This had a nice, melancholy tone, and I quite liked that it was a story about healing and moving on from pain (at least, the ending that I got was - I have a feeling that there are some endings where you just die!) The illustrations were also very good, and I loved the poem that Safire wrote.

It did feel like the start was a little bumpy - I felt a bit cheated by the opening turning out to be a dream, and throwing in a truck-kun joke gave me a bit of tonal whiplash in contrast with the otherwise gloomy mood of the opening. I might be missing something  that was set up here, but I wonder how the game might have flowed if it had opened with the protagonist arriving at the manor, and the details were filled in later? I was also taken a bit by surprise when they casually revealed that they knew that Safire was a vampire, as well as the later references to monsters being known by the general public.

All that being said though, I'm glad that I played the entirety of this and felt that there was some really personal writing going on in it. I'd happily play a longer game set in the same universe, or even a longer version of this game, going into more details on the characters' backstories and personalities. I was also genuinely taken by surprise when Safire got together with the protagonist, only to leave the next day - it felt very bittersweet, and it was execute well. Thanks for making the game!

Thank you so much for your feedback!

The poem was actually written by the Voice Actress Soli Adna herself. It is so lovely and really captures the emotional high-point of the story.

For this game I had the challenge that people could send me voice acted fragments that I had to incorporate into the story. This is why the start is a little bumpy as I didn't really know how the story would develop. Though I think the other ending (when you report Safire) works a little better with the start. 

The truck-kun joke might not land with everyone but I also didn't want the main character to be disappointed that they were not being hit by a truck without at least some comic relief. For a self-insert char that might be a bit much. I think it still captures the escapism of the MC but I totally appreciate the feedback. Directly starting at the manor would have been a good idea now that I think about it. 

Thank you for playing it!
