Cute game! The voice work was great and the artwork was good, too. Dario and Jaiden were my favorites. It's sad that this project was dropped, but thank you for sharing what you have! :)
Dawg I was so into it and then I realized it's cancelled. I want to shrivel up and cry dramatically, this was so good! I hope they pick it back up some day!
This is rather disappointing... I was definitely looking forward to this game's completion. The concept was refreshing; the art, an unorthodox, charming style that captivates hearts; and the character voices, well-acquainted with their personalities. Truly such a shame that this will be discontinued.
We appreciate the notice, and the reason, albeit brief, is valid. Health and happiness is of the utmost importance and priority. I do hope that one day you reveal a much clearer explanation for the cancellation, as little to none of us will get sound closure from this.
Thank you very much for your work so far, keep in mind that nothing ever goes as planned, or right, for the first few attempts. No one must be more disappointed and frustrated than you, the creators themselves... Good luck and all the best for your future projects! May they be more successful than the last.
Noooo, I've been wanting to play a victorian otome game, there's barely any in the market... Can't they sell their game to another visual novel company? The game is too good to be canceled.
Kind of disappointing this got cancelled... especially since some people have been waiting a long time and others have donated their money. Forgive and forget I guess
The game promises to be brilliant, I can not wait for the full version. Do you plan to translate the game into other languages (for example Polish)? If you lacked translators, write me so I will be happy to help you ♥
I'm really looking forward to an extended version of this!
You've got a relatable protagonist and great characters, along with beautiful art. What else could you ask for?
My favourite part of the demo is probably the interactions between MC and the characters. She says something slightly awkward - they respond like a normal human would. The fact that they're able to read the mood makes it all seem more realistic than your average dating sim, I think. They all also seem to have their own lives and emotions and don't just fawn over MC and how beautiful she is. Thanks for bringing more reality into the dreamlike world of dating sims! :D
I attached a comment to a rating but I'm still pretty new to how itch.io works so I wanted to expand on it here anyway! Especially since I've actually been following this game for a while so I was excited to play the demo SO
The voice acting is great!! I always really look forward to voice acting in dating sims but of course that usually only applies to Japanese translated games but I was /ecstatic/ that this game is fully voiced! The only thing that I suppose would be a downside is that a couple of the voices felt like they weren't as clear of a recording as I would've liked? Although the voices themselves were beautiful. (And maybe more variety with the direction? The guy's accents weren't as strongly different as I think it could've been but it's really not a big deal). Tbh it's so rare to have such nice english voice acting I'm already in love with them and gonna be following their VA's;; I wasn't sure how I was going to take the protag being voiced but the acting is so nice and the script for her is very funny and likable that I ended up enjoying it a lot.
WHICH is another thing-I love how refreshing and fun the protag is. The moment she was eyeballin Fabian I was having a good laugh at how relatable that is. There's also other times like her casually finding a reason to talk longer with the guys that feels /so good/ compared to playing the usual softspoken demure type girls in Japanese VNs.
I'm also super impressed with just how many guys there are! Just when I thought I had met all the main cast, two more (extremely nice sounding and handsome and interesting) men showed up. Each of them seem to have their own quirks and has definitely piqued my interest-I can easily see myself playing through all their routes. (Though I'll be honest-Im most looking forward to Dario personally. I'm weak for glasses and he seems antisocial/shut in almost?? same Dario please I'd also love to live in a house away from town. Jaiden is also super cute and relatable)
And the art is beautiful as well!! All the sprites are so crisp and smooth and colorful and the eyes are gorgeous. I especially love how the curled locks are drawn and the lip coloring? One small nitpicky thing I noticed tho-the whites of the protag's sprite when she's looking away don't seem to follow her irises. I wasn't sure if this happened with a couple of the other sprites or not and it's like...just a super nitpicky thing I noticed is all.
Overall the story and setting seem really cute~! The atmosphere feels very nice and comfortable and I /really/ can't wait to see the final game! I'm overall super excited to continue watching development and will be more than happy to pay some good money for when this does come out. I wish yall the best with the project!
I’m sorry if this has been asked before but is there an estimation on when the full game will be released? And will you release a walkthrough with the release of the full game?
Heya! We can't give an accurate estimation of the price since we're still in development and we're going to decide on things like that later on. But we're well aware of the age of our demographic and we would'nt want to sell a product y'all can't afford.
Beautiful demo, i cant wait for the full game! I wish there was more dating sims in this time period. Do you think you'll be uploading it to steam at all ?
Thanks for playing! And we totally agree. The victorian age is such a lovely time period. Would love to play more games with this setting too. We've already decided very early in development that we're going to publish it on steam too. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask ^^

This is an old demo for a game that, sadly, was discontinued. However, doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the demo for Valentine's 2023!

oh my goddddd </3 i'm so fkn sad that this got cancelled.
Gahh, the art style is so good and I love MC's personality! It's pretty sad to find out this got abandoned, but I enjoyed the concept of it! ( ´ ω ` )
Man I really liked the concept and artsyle in this! So sad it was dropped...
fear of becoming an old spinster? same girl same

Another true agony is when you find this gem of a demo just recently but then the project was cancelled long time ago...
i was in love w all of them and found out it's cancelled i'm done w life
it's always the best projects that get cancelled
I just played this and loved it and now I'm seeing that the project is cancelled... Really disappointing. This was really great quality.

Yeah :( I checked their blog https://saku-baka.tumblr.com/ I wish they would state that on here.... Really bummed ;;
Ahhhhhh, I'm so sad. (T-T) The game has (or should I say had?) great potential... thanks 4 informing me. Now I shall suffer in silence. (;-;)

Honestly, all my hopes, crushed so fast...
Yeah I was so disappointing. I've been looking at this project once a month and to see it canceled is so disappointing.

Any news about the game? Can't find it. Last ones are from Feb. o-o

No problem
