auahhhh this is SO GOOD. IT HAS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING I WANT IN AN OTOME?!
love how you can shape MC's personality over time, as well as shape both Cove's personality and appearance (art is GORGEOUS btw). i replayed the demo multiple times and had Cove's appearance change 4 times!
i love the slice of life tone and feel. felt fluttery warm feelings and doses of nostalgia when playing :)
aARggh the wait is gonna destroy me!! i eagerly await the kickstarter so i can back this ASAP
In Step 2 Cove has two hairstyles, two shirts, two glasses + no glasses option, one necklace + no necklace option. Those are all possible in the demo. Having various combinations of the different hairs, shirts, and accessories are probably what's being counted as four different looks. But it is right that there are only two shirts (the blue one and red one). He also has two pants, two left bracelets + no left bracelet option, and 1 right bracelet + no right bracelet option. Those can't be seen in the current demo, though.
yup, what GBPatch said is correct! i'm just counting the accessories as additional appearance changes (for example having glasses with the red shirt, no glasses for the red shirt, having no glasses a different hairstyle and a necklace with the red shirt, messy hair and blue shirt, etc.) AND (cuz i keep replaying the demo lmao... i'm obsessed) i realized he replies differently in step 2 based on whether u went from friends -> crush or if you went from crush -> crush etc. (tbh idk what causes him to say stuff differently, since both times it said he developed to be quieter but he seemed nervous in one and casual in the other)
Haha, I'm glad it's worth replaying! Cove as a person consists of multiple different parts that are determined separately and all combine together to create who he is overall. Cove's current relationship with the MC and his past relationship with the MC get put together to form a dynamic. If they've been crushing on each other for years he's comfortable with those feelings, if this is a newer development he's much less sure of himself. The quiet part of his personality that you got doesn't come up in the demo, since he has so few lines. But you will start to see it once we expand the demo on the launch of the Kickstarter :D
[This somehow got posted twice, so I deleted the other comment, aha]
