Reo is indeed likely to appear in future games (whether he'll be a love interest or not is debatable =w=). He actually also appeared as a child character in another of my games, though that one wasn't an otome ;P
i really enjoyed the game, the art is nice, its funny but also deep at the same time because of Lumi's feelings and cethin is srsly cute XD but damn i want a demon butler route😩💖
Hello good game creator here checking up to see how many butler route votes we have. Tell me im currently stuck with my cat holding my arm i cannot scroll down and count (also lazy) this is a request or i will need to send my cat after you. /J
MC was delusional, which could have oh so easily turned into an annoyance to the readers... but it was explained so well and made into something so understandable, that it made her seem stronger for it.
There was a sudden tone shift in Cerim's battle with the demon lord because the music changed drastically... But it wasn't jarring. It felt dramatic and well-placed, because of the opening motif. Well done. Also, even more about the climactic scene, Cerim legit was made to seem cool. With Reo narrating WHY Cerim was cool, MC showing such intrigue and Cerim's own poetry making a very bold statement, I was absolutely floored.
I'm so used to shit-post visual novels, or otomes that are a sinful indulgence in chiches and tropes- and this one indulges in tropes and cliches, alright! But it felt like it was done masterfully.
I am so happy that I played this game, I am so excited that I've found something like this.
Thank you so so much for making this game, I had SO much fun, it was unreal. Thank you. I am definitely going to check out the one game of you guys which I haven't checked out yet (Haha, I just realised I'd also played your muder mystery game and "The demon lord is mine")
The MC was admittedly the one I struggled with the most when I was writing the story. I kept going back to her editing lines, especially her earlier ones... and it kept me from proceeding with the story ^^"
I was worried about that music piece when I snuck it in, since I knew that it's different compared to the other pieces in the game. I'm glad the tonal shift worked out for you. The shift was quite intentional; I was even joking to myself during production how this was going from shoujo to shonen for the climax. The MC and Reo's side commentary was even meant to be a shonen side character battle commentary XP

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING AAAHHH and sorry for scaring you with the spoiler thingXD I just put it there in case anyone else wanted to read my comment before playing the game lol
HOLY MOLY! THIS MADE ME SCREAM A LOT AND I HAVE TO REREAD THE STORY AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT I DON'T FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY, but alas I failed and fell in love <3 avfjafvavfa
I absolutely loved this game! At first glance, I was unsure of what to think. But as the story progressed I fell in love with Cethin after getting two bad endings.
A part of me still wanted a route with the Demon Butler, I mean LOOK at his smirk. The little animations sold this game for me and I can't wait for you to make another! You're incredible for making me fall in love with everyone. :)
Ahh, this was such a wonderful game! I decided to give it a quick playthrough before going to bed and I'm glad I did, it was so sweet that I think I'll have good dreams for a change! ❤️ Thank you so much for making this lovely little visual novel.
Lil' trivia on that- I actually kept making extra expressions as I coded. Whenever there's a part which I don't think I had the proper expression for, I'd end up making a new one just for that part, so I'd end up drawing a new one along the way... that I found myself with expressions I didn't even get to use ^^"
AAAH!!! I adore this game sm and was wondering if you were going to announce when you were taking auditions for you VA parts? 👀 Because I’m super interested!!
I VOTE FOR A BUTLER ROUTE RIGHT FISHING NOW. also once again amazing game! its surprising how you dont want money for any of your amazing projects! good job ^^
Honestly, I'm torn between wanting to make my games as accessible to as many people as possible and well... money, cause I do need money, and I'm honestly not confident if anyone's willing to pay for them =w="
I might open a Patreon if there's interest, but right now I do have a Ko-fi XD
BUT YEAH. This one's free as it is a game jam entry, and the VAs helping me out with this aren't getting paid either so it's only fair to let this be played for free ^_^
That's a +2 vote 😂😂😂 THE PEOPLE WANT A BUTLER ROUTE!!!!!
P.S. You are able to tell a good story and have wonderful art. Tbh I think you should definitely make paid work. You have the drive that a lot of indie game dev companies lack. You actually finish your work and tell a really good story. I've seen projects that are larger scales than your games (By that I mean 20-40 hours long games) but they don't tell as good of a story as you do in less time. You/your team has true talent, you should definitely consider it!
PS PS: You made the art, coding AND story?!?!?! Triple threat!! You're so dang talented and you definitely need to get paid for your time! As artist people (videographer/editor here) it's easy to sell ourselves short. But you should definitely make some commercial work. Don't think it won't sell because it will!
This was a super cute game to end my evening with! I can't count how many times I've squee'd or aww'd and learning what happened to Cethin actually got me emotional. I love the chemistry Lumi and him have; it was the sweetest thing. Getting to see each CG and then being able to click through the layered ones in the gallery was also amazing, I've never seen anything like it, and it gave me so much dopamine.
I just finished the game and I LOVED IT! The art was beautiful, and the story was engaging and just so cute T_T The romantic moments were *chef's kiss*
I loved Lumi and her relationship with Cethin and Reo. I actually liked to see moments when everyone was interacting, too. All in all it was a really enjoyable visual novel. I hope you can make a Reo route because I fell in love with his character during Cethin's route haha I really hope to see more of him!!
I enjoy writing character dynamics! Honestly, I was excited to get to the part where all three meet when I was still writing, so I'm glad you liked it! ^_^
The game and the story are awesome: so sweet, so heartwarming <3 A perfect fairytale for the festive season, thank you so much for making it!
I loved the characters, the art, the music selection, the premise :) I loved the dynamics between the characters and their growth throughout the story. The attention to detail (like hints on getting the missing CGs in the CG Gallery) is great too!
In the true fairytale fashion, there are also some important lessons to learn here - the message about looking past the stereotypes and seeing for yourself what are your values, which people you want to befriend (no matter the preconceptions), what are your strengths (even if they don't fit the mold)
Beautiful story, beautiful game - thank you <3
P.S. Most importantly! I knew I shouldn't get my hopes up when I saw that there's only 1 romance route, but... Reo route! Reo route! Reo route! :D Please consider making it, pleeeeaaaaase (^-^)
Thank you so much for the detailed review! >o< I'm glad you enjoyed it ^_^
Reo was originally going to have a route, but I had to cut it out since I wouldn't be able to finish it for the game jam. We'll see if I'll go through with it :)

I loved this game! It was so cute with an interesting characters and story! Good work :D
Thanks! Glad you liked it ^_^
oh god,that was so cute,Cethin is just so precious aaah.Also Demon buttker needs a route,he is cool.
This game is so fun! Even with the limited dialogue options, i feel immersed in the story! I also love how flustered our dark elf friend gets :]
I'm glad you had fun! ^_^
This is a very pretty game. It is funny, but sweet at the same time. Please let Reo be a love interest in future games.
Thanks! ^_^
Reo is indeed likely to appear in future games (whether he'll be a love interest or not is debatable =w=). He actually also appeared as a child character in another of my games, though that one wasn't an otome ;P
i really enjoyed the game, the art is nice, its funny but also deep at the same time because of Lumi's feelings and cethin is srsly cute XD but damn i want a demon butler route😩💖
Thanks, glad you enjoyed ^_^
+1 to demon butler route~

I hope you have a great day, Anta.
Thanks for the support, I'm glad you enjoyed! ^_^
*SPOILERS?*
Ngl, your first line scared me XD
The MC was admittedly the one I struggled with the most when I was writing the story. I kept going back to her editing lines, especially her earlier ones... and it kept me from proceeding with the story ^^"

I absolutely loved this game! At first glance, I was unsure of what to think. But as the story progressed I fell in love with Cethin after getting two bad endings.
A part of me still wanted a route with the Demon Butler, I mean LOOK at his smirk. The little animations sold this game for me and I can't wait for you to make another! You're incredible for making me fall in love with everyone. :)
I'm glad you liked the characters ^_^
And I guess that's another +1 for our butler OvO
I loved the game! It was super sweet and I loved the art style <3 Would love to play a Reo route as well.
Thanks, glad you liked it >w<
Another +1 for butler route then =w=b
Ahh, this was such a wonderful game! I decided to give it a quick playthrough before going to bed and I'm glad I did, it was so sweet that I think I'll have good dreams for a change! ❤️ Thank you so much for making this lovely little visual novel.
Aww thanks!
I hope you had good dreams ^_^
Incredibly sweet! :D
I particularly appreciated how emotive your sprites were - kudos!
Aww thanks! >o<

AAAH!!! I adore this game sm and was wondering if you were going to announce when you were taking auditions for you VA parts? 👀 Because I’m super interested!!

*takes note of vote* =w=
Oh gosh, that's so sweet! THANKS >///<
Yeah, at the very least, this version release was a one person team aka me.
This was fuzzy and funny! I like the balance between the light-hearted and more serious scenes. And I vote for a butler route! :D
Glad you found it funny! ^_^
... And hopefully will be funnier once the voiced version is released XD
*takes note of vote*

Thank you for this heartwarming story!
Aww thanks!
I'm glad you felt that about the gallery also, especially since it's my first time implementing one >///<
I just finished the game and I LOVED IT! The art was beautiful, and the story was engaging and just so cute T_T The romantic moments were *chef's kiss*

Understandable :)
