This UI is so unique and elegant! I only just started but the track that plays in the beginning is such a cool blend of hypnotizing yet haunting. Excited to see where this goes!
wooww <3 I adored the layout.. really gives it a fairytale-type feeling.. I cried three times, it is a very beautiful story <3
Man what a good game! Sad but beautiful!
Wow, truly impressive. I was engrossed in the story right from the start, and the way that the UI, graphics, prose, and even the type face unify to create the dark fairy tale setting is immaculate. This entry in the Dandelion Set stands as quite the stark contrast to all the others, and it is no less potent for it.
The ending of the game suggests we may see more of it in the future. I very much hope that will indeed be the case.
I feel like this needs a response in poetry, but i do not have the time for that. I will be back to complete a fitting proposition.
Ooh I liked this a lot! The writing is lovely and lyrical, the pacing is nice and fast, and the characters feel very well-developed despite the story being on the shorter side. It was a gripping and evocative story from start to finish, I love the vibes and the lovely lyricism it was written with. Thank you so much for making this!!!
I really like the UI too, the scrolling textbox which takes up half the screen works well for the longer prose and the more lush paragraphs. It was a really good design choice (also the speaking sprites that change with the speaker name; another geat idea).
I do wish the preferences and save/load menus had been customised since the stock Ren'py doesn't really match the general aesthetic of the game (+ there's a few instances where Ilse is described wearing clothes which are different from her default outfit, but her outfit doens't change), but since this was made in a short timeframe I don't mind it too much. It would be nice to see an updated version of this in the future with a bit more polish re: the visuals, but the writing is incredibly strong as-is and I really did like it a lot!
ow.. just ow. that ending hurts.
The story was incredible, the ending was so emotional...I loved this. The layout was really pretty and the black screen+text was such a good choice to add. I love dark romance so much!!!!
