It's such a charming game with great visuals and a lovely story!! I love each of the characters, especially those that only appeared for the first few minutes, and the world you've created!! I can't wait for the full version of the game!
Best visual novel I've played on this site! I really love how much personality you've given each character, and my favorite so far is Klafka!! I felt extremely comfortable playing this game, an atmosphere so nice I can't wait for release day.
A A A this demo was so nice to play! the art, music, and mechanics were so cozy and cottagecore gjjskghskjg the characters are all so likeable it's hard to choose just one of them (or maybe there's poly?? perhaps??) but overall it's really nice so far! great job :D
Hi LadyMeowSith. I have written an article about my experience with the demo for A Cottage Story a while back and would just like to share it here. I added a video above too. It's still such a delightful game and I wish you the best. https://mrdavepizza.com/a-cottage-story-visual-novel-review/
As someone whom loves the woods, herbal remedies, botany and fairies this visual novel with romance paths made me want to get lost into it's fairy ring of magic and fantasy.
The main protagonist is intriguing in themselves with their background story yet the other characters are so different and unique I was glad to see that your romance paths could be Fey themselves.
I can't wait to read more as the writing is very good and the art-work is beautiful. As a published author of fantasy fairy children books this visual novel is delightful to read over candle-light and I can't wait for the full game to be released.
Very cute game. The characters, music, and art are all enjoyable except for that loud bombastic song (you know the one). I'm looking forward to the full release.
Duuuude me and my friend just played the demo- it's almost 2 am now-and we LOVE it. We're so excited for the full game. You've done an amazing job and we're looking forward to it. Thank you! (:
it's a bit broken on the itch.io app - so i suggest you copy the link and paste it in your browser to download it :,) when you download it, just extract the zip file and click the .exe file !
I am sufficiently tempted make a beeline towards Nim's path. Very little of their dialogue fails to make me laugh.
I'm still trying to figure out what the hell was up with Michael, though. He was just kinda there and gone, and I have a feeling that can't be everything there is to him
I love this so much!! The characters feel so cute and genuine and the story is extremely well written! I'm totally crushing on Rufus and kind of hoping Michael will make an appearance sometime again 🥰 Thank you for all of your hard work Amy! I hope everything is going well for you :-)
I love this so much! The characters!!! And the wonderful backgrounds!!! Music is also great! Thank you for this, I'll be waiting for the game to be finished!
OKAY I LOVE THIS GAME SM!!!! IT MAKES ME RLLY RLLY HAPPY AND JUST AAAA <3 <3 I GOT RLLY UPSET WHEN MICHEAL WASNT A LOVE INTEREST BUT I RLLY RLLY ADORE THE GAME :D :D ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE SO UNIQUE AND,,,
JUST- GOOD JOB!! EVEN IF THE GAME ISNT COMPLETE YET
This game is fucking amazing! even though only the demo is out, im trying to work on a fandom page lol. this game has 100% become a hyperfixation and i am legit obsessed w it. im working on the page of the info ive personally gathered, but it might be completely off. BUT, it is sooo far from being done. So if you want, check it out :) <3 https://acottagestory.fandom.com/wiki/A_Cottage_Story_Wiki
omg this is insane!! I checked out the page and it's so detailed, you didn't miss a thing! Thank you for taking the time to create a wiki page, and it makes me happy that you enjoyed the game so much!
this was honestly a really cute and fun game, it doesn't take itself too seriously and i felt as someone who suffers from multiple chronic illnesses myself i related to the elf person a lot more than i thought i would. the character designs and personalities are unique, and the main character, the one you play as has a very interesting personality, making it easy for the player to project themself onto the character, making it more personal. i cant wait to play the full game :) 10/10 for character designs, beautiful background art, expressionate dialogue and relatable characters.
I think the demo thus far does a good job of establishing the game and its atmosphere a: The art is lush and appropriately storybook-like, and I'm particularly fond of the literal storybook title-screen, which ties in nicely with the occasional narration. It has a thoroughly fantasy/fairytale feeling, to the point where it's something of a shock when I remember it apparently takes place in modern times! The character art is vivid and clean and the writing is evocative without dipping into purple prose; the dialogue in particular does an excellent job illustrating the characters' personalities, which has me interested in seeing more of them in. The audio fits the scenes well and is generally warm and soothing, complementing the game's overall feel, and I appreciate the fact that there's going to be platonic routes as well as romantic ones! Everything looks excellent so far, and I look forward to playing the completed game!
If I went back in time and told my younger self that I fell for a fictional goblin I think they would be extremely confused. Great game by the way. :-)
I only played the demo version, but I really can't wait for the full one. I liked how you could also choose they/them as your pronoun (since not a lot of games have that option)
