I am so INVESTED. I really liked the point-and-click aspect of it, and I found myself replaying it 700 times to see all the clues (on that note, I was confused as to whether you can avoid getting arrested or not because I seemed to keep getting the same outcome). The art was very nice and the dialogue was very natural and funny. I got a laugh out of shining the UV light on Crow.
It’s pretty easy to have your side characters end up flat, but I felt like every character in Gerda had some dimension. I can’t wait to try the future chapters and find out what happened to Kay. I hope he’s not dead :’(
OMG thanks for playing, we really enjoyed your commentary! And yes, we plan to bring Jason back in future stories, so you’ll definitely get to know him better!
AAHH THIS WAS THE CUTEST THING EVER !! I could tell that so much love was put into this game, from the different art of Iggy in his room (my personal favorite was the burrito blanket LOL) to the beautiful story sequences to the witty and endearing text conversations. Iggy as a character felt relatable, and it really had me rooting for him till the end. :D
I also really enjoyed his exchanges with Orlam and I was laughing through a lot of them. The after-credits scene was so cute too AAAAA!! I was overall super invested in this game and it was a super enjoyable experience! Amazing job Carrot!!
Thank you so much for playing our game!! We’re super glad you enjoyed the setting and atmosphere- as fellow dark fantasy lovers we really wanted to deliver on this front.
There is so much more to come with the introduction of the LIs and routes we have planned, so you can look forward to getting the full otome experience soon! :D
Thank you so much truly, your kind words mean a lot to us!! We’re glad you’re looking forward to the story progression, we’ll work hard to try and bring justice to our vision hahah.
We really tried to deliver on atmosphere from the art to the special effects, so we’re super super happy that you enjoyed it. Perrin’s journey is far from over so we hope you’ll enjoy future updates as well as meeting the LI’s for the true otome experience!
Aaaa hearing this really means a lot to us, thank you!! :D
Especially as a newcomer to the VN game genre we’re glad it lived up to your expectations.
Hahaha we’re really glad you you enjoyed the art, albeit being a bit rushed from our end LOL. We definitely plan to give the prologue a full revamp and just polish things up in general (like the sprites you mentioned/ certain aspects of the story) and update that along with the first of three routes. Thank you for playing and your feedback, it’s really valued to us. We hope you’ll enjoy the future updates for this project and meeting the Love Interests! <3
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMGGG WE’RE SO GLAD YOU LIKED IT<3
We really wanted to get the atmosphere right since we love creepy and spooky vibes, so we’re glad that seemed to come through! And we definitely put a lot of energy into finding the right music and enough sfx (actually the process was almost hellish with the time constraint lol).
So glad you liked the art! That mom one is actually our favorite! We also felt incredibly rushed with the art actually (one of us drew Ivan while she had a fever 😭) so we’re actually going to release a revamped version of the sprites and CGs along with the release of the first route!
We’re so glad you liked the story! We were a bit worried about our writing and whether it flowed right or conveyed all our ideas properly, so it’s nice to hear that you were so invested!
AND LOLLL THE FOREST CHASE SCENE. We were actually wondering whether it was too difficult, but one of us enjoys dishing out a tiny bit of suffering and decided there’s no such thing as too difficult<3 So glad you liked it, though!
There is absolutely so much more to come! We’re going to be including a good amount of romance in the story, so you can look forward to getting the full otome experience!
Everything about this game was spectacular, from the art, the spooky effects, and the character writing. The game drew me in almost instantly from the start. I really liked the level of interaction at the beginning and the sense of (kind of) normalcy which caught me off guard when the jumpscares happened.
I was sad when I got the third ending because I wanted to see what happened next lol. I will definitely be following this project and I can’t wait to see it further developed. I also would love to see an interface/menu to be able to skip past dialogue and explore the other endings faster. Other than that this is an amazing piece of work.
Thank you for the feedback and for playing our game. We have chosen to select an otome tag, as Perrin although disguised as a man at the beginning of the game, identifies as a woman. Her gender presentation is moreso tied to her familial situation rather than her gender identity, and we plan to incorporate more of the otome-like feel as we further develop the game and introduce the Love Interests.
We were inspired by a lot of the genderbend otome out there and wanted to try making something akin to the trope. Additionally Perrin herself is just tomboyish in nature and had she been allowed to live as a woman, she would still have masculine personality traits.
If the reasons behind Perrin’s presentation are not super apparent in the story (like why she is called Prince), we would love to hear more details so we can improve the writing when we update the game next.
Please let us know if you have any more questions!
Omg chim thank you so much for the kind words, we’re super flattered and happy that you liked it!! 🫶 I’m glad you think that the story progression/ set-up was done well because it was something we were kind of worried about given all the world building we had to incorporate first hahah. We’re really glad that you’re looking forward to seeing more of this project, we’ll work hard! 🙏
This was such an adorable game! We loved the atmosphere and the art/animations so much! The way the Prince was characterized was refreshing and relatable. People are scary :’)
Thank you so much for the sweet and thoughtful words! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D Yes, honestly we would have loved to go over the word limit to fit more lore/make the pacing more seamless, I think the concept could be worth revisitng in the future. If you haven't read our devlog yet you're free to check it out, (we go into our thought process a little regarding Jason). But again, thank you for the lovely comment and I hope you have an amazing day!
Thank you so much Arbit :) Glad you enjoyed it! It’s our first VN so I was playing around with the effects to get a feel for it hahah. I appreciate it 🫶
