Hi there! I'm Paleta Rosa! First, just wanted to say your art is super cute and awesome!

And second, we'd love to have you in our team!  Right now we are three people filling many roles (director, writer, programmer, character art, background art and others).

Here's a short synopsis for the story:

• The happy ending of a typical otome game. The villainess is defeated and dragged away, the heroine gets the prince. But just as she gets crowned, the heroine awakens an ancient evil hidden withing her, and starts an infection throughout the kingdom. Can the so called "villainess" find the way to defeat her and save everyone?

 We already have two "main" character artists (me for design and sketch, another one for color and render) but we are looking for someone to help assist us with them as we also fill other roles haha. Besides that, we also have more art roles we need (CGs, monster designs, backgrounds).

I have a recruitment document written with a lot more details that I can share you if you're interested!

And for a sample of our style, here's the last project the three of us did for the O2A2 jam: https://paletarosa.itch.io/tea-time-with-the-princess

Hope that you're interested! My Discord is @paletarosa, in case you'd like to discuss it more over there too <3

It means a lot to know that you liked it! Thank you for playing! <3

Yay! Thank you so much! We are really glad you liked it <3

And we have checked what you meant with the effect, and it really wasn't intentional. It was caused by the web build downloading the assets needed for the expressions by the moment instead of everything at the start haha. We have changed it and it shouldn't happen anymore. Thank you for telling us!

And thanks for playing! <3

Hi! Thank you so much for playing it! We are glad you liked it <3

Thank you! We appreciate it! <3

Hi! We just saw this comment, sorry! ;;
And thank you so much! Development is slow, but we are definitely planning on finishing this!

Hi! Thank you so much for your enthusiasm! <3

We ended up taking a lot longer to develop this than expected since the story expanded quite a bit haha, but we have now up to Chapter 02 available, and will keep constantly adding more story up until full release

It makes me really glad you loved it with what little content it was, thanks again!

Hi! Thank you so much for your comment! We have now uploaded a version up to Chapter 02, so there's a lot more now!

Thanks a lot for your interest! <3

I love these types of games! Planting and harvesting are some of my favorite comfy things haha

Art and audio were super cute and polished, and overal very cozy. Getting to match the pumpkins was a bit hard tho, but still fun nonetheless

A really nice game! I played it for a while hehe <3

Incredibly pretty art, wow. I'm really blown away by the amount of detail it has and how beautiful everything looks, I loved it. I feel like I could stare at it for hours haha <3

I also agree that I would like something else to do after gathering the ingredients, like making a potion. Besides that, a really nice comfy game!

This was such a cute game! Loved the puzzles, the wholesome story,  the art, the cute ending and the vibes in general. The last puzzle was challenging but pretty fun. Really liked this game! <3

I really love this type of games! It was quite hard to get what exactly we had to click, but the reactions if we messed up were pretty cute. I also loved the art, it was so pretty <3

I'm so bad at this type of games so I couldn't play much lol

But regardless, it was really fun!

The art is definitely a highlight, is incredibly pretty, I really really loved it <3

Thanks a lot! We are really happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much <3

Hi! Thank you so much! Yes, we planned to have a bit more choices, but we are glad to hear that you still like it.

Really appreciate the feedback  and that you enjoyed the writing and the vibes <3

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback!
Yes, we originally planned to go for a bit of a more interactive experience, but unfortunately we couldn't implement everything that was visualized due to time constrains :c

But we are glad you enjoyed it! Really appreciate it <3

I loved this game! The concept, atmosphere and story was incredibly cute and sweet <3

The only thing that I have as feedback is that I think the letters should be labeled "To" instead of "From"? Since they are letters for them, not from them, right?

Other than that, super awesome!

I particularly loved the character art, such a super pretty style <3

Yay! Thank you, it's great to know that. We really appreciate it <3

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! It really means a lot for us <3

It is fixed and there's full screen now! Thank you so much for your feedback <3

Thank you so much! I was worried that it wasn't super understandable with the missing dialogue, so I'm happy to know that! <3

Thank you! Our dev worked a lot on that hehe, glad you liked it!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, we couldn't add their story text due to time constraints, but we are really glad you enjoyed it regardless!

Thank you! We really appreciate it, I'm also a fan of the music haha <3

A really great game! I enjoyed the art, the setting, the story, and the general concept.

One thing I'd probably add is the ability to skip the first two days after completing one or two endings, or have a save option so we could save the progress of those days. Maybe it was my impatience, but knowing what was happening I wanted to get to the more important decisions sooner and felt a bit frustrated over having to repeat that so many times again.

But I reaaally enjoyed how everything progressed gradually either way, felt creepy and engaging getting the reveals of the other "illnesses" and what the doctor was actually doing.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. One of my favorites so far!

This game was pretty scary! And quite hard, I couldn't really get until the end since I always ended up getting killed haha. But I recognize it was a skill issue.

I also somehow missed the promp to turn on the flashlight at the beginning and thought for about two minutes that it was "Jumpscare: The Game" until I found out since I kept dying to the zombies. But again, that was on me.

Overall, really cool concept!

This was a cute game! I really liked the mechanic of changing surfaces, felt pretty unique and cool.

I got stuck twice, though, I couldn't move no matter what I clicked, both times happened after exiting the "brainy stages". I also felt that the melee did nothing? But it maybe was my game skills haha.

There were also some parts where I felt that the foreground was obscuring the tentacles so I ended up taking damage by a hidden tentacle, but that could have been as designed.

Overall, I really liked the gameplay and the idea! With some polish, it can turn great.

I really liked the idea for this game! Very unique.

Something that I think could make it better would be to have the objective on screen, since I struggled with knowing what to do before reading the description for the game. Also, all that red and the gameplay in general was a bit confusing, felt stuck a few times.

But very interesting! I can see what it was going for, great potential.

Hi! Thank you so much for your score, and thank you so much for playing our game!

We had a lot of fun while making our submission, and we appreciate it a lot you took time to play it. Thanks for organizing this jam <3

Hello! We are working on how to make the blur effect less strong, and we are also checking about options to include a dialogue log and the save feature for some parts that have it disabled.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It really helped to figure stuff that could be lacking, and we are working to make it better.

We are glad you enjoyed it, thanks again!

Hi! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are taking it into account and working on a new version so the blur is not as strong or making it so could be disabled
Thanks for playing our game and we are glad you enjoyed the setting!

Hello! We just uploaded a Mac version, so you can check it if you'd like! Thank you!

Hello! We are really glad you liked it! And thank you so much for your feedback! As I said in my other reply, after upload we had actually been discussing the opening scene and where to place the battle, because we agreed that it needed something more haha. We made quite a bunch of changes and just released the full Act. 00 with all of them if you'd like to check it out as well!

Thank you again for your super kind words and checking our game! <3

Hi!! Thank you so much for playing our game and leaving a review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed it so much and you found the premise interesting <3

And thank you for your feedback! We had actually been discussing changes for the complete Act. 00 after upload because we did realize that. To be honest, I only did a single pass on the script for Act.00 when I first wrote it because I focused more in the script that followed and then I let it slide until there was no time to make a second pass before implementation haha... So yes! I agree that it needed a better pull at the beginning and for the first battle to start earlier. We just released a new, complete version of Act. 00, so we'd be super happy if you could check it too!

Thank you so so much again for your kind comments! We definitely want to keep working on this and plan to eventually release the VN as a full game <3

Hi! We are currently working in a new release that'll include support for Mac and to play on web. Thank you for your interest! Stay tuned!
