This VN has an extremely unique style to the characters! In fact, the visual presentation overall impressed me quite a lot. The scenes are nice to look at, and the portrait animations are a clever detail. (A scene comes to mind where Remilia and Flandre are visually drifting from side to side to reflect what's going on.)
I was particularly surprised by how deep the storytelling is. Although I noticed the romance side of the story being slightly compact, I was very intrigued with the way that the characters' backgrounds and personalities are explored - and how well it pairs with the setting.
The gallery is also a really cool section. I always enjoy seeing things like this in games, but this one goes above & beyond with the way that it shows the portraits and variants. (The subtle details on some of the characters' parts were fun to find, such as Patchouli's subtle shine on the Magic Cast variants.)
Overall, this was a fascinating story to experience! Your team did amazing work on this game!
I am a fan of RemiPatchy and I like the way they are written here, as well as the sister dynamic between the Scarlets. I also think the plot and connection between the characters fit the lore very well, so big ups. If I were to provide any critique, it'd be that I wish it was longer (even though its already 1000+ words) for longer burn between Remi and Patchy's romance, as it feels like the physical affection ramped up quite quickly, but hey! still good considering it's supposed to be a jam vn. Great job!
A visual novel lives or dies on its writing, and this one is very much thriving. A most pleasant read over a very appropriate cup of tea. Lovely character portraits too, with lively animation to match the scene.
I've never ever dabbled in patchremi, and I think after playing this I might check out a doujin or two. Im hooked.
I really enjoyed the story and the characters. With remi being protective and worried over her flan, and gaining patchy's trust as the story goes on. Flan being a little silly gal despite the circumstances. And patchy being patchy. I also really like the dynamics, obviously with remi and flan. But, patchy and remi interacting with bickering or regular conversation and getting comfortable with one another throughout is something that I didn't know I needed till now.
The music was a nice listen, the art was cute and had a style that I enjoyed, and (keeping it brief to exclude spoilers) the setting/story was a nice take on a backstory. Really enjoyed the game!
as a huuge patchremi supporter THANK YOU FOR THIS GAME!! the visuals and designs for everyone is stunning and the origin of....no i won't spoil it is so creative! i liked remi being protective and worried for poor flan, and it was very fun to see the back and forth between remi and patch and how they challenge each other, and then remi despite being so proud of herself playing servant for patchy hehehe truely a silly creature indeed
great stuff i enjoyed it a lot :)
It was a pleasure to serve you some patchremi. I'm very happy you liked it! SDM (or technically pre-SDM here) character dynamics are always fun to write. Remi needs to be put in her place sometimes. Thank you for the kind words about the visuals and story.
