This was quite a fun visual novel! I enjoyed the art and character design, as well as the dialogue because it felt like I had been transported into time. The plot was interesting and though predictable it was quite an enjoyable read! Though I did have a hard time reading through Eloise's dialogue and trying to tell the difference between her narrating her actions or her actually speaking, and also it was quite the tough time for me to get the 3rd ending (wherein I think we die) but I quite enjoyed the Slayer Ending.
I was also endeared towards Glywndel (I'm sorry if I'm spelling her name wrong). I thought she'd be an uptight and strict person but turns out she's quite soft and warm, she's only like this due to Lord Fox which I can't blame her. I'm quite curious why lord Fox even lets her live but I think it's attributed to the fact that he needs someone to keep the manor clean and organize things but he'd rather not have too many people or else it'd be hard to sneak around. And he does have leverage against the poor woman, I'm quite curious to see Lord Fox and Glywndel's story before Eloise came, I feel like there'd be an even bigger plot and though Eloise can have her happy ending, Glywndel won't get that luxury until we reach Eloise's story.
Aside from that, really enjoyed this visual novel! Loved reading through the dialogue and picking apart the historical context (such as Eloise's apparent shock to Lord Fox not attending mass) and the words that are being written (very much love the way it was worded). Great job with this one!!
this game is great, i loved every second of it!
I really liked playing this game! Good writing and visuals in a neat bundle :) I look forward to playing your other titles too!
eloise got the early fashion nova fit... i love this game sm .
Hello Rachel! Do you have an email where I can contact you? I'd like to talk to you about the possibility of translating this game into Spanish :)
This is such an adorable game. The writing is so precious, I love the illustrations and the story, oh, I loved the story, it actually surprised me with some nifty ideas. You know, if you're considering writing another adventure for our nosy Eloise, I would be all for it because I think she’s a splendid - if complicated :D - protagonist I would love to see more of. Thank you so much.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this lovely review and video. It was a fun story to write :D
Loved the medieval setting of the story and the beautiful art! This was a really fantastic first game.
Thank you so much! It was fun to make
I love how the art feels both medieval and contemporary at the same time! Beautiful work!
Thanks! It was a super experimental style for me and I'm glad it landed
I just played it! For the first time I managed to get all endings with my own effort huhu ಥ_ಥ The illustrations are really lovely; I truly enjoy seeing such style! And although the game play managed to be done quickly by me, it was really good for your first game! (Who am I to comment much when I have never done my own other than just writing stories ＞﹏＜)
If I may suggest though, perhaps in your next game you could add an ending section so that players can keep track of the endings that they have achieved? :o There were only 3 endings for this, so it was manageable to keep a track on >< but if you were to have more than that, it would be slightly harder I suppose ;; Nevertheless, congrats on such a wonderful first game! <3
Thank you so much! And I totally agree. I want to add an unlockable image gallery and have some cool graphics for endings and special moments in my next game. Now just to figure out how to program it haha ^_^;
I'm sure you'll manage to figure it out in a bit ^-^ All the best though! You have my support <3
Quite enjoyable to play and visually stunning with your gorgeous illustrations which really immerse you in the experience. I really liked the character designs and the facial expressions are great. For your first game, this is spectacular!
Thank you so much!
Beautifully illustrated.
Thank you!
Hey Liphi! Thanks for the video, I'm glad you liked it. I'm excited to start working on planning a new game.
My name is Eloise so this was a strange experience, but i did love the game! It's wonderful!
Oh my gosh, my name's pretty common so I hear it all the time, so I'm a little used to it, but it must have been a bit weird if you don't see yours a lot.
Thank you for playing!♥︎
Hi, I cant seem to download your game? Im trying to download the win file.
Oh no! I'm so sorry. Can you tell me more what's going on? Is there an error popping up or is it just refusing to open at all? I don't have a PC so I can't test it myself.
It's your first visual novel but I already like it, especially Eloise the main character and the art is just so lovely. Though the music was Vivaldi (?) so it got copyrighted....
Oh wow! I feel honored someone would spend the time to put together a video on it. Thanks for playing!
I was recording this game and I did see a little bug where when you get the bees ending you would also get the "Slayer" ending, it seems that you didn't put "return" after the ending in the code, so it jumped to the label "slayer", I don't know if that's just me but I think you should have a look into it, wanted to warn you right now because it will take some time for me to post the video here and give some of my opinions and etc ;)
Oh gosh! Thanks for letting me know. I'll take a look.
The art is superb, and the story was a short and tense delight. I hope you make another game soon ^o^
Thank you! It was so fun to make. ♥️
great but can you make it playable for browser?
Really enjoyed playing this game(gave me bluebeard vibes), and the art style was really cute!
Thank you! I actually based it of the old bluebird fairytale, so I'm glad some of that came through in execution. :D
this was really nice! i loved going through the story as eloise & slowly finding out what was happening.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing! ♥️
The visual style is very nice, I love seeing the texture of the watercolor.
You build up the mystery quite well. Good job!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you thought the build-up was ok. The writing was the definitely the part I was most insecure about and wished I had time for a few more drafts on. ♥️
Oh my this looks so cute <3
Thank you! ✿
