How does your game fit the Magical Girl Genre?
The player character, Luna, is a witch who begins with the power of telekinesis and can learn new spells as the night goes on, such as a seal to freeze the ghosts, a seal to lure them to a given point of light, and a seal that slows all ghosts that pass over it.
Which theme(s) do you pick?
Phantom Pain
How does your game fit those theme(s)?
There are ghostly entities that are after you throughout the night. The win screen shows how the ghosts are capable of inflicting great suffering on their victims, namely Onyx (Luna's dog). Making contact with one of these shadow ghosts lead to an instant game over.

Salutations!
First of all. Onyx is truly adorable. Thanks for attaching a photo; I didn't know how much I needed it after the ending.
The presentation and art direction are flawless, the animations are stunning, the environment is unsettling and creepy, and the design for Luna is absolutely beautiful.
I think the gameplay is truly polished, and it's fun to play, a little difficult to master ngl, I had to play for a while before getting to finish it.
And of course, the story is so emotional. Just a few words were able to make me cry a bit.
I just had a note from my experience that I would love to share:
Overall, my final thoughts are that this was absolutely beautiful to play. The gameplay was really polished, and the art was precious.
This was a marvelous job.
Firstly, Onyx is adorable haha! The presentation for the game is really lovely I just think the gameplay itself needs a bit of work. I managed to get the enemies stuck at one point and they couldn't chase >.< I liked that you had the two types to change how you engage with them though! The actual controls and movement were all really fluid too :)
Really good effort!
Delightful usage of sound and atmosphere, excellent choices on the artist front. The spells are varied, and they have solid effects. The levitation mechanic is, I think, a bit too clunky to really take advantage here- it takes too long to move anything, limiting its use cases and making it a significant drain on resources. At one point, I just resorted to running in circles, using the levitation spell to move objects out of my way.
Cute! I enjoyed this game a lot. It wasn't clear in game how I could use telekinesis properly, I thought I had to use it to block the doors.
I really liked this! The Luring Seal is definitely the best spell, in my opinion.
