I really enjoyed this! If I had to pick a favourite it'd be Winnie or Virginia, but they were all excellent.
A minor complaint is a lack of cg viewer, I liked the art and its a shame that there isn't one.
One other thing in the settings if you select skip unseen text, skip after choices, and transitions you cant deselect them. This is only a problem because I get neurotic about dumb things. I fixed this by using the console, Shift+O and typing "preferences.skip_after_choices = False", "preferences.skip_unseen = False" and "preferences.transitions = 2".
Hello! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game! There is actually a way to view the art without text—just press H when playing. Hopefully this works for you! Thank you for letting me know about the settings bug, as well! I haven't patched this game in a while but will make a note if I do in the future.
Loved it. Rarely can one see such consistently good writing throughout all the routes. I mean I have my favorites - Winnie (that toothy smile!) and then Greta a close second - but Meredith's and Virginia's were great as well. Some serious writing chops there. I don't think I have ever felt so motivated to get every ending for every character. So if the author ever feels like writing maybe a light novel, I'd be first to buy ;-)
Just finished my first route and I really enjoyed it. What a lovely game! I really liked the art and the characters, and look forward to seeing the others.
(I did find myself coming across the same stuck skip options bug as another commenter, which didn't resolve itself even after a reload)
Replying to myself (and I suppose, others?) that I managed to easily fix it by opening the in-game dev console XD Truly the only imperfect part of this game, the rest is just so well crafted.
Hello! To my knowledge, no walthrough or guide has been made. However, feel free to send an email to quibblequills@gmail.com if you would like help with a route in particular!
I was so shocked when I was getting close to the end of my first route and the plot development! Hopefully you know what I mean but I don't want to spoil it! I went for Virginia right away.
It should launch when you open the zip file for either Mac or PC, depending on your device. You might have to make sure you allow downloads from third parties in your settings if you're using a Mac. If you're still having trouble, please email quibblequills@gmail.com with screenshots of the issue for further assistance.
I just played through the game for the first time. There's a lot more for me to see, but I can safely declare that cute and comfy and romantic. It's just the tone and level of content I want out of a game like this. The hook (finding love in a school for young women afflicted with magical ailments) is an easy sell but it's the specifics and the execution that really make this title stand out. The art is good, the characters enjoyable, and the situations interesting. I'm looking forward to getting to know the other characters!
I don't really have any negative criticism as such. I'll be adjusting the music volume down a bit on my next play (the default levels are fine, but it's my personal preference) and I'm go to echo a previous comment and say that an ending tracker would be lovely, but the game really doesn't need one. My experience was much more about getting to know and bonding with the characters (my chosen romantic interest in particular, but others, as well, notably the protagonist) and seeing the story as whole play out than trying to get an ending.
Thanks to everyone who worked on the game and its assets and to the backers for helping make it happen!
Thank you so much for the lovely review! It really brightened my day to read it. I'm so glad you enjoyed your first playthrough, and I hope you have just as much fun experiencing the school alongside a new lady/perspective in your next!
Hi there, I was a Kickstarter backer and I'm so happy finishing this game went smoothly for you! I played Greta's route in the full game and it was very sweet :D One issue I'm having is that I selected the "skip" options in the preferences to see what each does and now I cannot deselect them, any advice for fixing this issue? Thank you for making this lovely game!
Skip allows you to bypass any dialogue you have seen. If it gets stuck, I would recommend reloading your save file. If that still does not work, please send an email over to quibblequills@gmail.com and I can try to help you further from there!
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed Winnie's route. The art is done by Teanao and ExitMothership if you would like to check out more of their work :)

A good soundtrack and fantastic sprites too.
Thank you so much for your kind comments, this post absolutely made my day! :) I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!
Hey! Hope you don't mind answering a question of mine, creator! Are the routes romantic in nature?
Hello! Yes, all routes are romantic in nature.
Just finished my first route and I really enjoyed it. What a lovely game! I really liked the art and the characters, and look forward to seeing the others.

how many hours does the game last?
Hello! It largely depends on your reading speed. The game is 80k words/roughly the length of a traditional novel.
I really liked this VN ! I did all the routes, Meredith and Virginia were my favorites !
Hi, is there a guide/walkthrough for this game ?
Thanks

I do! Glad you are enjoying the game, Virginia's route was one of my favorites to write!
Does this game not work on iPad?
Hello, I'm sorry for the late reply to your previous comment. This game is only compatible with Mac and PC at the moment.
how do I start the game?
It should launch when you open the zip file for either Mac or PC, depending on your device. You might have to make sure you allow downloads from third parties in your settings if you're using a Mac. If you're still having trouble, please email quibblequills@gmail.com with screenshots of the issue for further assistance.
I downloaded to an iPad. No setting for ‘allow third party downloads’. ?

This was really cute! I especially liked Winnifred's route, and the art is gorgeous.
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoyed Winnie's route. The art is done by Teanao and ExitMothership if you would like to check out more of their work :)
I would really love it if the game had an endings tracker. Any hope of that happening in the future?
An endings tracker will definitely be considered for a later update if there is enough interest!
Enjoyed the game. The Virginia route especially is so good!
Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed the game :)
