We need a full game STAT. That was beautiful and serene. Solenne, we miss you, come back. AMBROSE CAN YOU CALL ME. MY PHONE NUMBER IS-

I love this so much. I can't wait to see more of it!

The amount of character art just in this demo is wild, the whole experience is so cinematic and well choreographed! Really awesome game and a great concept, I definitely want to see the full thing!!

A very nice teaser of the game! It captured my attention immediately, very immersive!

It was a bit difficult with the text box showing up in different places on the screen, but I got used to it. It played well with the aesthetic. The character designs are great, too!

Good luck finishing this project!

That was a cool prologue! Would love to play the full game someday soon.

absolute ~ p e a k ~ premise and cinematography

only thing that took me out of my immersion was audio cutting out suddenly on transitions and music not looping properly (ambiences can also be a bit overwhelming at times), but i love the distinct personality that this has - as well as how everything blends together in establishing this personality.

looking forward to the full release !!

Thanks for the kind words, jnsa! Happy to hear you're excited for more. And not to worry, we're getting ready to release a post-jam polished build with those audio fixes soon!

 Yes please, I would like a soulslike dark fantasy romance. You already had me at the premise.  Love the character art and will surely follow to keep up with the project!  (also a wonderful UI as well!)
