1. chose vicenzo because i love a psycho with morality
2. favorite scene is a certain violent one in a certain garden.. idk i just loved the description
3. i will be very very interested in paying for the full game (when i am not broke)
4. i love vicenzo's villainy because he seems to have a sense of justice? edel is ok. sadists are ok i guess. but he should STOP ******** ME? THIS IS THE THIRD TIME
5. comments: daydreamed about this for the whole day <333 im so in love. and i just found out this was made by the same person who made that story about odysseus and penelope + duck puns?
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
I think I would choose Vincenzo, it feels like the smoothest route to flow into considering we are in a trial engagement.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I like all the dialogue scenes with the FL's inner thought bubbles. They are very relatable and funny. For Vincenzo I think the scenes of him laughing are cute, for Edel it was nice to see him show his dark side early on.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
(The full game will be PAID)
If I ever reach a point I can pay for the paid game, yes would definitely consider this game. I honestly want a manga version of this as a story!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Hmmm it's hard to say because I feel like they are not? But I think it's more to do with the awkward way we see the dark side. The part that I think worked well as a villain side was the ending part for Edel. The initial scares feel a bit strange because there is this "he wouldn't dare" so it isn't as scary but it's too intense to be subtle.
AAAAAAH, I'M SORRY ABOUT REPLYING AFTER 3 MONTHS :C But, eh, yes, if possible since I read quite fast and my wrists are not as good as they used to, so double clicking all the time kinda hurts my hand after some time, unfortunately.
I would choose Edel first because we meet him first and he's really cool. He's also a very very pretty man so I would obsess over him the most, and he just seems like his route would be more interesting.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
My favourite scene is after we meet Edel and he laughs at us. He just seemed like a funny person.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
This game is all could think about since I started playing, so if I have enough money, I would definitely play the full release.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
The death endings and stuff were unexpected and scary, so I think that they're enough for meeee!
This was such an amazing game! I've been replaying over and over again! The MC's inner thoughts made me laugh quite a few times because that's what i always think when playing Otome games!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Hard for me to choose but I would have to say Edel, I love his character so much! In all honesty, when we made a deal with him at the beginning my first thought was if he was an option.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Definitely when Vicenzo forced Edel to eat those muffins. I had to take a second and laugh. Made me question if Edel was okay after that and if he drank a gallon of water just to get rid of that taste.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Definitely! It was so entertaining to play! I'm super interested in what you can do later on in the game, and I just couldn't handle that cliffhanger!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
I'd say yeah, I like how they aren't too villainous to the point where you don't even want to talk with them but they aren't good people either and you can see that.
I don't know what that means... someone had already reported that it works for them, so if it's not installing at all, then it might be a compatibility issue which I could do nothing about, sorry.
I think I'd have to go with Edel, neither love interest is the type id usually go for they tend to act a bit too airheaded. Edel mostly seems to do it around his boss, so I do prefer him then theres the dark hair plus multi color eyes and thats just so dam fine lol
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I think my favorite scene would have to be MC bickering with her brother during the engagement thing, or Edel in the after they first meet when hes laughing and takes off his mask for the first time.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
I dont really know, if its free to play then probably. I do like the game its fun to play and I did really enjoy it, but neither love interest is what I tend to like in these kids of games so I wouldnt be able to get into it as much as Id like. I prefer things I can lose myself in that goes for pretty much everything anime, games, books, ect... and I cant see myself losing myself in either LI.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
For me personally id have to say no, I mean I like the scenes where they act serios like when Edel threatens MC but besides that with how airheaded they can act it comes across almost childish to me. When I think Villain I think of someone a bit more serious and like scary even if its only one side of them they show in private.
-Other comments are welcome!
I did really enjoy the game, I played through it multiple times and it was fun I love how you dont lose sight of the other NPCs theyre fun to be around and even after rereading the bickering so many times I didnt get bored of it that kind of writing really is amazing I do wish you could like personalize the MC a little more even if it was just choosing a different dress im sure some of the things I said may come across a little judgy but your game really is well made and amazing!!!
It was so fun to play!! I laughed so many times, characters arefunny andinteresting! Mc was very funny I loved her chibi reactions! They were so cuteee <33 I liked Estella and Henry as well, their dynamic is so nice!! And I can't describe how much I liked to bicker with Edel lol, he seems like such a great character as well!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I think it would be Vicenzo! I like him! Well, that's beacuse he is kind, generous guy, right?? Sure, but also nah, he is such a snake, I love this smile of his! (and I have a soft spot for smiling characters with closed eyes xD) Also for some reason I find the fact that he loves muffins cute, as well as his whole 'I'm going to act like a proper fiance' persona! I'm very curious why is he insists at calling him Vicenzo
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I think it would be moment when Vicenzo crashed a tea party and brought roses for mc-- I wasn't expecting that and it made me laugh! Ofc I had to accept them, but later replaying the game with other choices the fact mc said she wants money the most was SO real xDDD
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Definitely!! I'd be happy to play it! I'm also intrested in other routes that weren't playable in demo, but were hinted at~ games with many choices are great!!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
This is a hard question, but I think I would say yes? They were villainous, yeah, and in cool and different ways, but it's hard to tell since I don't know how would they act if they were more, sorry!
-Other comments are welcome!
I wish you best!! If demo was such a fun experience I wonder what full game will be! But also no pressure, take your time and take care!! ^^
Huh, so at the party? Does the game just close? Might be device compatibility? Since I've had some people test it and they've completed the demo in theirs... 😅
Played the demo and had a blast! Teresa was such a fun mc to play as and there was a nice balance of humor and tension. The first time I played, I got the bad end towards the end of the demo and had to rewind to pick another choice to not get offed. The villains aren't playing around and I hope to see this be maintained even as they start to fall in love with Teresa. (Good luck girl!)
Minor spoilers(?) for the questions
1. I'd probably pick Vicenzo as my first route since he seems to be more reasonable than Edel and already looks to have a bit of a soft spot for her. Edel is fun to interact with but I'll need to see more of him to want to go for his route.
2. My favorite scenes were the ones with her friends and brother. The mutual teasing and "I've got your back" is great to see, especially when I dislike seeing the og heroine as a scheming manipulator or a doormat to let the villainess shine. Also the accurate sibling representation. <3
3. They are villainous enough for me. I thought they had the right amount of charisma and in the grey for me to not be turned off. Plus their voices are nice.
4. This is fun speculation but I was looking through the faq and noticed that the answer for whether we'd get more love interests was rather... vague. So I started thinking of who would fit the criteria, and Teresa mentioned that that there were 4 ros in the og game. So far, we've seen three in the demo: the prince (confirmed non-romancable), our brother (nope), and Henry is already taken. So that leaves the fourth ro who has not appeared yet. With current knowledge he'd be my bet if another route is added.
I FEEL LIKE I'D WANT TO CHOOSE EDEL'S ROUTE FIRST CUS HE SEEMS LIKE A FUN CHARACTER
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I WON'T SAY I HAVE SPECIFIC PREFERENCES BUT I LOVE IT WHEN MC AND EDEL INTERACT (Even though half of the times they interacted was when Edel tried to kill her😭)
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
YES I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY ITYT
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
YEAAH
-Other comments are welcome!
I LOVW THE GAME SO MUCH AND I'M EXITED ROR THE FULL VERIONNN
Probably Vincenzo. Since a good chunk of the demo (the engagement) centers around him, it'll be interesting to see what comes of it. Also, he sparkles a lot.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Tea with Estella and Henry! It's super refreshing having the original otome protagonist be a good friend and not a twist villain (haha... unless?). I also loved all the hilariously unexpected sprites (Vincenzo holding all the muffins and that one grin Edel makes).
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Yes! :D
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Definitely, in fact Edel being nicknamed the bad end butler was perfect because that was exactly what I pinpointed him to be. This one can and will murder Teresa in a heartbeat.
-Other comments:
-Teresa is an excellent protagonist. She's got a really strong and relatable voice, and it's a delight seeing her poker face contrasted with the little thought bubble chibis (brilliant idea, by the way.)
-I liked the terminology you can click on! Even if I already knew what most of the terms meant, Teresa's commentary made the explanations entertaining and smoothly linked back to the story.
-As usual, your art style and storytelling thus far is a delight (I've played through Pre-Odyssey and the jester game before this and they were both great)! I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for Teresa and the crew. In the meantime, I'll be hunting down the bad endings in the demo.
edel's !! while i do like vincenzo, i have a burning passion for his trope and honestly can't wait to see him warming up to teresa.
plus he's silly. in his own villainous way.
~ what's your favorite scene ?
it was close, but i'd say the muffin scene. just screwing edel over and forcing him to eat the muffin gave me joy. plus i personally love spicy muffins (despite how little they're talked about + how weird they are), and seeing a nobleman inhale them is humorous to me.
~ are you interested in playing the full release ?
ABSOLUTELY. the cliff hanger was criminal. i wanna know more about the two of them </3
~ are the LIs villainous enough for you ?
i'd say they were. they weren't villainous enough for me to be completely repulsed by them, but they weren't heroic either. they're just committing crime and doing jobs no matter how heinous, and that's pretty cool.
~ other comments :
did anything in particular in the 'isekai but i romance villains' genre inspire you, like a specific piece of media or anime ? or do you just like the genre in general ^^
is teresa inspired by anyone ? did you base her off of yourself ?
teresa is honestly so relatable and understandable. she isn't an annoying mary sue, but she also knows when and when not to act impolitely. i love her >>
and i love the gif for the thumbnail, the first time i saw it i was completely awestricken !! it's a minor detail, but i adore it xx
____________________________________________ Now, for your questions- >I wouldn't say anything specific inspired this, but rather, the whole genre of otome isekai/transmigration manhwas, webtoons, LNs and animanga did. So- it's a mishmash of tropes and elements from otome isekai and other adjacent series. I wanted to make something familiar, yet original for fellow otome isekai fans, and myself, of course. -That's why I won't say that this is a 'survival otome', but an 'otome isekai otome'. -You have survival, you have contract marriage (engagement), you have magic, you have s*hitty family members- and maybe more to come :)
>Hm. I wouldn't say Teresa is based off me. I'd say she's based off otome players?😂I wanted to make an MC who is an 'ordinary woman/girl' in every sense. She can't fight, she's no genius cook, she's no peerless doctor... she's just an otome game otaku trying to find time to play with her 2D husbandos after work until truck-kun came knocking.
I made an account just to comment here! I love this! I hardly find ones with such roles and plot! I love the internal monologue and expressions of the mc! This is actually wat I have been looking for (I have been invested too much in isekaid villainess roles)! I'm so excited for the full release! Oh yah I tried the Android test built, it worked beautifully!
i didnt expect this to be this good ! i love how unhinged the Lis are like theyre actually evil especially edel i cant wait to uncover more and find out if theyll do messed up stuff in their routes plus i love that the mc has friends estelle and henry are so adorable cant wait to play the full release.
Vicenzo's!!!!!! I'm a sucker for guys like him in games/ novels/ manhwas
-What's your favorite scene/event?
the part when we met at the ball! well- more of when we danced? when he told me to meet him in the garden I was scared asf, but after taking a break from my computer and walking away...it kind of had me swooning ngl (don't ask me what part of that made me swoon. just know I was giggling to myself for a good 5 minutes)
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
More of talking to the actual love of my life with my favorite "isekai but falling for the villain's" trope? idk... I'll think about it- (OF COURSE ID PLAY THE FULL RELEASE??!?!!? EVEN IF IT COSTS MY COLLAGE SAVINGS.)
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
made my heart thump. (take that as you will because any and all ways you are thinking of are 100% accurate.) but yeah! I like how discrete and Evil they are, definitely could be eviler but I think id get nightmares about hot guys coming to kill me-
-Other comments are welcome!
Do you have siblings? because you wrote the FL and the twin brother so well!! while Viceny (my baby boo bo bear) is trying to wed the FL, she and her brother are (kinda sorta) fighting. but when I agreed to the month's trial he seemed genuinely concerned. its the first time I've seen a sibling dynamic that the brother isn't just evil or overly doting, (or...yk, in love with his sister..ew) you made it ACTUALLY realistic for twins/ siblings close in age, bickering but still loving each other.
looking forward to the official game!! keep up all of your amazing work!!
Never felt so scared during a game IN MY LIFE til this. i love how relatable the FL was and I genuinely felt scared as hell when I heard the heartbeats or when the screen got red.
loved this game, love ALL of your games and I hope for many mannny more in the future! (but for my sake, PLEASE END UP FINISHING THIS GAME! I love the demo but I need my future husband Vic to swipe me up off my feet)
Lots of fun playing this, I'm looking forward to the full release!! I also had NO idea Edel could actually kill you till I read these comments, I must be lucky.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Definitely Vicenzo's. Not to say I don't love Edel, but I really enjoyed all the interactions with Vicenzo, and I found myself being as nice as possible to him (sometimes to Edel's detriment) even after I swore I wouldn't pick favourites yet. What can I say, I'm a sucker for feminine guys.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I really enjoyed both the scenes where we told on Edel to Vicenzo. They were silly, and it was cute watching Vicenzo defend us, even if it was played up slightly. I also liked the sibling moments we got during the proposal scene.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Absolutely! I'd give some money too if I had any, maybe next pay (o´▽`o)
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes! Even though I wasn't aware they could actually kill me, I was already on edge around Edel, and I was cautious with my choices when I was around them. Really good job! (๑>◡<๑)
I had such a fun time playing this demo! I can’t wait for the full release. I’m such a sucker for a villainess plot and this game seems to more than deliver. Great characters, funny and relatable protagonist, a super intriguing plot? I honestly couldn’t ask for more.
-Whose route would I choose first? And why?:
I’d choose Vicenzo’s route first. I wasn’t completely interested in him at the beginning of the demo but he definitely won me over as it went on. I’m interested in learning more about him and his CLEARLY ulterior motives.
-My favorite scene/event?
My favorite scene would have to be the scene where Vicenzo comes to ask for Teresa’s hand. It was such a great scene and I really enjoyed watching Teresa and Erik interact more. Clearly there’s a warmness between the two but with that oh so familiar sibling flair.
-Am I interested in playing the full release?
Absolutely!
-Are the LIs villainous enough?
Yep. I felt on edge plenty of times when making choices and felt I couldn’t let my guard down. You can tell both Edel and Vicenzo have something going on behind the scenes but I felt like I had to be careful to not pry too much which would be realistic considering their positions.
Vincenzo. I love the dynamic and banter between him and Teresa, as well as the subtle hints that he might actually have some genuinely care for her. Sure yeah he is the shady as shit, but he has moments were he genuinely apologizes to her for getting her dad involved, which also leads to some intrigue on his own family. I'm interested to find out more about him and his plans in the game.
(Bonus Reason: He reminds me of two of my favorite characters, Izaya Orihara from Drrr!! and Xellos from Slayers)
-What's your favorite scene/event?
It's a tie between the Garden conversation between Estrella & Henry ( Luv these two, They must be protect at ALL COST!) and The Muffin X scene when Edel is forced to eat after he teases Vincenzo about Teresa liking him more. After seeing his reaction, I kinda wonder what it would be like if I did accept the muffin XD
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Oh 100% YES!! Just added it to my VN that I'm looking forward to in the upcoming year.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
*Stabbed by Edel 7 times on first play* ...yes...these are some vile LIs ^^'
This was an absolute fun demo playthrough! Your characters/dynamics have always been intriguing and investing in your games, and it surely shines here. I can't wait to see more characters and learn more about the LIs and the Blessings systems too. That definitely caught my eye and I wonder how it will be used in the full release?
Overall, this was a 10/10 wickedly beautiful demo!
OMG I LOVE VICENZO SO MUCH AHHH MY CUTIE PATOOTIE POOKIE BEAR LOVELY BABY
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Vicenzo, he sounds like a completely deranged but also fake dude. I love those kind of characters the most. Edel is too aggressive for my liking, since we have to be REALLY careful while talking to him. But with Vicenzo, we can get by as long as he's sure that we're not threating his main objective. Plus, Vicenzo fits my type more, I love smiley men in games XD.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
The one where Vicenzo keeps insisting to people to call him by his name instead of his surname. On one side, I feel like it's a clue for his past/a hidden event (like maybe he actually hates his own family? or maybe adopted?? Pardon me because I read too much novels).
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
YES! I hope I'd have enough money and time to play this by the time it releases the full version.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
For Vicenzo, I definitely think that he's dark enough to fit the "leader of a villain gang" type. While for Edel... I personally think he's too unstable and it makes it hard to survive around him. Or maybe it's because in the demo we don't have many options around him so the second you arouse his suspicion, you'd get a bad ending.
SPOILER for my struggles in playing this demo:
I'm ashamed to say it's really hard to get a good ending in this one. I literally have to replay it like more than 6 times, and by the end I figured out why I kept failing, turns out it's because I tried to be a smarta*s in front of Edel when we first met and asked him about the Boss. LOL. And that's why even if I already tried a lot of choices in the replays, since I thought we have to be a smarta*s to Edel, he always ends up k-worded me T^T.
I don't know if many people experience the same thing (where they keep getting the bad ends because of that one thing), but if it is, I think it'd be better to share a PDF about tips on getting both the good/bad ends? Since it'd be easier that way than digging through the comments. That's just my two cents, and also I love this game! Good work you did here <3

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
guys go play pre-odyssey
ahhhh so excited for the full game!
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
super hard to choose! vincenzo is oddly really sincere, but i love edel's foxlike vibe :3
-What's your favorite scene/event?
making edel eat the muffins LMAO
-Are you interested in playing the full release? (The full game will be PAID)
YES!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
yeah!! i like that vincenzo seems, while genuinely really menacing, to have his own moral code. and edel is a wildcard luv it
-Other comments are welcome!
i wonder if there will be a route for the prince? he's an interesting character
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I think I would choose Vincenzo, it feels like the smoothest route to flow into considering we are in a trial engagement.

The initial scares feel a bit strange because there is this "he wouldn't dare" so it isn't as scary but it's too intense to be subtle.
RIGHT! Just wanted to ask whether the game will have the option to speed up the text speed? :D
Nope. Is it not fast enough?😮
AAAAAAH, I'M SORRY ABOUT REPLYING AFTER 3 MONTHS :C But, eh, yes, if possible since I read quite fast and my wrists are not as good as they used to, so double clicking all the time kinda hurts my hand after some time, unfortunately.
Hmm... it would be difficult to implement as some sacrifices would have to be made. It'll be unlikely. I can't promise anything😅
I don't know if it helps, but the Android version might be less of a strain?
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I would choose Edel first because we meet him first and he's really cool. He's also a very very pretty man so I would obsess over him the most, and he just seems like his route would be more interesting.

Can't wait to check this game out when it releases :D
The game has a problem with Android administration. Can you fix the problem?
I don't know what that means... someone had already reported that it works for them, so if it's not installing at all, then it might be a compatibility issue which I could do nothing about, sorry.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I think I'd have to go with Edel, neither love interest is the type id usually go for they tend to act a bit too airheaded. Edel mostly seems to do it around his boss, so I do prefer him then theres the dark hair plus multi color eyes and thats just so dam fine lol

i cant get past where estella says she loves henry on android the game crashes
also is the only endings death because its all I can get
Is that the garden scene? Does it always crash there or just once? I'll check. Thanks for testing out the Android version!
As for your question: https://itch.io/post/9162406
it is the first time you see the boss and ive tried 3 times it crashed
Huh, so at the party? Does the game just close?
Might be device compatibility? Since I've had some people test it and they've completed the demo in theirs... 😅

2. My favorite scenes were the ones with her friends and brother. The mutual teasing and "I've got your back" is great to see, especially when I dislike seeing the og heroine as a scheming manipulator or a doormat to let the villainess shine. Also the accurate sibling representation. <3
3. They are villainous enough for me. I thought they had the right amount of charisma and in the grey for me to not be turned off. Plus their voices are nice.
4. This is fun speculation but I was looking through the faq and noticed that the answer for whether we'd get more love interests was rather... vague. So I started thinking of who would fit the criteria, and Teresa mentioned that that there were 4 ros in the og game. So far, we've seen three in the demo: the prince (confirmed non-romancable), our brother (nope), and Henry is already taken. So that leaves the fourth ro who has not appeared yet. With current knowledge he'd be my bet if another route is added.
Also realized I skipped a question just after I posted lol. Will definitely look forward to the full release!
so uh i died edel killed me oof
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCHH🤭
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
I FEEL LIKE I'D WANT TO CHOOSE EDEL'S ROUTE FIRST CUS HE SEEMS LIKE A FUN CHARACTER
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I WON'T SAY I HAVE SPECIFIC PREFERENCES BUT I LOVE IT WHEN MC AND EDEL INTERACT (Even though half of the times they interacted was when Edel tried to kill her😭)
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
YES I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY ITYT
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
YEAAH
-Other comments are welcome!
I LOVW THE GAME SO MUCH AND I'M EXITED ROR THE FULL VERIONNN
I ALSO LOVE YOUR GAMES AND ARTSTYLE SO MUCH<33
Im actually so in love with Edel bro
Does anyone know when the real thing comes out
What a demo!! I had a lot of fun with this one :D
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Probably Vincenzo. Since a good chunk of the demo (the engagement) centers around him, it'll be interesting to see what comes of it. Also, he sparkles a lot.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Tea with Estella and Henry! It's super refreshing having the original otome protagonist be a good friend and not a twist villain (haha... unless?). I also loved all the hilariously unexpected sprites (Vincenzo holding all the muffins and that one grin Edel makes).
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Yes! :D
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Definitely, in fact Edel being nicknamed the bad end butler was perfect because that was exactly what I pinpointed him to be. This one can and will murder Teresa in a heartbeat.
-Other comments:
-Teresa is an excellent protagonist. She's got a really strong and relatable voice, and it's a delight seeing her poker face contrasted with the little thought bubble chibis (brilliant idea, by the way.)
-I liked the terminology you can click on! Even if I already knew what most of the terms meant, Teresa's commentary made the explanations entertaining and smoothly linked back to the story.
-As usual, your art style and storytelling thus far is a delight (I've played through Pre-Odyssey and the jester game before this and they were both great)! I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for Teresa and the crew. In the meantime, I'll be hunting down the bad endings in the demo.
i love the web crashin
so am i just suppose to die?
Were you killed at the end of the demo? Cause then, no.
yeah! I was wondering if that was the end
It's not the end of the demo until you reach a message that says it's the end of the demo.
I absolutely love this game. It is interesting and exciting.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Vincenzo. He's my favorite type of villain + I love chocolate chili muffins and I officially declare that he has taste =3
-What's your favorite scene/event?
All. Your writing is great.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Definitely.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes.
I'm looking forward to the release and wish you luck !
help the prince is so ugly😭
spoilers , answering questions ^^
~ whose route would you choose first ? why ?
edel's !! while i do like vincenzo, i have a burning passion for his trope and honestly can't wait to see him warming up to teresa.
plus he's silly. in his own villainous way.
~ what's your favorite scene ?
it was close, but i'd say the muffin scene. just screwing edel over and forcing him to eat the muffin gave me joy. plus i personally love spicy muffins (despite how little they're talked about + how weird they are), and seeing a nobleman inhale them is humorous to me.
~ are you interested in playing the full release ?
ABSOLUTELY. the cliff hanger was criminal. i wanna know more about the two of them </3
~ are the LIs villainous enough for you ?
i'd say they were. they weren't villainous enough for me to be completely repulsed by them, but they weren't heroic either. they're just committing crime and doing jobs no matter how heinous, and that's pretty cool.
~ other comments :
did anything in particular in the 'isekai but i romance villains' genre inspire you, like a specific piece of media or anime ? or do you just like the genre in general ^^
is teresa inspired by anyone ? did you base her off of yourself ?
teresa is honestly so relatable and understandable. she isn't an annoying mary sue, but she also knows when and when not to act impolitely. i love her >>
and i love the gif for the thumbnail, the first time i saw it i was completely awestricken !! it's a minor detail, but i adore it xx
Thanks for answering the questions!
*MAYBE SPOILERS*
____________________________________________
Now, for your questions-
>I wouldn't say anything specific inspired this, but rather, the whole genre of otome isekai/transmigration manhwas, webtoons, LNs and animanga did. So- it's a mishmash of tropes and elements from otome isekai and other adjacent series. I wanted to make something familiar, yet original for fellow otome isekai fans, and myself, of course.
-That's why I won't say that this is a 'survival otome', but an 'otome isekai otome'. -You have survival, you have contract marriage (engagement), you have magic, you have s*hitty family members- and maybe more to come :)
>Hm. I wouldn't say Teresa is based off me. I'd say she's based off otome players?😂I wanted to make an MC who is an 'ordinary woman/girl' in every sense. She can't fight, she's no genius cook, she's no peerless doctor... she's just an otome game otaku trying to find time to play with her 2D husbandos after work until truck-kun came knocking.
>Thanks, I'm glad you liked that thumbnail💞
I made an account just to comment here! I love this! I hardly find ones with such roles and plot! I love the internal monologue and expressions of the mc! This is actually wat I have been looking for (I have been invested too much in isekaid villainess roles)! I'm so excited for the full release! Oh yah I tried the Android test built, it worked beautifully!
Thanks for testing the Android build!🥰
i didnt expect this to be this good ! i love how unhinged the Lis are like theyre actually evil especially edel i cant wait to uncover more and find out if theyll do messed up stuff in their routes plus i love that the mc has friends estelle and henry are so adorable cant wait to play the full release.
Hiiii! :D I absolutely love this game and will be buying the Early Bird tier as soon as I can. That being said, I have two questions.
1) Will the MC be able to pet Vincenzo/Edel's hair aaaand will Edel ever have a blushing sprite? :>
2) What program did you use to draw the sprites? They're gorgeous :")
1. I wonder about that😏and can you imagine Edel ever blushing?😀
2. Thanks >//<! I use Painttool Sai to draw!
will it go on steam
Question and answer has been added in FAQs!
SPOILERS!!! (answering questions)
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Vicenzo's!!!!!! I'm a sucker for guys like him in games/ novels/ manhwas
-What's your favorite scene/event?
the part when we met at the ball! well- more of when we danced? when he told me to meet him in the garden I was scared asf, but after taking a break from my computer and walking away...it kind of had me swooning ngl (don't ask me what part of that made me swoon. just know I was giggling to myself for a good 5 minutes)
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
More of talking to the actual love of my life with my favorite "isekai but falling for the villain's" trope? idk... I'll think about it- (OF COURSE ID PLAY THE FULL RELEASE??!?!!? EVEN IF IT COSTS MY COLLAGE SAVINGS.)
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
made my heart thump. (take that as you will because any and all ways you are thinking of are 100% accurate.) but yeah! I like how discrete and Evil they are, definitely could be eviler but I think id get nightmares about hot guys coming to kill me-
-Other comments are welcome!
Do you have siblings? because you wrote the FL and the twin brother so well!! while Viceny (my baby boo bo bear) is trying to wed the FL, she and her brother are (kinda sorta) fighting. but when I agreed to the month's trial he seemed genuinely concerned. its the first time I've seen a sibling dynamic that the brother isn't just evil or overly doting, (or...yk, in love with his sister..ew) you made it ACTUALLY realistic for twins/ siblings close in age, bickering but still loving each other.
looking forward to the official game!! keep up all of your amazing work!!
Thanks for answering the questions!
And yeah, I actually do. I have two younger brothers and the youngest one
isforced tohelps out with the game testing (and VA screening)😂Never felt so scared during a game IN MY LIFE til this. i love how relatable the FL was and I genuinely felt scared as hell when I heard the heartbeats or when the screen got red.
loved this game, love ALL of your games and I hope for many mannny more in the future! (but for my sake, PLEASE END UP FINISHING THIS GAME! I love the demo but I need my future husband Vic to swipe me up off my feet)
OMG I LOVED THIS GAMEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! it was SUPER GOOD!!!! i just have a ~few~ questions!
when will it come out? like the full game? When the full game comes out will it still be on the browser? and does Vicenzo have a blessing too?
TY FOR THE AMAZING GAMEEE <33333333333
The full game is (hopefully) for full release next year.
For other questions, you can refer to the FAQs page!
Okay thanks so much!!!!
Spoilers? I'm answering the questions.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Probably Edel only because it seems like the demo was Vicenzo focused. Honestly I love both of them so much already.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
Edel leading us through the garden. And trying to figure out how tf not to die there.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Hell yeah! I am so excited!
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you? -Other comments are welcome!
DEFINITELY. They are both unhinged in their own special little ways and I love them both.
Answering the questions, so spoilers beware!
Lots of fun playing this, I'm looking forward to the full release!! I also had NO idea Edel could actually kill you till I read these comments, I must be lucky.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Definitely Vicenzo's. Not to say I don't love Edel, but I really enjoyed all the interactions with Vicenzo, and I found myself being as nice as possible to him (sometimes to Edel's detriment) even after I swore I wouldn't pick favourites yet. What can I say, I'm a sucker for feminine guys.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I really enjoyed both the scenes where we told on Edel to Vicenzo. They were silly, and it was cute watching Vicenzo defend us, even if it was played up slightly. I also liked the sibling moments we got during the proposal scene.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Absolutely! I'd give some money too if I had any, maybe next pay (o´▽`o)
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes! Even though I wasn't aware they could actually kill me, I was already on edge around Edel, and I was cautious with my choices when I was around them. Really good job! (๑>◡<๑)
**SPOILERS**
Kind of? I'm answering the questions.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Edel, from the moment he took off the mask, I was already drooling for him... Evil babe with a hint of sarcasm? Hell yeah, sign me in.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
The moment where Edel carries me, I know how it sounds, but hear me out, before he killed me, it got me kicking my feet and sh.
Ohh, and that little moment where Edel is forced to eat a spicy brownie, peak comedy.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Yeah, I'm broke, but I'll manage.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
Yes, they are just villainous enough for me to fall in love and not feel like I'm an horrible person after! :D
-Other comments are welcome!
I loved it, I'll be waiting patiently for the full release!
I'll come back for the full release!! :D
Just now I realized this isn't a full game yet
wahhh
I had such a fun time playing this demo! I can’t wait for the full release. I’m such a sucker for a villainess plot and this game seems to more than deliver. Great characters, funny and relatable protagonist, a super intriguing plot? I honestly couldn’t ask for more.
-Whose route would I choose first? And why?:
I’d choose Vicenzo’s route first. I wasn’t completely interested in him at the beginning of the demo but he definitely won me over as it went on. I’m interested in learning more about him and his CLEARLY ulterior motives.
-My favorite scene/event?
My favorite scene would have to be the scene where Vicenzo comes to ask for Teresa’s hand. It was such a great scene and I really enjoyed watching Teresa and Erik interact more. Clearly there’s a warmness between the two but with that oh so familiar sibling flair.
-Am I interested in playing the full release?
Absolutely!
-Are the LIs villainous enough?
Yep. I felt on edge plenty of times when making choices and felt I couldn’t let my guard down. You can tell both Edel and Vicenzo have something going on behind the scenes but I felt like I had to be careful to not pry too much which would be realistic considering their positions.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Vincenzo. I love the dynamic and banter between him and Teresa, as well as the subtle hints that he might actually have some genuinely care for her. Sure yeah he is the shady as shit, but he has moments were he genuinely apologizes to her for getting her dad involved, which also leads to some intrigue on his own family. I'm interested to find out more about him and his plans in the game.
(Bonus Reason: He reminds me of two of my favorite characters, Izaya Orihara from Drrr!! and Xellos from Slayers)
-What's your favorite scene/event?
It's a tie between the Garden conversation between Estrella & Henry ( Luv these two, They must be protect at ALL COST!) and The Muffin X scene when Edel is forced to eat after he teases Vincenzo about Teresa liking him more. After seeing his reaction, I kinda wonder what it would be like if I did accept the muffin XD
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Oh 100% YES!! Just added it to my VN that I'm looking forward to in the upcoming year.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
*Stabbed by Edel 7 times on first play* ...yes...these are some vile LIs ^^'
This was an absolute fun demo playthrough! Your characters/dynamics have always been intriguing and investing in your games, and it surely shines here. I can't wait to see more characters and learn more about the LIs and the Blessings systems too. That definitely caught my eye and I wonder how it will be used in the full release?
Overall, this was a 10/10 wickedly beautiful demo!
It just stops at her name is Teresa, why is that and how do I fix it?
What do you mean? You're supposed to choose her name. If you're ok with Teresa, just click enter?
weird, it didn't let me do that, I'll try it again
it happened to me, you just have to either touch enter or delete the name and write the one you want, took me some time to figure out lol
OMG I LOVE VICENZO SO MUCH AHHH MY CUTIE PATOOTIE POOKIE BEAR LOVELY BABY
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Vicenzo, he sounds like a completely deranged but also fake dude. I love those kind of characters the most. Edel is too aggressive for my liking, since we have to be REALLY careful while talking to him. But with Vicenzo, we can get by as long as he's sure that we're not threating his main objective. Plus, Vicenzo fits my type more, I love smiley men in games XD.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
The one where Vicenzo keeps insisting to people to call him by his name instead of his surname. On one side, I feel like it's a clue for his past/a hidden event (like maybe he actually hates his own family? or maybe adopted?? Pardon me because I read too much novels).
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
YES! I hope I'd have enough money and time to play this by the time it releases the full version.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
For Vicenzo, I definitely think that he's dark enough to fit the "leader of a villain gang" type. While for Edel... I personally think he's too unstable and it makes it hard to survive around him. Or maybe it's because in the demo we don't have many options around him so the second you arouse his suspicion, you'd get a bad ending.
SPOILER for my struggles in playing this demo:
I'm ashamed to say it's really hard to get a good ending in this one. I literally have to replay it like more than 6 times, and by the end I figured out why I kept failing, turns out it's because I tried to be a smarta*s in front of Edel when we first met and asked him about the Boss. LOL. And that's why even if I already tried a lot of choices in the replays, since I thought we have to be a smarta*s to Edel, he always ends up k-worded me T^T.
I don't know if many people experience the same thing (where they keep getting the bad ends because of that one thing), but if it is, I think it'd be better to share a PDF about tips on getting both the good/bad ends? Since it'd be easier that way than digging through the comments. That's just my two cents, and also I love this game! Good work you did here <3
