itch.io

and they all go by they/them... it's #awesome

i'm glad you've found the love for this project again!! the backgrounds are looking beautiful!!!!!

played all endings and i'm now obsessively rotating this around in my mind..?????? ever play a VN that leaves a pit of longing in your chest. a wistfulness...? if you ever release more content for these characters, i'll be eating it up!!!!!!! but also the story's been so beautifully told just in this one VN so. gahhh. this story is just beautiful.

i've played both poly routes (one where i hung out with ronan first, then gigi second. and vice versa) and i have to say i've absolutely fallen in love with this cast...!!!!!!!! all three of them are so wonderfully written. the moments where gigi or ronan just soften at bonnie's silly self had me squealing. giggling. kicking my feet. etcetera etcetera!!!!!!!! ronan isn't usually the character i gun for in VNs, but i...... have fallen as deeply in love with him as i have for gigi. i'm not immune to his charms............ bonnie has two hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i truly loved gigi's endless unwavering faith in bonnie's abilities though. this VN feels like it loved all its characters equally, bonnie included. i loved that she had her own moments to shine -- silly to say as she's the protagonist, but it's just nice to see! the writing overall is just sooo lovely. i love how your choices are commented on, in both big & small ways. how if you make bonnie a little mischievous, she'll continue being so later in the conversation! 

that's without mentioning just how polished this VN is!!!!!!!!!!!! god, the art by squirrelcurls is stunning. the sprites are so emotive, the designs are beautiful -- i spent so much time just staring at the characters whenever they shifted expressions or poses, going "this is so damn cool" to myself over and over. i'm a fellow artist & i'm gobsmacked!!!!!!! -- and the backgrounds and the cgs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's just gorgeous...!!!!!!! 

i love the animations & how dynamic all the scenes are!!!!! i hope more VNs do the same, because it truly helps readers -- well me, at least -- engage in the scene!!!

the point and click elements don't feel arduous. although, i am point and click fiend... i lovee clicking all the objects and seeing what they say. (colors of the sky.... that made me giggle. i see you) i love how they change after a scene with a character!! it's those small details that really show how much love you've poured into this VN. 

ahhh okay, i could go on and on about how much i enjoyed this VN!!! but it was truly so lovely and i'll be thinking abt these three for days....

no, i completely understand!!! that's just the case with projects sometimes. life(TM) gets in the way. what's been released, i hold so dearly.  if you ever make it into an IF, i'll be the first in line that's for sure!!!!!!!! looking through, i completely missed your other VN, miss bellevue. i'll have to play that, as well!!! your writing's so magnetic i'll happily eat up whatever you release.

if you've seen that ask in your inbox geeking about the scene with S, that's me after having just finished reading starweaver. i rambled all my feelings there, hehe. you're definitely an author i'm keeping a close eye on!!!! <3 

i've yet to finish reading, but i have to comment! i feel silly mentioning this, but i absolutely adored your VN, let's misbehave!!! i've been a longtime fan and i think back on it so fondly. anyways, the excitement i felt upon realizing that you released an IF is. unreal. your writing's just as lovely as i remembered!!!! the scene with MC and our mother before our departure genuinely pulled at my heartstrings & punched me in the gut. like wow. your writing's just so... tender???  anyways, excited to read on!

congrats on getting through life with all its uphill battles!!! <3 so happy to see you back on this!!

this was such a delightful demo!!!!!! oh what a unique story line among the many visual novels i've played. i absolutely adore how much a sway we have on the story. i love the three versions of vivus, each with their own special personality. i also love the grander story happening in the background; in the accounts we read with these characters sharing their world views and experiences with the vivus. it's so much fun!!!!!!!!! the janitor's also catching my fancy. likeeee. guys i have two hands. anyways, absolutely love this and i can't wait for more!!

unrelated but this is how i discovered ur website and twimber commenting on each others profile is so cute 🥹🥹🥹🥹 sorry senbei for commenting abt these two under ur game.. i just had to share

just played circe's route and oh my god. everything about this VN is absolutely stunning!!!!!!! it has such a clean edge to it - from the gorgeous UI, to the gorgeous CGs (!!!!!!!!!!) - just everything about it has me awestruck....

i have to say, none of the characters were what i expected them to be. especially edgar. oh eddie. he is so much more of a smarmy asshole than i expected and i LOVE it. i'm guessing it's in part due to the relationship between him and circe, but man oh man. their banter had me smiling. circe's inner dialogue surrounding him pulls at my heartstrings. i also love abraxas, and i'm itching for more of nocturne!!!!!!! this is how i can make a circe polycule happen

they're all just so very charming, with backstories i want to dig my claws into and peel. apart. but genuinely, the most interesting character to me as of now is circe. is there an option to romance myself?? LOL and i loved how characters from dante's route appeared. makes the story feel so much grander in size with all these moving pieces. overall, i'm sooo excited for the full game!!!!!!!! ahh!!!!!!

this was so much fun!!!!!!!!! ohhh i haven't played ttrpgs in so long due to just being busy, so this scratched that itch perfectly. made me long for a game....... but wow wow wow.. the chatsim + VTT format is so so very fun, and i can imagine all types of games that can sprout out from it!!! like!!!!!!!! the potential!!!!!!!!!! i'm fond of the cast. we all love a DM who's a bit forgetful (#relatable). and also carmilla. carmilla the beloved. lesbian vampire in MY transgender chatsim? more likely than you think. anyways, absolutely loved it!!!!!!

had such a joy playing this!!! taliesin is so very charming, and the dialogue between him and the MC had me grinning all throughout my playthrough. ngl i've a crush on aelin. hello beautiful strong woman. when she came in flirting i giggled and twirled my hair. having both her and tali on my screen at the same time was everything!! my bisexual ass wants them both!!!!!!!! #greed. #alphasandwich. ABO isn't in my realm of interest but i truly enjoyed reading this!!

oh this was absolutely wonderful 🥹🥹 got way too attached to each cast of characters!!!!!! in my heart there's an ending where everyone's happy and lives long wonderful lives. crossing my fingers in hopes of a sequel!!!! 

oh this was absolutely wonderful.. i've been scrolling through IFDB playing games that catch my eye, and this struck a chord in my heart that still has my chest aching while i type this!!!!!! i hope you never stop writing, author <3 and i adore caspian, my sweet emotionally-distant mer... something. 

first attempt was sorta like.. trying to make a character? finding a theming and trying to stick with it.  i think i did well enough!! second attempt is what spoke to me personally and i'm much more fond of it.. <3 what a delightful game i had so much fun playing (and will do a few more attempts of once i post this, hehe) i absolutely love this gameplay it's so. unique? or unfamiliar to me at least. but it scratched a very specific itch in my brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

i just discovered this and words can't describe how utterly in love i am with this work. wow, wow!!!!!!!  i'm so smitten by this. this island and its inhabitants have stolen my heart. each of them are utterly charming, and i struggled so hard to pick between them. i ended up going for dagmara, but when i've the time - i'd like to do all of their routes. they're all so very charming, and your gorgeous writing helps!!! ohhh. i'm in love with the lore as well. it's so rich and full of life. the way it effects the residents. oh don't get me started on the side characters. i loved going through their "quests" .. i was never bored with this IF. also loveee harvesting my plants and selling them all and watching the money go up. very pleasing. anyways i'm just so in love with this piece of media. will be thinking about it for a while. please never stop writing, author <3

short and sweet!!! <3 loved the narration. even as i'm soon to turn 21, the dialogue felt scarily relatable at times!!!!! both love interests were charming. dreamy sigh. i'm wanting to see more of them now.... i'll be the first in line if you ever continue their stories! such a lovely VN <3 

this was such a good VN!!! ohhhhh, the worldbuilding's so intriguing to me. i wan to learn more!!!!!! my attention was immediately hooked. the dialogue between anna and liam is really charming. i've had them for like.. 40 minutes at most but if anything happened to either of them i'd kill everyone and then myself. liam my little weirdo (affectionate) i'm wary of discussing spoilers but that one sprite reveal was really good!!!!!!! also, the moment they both realized what was happening and put their heads together to intelligently navigate the situation? chef's kiss. i absolutely love scenes where smart characters do smart shit! i'm so excited for the rest of this VN!!!

i was honestly just scrolling through the 'romance' tag searching for something to fill the VN-shaped hole in my heart rn, so when i saw this, i was kinda just carelessly downloading it.. not thinking much other than "this seems like it'd be lighthearted fun!" oh how wrong i was.

yes it was comedic gold, but also such a heartwarming story i couldn't stop grinning throughout the whole thing!!!!!!!!!!!!! words can't describe how much i adore the writing. the utter sincerity from egen that blindsided me multiple times where i took multiple screenshots. like. a concerning amount. nune i hope you never stop writing. please never stop writing. you can write an adorable alien bachelor like nothing eles, i'm so excited to see what else winking corvid comes out with.

i wish so bad i found this sooner. this is genuinely such a gem of a VN. the GUI is beautiful (had moments where i stared at it like "mann.. this looks so good"), the sprites are so charming, toeing the line between hilariously expressive and awfully genuine that it rips my heart out. 

truly i could. write so much about this but it'd get too long. tldr: i love this so bad. i wish i could replay it with fresh eyes again because ohh... egen. egen my beloved. i'm so smitten by him.

edit: i forgot, i meant to add one of my favorite interactions! "say... what do you think you'll do after this planet?" "miss you." instantly Killed Me

that was so delightful!!!!!!!!!! <33 ahh, you have a way of writing a cast of lovable characters where i can't pick just one to pursue. or even my favorite, at least. and i LOVEE some worldbuilding. sunk my teeth right into the convo we had with naseem. so excited for more!!

i have a crush on the entire cast... god help my soul ! ! ! !  carson.... carson hmu. i'm free this sunday all day. any time. they're all so charming and so interesting!!!!!!!!! outside of romancing them, i'm truly drawn in by all their personalities. it's all sunshine and rainbows right now, but i feel an underlying unease? like. the tension of a rubber band before it's about to snap. i love it. there's so many ongoing cast dynamics, as well, that i'd love to learn more about. anyways, who else nearly got killed by our darling golden shepherd? <3 would do it again.

from what i could play, i had so much fun!! yes, my fun included me stressfully pulling at my hair and sighing and trying not to strangle certain characters. but that's exactly what i found so fun! excited for the fixed release! <3 and i'll try downloading it to see if that helps, bc i'm playing on browser version rn.

ohh happy devniversary! 💗 your drive is honestly so inspiring!! excited to see your future projects come to life!

i've been through two character routes (jack & syd, going to do the sayyida next!) and oh my god. it's absolutely amazing how this is free? the fact there are branching paths with how lengthy this novel is is amazing!! i had so much fun just doing jack & syd, i want to replay them try the other paths - the fact there's six more characters are insane. you don't shy on sharing all the lore & worldbuilding either! this is amazing!! 😭 this reawakened my love for pirates, as well. i'm so curious as to the entire process of how you wrote this.... if you ever post something about that, i'd love to read it!

so excited!! been refreshing my itch.io like crazy <3

i played this the other day and told myself i'd leave a comment and i completely forgot!!! ahhh! this vn is the absolute cutest! i adore it!!! i'm so fond of the entire cast. ending where i ask them all to dance when?? don't ask me how it'd work. the entire cast have their own challenges they're trying to overcome, and it has such a sincerity to it. ooohh. i'm so excited for any future projects of yours! <3

i enjoyed the demo so much!!! the lore is very rich,  and i enjoy any narrative that has 'a character that haunts the narrative.'  that's what glaucia seemed like to me, and i'm so interested in discovering more about her. i love me a lady knight, so i immediately am swooning for yulie. tobias is adorable, though!! they've both stolen my heart. god bless poly routes. i haven't played love the guard, be the king - but it's been on my list for the longest time. if this is the quality of your vns, i'll have to check it out!!

also, absolutely adore the art. oh my god. it's stunning and dark and slightly gritty, if that makes sense. very fitting for the setting. tldr: loved it!! i'm so excited for more!

i managed to play it even though i have so much to do and oh my god. i had so much fun!!!!!!!! i'm so very in love with the entire cast, the intricate lore i want to sink my teeth into. me when i want to kiss my love interests but only after they tell me what their deal is. give me all your backstory NOW. no but seriously, you've given all of them their own charm and!!!! the one who surprised me most is yakyar!! oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love them all, but yakyar really took me by surprise with how much they charmed me. the scene in your room before the midsummer celebration? iykyk. yakyar lovers do.  🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

(this is going more into spoiler territory!) i went through all the dance scenes, and. oooh. i have so many thoughts. the scene with berit and river during the berit route? it made me giggle and swoon. berit, you are so cute. darin i have such conflicting feelings for you. but i need him bad.  they need to stop speaking ill of my many crushes... yes, that one's a retired soldier. i've grown attached to him. anyways, i also love all the side characters.  i'm so fond of them. yes, i flirted with them every chance i got. my protag is entirely me being self indulgent. i'm sorry, calliope 

that cliffhanger!!!!! aghh! you love to leave us at a high note! the lore is so very juicy. god. i absolutely love reading through the worldbuilding.  i can't get enough of it!

tldr: i want to ramble more but the fact this is (from what i recall?) a one-person show is just. amazing. simply amazing work. sorry for posting this tangent here, FDHFGDH!!!!

i SCREAMED. AHHHH !!!!!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED

this was so much fun!! i adore all the characters, especially our protag, kassja. i enjoy how strong willed she is. this is leaning into spoiler territory, but in the demo - she doesn't go down either 'route.' her humanity keeps her from loyally serving aja, while her (righteous) anger pushes soren away. she's been through so much, my poor girl (T T)

i'm in love with aja's design, as well!!! twirling my hair giggling whenever they're on screen. the GUI really pulls the whole VN together! whoever worked on that did amazingly. i'm so excited for the full game!!

this vn has a certain charm i love. i can't wait for the next update! <3 the entire cast has my heart.  and when i mean the entire cast, i mean all of them. i want to romance them all. they all make me swoon, ahh!!!! i'm so excited to see where the story goes. what's the curse? where's it from? why do they have it? why are we getting married to the captain?? so many questions!!

ohh, i absolutely loved the demo!! i'm so excited for what's to come for this if!!! i'm a sucker for friends to lovers, so you know i made my girl crush on maxie. i'm so curious about kelsey as well. what's up with them and their partner.. we'll have to find out hehe

i just did a backflip

finished day 1, and i had so much fun!! ahhhh! i absolutely love this game and the cast. <3

rebs hinting that we could've been the ones to kiss made me giggle. rebs, you can hmu any day!!!

this was so much fun!! oh my god, the art is absolutely gorgeous. the atmosphere was so engaging. and both the characters are charming, in their own way. the background design was STUNNING. 

spoiler territory: 

i'm so glad sallie didn't ignore all the absolutely blatant red flags. like, the matryoshka doll, the tea, the locksmith. even in the beginning you can tell she's good at scoping out suspicious people,,  i'm hitting kien with a stick 

i love them all too much. i'm swiping right on them all

oh my god not the way that this is how i found out a high school daze sequel was in the works????? idc about a pushback i'm just elated there's a sequel at all!!!!!

this game was absolutely golden! much like the previous commenter, i had my eyes on this game for some time, but could never play it myself due to the lack of storage on my phone. now that there's a PC version however, i immediately downloaded it ASAP! and let me say, it was sooo much fun!!! all the characters are adorable. i'm in love with them all, even the side characters. it's messy, it's funny, it's complicated, it's dramatic. it's everything i NEED in a romance game. i love the friends banter, the conversations they have!!!! 

this made me laugh out loud. though i was smiling all throughout the game, hehe
