This the best submission I've played from this jam so far. The artwork is impeccable and the song is beautiful. They perfectly fit for what has happened to Gensokyo and to this Marisa's journey.
Thank you for making this story. It has touched my heart.

Good art, good music, and a good read!
I'm not sure how to feel about QTE choices. On one hand it spices things up and it does help show how nervous Marisa is that she can't stay quiet for a few seconds. On the other hand, I really enjoy mauling over what choices to choose and playing the scenario in my head.
The QTE in the True Ending I found was very endearing though!
Overall, this was a nice visual novel to read.
I liked talking to the fairies, finding a book, taking it to Patch and then giving it to said fairies, the game flow feels smooth. The controls for the most part is responsive, I can listen to the music multiple times easy, and the fairies have some amusing quips depending on their score.
It did feel disorientating whenever I was at the 'edge' of the game and then suddenly speeding to the opposite side. The sound effect when you right click a magic book I disliked, maybe it's because of my audio device, but it was agitating when it happened.
Overall though, I like this game!
I love the snowball effect for the nodes when they don't give you many points in the beginning, but as the stats you want to build on grows so does how many points those nodes give. The art style and music are simple and cute which goes well with the fairy-tale theme to the game.
While I do like the music, the stage music doesn't quite have that replay ability that the gameplay has. The randomness of the nodes is what makes the game fun to play again, but I do feel helpless when a path that I thought would be good turns out to be bogged down by coffee/mushroom nodes.
Overall, I enjoyed playing this game!
Hi Yotsubro! The game was a joy to play, but there's some issues I found.
After beating the either boss, replaying and facing the other boss does not unlock the scene in the Story Playback. Also, playing the moon again will have only one boss fight before being taken back the overworld.
As a side note, I beaten Hecatia and then Toyohime, despite that I unlocked the 'Lactose Intolerant' scene. My first playthrough I first beaten Toyohime, so maybe the clear game didn't work properly? I can't say for sure.
Other than that, great game!
