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 stared at the route selection for like 5 minutes tbh. BUT THE CLIFFHANGER IS WILD GANG.
NO LITERALLY I WAS LIKE "uhm......guys.....uhm...............guys..." i ended up blind picking.
