Such an amazing game. The writing is so different from any VN I've ever played even the NPCs feel so alive and characterised and because of that it became so immersing. I really like the MC's personality and how other people view them, their personality can be understood well from the little bits and pieces as you play on and I really loved it. Overall it felt like I was reading a book which I guess it IS a VN so 😅 but yeah you get the idea.. I'm super excited for the full game.
what a beautiful vn! so interesting and positve! The caracters are great and the story is well told. Thank you so much for this! Im definitely buying the full version when its out.
Hi I've been loving the demo so far! The art, writing, and character design are so good!
I was a bit confused since the version I downloaded (windows) says it's v1.0 on the about page, whereas this page and the devlog makes it look like its already on v2.2? The game ended for me (SPOILER) right after Nim came back from their first night out with Satyrs, but the log on the extended demo says there's an opportunity to flirt with all the love interests, so I feel like maybe I'm missing something? If creator/anyone else knows what I'm talking about lmk, otherwise I'll be excited to play the full version when it comes out! :)
One thing this game absolutely STICKS the landing on is the aesthetic. It's not afraid to over-indulge and sticks to it's themes and tropes in a way that just doesnt seem to get old in the way you'd expect. The setting is interesting and it doesn't take very long for a clear plot to be set in place which keeps the story from feeling too discombobulated, keeping it interesting. Character designs aren't too complicated but keep their charm. Personally at first wasnt a huge fan of the mc's design but I have to say that it grew on me. Going back to the story, I like how, for now, there seem to be two plots that intertwine with one another(ie mc wanting to find out more about themself being a changeling/their past + finding the cure for Nim's affliction.). Small little thing I picked up on but much appreciated was how well executed the dream sequence was; hit the nail on the head with how unaware a person is at the beggining of a dream that it is one! All in all, an enchantically endearing tale that I look forward to reading more of.
I'd say the singular nit-pick I have is that we don't particularly get to know the Satyr before we're presented with the first relationship-esque choice in the game. Quite frankly I don't imagine anyone at this point would've made up their mind yet on who they want to pursue, let alone the Satyr whomst we lack crucial relationship development with like we had with the goblin and the elf.
I am Jose Luis Benítez Díaz, a student in Translation and Interpreting at the Pablo de Olavide University, Seville (Spain). I am looking for a cool game to translate into Spanish for my thesis and I have come across your game. I wondered if you would find it interesting to translate the demo into Spanish. The whole localization process would be under the supervision of my tutor, a localization specialist.
This game is AMAZING. I know this is only the demo but I am already hooked. This game has already shown great quality with the starting content given. The art style is beautiful, the story is well set despite being the beginning, the backgrounds are gorgeous and the music is as well. I could find myself playing this for hours when the full game releases. I can't wait for that too
should there be a TW in the beginning, because near the beginning it feels like attempted SA, or at least lacking any indication of consent/ triggering for that. sorry if I'm just being too sensitive.
Alright, pretty good time so far. Just finished the demo and it is insane that the experience was so short given the quality. The humour and vibes were definitely S tier. I liked the character art and it was just in general a good time. I feel like I would have enjoyed seeing Klafka with more fun expressions though, otherwise I cannot wait to see what the overall product will look like upon completion. Really glad to know the project is still being worked on by such a passionate indie dev. You can really feel the passion that the creator feels in every moment of the short excursions that you take here. Though there was an annoying thing with certain songs having trouble looping, but it's minor stuff. I hope the creator enjoys making it as I did playing the demo. Seriously, the only crime here is how much more I am yearning for. That just speaks to the quality.
I've recently got this game and honestly i had a blast playing. I really love the art style and also the plot is truly wholesome. I really loved the demo and i'm dying to know when the full release will be
Edit: just saw that the initial estimation of the release date was in 2022...we are already in 2023 and this just makes me more excited

cool game, but if it had more customisable options for the MC (eg. skin tone, hairstyle) that would be even better
definitely agree on that. one of the very few downsides
You said it would be finished by 2023.... PLEASE UPDATE IM BEGGING
I'm pretty sure the date change to somewhere in 2024
is it complete now?
tbh idk, haven't kept up with this VN 😭😭
it's 2024 now :)
This game was really cute!
"You can't dance with all the people you like." Why not!? I has two hands for two people! What point of two hands if not to hold two people!?
Is this game still in development, complete, or on hiatus?
The game is still in development! Progress is slow going since I'm prioritizing other things but occasionally I post updates on twitter
Thanks so much!! Good luck with everything <3
THE ABESOLUTE BEST. NIM MATCHES MY ENERGY WE ARE A POWER COUPLE. THROW ME LIKE A LOG!!!!!!!!!
