I want to start off by saying that I kickstarted the game when it was open and I'm really pleased with the result! The art is gorgeous and the story is a lot more detailed and in depth than I originally thought it would be, and I thought the characters were all written really well!

I have a few questions though, and I am wondering if an endings page will be added at any point in the future? I'd like to be able to track what endings I have and haven't gotten, and at this point I can't really tell if I've even got the main ending and read the epilogue, or if I've missed something and only read some of the mini endings.

I'd also appreciate a warning on the 18+ scene with Safana in it, because I feel the story suggested it would be a normal sort of 18+ scene, but when I read it... well, I sort of wished I'd had the foresight to know what was going on so I could have skipped it.

I also wish the epilogue had a little bit more interaction with all the characters in it, or at least a final CG with Ellyn and Veros. The ending felt like a bit of a jump from seeing Veros in Lysander's room to "oh we're all home and safe now". I would have liked to have seen the conversation between Ellyn and Veros about what happened and how they got out, and why Ellyn went back for Veros etc... but I understand it's a bit of a time constraint. I'm not really sure if I've missed anything in other endings though, so if I have, that's on me. I'd like to see a patreon or something to see the possibility of more content being included, just to flesh out the romance a bit, but I understand that's not always possible.

I really appreciated the sheer amount of CG's in the game, I was actually shocked at how many we got, especially for a game of this size! they were all really well drawn and you could tell how much work was put into them, which was really nice. The art in general is really gorgeous, and I loved watching all the characters sprites and all the detail in them.

I enjoyed all the characters as well, and I desperately wanted the best for all of them, which made the escape really nerve-wracking! Nobody felt like a background character and everyone was interesting and multi-dimensional, which made it a great read!

Sorry for the long rambling review, I really enjoyed the game, and thank you very much for all the time and effort you put into it! I hope to see great things from you guys in the future too :)

Hi,

This is an amazing review! It tells us about a lot of things in detail and that's really useful. 

I don't want to spoil it to others so I will just say that judging from your post you got the main ending :) 

There is a strong warning before the Safana scene. The text turns stark yellow as it warns the player about the (M/F +18 scene). I think that I should also add a content warning there to make it more clear.

We wish that we had the resources to expand some of the story and graphical elements in Diamond Mirage. One of the Kickstarter support tiers that sadly wasn't reached would allow us to develop separate character routes on top of what's already a 90,000 words long game. 

We do have a Patreon https://www.patreon.com/aedianglair All the support from Patreon helps us make bigger and better games.

We're glad that you enjoyed the game and we will definitely work tirelessly to deliver great games in the future!

Best regards,

Glair

thank you for the response! I’ll definitely make sure to check out your patreon, thank you for letting me know about it!

I was wondering if I had accidentally skim read the warning on the Safana scene, so that could have been a mistake on my behalf, but I do think a content warning would be great! :) 

I’m glad the review was helpful! I was worried I was being too harsh 😅

In case you're curious we might or might not have listened to your suggestion that it should be clearer when an ending is reached and also expanded one of the endings a bit. Feel free to check it out :)
