okay literally it's almost midnight on the last day of voting, i have not gotten far into the game but what i have seen is AMAZING.  like it's so pretty, from the main menu to the GUI to the art to the backgrounds. everything about this SCREAMS beauty  and passion and love and it's killing me that i don't have like 18  hours straight to play it.

thank you for submitting the game to the jam i'll definitely be looking at the rest  of it after i get some sleep

This game was clearly a labor of love, which is so awesome! It was really cool being able to experience a culture that is not my own and the backgrounds were so warm. I loved the character designs as well, and that character creator was so cool! I had a few errors with sprites appearing more than once on screen, but the gaming experience was generally smooth. Big fan of the art style too since it complimented the whole vibe :D

Definitely, thanks so much for posting it to the jam! I never would've been able to find a game like this on my own and I'm so glad I did :D

Your game is absolutely gorgeous! I really enjoyed it. Also, I was super impressed by the customisation options for the player!


The art is beautiful and the story you tell in the game is very complex and in-depth. I think you convey the difficult emotions of all characters really well. 

I think you did an amazing job! I got emotional playing your game, so I definitely think you deserve a lot of praise for this hard work.


(I did see some typos, and I thought it would be important to let you know that I got some error messages in the character design menu while cycling through some options. There were also some sprites that would stay on screen in scenes where they shouldn't be. But obviously these are minor things that didn't cause a lot of problems!)

Thank you ๐Ÿฅบ my goodness, I don't doubt that you found bugs. I was crunching a lot and this is definitely a beta that has to be patched HAHAHA! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will go over the entire script once the jam is over, so that I may be able to upload it on itch! 

Thank you once more for the review ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ™‚โ€โ†•๏ธ I'm glad you've enjoyed it and I can't wait to perfect it more!

Of course!! Don't worry too much about the bugs. I think it is really impressive you got the game to where it is now within the time you had available!

Oh goodness, it was such a crazy undertaking ๐Ÿ˜ญ I was working 24/7 but it's so rewarding to be able to finish something like this!
