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.
Ok so, I played Fenir's route since he immediately caught my eye. Are we meant not to be able to reach 100% affection in the demo? I got to 64% with Fenir and would love to know if I could do better than that.
you can reach 100%! it's only calculated off points you can get in the demo. i'll be honest it's kinda hard to get 100% with the LIs unless you're completely Locked In and make all the right choices. one day i'll make a walkthrough when i have the time for it, but for now my biggest recommendation is to notice which personality traits fenir likes as well and modify your playthrough and the dates you choose based off that. also consider which dates have lots of choices to boost your personality trait stats o7 godspeed gamer
Etza is somehow exactly my type and I don't know their pronouns BUT BY GOD IF THEY ARE A WOMAN MY GAY HEART WILL DIE OF HAPPINESS. Beautiful writing by the way, top tier game!
etza uses they/them pronouns and is nonbinary! but they hope you are still willing to accept them as they are anyways <3 thank you for the compliment and glad you liked the game ^^
I love this game! I love how the choices shape up the personality traits for the MC :) I love also the character designs! It's so unique and cute <3 Very soft which gives me cozy feels ^^ Keep up the amazing work!
I really liked the background and UI designs but felt that the character designs just did not match the background and UI. The character designs seemed much more simpler than the rich backgrounds and UI and that was distracting enough that I couldn't play the whole demo. It's fine if character designs are simple but the background and UI should also be simple then
OMG IT WAS DIFFICULT TO CHOOSE WHO I WANTED FOR THE ROUTE!! I picked Ezra, but when I play again, I'm definitely picking the golden-haired person(unsure of anyone's pronouns except Kayn and Druk).
Just discovered this game, and I love it so much! The art is super cute and the backgrounds are so gorgeous - and the LIs themselves are really intriguing, as well. The personality stats tickles something in my brain lol. And the music??? So good, it almost reminds me of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom music when you're just running around and relaxing. Really a great extended demo, excited to see how progress goes! <3
I'm so excited to see where this game takes us! I just finished playing the demo on my stream and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. I was so invested in the story that this has made me more excited to see where the game takes us next!
Damn another great VN I have to keep up with, why does god give his hardest battles to his weakest soldier.
Great game! love all characters involved and Kayn is my favourite, only problem I have is that I am not sure if the error message at the end of the demo after picking a route and having the little bit of banter afterwards is the intended end.
aaa thank you so much for playing!!! i'm glad you liked it. sending strength to a fellow weak soldier LMAO
there's not supposed to be an error message but the demo does end after that little bit of banter. do you mind saying when exactly the error message comes up so i can look into it?
I am very sorry I didn't see your message earlier! I just tried it again to check at which point the error pops up and well.. now it's working and properly showing the "To be continued" screen! So I guess it must've been something on my end that fixed itself. Probably would've only needed to restart my pc to fix it :)
I love this so much and can't wait for the final release!! My only issue is that I can't figure out how to get the second to last date on the extras screen, which I think must be with Kuna'a?
I got all of Kayn's, Druk's, Fenir's, and Etza's marketplace, café, river, and flower field dates, plus Aisa's flower field date, but I'm still missing that other one :((
hi! sorry for the late reply OTL... if you still haven't gotten kuna'a's date, you simply go to the flower field date (has to be chapter 3 date) and choose no one again. and then choose the option where you rest. then simply wait for kuna'a to come to you o7
they all end at around the same time since their “route” in the demo is just meant to give you a small ending scene for the common route before their full route officially starts!
I know that this is just a demo. But it is brilliant. The world seems deep and rich with lore. The sprites are gorgeous (doesn't help that they have that bit of resemblance to Van haha)
I love how the characters are all intriguing and appealing. And how their stories each bring out another piece of the puzzle. I can't wait for more to come!
hii! just played the demo and absolutely loved it! It was really fun. The story is so interesting! I really want to know more about the entire world and the characters. The art and the UI also are really pretty, I can't wait for the full game! Amazing work! My faves so far are Fenir and Kuna'a. I was on the fence about Kuna'a but then he asked for help and... I kind of fell... I'm so mad haha. Keep up the good work!
I'm OBSESSED I'm so excited I hope the full game comes out soon <3 Just a small note: no matter what background I choose, the game always assumes I chose Healer for some reason.
hi! thank you sm for playing and rly happy you enjoyed the demo!!!! for the background, you’re always a healer—that part of your character isn’t customizable. it’s moreso your personality (so how brave, kind, smart, and charismatic you are) hope that clears things up! ^^
yeah I saw that! the way the stats were divided by your choices was super cool! but I had the option to choose between scholar, healer, and protector. was I not supposed to?
ah, i see where the mixup is!! yes that’s just another personality question like all the others but it has no impact on what you actually become in the story <3

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.
when's the full version coming out ???
Is Druk's Beta route closed now? I replayed the game but it ended after picking his route.
its for patreon members! i think its for the hydra tier
Ohhh! That makes sense! Thanks for the information! It seems I overread that part, lol- typical me.
I read the description and game mechanics...this is so good??? I will try it tonight and I bet I'll love it
Ok so, I played Fenir's route since he immediately caught my eye. Are we meant not to be able to reach 100% affection in the demo? I got to 64% with Fenir and would love to know if I could do better than that.

THIS GAME IS SO AMAZNG <333 I LOVE IT SO MUCH !! >_<
When will the full game release? I'm dying to play it 😭😭

Love this game, but it just came to me that you need to give the other humans some kind of energy or I will think that mother and kimura are faries...
I love the voice acting from the cast but... Something about Kuna'a and Fenir's voices? 10/10 I am in an absolute CHOKEHOLD
🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
druk route playthrough--you are very based
I love this so much and can't wait for the final release!! My only issue is that I can't figure out how to get the second to last date on the extras screen, which I think must be with Kuna'a?

No worries, I can't believe I didn't notice that lol. Thanks and good luck with development!!
do the playthrough times depend on what route you choose or do they all pretty much end at the same stop??
they all end at around the same time since their “route” in the demo is just meant to give you a small ending scene for the common route before their full route officially starts!
I know that this is just a demo. But it is brilliant.
The world seems deep and rich with lore.

I loved the demo so much!! But I have a question. How much will the full game cost? (If you already know) I’m literally willing to pay anything lol
expected to be about $5-$7 :)
I'm OBSESSED I'm so excited I hope the full game comes out soon <3 Just a small note: no matter what background I choose, the game always assumes I chose Healer for some reason.

I can't wait till more comes out <3! I love Kuna'a so much <3 he is dark fae? >3> our silver hair princes <3
I LOVE THIS GAME. kuna'a my beloved.
