Not sure this is the right kind of feedback, but here I go -
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
None...I might be doing this genre of game wrong, but I just made the choices which felt most true to what I understood the MC as (by the way, I think she's such a fun character - which might have backfired, cause now I'm more invested in her personal arc than in the romance).
That being said, I don't feel like the romance in this one is doing it for me, because there's such an imbalance of power. From what I could grasp, the only way to not be killed is either to gain favour with the LIs or to make a pretty unintuitive choice (one that, by all logical reasoning, would be an easily disprovable lie. I feel like our quick-on-her-feet, witty protag wouldn't tell an obviously bad lie). For me, enemies-to-lovers only works when each side has equal power, or there's the possibility of overcoming the power imbalance outside of the relationship (but this is most definitely a ✨very✨ personal preference that does not reflect badly on the game.)
-What's your favourite scene/event?
The brother-sister interactions and the protag weaselling her way into a discount. Also, the delightfully corny "iridescent sexy eyes revealed" trope.
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
Yes. I really enjoyed your other games.
-Are the LIs villainous enough for you?
I feel like the MC should be allowed her fair share of villainy/cunning to balance things out. Then, you can make the LIs as villainous as a religious figure in a cape et spade novel ♠️
-Other comments are welcome!
All that being said, I find all characters quite intriguing.
Did you consider including a no-romance-good-ending? I'm aware this might defeat the purpose of the game, and I'm sure the romance routes will be fantastic. However, since we're subverting tropes anyway, it could be interesting for our MC to expand her Mighty Social Circle of 3 with a few morally grey platonic relationships
Hello! I just finished playing the demo and finally!! saw''to be continued'' part. to be honest ı got murdered by this ''butler'' called Edel too many times! after playing the game again and again many times (with using skip button at this point) ı reached the true end of the demo which was clearly interesting one. Game was soo mysterious and beatiful to me ı liked it alot!!
ok from now on ı will talk about spoilers from demo
ok so from what ı got suprised is even though ı could tell Viscount was the leader he was clearly calm and polite to us even we could be ''dangerous'' for him. From what understood he wanted to monitor the Teresa so ıf she posses a danger for him he can end her life quietly but this is where ı think is kindness shows up because tbh ı both agree with Edel and Teresa about how could he just crush her and her family without effort and yet he chose to give her a chance even putting himself on the front line in this. Well ıts true that he is dangerous and probably strong but still.. showing himself to others might be dangerous for him either yet he did it (not to mention he told his butler not make people suffer.. kind guy for a villain). ıf there is anyone who got stuck in the game and couldnt reach the end there is my path on finally reaching the end:
-never talk about to boss with guy who has purple mask or you will end up dead -you can be kind to Viscount in fact ı always chose the kind ones (in my opinion) and ıt didnt end me -dont let Edel get away with whatever the hell he did to you immediately tell to Viscount -I did backtrack when he asked how do Teresa knows that stone is stolen and he didnt say anything to this
I didnt understand this ''flute'' thing and someone who was screaming badly but ı guess she foresee the future like story's original female main character?
from what ı saw here is my thought about this game ! firstly questions ^^: 1) Viscount obviously. ı don't like people who are rude or harmful to other even it seems ''necessary''. ı mean what's up with that creepy face and not funny teasing's? ıts not like ı hate Edel ı just don't find anything to find him ''likeable'' he reminds me of a timed bomb. Of course, Viscount is pretty dangerous one too but at least he won't do anything to you if you don't do anything to him.
2) probably siblings bickering and ı love all scenes with our MC and her friends ıdk ı love how Original MC of story and our girl is best friends and they actually look for each other. ı liked some scenes with Viscount to like the muffin part was actually pretty funny (being able to bully Edel is also a plus)
3)I am!! but unfortunalety ı dont have money to buy the game... ı guess ı can try to understand the story from future guides of the game? (ıf ıts ok ofc) or perhaps ı will get lucky and get money on my hands to spare...
I actually love this kind of otomes ıt is both funny but interesting. so thank you for you hard work ^^ ı really loved all the characters in the game they just look pretty original to my eyes and ı loved the fact that there is no big exaggeration in the story .. except the part where MC's friends were lining everything she did in the past...lol but thats fine ı think everything was on its place and that makes the game beatiful ı liked the voices too! not to mention main's cute emotion bubbles ı loved them so much! animations were cool too! again thank you for your hard work ^^
All I'll say is- you're on the right track in regards to your observation to the path. Nice observational skills👏
And dw, the full game won't be out in a while so you'll have time to save up or think over if you'd like to buy. There'll be more (free) demo updates at a later date too so... yeah!👍
I want to date Vicenzo so bad! Curious about why he seems to hate his surname! I really loved Teresa's personality and I am so excited to play this game!
Vin. Like another user said, Edel scares me too much at first brush. He is also definitely appropriately nicknamed the Bad End Butler and has murdered me several times now.
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I liked so much of it. I laughed when she said money. I loved torturing Edel through Vin. I loved the commentary in MC's head about how cute Estella and Henry are.
As someone who loves isekai otome game stories, this game felt like I experienced being isekaied into an otome game.
I really love Teresa she is just like me fr fr. Her personality is so funny, also that small chibi that appears inside her mind is so cute.
At first, I thought I'll just love Edel since Vicenzo is not really my type, but I ended up falling in love with Vicenzo more than Edel. I kept on giggling and squealing like a weirdo every time Vicenzo show up, damn.
The relationship between Teresa and Eric is really funny, I can feel how close they're as a sibling. The relationship between Estella and Henry is cute too, the more I see them interact the more I want them to just get married already.
Overall, I really love this game and can't wait for more. Yet another great game made by Anta. Good luck with the development!
Teresa when she looks at Estella and Henry bickeringflirting talking with each other :
I think I've gotten every bad end of the game so far, but what a fun game! I can't wait to see what happens, and what secrets we uncover. Definitely can't wait to see the finished product.
Getting the bad ends are super easy. I had to reload several times after being shown the treasure room because Edel took me out everytime. I think the key to the good end was being rude and unaccepting of them the entire time, at least, that is how I finally didn't get Edel's murder knife.
There are two ways to avoid the underground room bad end-
>The first is getting the right answer >The second is getting all the right answers to particular previous choices which will give you a free pass to whichever answer you give to the underground choice
So yeah! Think of it as 'all your choices matter' cause they can make later choices more difficult or easier. There isn't just one way to avoid the bad end. The same goes for the other bad end.
But you're on the right track- they are villains after all, so you have to have the mindset of how to deal with them!
I thought I was on the right path when Vin was like, "did she see how she was a scared rabbit, so cute" so I thought him liking MC was the path to safety. But I got death. I only succeeded once and it was when I was just rude/aloof the whole time. I thought, that makes sense? But then, how do the eventual smooches happen if she's like "don't touch me" forever ?😅 And then I didn't know if allying with the butler or calling him out was the right path. 😆
I usually always play blind the first time and then guides at that point. I expect this game to be harder to navigate because death is always round the corner with the villains always wondering if you're worth the effort of keeping her alive. Vin does have this ability of making you feel more comfortable since he's so silly.
This was such a fun demo! I love the premise and I love the drama of snare.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Probably Vincenzo's because he has a mildly calming presence but still has a bit of intrigue to him.Edel is a fun character, he just scares me a little too much to go for him on a first playthrough. I still like him, though!
-What's your favorite scene/event?
I like when I reject the flowers and Vin asks me what a more appropriate gift would be, and Teresa just says "Money." 'Cause I was like, "Honestly, same. Money or food."
-Are you interested in playing the full release?
ABSOLUTELY
-Other comments are welcome!
If I had one problem, it'd be the typos, but that doesn't really bother me too much.
This game had caught my eye because I love villain stories so much, learning the other side of the story is exciting.
Vice is actually my favorite so far, while Edel is interesting as a character and he will probably have an excellent story, but the red eye villain can not be denied.
The incident in the garden in the later part of the demo was unexpected and you bet I was going to use my fists!
So, first and foremost, I have to say I was amazed with the game: the artstyle was beautiful, the GUI was splendid, the music carefully picked, the voice-acting excellent, and the implementation of the sprites was certainly my favourite part of this game (it was dynamic without making me dizzy, so great)!
Regarding the story, I enjoyed it a lot! It was full of humour, which I appreciated, but I'm genuinely interested in the scenario around Snare! I also enjoyed the interactions between Teresa and the actual main couple of the otome, as they were funny but, even in general, it's always neat to see friendship in otome games! For the love interests, I had a lot of fun interacting with them freely! I didn't feel constrained at all and, like Teresa somehow, had fun going wild (I had a lot of fun bullying Edel).
Teresa was a great protagonist too! She was amusing and adorable! More seriously, her whole anti-"not like other girls" attitude made me laugh, her interactions with Eric were surprisingly sweet but also very funny! Finally, the set-up for her being a "thron amongst roses" was very well-done
Overall, I really enjoyed this entry! Good luck with the development!
EDIT: Sorry, I completely ignored the questions fertebfr
1) I think I'm on Vincenzo's, but I really find both of them fun... I guess I just had too much fun bullying Edel... 2) I do think the whole "proposal" scene was fun, and yet, I enjoyed seeing some brotherly support!
Gosh, it's only the demo but I already love it so much!! The story is really interesting, and I really enjoyed the many references to the otome isekai genre (starting from truck-kun xD). The way the MC also keeps mentioning the red flags and how she hates being called "interesting", "amusing" or "not like other girls" had me ROFL xDDD It unlocked a memory of all the times I've seen that happen in Japanese otome games and it was hilarious seeing the MC address this in such a funny way.
The art is, of course, gorgeous, and I absolutely love how much life everything has! Since the MC is known for keeping a poker face, it was great to see her "headspace chibi expressions" to know what her face actually looks like deep inside xDD I also really loved the coding effects done with the text, they made the story all the more immersive and captivating!!
I honestly love all the characters that appeared, especially the MC and the love interests. I'm first and foremost team Vicenzo (more kitsuneme characters, HELL YES!!) but I absolutely loved Edel as well (even if he's responsible for many bad endings omg mercy please). The voice actors were great as well and very fitting to their characters, imo.
I'm really invested in the storyline and am super excited to know more!! <3 Awesome job, Ant and your team!!
Oh, okay, I was team Edel at first, but now I guess I'm aiming for both? I legit thought Vicenzo wouldn't captivate me, however it happened. And happened quickly!
I like the dynamic of the characters, the way their mouths move and their expressions, with the silly ones being the cherry of the cake for me (especially Edel's. Everyone who played knows which one!)
I'm intrigued by the plot. MC's internal dialogue is so funny without being overdone and I love the atmosphere shift when something shady is going on. MC is honestly refreshing: homegirl be struggling with proper etiquette and I feel that. She isn't fulltime naive nor suspicious, she's just... a fun, relatable dorky girl since her first life.
Good luck with the game, I'll be following and supporting you!

Keep up the good work 🖤
Oh that's fine! And the MC definitely has an arc of her own😉
So if you're in it just for her story, then that's good too!😊
Looking forward to it 🖤

However, since we're subverting tropes anyway, it could be interesting for our MC to expand her Mighty Social Circle of 3 with a few morally grey platonic relationships
Due to spoilery plot reasons, a non-romance-good end is unlikely🤔
Those are the best kinds of reasons =))
I feel like your games do a great job at creating tridimensional characters, so I can't wait to get more drawn into the interactions with the LIs.
Good luck with the development!!
Hello! I just finished playing the demo and finally!! saw''to be continued'' part. to be honest ı got murdered by this ''butler'' called Edel too many times! after playing the game again and again many times (with using skip button at this point) ı reached the true end of the demo which was clearly interesting one.

The amount of animations and effects that I didn't know existed! I'm so thrilled! Definitely worth supporting!
Thank you so much for the support! <3
I want to date Vicenzo so bad! Curious about why he seems to hate his surname! I really loved Teresa's personality and I am so excited to play this game!
Well, that was a countless death I have
love this game, can't wait for more!!

Automatic buy for me.
The inner emotional gifs are genius.
I'm glad you like her inner thought bubbles😂
And I approve bullying Edel😌

Teresa when she looks at Estella and Henry
bickeringflirtingtalking with each other :That's exactly the feeling I wanted to convey for the game (being an isekai experience for the player) so I'm glad I captured it for you!🥰
Teresa is a proud professional third wheeler😏
I think I've gotten every bad end of the game so far, but what a fun game! I can't wait to see what happens, and what secrets we uncover. Definitely can't wait to see the finished product.
...And here I thought getting the bad ends would be hard 😅
Thanks for playing!

interesting. So there is a point system.
I thought I was on the right path when Vin was like, "did she see how she was a scared rabbit, so cute" so I thought him liking MC was the path to safety. But I got death. I only succeeded once and it was when I was just rude/aloof the whole time. I thought, that makes sense?

Vin does have this ability of making you feel more comfortable since he's so silly.
Getting that extra scene is actually a good thing!
You'll see. Such is the nature of enemies to lovers🤭
As for the butler... do you want a hint or would you rather figure it out yourself?
This was such a fun demo! I love the premise and I love the drama of snare.
-Whose route would you choose first? And why?
Probably Vincenzo's because he has a mildly calming presence but still has a bit of intrigue to him.Edel is a fun character, he just scares me a little too much to go for him on a first playthrough. I still like him, though!

If I had one problem, it'd be the typos, but that doesn't really bother me too much.
MC's guilty pleasures for this world... food, and money to buy even more food (what's the use of money without otome to spend on?!-MC)😂
Do you by any chance remember where you found typos?😲
Thanks! Updated them👍

*insert angry Teresa noises here*🤣
Thanks for taking the time to post! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! 💞
Edel bullies you, so you bully Edel. It's equivalent exchange😤

Facts! I was loving Edel but I was begging Vince to save me after a few bad endings 🤣
Thanks for taking the time to post!💞
I'm glad you like the characters so far🥰! Now time to hurt them /j (unless...😈)
Looks really cool :D
Thanks! ^_^
I legit snorted when I made Edel eat the muffins. I ratted him out every time he threatened me. HAHAHA Can't wait for more. (Here from Reddit, btw)
I would too tbh🤣
Thanks!
Oh, okay, I was team Edel at first, but now I guess I'm aiming for both? I legit thought Vicenzo wouldn't captivate me, however it happened. And happened quickly!

Anya PFP tells me which expression🤭Glad you liked that.
And I'm glad the MC came across as I intended😊
Thanks!
Your first paragraph is literally me
this game is very intresting! i look forward to it. ^^
also i love edel (i want to throw him to a wall )
Edel do be like that 😌
I came for Edel but I fell for Vicenzo. How dare you make this so captivating Anta!
Just had to donate...I love it and I can't wait for more <3
Aaah thank you so much! (I'm biased to Vicenzo myself🤭)
This was amazing
Wow you're fast. Thanks!🥰
I will look forward to the full release good luck with the work!
Thanks! 🥰
