Let me first just preface this with saying that I first played the demo last summer and instantly was hooked! I literally counted the days even though I didn't have a release date on my calendar. I was willing to wait patiently and this game was definitely worth the wait!!!
sooooo OMG I just finished Caissa's route and I'm gushing, blushing, and trying to convince myself not to play his route all over again--my tortured king lover boy :D I got the passionate ending <3 It took me 10+ hours to play through his route and while I was playing, I kept thinking "Wow, there are 5 more characters to play through, each with their own individual storyline" and I got even more excited! Thank you so much Esh because the game is incredible, the worldbuilding is breathtaking and impressively original, and the pilot episodes were so engaging and having a run-in with each character made it so hard to choose which one to play first. OH! And the fact that the MC's appearance and personality is customizable and seeing each photo with the little details made it even more special. Even the dialogue was realistic and full of witty one liners! I can't get over how fantastic and HUGE this game is. I would happily pay $30 again because honestly, I feel like it's not enough for the creator who spent years building this project. (Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for this price tho lol) I so hope you are proud of this labor of love because I was in awe as I played through and fell in love with the story.
I'm deciding whether to play Jake's or Ari's route next because I became slightly obsessed with Jake while playing Caissa's route--too cheeky and flirty, that one. BUT I was also drawn to Ari's stoic but gentle manner. And I can't wait to get to Lance's too. The fact that I'm able to do all this is incredible. THANK YOU! And for those who are on the fence, get this game because you won't regret it. It'll easily become your #1 VN!
