Really enjoyed the latest build. The animations and poses give the characters a lot of life — idle shifts, reactions, and scene work that make them feel present instead of static. That extra motion is what sold me. Conversations actually feel like you’re standing there with them.
The style is a big part of why it works. The 2D look has its own flavor — warm village interiors, bold character designs, and a Viking setting that doesn’t just feel like a reskin of another dating sim. It has a clear identity.
The cast is the highlight for me. Everyone has a clear personality, and I found myself checking in on them even when I didn’t need to. Seer and Kara are my favorites so far!
The story also landed better than I expected. The opening — waking up on the riverbank and being taken in by the village — gives the whole thing a proper sense of place. Combined with the animation, the style, and the characters, it feels much more alive than a lot of games in this genre. I spent more time exploring and talking than I thought I would. Looking forward to the next update.
