This is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I can't believe my eyes. When the full vers gets released and it costs money, take everything I got! (Well uh.. I got 5 cents to begin this with..!)
this is literally my first time commenting on itch but HOLY I LOVED THIS DEMO. IT'S SO UNIQUE TO THE OTHERS I'VE PLAYED. Once the full release drops, I'm running straight to buy/play it. Aisa will be on my mind 24/7 until then. I NEED THEM!!! As soon as I heard their (I'm not sure of their pronouns but i'd love to know </3) voice, that was it for me. I HAVE TO KNOW MORE OF MY BELOVED AISA!
[Spoilers for anyone who hasn't played the game yet]
Hello, I don't know if you've played through the whole scene where it's mentioned or not, but it's directly mentioned in the game : the text will say which key to press to see and to turn off energy (I don't remember the exact keys, so do check what the text says, but for example, the text will mention that "you press w to see energy", then all you have to do is press that letter to see the energy, and the other key indicated later to turn it off). So if you just play through the game, it will be explicitly mentioned, don't worry :)
Holy- I really enjoyed playing this demo! I'm already attached to the characters (*whispers* kayn i love you) and the plot is so interesting. Can't wait for the full release! :D
Well the Devs loose sales, since people from specific Regions can´t buy their Games on Steam anymore. Especially not titles aimed at adult audiences or too old to be having a rating ones. That´s why they need alternatives like Itch.io to sell them to us still, since only Steam agreed to some nonsense that locks away these titles since 2020 in Germany and Brazil.
Also adult Gamers get treated like kids by Steam now since they refuse to add a proper age verification. So its sad i can only see Demos of many Otomegames here and not purchase them here instead, where they aren´t an issue. So only seelling on Steam will leave out big parts of the Gaming community who will glaldy purchase them via GoG or here...it´s not like Steam is the only way to buy PC Games from.
Yeah, that's true. I have already found like 7 otome games (demos/full versions) which are available here but not on Steam anymore. Also I have heard the Steam age rating system is too strict. Worst case would be if we forget about the games which we wanted to get on Steam as they got restricted.
Okay, I had to come back and make a comment on this demo because while I played other games, I couldn't help but look back and sigh a little and long to be playing this one. How lovely, how comforting it was. It looks fantastic, of course, and the way the words glide onto the page was so smooth and felt so nice. (With the exception of Etza's introduction, where the text became less smooth before returning to smooth again at the end when the MC is leaving?) Anyway, the more I read, the more I was like, "shit, it's just a demo, and I can't see where this GOES."" While rare, I was genuinely interested in all of the MCs and heartbroken when I had to choose. (Actual note from playthrough: "I don't know I like them all :(")
i really enjoyed this game!!! the ui is absolutely gorgeous, and the voice acting and instrumentals are amazing! i love the fact that theres a customizable pronouns option (as someone who loves to interchange their pronouns) and how much freedom there is for character customization (pronoun & personality wise), i think it really gives this game a slight edge!
the story so far is really interesting and im really excited to see where it goes! all the characters are loveable and interesting in their own ways, and the cgs and world building are truly truly wonderful!
all in all, i loved the demo a lot and there is so so so much potential for alaris and i'm super excited to see where it goes!
came across intertwine and i loved Van :) i was excited to jump into alaris when i found out about this gem!! the UI is gorgeous.. . i love the celestial theme and how inclusive it is! I really appreciate the content warning and how kindly written it is. sometimes i just often see a list of tags which is fine but how you wrote it is a much more inclusive and kind way to introduce and just let the audience know what they're getting into. speaking of they, love love LOVE how customizable the player is!! from the inclusive pronoun selection (literally havent seen multiple pronouns implemented in a game before) to the personality traits that develop and change certain dialogue, it gives your MC a lot more character (lol) and helps the player immerse.
the writing is so beautifully written i couldn't believe it is this high quality!! character wise fenir is my favorite :3 i do love dorky librarians and cutie tsunderes :). hes so cutieful <3 and the art???? is so pretty i couldn't believe it omg. all the characters are so beautiful. especially etza they're so beautiful and slay.
the only minor minor thing that bothered me is when the characters are on screen but the tops of their heads get cut off especially in the first chapter... it could be just something on my end or maybe MC is short and cant see the tops of the characters heads ? idk if its a stylistic choice or technical thing on my part. i was like dang can yall crouch down a bit.... i wanna see ur pretty faces
i came into this too late to see the beta route but i cant wait for the full game to come out!!!!!1 i am excited to see how this story evolves. thank you dr crescence i wish the best for ur phd pursuit and finishing this game with the rest of the team o7
I really enjoy the UI, I think the story is intriguing and has me interested in figuring it all out. All of the LIs are captivating I also really like the personality quiz and how you can tailor your MCs personality how you like. On the subject of the mc I really enjoy how they interact with the LIs they aren't too passive or too abrasive which I feel like a lot of MCs can skew too far towards one or the other which is a nice change of pace. I also really like MCs power. The music is also really nice as well and fits the theme I get ghibli vibes from it which is a huge compliment.
A con for me though is I share the sentiment of another person that commented why is there such a disparity between the character art in the banner and the actual sprites in the game. It feels I don't know that dishonest is the word but misleading maybe? To be drawn in by the banner and then seeing the in-game sprites catches me off guard. The background is rich and detailed, but the character sprites don't have the same feeling to them and they're all suffering from same face syndrome I believe. I am glad I decided to play it despite being confused about the difference, but I also wonder how many people didn't try because of the discrepancy. Overall, I'm excited to see how the story ends and learn more about the LIs and see how the routes end.

I so wish i could buy it here as well, since it somehow got blocked on Steam for me.
I guess because of Steams restrictions due to the age rating? It's so frustrating especially if you mainly get the games on Steam.

Hi, "Alaris" (and the demo) are currently not available in my country. Could you fill out the "content rating" that is now required for germany? You can find more info here: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/eventcomments/4302697419069722403/
Thanks in advance :)

NO LITERALLY I WAS LIKE "uhm......guys.....uhm...............guys..." i ended up blind picking.
when's the full version coming out ???
