Very nice narrative game and a great atmosphere. I really liked the art with its mix of photos and drawn characters. Well done :)
really love the music in this one, good job on that!
They got married and adopted all the cats on first try let's gooooooo.
It looked interesting. I don't know much about visual novels, but the art was beautiful. Congratulations.
Always love to see narrative games in this jam! The art is beautiful, and even the non-drawn bgs look blend in really well with the gaem’s aesthetics. I personally think the plot is a bit shaky, and the pacing does not click for me, but it’s quite poetic as well so it was pleasant to read. Also queer content is always nice :)
It's crazy that you were able to get this out within the span of a few days! I personally find story and art to be the hardest parts of a game but you definitely nailed it here!
The game was beautiful and I really enjoyed the art and story but I only made two decisions and got to the credits, did I miss something?
great art! loved the mystic background music!
Great art, the story was ok, but not the level of Tarrantino, you've made a great work with system of saves!
Beautiful artwork, loved the witch's design! I loved the sound design as well, calm and aids the to story. so well Great work guys!
LOVE THE ART! LOVE THE STORY! I am not a big fan of visual novels but fantastic job. I would like to see more gameplay, mabey somthing like I did in the form of "minigames"
Thank you !! We did think about fight scenes/QTEs/Minigames ! Especially since we imagined some fight scenes... We couldn't implement them in time but maybe in the full release since we really want to keep working on this game !
We're glad you liked it <3
Loved it <3
Nice art and backround music, I would like more interactions as it was more like reading a book.
if the backgrounds had some sort of movement or animation it would really tie it in with the nice sound effects!
Visual novels aren't really my thing but it's really nicely done! I want to come back to it later. The mixed-media style is cool!!
I'm not sure if I missed things. It gave me only a couple of choices. I just kept clicking through the story and then it was quickly the end. Would different things have happened if I'd made different choices? I liked the art and I would like to see more of it. :)
thank you for your comment !
So to give context, we did write many endings with different paths (side with huntress, side with witch) giving you different romance options. (Dating sims vibes), but for a game jam, we went with one main ending for now, since we didn’t want to make something too long for the play tester (and couldn’t do it in time).
As for the art, our artists thank you for your kind comment ! If you want more you’ll have to wait for the full game :p (or check them on insta @tomaturj @tar_tines)
Love the unconventional character design (for me at least). Am no writer, but I think the writing has a good flow.
I really love the artwork. It’s gorgeous and draws you right into the atmosphere. The world feels immersive, even in this short jam version. I can definitely see this working beautifully as a full visual novel
Thank you so much ! We’re happy the story felt immersive, it wasn’t easy with so little time. The team and I are definitely excited to keep working on this game, we got too attached to our own characters lol!
Love the painted aesthetic for the realistic backgrounds and the character designs. Nice job!
The art is super beautiful, spectacular designs, good work.
