absolutely LOVE the demo!! the story is so great i was at the edge of my seat until the demo over screen appeared ;-; really excited for the full game!! i esp love the pronoun choosing and that the appearance is not limited! as a trans man who is comfortable in his femininity i got sparks of happiness seeing the more feminin form being addressed in masculine ways <3 looking forwards to ur work!!
This was so fun!! The adult humour was hilarious and it's often not seen in otome games! The map was INCREDIBLE. I also really appreciated that your pronouns weren't dictated by the appearance you chose. I can't wait to see the full release!
I was scrolling through the new otome submissions and I immediately recognized the style from Lingering, I haven't finished it yet but I played your two first VNs and I'm glad to see you're still making games!! I'll make sure to keep an eye on this
Absolutely loved it! First visual novel I've played where I genuinely laughed, loving the adult humour too.
I'm definitely going for Thane something about his boyish charm spoke to me, as where look wise I'm more into Arshem and keen to explore his "Daddy Issues"
You know something is good when your heartbreaks slightly when you see END OF DEMO
The art is really top-notch, not mention the plot! You build a whole new world and make it so interesting! I feel like I'm reading a manhwa. <3 Besides feartures that I favor (wandering around listening to all gossips and make it a discusstion topic, date and get to touch our date), I surprisingly don't feel anything toward the guys? They are gorgeous, that's unquestionable, but we are lacking interactions and meaningful encounters to get to know or feel anything I guess? XD and I would like their reactions (including the MC) to get described as much details as possible. I think your strong point lies with active conversations, and they feel natural, but the lacking of inner thought and reactions makes the encounter not as emotional as I hope.
Thank u for the compliments and input. Totally agree on the latter half of ur comment cuz I admit I lack emotional description (because im dead inside) but in all seriousness, I get what u mean since my day job is as a manhwa scriptwriter and I used to be a video ad scriptwriter/social media copywriter. Hence, I write ok-ish dialogue, but shitty thought descriptions or write none at all lol.
Don't know if that aspect will be better in the full game, but it's something I do plan and try to take note of when writing the game atm ^ ^
please make a kickstarter of this game this is one of the best otome games ever and quick question about the 15 bucks tier is their any beta ongoing?? sorry last question and will the full version ever be on steam
Hello thank you for trying my demo! I don't plan on a Kickstarter as I currently don't have a credit card, and am not in the Kickstarter areas (I live in Indonesia).
Also the scheduled next beta should be done at the end of March so if you are interested in that tier, please consider becoming a patron in April or so ^ ^.
The full version will be on steam and itch.io ! Hope that answers everything!
hi! while playing i realized that azreal the potions teacher is the same character in cupid. are bewitching sinners and cupid worlds in the same universe? :)
WOW!!! I just finished playing the demo and it's so good!!!!!!!It has BEAUTIFUL graphics, characters, and a very interesting plot twist at the end! I think this is actually one of my favorite demos so far! I'm interested in what the full game will be like!!!
The game looks absolutely gorgeous and I loved the demo! Looking forward to future updates!
I have a few questions. I'm asking just out of curiosity, not making any demands or suggestions, haha. You've already said the stats work more as a personality indicator, which is really nice. Will there be additional stats for mc's skills or knowledge? Will there be quick time events/minigames other than fishing? Also... Will it be sfw or are there nsfw scenes?
I see :) I hope the creation process is going well! Definitely looking forward to the release and will consider supporting you when I get more money. Thank you for answering!
And what about the guys? Will they chase us and bribe us with gifts? I hope at some point they will too start trying to win us over. I don't want to spend all the game like on a hamster wheel running from one job to another to save money and buy gifts for the guys who don't care to give anything back.
Don't worry, they'll definitely pay back your kindness and attention. Otherwise that's not a relationship and just plain ol being used. Tho you mentioning this suddenly reminds me how one sided gift giving in harvest moon/most games with dating elements are haha.
I also wanted to ask how much exactly of stat raising will be in the game? I am a big fan of romance but I'm not very good at stat raising since I find it so repetitive. (I don't mean to offend you with my question)
No worries, I don't take offense at all. The stat raising is only minor as it's more of a tracker of your mc's personality due to your choices. The system is more akin to until dawn and those dark picture games where your choices change your stat, but you don't actively need to do anything beside choosing your answer to change them.
The plan right now is that those stats will more effect how others react to you and some events. Such if you have a high curiosity, the mc will mimic that in dialogue n available choices. This goes for other stats too ^ ^
It's still in the works tho n I'm a solo dev with an office job so we will see if I can pull this system off or not > <
I see. Most of the romance and dialogues will be shown more in the extended demo, since this demo is more oriented to the mechanics and all gameplay features. Thanks 4 giving it a shot though!
Thank you for making this game! Definitely interested to see where the story goes and please also know that as someone who is NB, your effort to ensure that the game is not gender-locked is very appreciated <3 <3
This is so good! From the concept to the gameplay to the characters, this vn looks truly amazing. We need more vns like this fr!! I'll def be keeping up with the development. <333
Super interesting demo - consider me intrigued! If you ever do a Kickstarter, I will definitely back it. :D
There are a few minor typos/grammar issues, but overall this is such a well written game, with beautiful art, and vivid characters. Looking forward to the full game!
Now I’m off to investigate the other games you’ve made. ;)
Thank you, I only have a patreon and Kofi and won't be making a kickstarter. But if you would like to consider helping in this game's completion please check those out ^ ^
This is such an amazing demo so far! I've been a fan of your work since you did Freakquency years ago, and it's so amazing to see how far you've come from back then to now! :D
I'm excited to see this get finished (and will gladly throw money at you now that I'm older and have a job). Sending you all the best of wishes and luck! And please continue to take care of yourself, too.
Because I love this game, I uploaded a video of the game on a video site in China. It has now exceeded 14,000 views. We are all curious to know if the official version will be in different languages?
（we need chineseXD）
thank you，and here is the link if you want to see it ;)
Jesus fucking satan this is the literal best thing I've read/played ever, and if you could see my history you'd want to be further than me then the earth can provide. I love this and want the full game so bad now.
Three words to describe how I feel about this game; LOVE IT SM. The premise of the game is very fun and I love the art style and ambient style of everything. Ok, let's not rush and start slowly. First off, the impressive introduction and amount of plot given to us in the very beginning are quite amazing and so cool. The immediate drama of a wedding being called off, a woman's head being sliced, and a whole-ass battle fantasy sequence popping off like it's SUCH A GOOD START ALREADY?!? Not to mention it hasn't even been the very start yet and we're already thrown into another plot where we have not one - but TWO main characters albeit the other is in a coma but wtv.
Since I chose the male option of the characters (he was hot so stop), it was pretty cool to see how scrumptious he looked. Matter-of-fact, everyone looks so hawt, pretty, and slay in this entire demo. The extra comic panels of witchery and stuff are so amazing it astounds me how it was even a demo. The entire concept of the fantasy school hasn't been widely discussed yet but it's still a demo so there must be more to it. The whole Ivar and 4 grand witches is a good way of lengthening the plot and duration for us to not only learn more about the world but also start dating one of the 4 dudes. I love their little interactions and various side quests to do like freaking finding a cat. It adds a sense of enjoyment and fun to the serious "find out what's going on" main plot.
Onto the characters themselves, they aren't widely known in detail yet cuz, duh, still a demo but I kind of get the baseline of their whole personality trope and thing. Fia is the supportive, bad bitch, yet potty-mouthed sister that's just a girl boss. Thane is the chill, cool, and maybe shy vampire dude that's taking a liking to our protagonist's blood which can be a hint to future plot twists. Arshem is our ex-boyfriend, idk how that happened tbh, he's probably an asshole, an A+ student, and a cunning guy which is why I like and hate him because he's just hmm something about his character questions me. Lyall...hmmm, we haven't really talked with him but I sure am loving the character he has going as Ivar's son that was birthed from his sperm donation. Thank god he didn't turn into one of those flower-head people because I know it looks pretty but we would have never seen his puppy face. AND Quill, our supposed bestie who's teased to be a bottom, very quirky, and mischievous. And since he was teased to have a somewhat dark secret about having been the actual one to knock out the original Palmier and also knocking out our human Palmier because idk, probs are revealed in the actual game BUT STILL, I love him and his queerness.
Overall, I can't wait for the actual game to be released because I am sure as hell playing it. The demo is very cool and achieves the goal of enticing people to play the actual game and serves us nothing but top-tier content that makes us want more later on. SAVE THIS GAME IN YALL'S COLLECTION AND STAN THE PALMIER TWINS!! <33 Oh and this deserves an INFINITY/10
Deeply surprised and delighted by the amount of gameplay elements planned and visualized in the demo. The game goes far beyond the typical scope of a visual novel and extends the genre into more of a lite rpg. Enjoyed having side quests, crafting, exploration, etc, and the bgms were very fun. I was also greatly pleased to see different dialogue from background npcs after events occur and time passes. The conversations and explorations uncover a thoughtful amount of world building.
The sprite art is very pretty, and the use of stills of 3d models (much like in many manhwa) for backgrounds is extremely clever. There are some minor spelling and grammatical errors that did not significantly impact my enjoyment of the demo.
All in all, definitely keeping an eye on this project and strongly encourage others to check it out + support the devs!

please make a kickstarter of this game this is one of the best otome games ever and quick question about the 15 bucks tier is their any beta ongoing?? sorry last question and will the full version ever be on steam
Hello thank you for trying my demo! I don't plan on a Kickstarter as I currently don't have a credit card, and am not in the Kickstarter areas (I live in Indonesia).
Also the scheduled next beta should be done at the end of March so if you are interested in that tier, please consider becoming a patron in April or so ^ ^.

I have a few questions. I'm asking just out of curiosity, not making any demands or suggestions, haha.
You've already said the stats work more as a personality indicator, which is really nice. Will there be additional stats for mc's skills or knowledge?
Will there be quick time events/minigames other than fishing?
Also... Will it be sfw or are there nsfw scenes?
Hi there. I don't plan on there to be aditional skills. Qte is also a no for other gameplay mechanics for now.
For sfw or not, currently it is sfw but if it sells well after release I plan to add downloadable nsfw content ^ ^
I dont plan on nsfw on release since I want it be open for more people.
I see :) I hope the creation process is going well! Definitely looking forward to the release and will consider supporting you when I get more money.
Thank you for answering!
And what about the guys? Will they chase us and bribe us with gifts? I hope at some point they will too start trying to win us over. I don't want to spend all the game like on a hamster wheel running from one job to another to save money and buy gifts for the guys who don't care to give anything back.
Don't worry, they'll definitely pay back your kindness and attention. Otherwise that's not a relationship and just plain ol being used. Tho you mentioning this suddenly reminds me how one sided gift giving in harvest moon/most games with dating elements are haha.
