguing LI's and side characters who are larger than life. Even the way you start the game itself is notable – it's got such immediate impact. The music and sound effects were very well put together, building the atmosphere even more.
Because of the customisation, the range of dialogue choices and the dark fantasy, it feels like you're more influenced by single player RPGs than 'typical' otomes and since I often feel romance is lacking in RPGs even when included, you combined two of my favourite things. My personal favourite LI was Ernol, whose slow-burn into an intense romance gave me all the feels but all of the routes are worth playing. Plus I really appreciated the extra content you put into the Duliae romance if you selected certain actions which answered a few questions – but I won't go into spoilers here.
Essentially this game should not be free. I don't review much. I rave review even less. I hope you take a return trip to Gha'alia one day but I'll keep a lookout for anything you do in the future.
