hi, i finished some endings of the game and just wanted to say that i really like it. The atmosphere of the game is portrayed in such a unquiqe way. The music and art is really good too. What also caught my interest is that i read in the tags "yandere" and maybe i am not far enough in the story yet but could you (or anyone) please spoil me who the yandere chara is? thank you in advance!
Hi there! I'm so glad you liked the game so far, your feedback means a lot. As far as the yandere, the game isn't a traditional yandere, however the three main characters (Iris, Seth, The Dust Hunter) are capable of killing their love interest. We used the yandere tag to define this and appeal to people who are interested in darker romance, which is very much Garden of Seif.
*Spoilers below*
There are happy endings, and then there are death endings. Seth may pretend to like you, but he does have an ending where he chooses to kill you.
The Dust Hunter has a killer ending, and there's also an ending where Iris kills him.
Even the killer endings blur the line between enemies and romance, as the love interests (and even the MC) have feelings for the person they are destroying. This is shown the strongest in Seth's killer end.
Hi, I bought this game on Steam and I’m having some issues with the Windows version of the game. The backgrounds in the game keep flickering whenever there are character sprites. I don’t think it’s an issue with my computer because it’s relatively new and I haven’t had similar issues with other games. I’m not sure if anyone else is having similar issues. Thanks for your help with troubleshooting.
First I want to say that Steam has a 2 hour window for you to refund the game, so if you played for more than 2 hours than they won't initiate a refund. I just wanted to let you know before you launch the game again in case we aren't able to solve this. I am not sure what itch.io's policy is for returns, but they may be more lenient.
Now as far as troubleshooting: screen flickering typically occurs due to incompatibility between your system and the game itself. I would need to know more about your PC specs. Garden of Seif can be more graphic heavy than other visual novels due to the cinematic scenes.
I played the game and it was fantastic thank you !! I gasped when I realized some of the twists of the story... 😆
It's rare to have an otome heroine as interesting as the LI, but Iris is such a cool and badass MC too, with her own surprises. I would totally romance her if she'd been one of the RO ! 💍
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I am so glad you enjoyed the twists, we had a fun time writing them.
You are the second person to mention the idea of Iris as a love interest, that's not something we ever thought of before! We have toyed with the idea of adding The Emerald Huntress as an LI for Iris one day.

Hi there,
I am sorry that is happening for you.
First I want to say that Steam has a 2 hour window for you to refund the game, so if you played for more than 2 hours than they won't initiate a refund.

The issue could be your screen refresh rate. If the refresh rate isn't synchronized with your video card, It can cause a flickering image. https://www.coolblue.nl/en/advice/set-up-refresh-rate-monitor.html

The story sounds interesting but the art style isn't my cup of tea.
hi! is the full game available or is the purchase a pre order?
Hi! Yes, the full game is now available. :)
omggggg
oh my gosh happy ending with seth was the best thing ever
Ahh I am so happy you liked it! He technically has two happy endings too, but one of them is a little bit of a surprise :)
oh? do you mean the true end?
There's the true end, and then he has one more happy ending beside that.
