The game is fun! I'm a long-time RPG Maker game player, so I really love an otome game in this style!

By the way, I noticed that there's a bunch of weird mapping issues. I can walk on the walls on the church???

Sometimes, the furniture disappear from Ciel's room:

Also when I exit the bedroom, instead of appearing at the door, I was sent to the middle of the hallway. That is not a problem, but it just seems weird.

And I forgot to take screenshots but sometimes I can walk off the sides of the stairs in the castle (when there's no handrails). I think there's passability mode mistakes.

Anyway, I like the art and the game. The plot seems nice so far. I can't help but wonder why she can't just say "I lost my memory after waking up" ahaha, maybe it would've helped her not have to play pretend. But I look forward to future updates.

PS: Are you guys from Indo? Singapore? Somewhere else in the South East Asia region? Or at least the player character is kinda from that area-ish? Since Ciel/Player said they're from the tropics... and sees fried rice a lot :P

hey there! Thanks for trying out our demo and posting such a long comment! We appreciate it!

With regards to the errors you pointed out, this demo is actually pretty outdated bc I ended up changing a lot of the maps ahaha. Eventually when we release the new version I will make sure to check the passability properly and will definitely double check the problems you’ve pointed out! also it seems like we’ve also managed to fix that bug in ciels room where the furniture disappears so don’t worry too much about that for now :D sadly we can’t reupload bc we’re still in the process of changing stuff and it’s not time yet.

also OMG regarding the transportation error... I actually uploaded a buggy copy by accident and in that period of time before it was replaced just one person downloaded it!! I guess that person was you T_T so sorry about that I hope it wasn’t too much of an annoyance

Lastly regarding the memory loss point: we’ve already taken this plot hole into consideration and are in the process of modifying some scenes to make it more obvious why she didn’t want to say that initially so HOPEFULLY her thought process will be justified by the time that we’re done! All in all we’re glad to hear you enjoy the concept of our game despite the bugs and we hope you will continue to support our project down the line :))

p.s: yes we are from Singapore I was so shocked that someone actually managed to figure that out 😱 I assume you’re from Indonesia cos you put that first? If so, nice to meet you fellow southeast Asian!

Oh, I see. The demo is old/buggy :O The teleportation weirdness is not a big deal. And all the mapping errors mostly just looks strange, but not an issue with gameplay. The game/story itself is mostly fine :D Although I did think the maps feels too big/wide? I had to activate the dash mode because walking around takes too long >_<

I like all the artwork. The comic-style scenes are amazing. And when you use the animation effects on them, it makes it even more "alive". It's amazing the stuff you can do with RPG Maker these days LOL. The last time I tried using it was the Rpg Maker VX era (a decade ago!!)

Also, yes, I'm from Indonesia XD I clicked the fire place and Ciel/Player said she's from somewhere that is summer all year long. Not to mention the fried rice reminding her of home, ahahaha. Sounds like the SEA area, though I just made a wild guess about the country. I was a little unsure too. Like what if that's just the character talking, and it has nothing to do with you (the creator)? XD

Oh yeah I do think the maps are pretty big but I thought it was necessary to convey the size of certain locations (shopping district housing district and castle especially!) I also switch on dash mode permanently lol >< I’m really glad you like the artwork! Though even that is going to be revamped cos I think I’ve improved from then. I hope you’ll still enjoy my newer versions :)

it’s super cool that you’re from SEA too! Surprisingly there are quite a lot of otome fans in the SEA region on the internet in general but I don’t rlly know many personally in Singapore, so it’s nice to know one of our players are from around here too :D Ciel’s home country is meant to be left vague so any player can imagine where she’s from but we couldn’t resist putting in some form of reference HAHA
