How dare you guys! Right off the bat you get me attached to this guard character and then break my heart and soul into a million pieces a few seconds later.
Honestly though, this is one of the first games I played here in itch...look at me now! Having an account and posting opinions that the void don't really care about. At first, I was confused on what the hell I was supposed to be doing. It's a good thing, really. I was lost because this game was so different so unique. I've never played a game quite like it.
The MC, for once, isn't the one who has actual royal blood 'destined-to-rule' and all that. The MC's character actually have depth that a lot of these types of games lack.
Then there was the thing where you plan the three's scheds which builds up their powers and stuff. First game I played that didn't make that boring.
There was also the map stuff where you choose which ones to help. I've never played any game that had that. I literally stared at the screen for a couple of minutes before I...hesitantly...clicked anything.
I loved the potions stuff too. Like, a lot of games, you only see the consequences of your actions as you are nearing the end but with this, you can clearly see how your choices affect future events, whether in the long run or not.
All that it's only a demo. I get so caught up in playing that I had to remind myself that when I reached the end, back when this was new. Now I'm back to play it for the nth time. Great job in keeping me here as your game's slave prisoner with a job to play!
