i played the demo a year ago and decided to play it again bc its absolutely amazing.. idk what happened, if its my ancient ass laptop but what the hell is up with the characters T-T![]
ahhh i do think that might be a product of your laptop since the entire window seems to be glitching a bit ;_; (not just etza, but the dialogue box/bottom bit of the game too!). if you'd like, you can email me at studioscrescence@gmail.com and we can talk a bit more there to see if there's anything i can do on my end to make the game run smoother on your laptop!
First of all! Applause to whoever wrote the Trigger warning. It was written in such a way that made me feel like the person cared a lot about the welfare of their readers. Beautifully written.
That isn't to say the rest of the story wasn't written well. I loved the writing, the characters personality was also very distinct from each other. (In short, the characters felt real. Like real life people.) The world building was done well. It was a lot to take in at first because everything was new and so much information. But it was interesting and fun!
Also the part where I could pick out my own personality!! It makes the experience more wonderful and intriguing. It made me feel like I was in that game! It was a great experience.
The art style was beautiful. The background, scenery, EVERYTHING- it was beautiful. The background had so much minute detailing that I literally spent so much time taking in everything. The character designs was great too! ETZA's character design- Like I was on the floor bowing to them! ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING. (Doesn't mean other characters weren't good, Etza- they always have a spot in my heart-)
I thank the team so much for putting in so much effort and work. The fact that the demo itself is so well made- I can't wait for the whole thing to fall in place. Please take your time to create more in depth story line. I look forward to supporting you all! :)
EDIT: I forgot to mention about the VOICE ACTING! I got literal chills listening to the characters speak. I was so surprised and my heart went lub dub- lub dub- so fast.. NXBSHJNKJ (In short: I was in love with the voices <3)
thank u sm for the thoughtful review!!! the trigger warning was very important to me to write, as i always want my games to feel like as safe of an experience for my players as possible. it took some time coming up with something that felt compassionate and "in the voice" of the fantasy world, so i'm glad it was something you appreciated <3
so happy you enjoyed the rest of the game as well!! all the team members put so much heart into the little pieces, so seeing everything come together with everyone's hard work has been my favorite part of the process ^^ ((and yes.... so real and true about etza.... i would immediately fall to the floor if they were to ever grace me with their presence LMFAO))
very excited to show you the full game, and thank you for your support! these kinds of comments mean the world :')
The art, the background, the story, the voice acting, the visuals, UGHH well made visual novels like this are my kryptonite. I'm in love!!!! I can't wait to rant to my friends about this.
THANK U SM FOR LIKING IT AAAA!!!! i've toiled over this little game for so long so it's so rewarding to know people are enjoying it and all the little details i often wondered were even worth it LMAO. thank you for playing and YEEEAAA get ur friends on this thing LOL
..unless im missing something everytime i click on my stats my game crashes literally starts BAWLING. but oMG IM ALREADY INLOVE W THE GAME STARTS FREAKING THE HELL OUT AUGHHSHUIFSHIHAIDHAKSHDKA
edit: im assuming the reason is because its still a demo ^_^ i might just be slow umm MY BAD
edit p2: AUUBHGHHAOUAHDOSNFUIBNAIWBENIDJBNAWIRBNWIUAFGESNABFIUBWFIHNAIFAWUFNIAWBFUAIWIBFA UEFABWFBAIFNSBIBFIEBFDISEHUFNEIAIFNAD -i finished 1 route. that was me in the moment.
hi!! the stats screen definitely shouldn't be crashing; it being a demo is no excuse lol! if you feel comfortable, feel free to message me either on twitter @crescencestudio or email me at studioscrescence@gmail.com about your bug report and the details of the crash and i can try and figure out what exactly is going on there :) very sorry for the inconvenience
thank you for playing and enjoying everything besides that tho LOL! <3
this was amazing!!! i had so much fun playing it!! the story immediately drew my attention in, i really liked the explanation on how magic worked in the world. i'm interested to see what other magical elements are there. i'm most especially curious to know what what exactly mc's grandma is and how does she know the things she knows. lowkey, i may have an idea but gotta wait and see. the characters were so charming!! i loved all of them. god, i can already imagine being absolutely torn on which route to choose once the full game comes out. there's so much to explore and so many interactions to witness. i can't wait to play though them all. great demo!! can't wait to see what you guys have planned for the story <3
ahhh thank you for the kind words!!! so glad you like our little fantasy world and definitely eyeing your theories with curiosity :') we'll see if they get confirmed in the full game, haha!
and really happy to know you like the cast <33 it's already a compliment when people like multiple lis, much less when they like the whole cast ^^ excited to see how you enjoy their routes; thank you so much for playing and leaving such a kind review!! <3
This is genuinely the best demo that I have ever played. The entire demo is so beautiful and it's just seeping with so much love. Thank you for the hard work you put into this, it's evident throughout the entire game. Praying that one day I can create something even a fraction as beautiful as this.
Also (spoilers) but I started crying in the scene with Etza at the river where they reassured MC that it wasn't their fault they got attacked. I genuinely teared up bc I wished someone would have said similar things to me in the past. I can't wait for the full game, sending yall sm love <33
those are such kind words ;_; thank you for enjoying the game so far and playing!!! i'm really glad people can see how much love (aka how much i've toiled LOL) has been put into this game. it's been in the making for such a long time and has come so far since i first started my dev journey, and knowing all those hours i've put into the game can be felt is incredibly rewarding ^^
if/when you ever get around to making ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to let me know i would love to support it!!!
and i'm glad people have been enjoying the etza scene as much as they have haha <3 i wanted them to come across as a really compassionate person and sometimes worried their support might feel "cheesy" but i'm glad people are reading it as genuine and kind ^^ thank you for the support again and can't wait for you to see the full game!
Hellooo after playing the new amazing demo (ı actually played the old one too but ıt was loong ago so ı dont remember much in the end ı decided to commend after playing this new demo update!) ı wanted to share my own thoughts!
First of all ı will talk about various things about the game so ıt will definitely have spoilers plus ı usually ramble whenever ı want to share my thoughts so thisis loooong comment sorry for it ^^;; ıf ıt looks like a waste of time please just skip it
first of all ım amazed by how good the start was! ıt felt both so poetic and like some old mysterious fairytale which was amazing start! ıt was like perfect beginning for fantasy world story! ı really loved the drawings and music there too
also ı think ıts pretty amazing how game actually let me to create MY OWN personality and ACTUALLY let this personality show itself through the game! ı was sooo happy to see that! I can really see how much work you put in there since ı noticed the cute and pretty personality symbols were appearing lotly as ı keep play the game and ım aware that they actually play big roles in how our character decides to act since ı actually chose charisma first then realized ıts kind of far from ı imagined and changed to kindness and wow things turned out pretty different ways in some places and well ı also found my main preferred personality choice :3 though ım curious by how other personalities will act too so ım going to try them ^^ ! ım also pretty happy to be able choose my class to ıt both adds so depth into a game and makes me feel like as ıf ım part of the game instead of someone who just came to witness one characters story . so these were alll soo amazing thank you for all those wonderful choices and hard work!
as for the art ı actually like them ALOT like ı remember that ı stopped every time ı encountered new background to appreciate it. they were all so peaceful and beautiful! as for the character designs ı think they are all amazing too! but ı also feel like the way they look seems ''uncompleted''? like they are detailed and amazing but they look more like a sketch than a fully completed art but they were still so cool!
as for music they were mainly peaceful and calm except some dangerous or creepy moments happening.. ı think they all give the emotions of the story's situation pretty well like ı was able to get in the mood pretty quickly and ı think ıts thanks to them :3
as for the voices ı think they all represent their characters pretty well.. like all of them were like ''ıf ı had imagined their voices myself without hearing those lines first the voices ı create in my head would probably end up close to them.. they are all so cool! the VAs really made the feelings of the characters come alive with their voices. amazing work !! :3
story was pretty good too although some times ıt felt ı was kinda moving faster than normally (like how suddenly we summoned a fae and then short after literally got kidnapped) but ım glad that story didnt miss characters feelings and the way they process all these events mentally because ı think instead having full action focused story ı would love to learn about characters, how are they holding with all these happening and how they being in interaction while trying to solve all these confusing events together. to me ıts really important because ı think all of the game's characters are pretty important since they are all involved in main story. like what is their motivation to keep them the way they go or how they react in certain events make story even more beatiful and rich.. and in my opinion ıt also makes the story fully complete since not everything is events happening around but also how people caught by the flow acts since these acts can shape the flow back. so int he end ı think story is amazing! and demo was alot longer than ı thought ıt would so ım happy game really allows me to explore alot while also makes me wait to see more so its immersive and interesting!
as for the characters ı would love to talk about especially main character's mom because ım pretty touched by how calm and supportive she is. like she listens to us then tries to help us with telling and doing things she know plus even we did something dangerous she didnt panic and tried to help us after that she wasnt even mad at us when we were kept focusing on dangerous faes she only wanted us to be safe. Really beautiful and kind mom! as for other characters ım amazed by how detailed and mysterious each of them! when ı look them ı can clearly see they are alot more than they let us see which makes me feel like ı should pay close attention to learn more from them! ı really love how each of them have their own story and life and you can feel it in the story. for now ı focused on Fenir since he was acting so cute but after meeting him few times ı noticed his straightforward (in my opinion) and wise side too and ı was like ''wow ı learned something new about him'' ıt was an exciting experience for me looking forward to get to know better all other characters too ^^ !!
ım also wondering ıf my personality might prevent me getting close to some of the characters since ı noticed how ı choose my personality in the start can change affection levels of characters...
soo this is all ı can think for now! ım really glad to play this game and ım sooo happy and excited how amazing ıt will become! thank you and all people who worked hard for this wonderful game and ı hope things will be great in the future for both for all of you and for this game. thank you for reading all this too ^^ have a nice daay!
ahhh thank you so much for writing such a thoughtful review!!! it makes me (and the rest of the team) happy to know people are enjoying the different parts of the game so much, especially since everyone has worked so hard on their individual pieces to make sure the game is pretty and immersive <3
i'm glad the personality function is something that makes the gameplay feel unique to you!! i def tried to add different situations where different personalities might (re)act in unique ways and it's been really fun to see the different oc's/sona's people have made because of the personality feature!!! hope you have a lot of fun with that and finding the different ways that your personality affects the story and how characters interact with you ^^ thank you sm for enjoying the game as much as you have and leaving such kind words!!! it means the world <3
when his va sent me their lines, i definitely felt my heart beat faster hearing his voice LMFAOO so i'm glad other ppl like their voice as much as i do! <3
PLS you have no idea just how many hours i spent on the game just to keep replaying scenes with druk bc like i went through scenes without really registering what was being said cause i was too focused on his voice like adsgadfmhrgrkdg;kjd deceased im deceased-
I'm writting as a play and my goodness this game is itching my brain in an amazing way. The art design / musics / assets it all looks so incredible the ambiance is magnificent I love it.
the story really has a hold on me and I'm extremmely curious where this is all going ( bonus point it's very nice to be able to get reminder of lore with important terms ).
Indeed!! The little outings with Fen was the best. He is so gosh darn cute. Thank you for releasing this! I am pleased to have had the chance to enjoy such a lovely demo!
ahaha it’s so crazy to see comments like this compared to the og demo release when it was a little quieter around here! thank you so much and i hope you enjoy the enhanced version! <3
I love this game, the cgs are so cute and i'm enchanted by the plot, i've been looking foward to play the complete game for some months now, you guys did a great job!!!
hi! the demo isn’t currently available as it’s going through a Big Rehaul <3 i’m hoping to have it out in about a month, so please feel free to check back then or check my monthly devlogs for updates ^^ thank you so much for the interest!
I've played the demo over and over and I love all the storylines so far! I love this game, the art and story are both amazing! I'm usually not a big fan of visual novels but this one really kept me entertained.
I had a question, I always look back to see if anything has been added to the game (on Steam), and I'd love for it to be continued. I just wanted to ask if you were continuing to work on the game or if its been 'abandoned' for other projects.
With that out of the way I hope everyone has a lovely day! <3
hi!! thank you so much for enjoying the game ahh. it makes me really happy to know you like it as much as you do <3 the game is very much still being worked on. while i’ve released/helped to release other games this year, alaris has consistently been my main focus. because the game is so big, development for it takes a bit of time, especially compared to the other shorter games i’ve released. but if you’d ever like to keep up with the progress of the game, i release monthly devlogs updating people on production ((should be linked on the itch game page)) ^^
I played the demo recently and i love it <3 the history, the characters and the art are amazing. I admire your work, I became aware of the existence of this demo after having played Intertwine, which is one of my favorite visual novels.
With this said I hope the whole team have a nice day <3
I just wanted to let you know how much I love this game! I've been playing it religiously since my first route, and I adore all of the characters so much!
My favourite by far is Etza, he's got such a charming personality!
Keep up the good work, this game is amazing and I can't tell you how excited I am for the next update, whenever that may be! <3
i recently played intertwine so i decided to play this and ITS SO GOOD?? honestly one of the best vns i've played even tho it's only a demo 😭 i love fenir so much
AHHH you don't even know how much this means to me!!! i'd gotten into the habit of not answering comments here for some reason, but i had to respond to this one because i wanted to let you know how much i needed it ;_; i was feeling pretty self conscious of alaris after intertwine's release, partly because the current build is outdated and partly because it's quite different from intertwine. so it means a lot that you played both and still really enjoyed alaris!!! thank you so much <3 ((and yes fenir is a cutie!))
The toggle for dragon energy is cool. I was gazing into the eyes of Fenir for sure by the end of it being like, I want to kiss you. And the need of the Fae really draws me to Kaan'a route as well. Even though I was all in on Fenir, the fact that MC has said they'd help anyone brought me to Kuan'as route first. When an LI needs me to save their world, so hard to turn those puppy eyes down. Definite buy for me when it releases.
Just started playing, loving the story so far. I noticed something you may want to alter in future updates. In the scene where you meet Kayn and Druk the sprite arrangement makes Druk look like he is the same height or shorter than Kayn. You may want to raise the height (Y position) at which Druk's sprite is displayed, or if needed make other characters lower so that they appear shorter in the frame.
I don't know if the sprite images are all drawn/saved to the same dimensions, but how tall everyone visually is on screen is something to watch out for and adjust in coding. Its not that big of a deal, just one of those continuity things to consider.
ahhhhhhhhhh i rlly loved the game so much! i rlly didnt think it was a demo till i saw the to be continued screen and i was like noooooooooooooo. can't wait to see the future updates!~ also, one question. so the LIs have VAs right? does that mean it's going to be fully voiced or just the title screen. because i only hear any voicelines when i load up the game, which also scared me when i first loaded it up cause i did NOT expect that
hhhh omg this was so good, i didn't even realize it was a demo until the "to be continued" screen showed up. was soo confused because it didn't feel like a demo in the way it was so well written and, and how the plot really pulled you in. easily spent two hours playing this game and i didn't even realize how much time had passed.
such a good game, and i love how well written and distinct all of the LI's are <33
hi there! in playing the game I have come across an error in the game :). At the beginning of chapter 3, I meet Kayn however as you progress the conversation a traceback log says a variable (NonType) is missing the attribute 'style'.
here is the error I received below, thanks!
[code]
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "game/sprites.rpy", line 18, in render
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'style'
-- Full Traceback ------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! I just had the same problem and sort of found a 'solution' to it. When it appears just press ignore really fast and many times and it should eventually go. However it ends up appearing like every 30-60 sec again, that's the only problem -_- So you'll have to do it multiple times. But ey, as long as you get to play the game right? Hahahah
Never mind, it doesn't come back that fast. You just have to go slow and take your time. Don't skip and don't read the lines too fast, basically just go slow. Like that it will take several minutes to come back
Hello !! I truly love this game and cant wait for more updates <3
i do have a question tho lolz, ive gotten all the cgs except Etzas first pic and i wonder if u could possibly tell me around where in the game it is ? so that i maybe dont have to start from the beginning <33
Hello! If you're referring to Etza's individual CG, that would be in Chapter 2. Rather than going with Druk in the beginning, if you go with Etza, you will see their CG :)

i played the demo a year ago and decided to play it again bc its absolutely amazing.. idk what happened, if its my ancient ass laptop but what the hell is up with the characters T-T

First of all! Applause to whoever wrote the Trigger warning. It was written in such a way that made me feel like the person cared a lot about the welfare of their readers. Beautifully written.

EDIT: I forgot to mention about the VOICE ACTING! I got literal chills listening to the characters speak. I was so surprised and my heart went lub dub- lub dub- so fast.. NXBSHJNKJ (In short: I was in love with the voices <3)

Hellooo after playing the new amazing demo (ı actually played the old one too but ıt was loong ago so ı dont remember much in the end ı decided to commend after playing this new demo update!) ı wanted to share my own thoughts!
First of all ı will talk about various things about the game so ıt will definitely have spoilers plus ı usually ramble whenever ı want to share my thoughts so thisis loooong comment sorry for it ^^;; ıf ıt looks like a waste of time please just skip it
first of all ım amazed by how good the start was! ıt felt both so poetic and like some old mysterious fairytale which was amazing start! ıt was like perfect beginning for fantasy world story! ı really loved the drawings and music there too
also ı think ıts pretty amazing how game actually let me to create MY OWN personality and ACTUALLY let this personality show itself through the game! ı was sooo happy to see that! I can really see how much work you put in there since ı noticed the cute and pretty personality symbols were appearing lotly as ı keep play the game and ım aware that they actually play big roles in how our character decides to act since ı actually chose charisma first then realized ıts kind of far from ı imagined and changed to kindness and wow things turned out pretty different ways in some places and well ı also found my main preferred personality choice :3 though ım curious by how other personalities will act too so ım going to try them ^^ ! ım also pretty happy to be able choose my class to ıt both adds so depth into a game and makes me feel like as ıf ım part of the game instead of someone who just came to witness one characters story . so these were alll soo amazing thank you for all those wonderful choices and hard work!
as for the art ı actually like them ALOT like ı remember that ı stopped every time ı encountered new background to appreciate it. they were all so peaceful and beautiful! as for the character designs ı think they are all amazing too! but ı also feel like the way they look seems ''uncompleted''? like they are detailed and amazing but they look more like a sketch than a fully completed art but they were still so cool!
as for music they were mainly peaceful and calm except some dangerous or creepy moments happening.. ı think they all give the emotions of the story's situation pretty well like ı was able to get in the mood pretty quickly and ı think ıts thanks to them :3
as for the voices ı think they all represent their characters pretty well.. like all of them were like ''ıf ı had imagined their voices myself without hearing those lines first the voices ı create in my head would probably end up close to them.. they are all so cool! the VAs really made the feelings of the characters come alive with their voices. amazing work !! :3

Really beautiful and kind mom! as for other characters ım amazed by how detailed and mysterious each of them! when ı look them ı can clearly see they are alot more than they let us see which makes me feel like ı should pay close attention to learn more from them! ı really love how each of them have their own story and life and you can feel it in the story. for now ı focused on Fenir since he was acting so cute but after meeting him few times ı noticed his straightforward (in my opinion) and wise side too and ı was like ''wow ı learned something new about him'' ıt was an exciting experience for me looking forward to get to know better all other characters too ^^ !!
ım also wondering ıf my personality might prevent me getting close to some of the characters since ı noticed how ı choose my personality in the start can change affection levels of characters...

i'm glad the personality function is something that makes the gameplay feel unique to you!! i def tried to add different situations where different personalities might (re)act in unique ways and it's been really fun to see the different oc's/sona's people have made because of the personality feature!!! hope you have a lot of fun with that and finding the different ways that your personality affects the story and how characters interact with you ^^ thank you sm for enjoying the game as much as you have and leaving such kind words!!! it means the world <3

I'm writting as a play and my goodness this game is itching my brain in an amazing way. The art design / musics / assets it all looks so incredible the ambiance is magnificent I love it.
the story really has a hold on me and I'm extremmely curious where this is all going ( bonus point it's very nice to be able to get reminder of lore with important terms ).
Also Fenrir has my heart...
Wonderful game ! The extended Demo is amazing.
DREAMTYYYY THANK YOUU!!! im so so glad you like it this comment means sm to me!!!! thank you for playing and supporting q.q
and fenir is YOURS!!
Fen and Etza already have my heart. Everything is beautiful and very smooth so far. I love it.
two very wholesome choices ^^ thank you sm and so glad you are enjoying it!!
Indeed!! The little outings with Fen was the best. He is so gosh darn cute. Thank you for releasing this! I am pleased to have had the chance to enjoy such a lovely demo!
Very excited to try this game out once again - I just know it'll be as brilliant as the first time I played it, and even better beyond that!
ahhh thank you sm for playing the og and supporting all this time!!! hope you like the enhanced version just as much <3
OMGGGG I have been waiting! Cannot wait to get my hands on the demo and play. TYYYY for your hardwork! <3
Congratulations on the release of the enhanced demo!! I've literally been counting down the hours! Can't wait to play it! <3
ahaha it’s so crazy to see comments like this compared to the og demo release when it was a little quieter around here! thank you so much and i hope you enjoy the enhanced version! <3
AAAHHHHHHHH I need the new demo! Can't wait <3
waiting
I love this game, the cgs are so cute and i'm enchanted by the plot, i've been looking foward to play the complete game for some months now, you guys did a great job!!!
How much will the completed game be?
completed game price is still TBD but it'll most likely be around $5-$7!
Such a cheap price, thanks for the quick response.
Idk?
ahhh where do i download the demo?!
hi! the demo isn’t currently available as it’s going through a Big Rehaul <3 i’m hoping to have it out in about a month, so please feel free to check back then or check my monthly devlogs for updates ^^ thank you so much for the interest!
Hello!!
I've played the demo over and over and I love all the storylines so far! I love this game, the art and story are both amazing! I'm usually not a big fan of visual novels but this one really kept me entertained.
I had a question, I always look back to see if anything has been added to the game (on Steam), and I'd love for it to be continued. I just wanted to ask if you were continuing to work on the game or if its been 'abandoned' for other projects.
With that out of the way I hope everyone has a lovely day! <3
hi!! thank you so much for enjoying the game ahh. it makes me really happy to know you like it as much as you do <3 the game is very much still being worked on. while i’ve released/helped to release other games this year, alaris has consistently been my main focus. because the game is so big, development for it takes a bit of time, especially compared to the other shorter games i’ve released. but if you’d ever like to keep up with the progress of the game, i release monthly devlogs updating people on production ((should be linked on the itch game page)) ^^
Yayy!! I’m so excited for this game, that you for the info on how to see the progress! Have a wonderful day! ^^
Heya!
I played the demo recently and i love it <3 the history, the characters and the art are amazing. I admire your work, I became aware of the existence of this demo after having played Intertwine, which is one of my favorite visual novels.
With this said I hope the whole team have a nice day <3
Só faltou colocar uma opção de mudar o idioma para português (Brasil) e outros idiomas 😔
Hey!
I just wanted to let you know how much I love this game! I've been playing it religiously since my first route, and I adore all of the characters so much!
My favourite by far is Etza, he's got such a charming personality!
Keep up the good work, this game is amazing and I can't tell you how excited I am for the next update, whenever that may be! <3
i recently played intertwine so i decided to play this and ITS SO GOOD?? honestly one of the best vns i've played even tho it's only a demo 😭 i love fenir so much
AHHH you don't even know how much this means to me!!! i'd gotten into the habit of not answering comments here for some reason, but i had to respond to this one because i wanted to let you know how much i needed it ;_; i was feeling pretty self conscious of alaris after intertwine's release, partly because the current build is outdated and partly because it's quite different from intertwine. so it means a lot that you played both and still really enjoyed alaris!!! thank you so much <3 ((and yes fenir is a cutie!))
The toggle for dragon energy is cool. I was gazing into the eyes of Fenir for sure by the end of it being like, I want to kiss you. And the need of the Fae really draws me to Kaan'a route as well. Even though I was all in on Fenir, the fact that MC has said they'd help anyone brought me to Kuan'as route first. When an LI needs me to save their world, so hard to turn those puppy eyes down. Definite buy for me when it releases.
Just started playing, loving the story so far. I noticed something you may want to alter in future updates. In the scene where you meet Kayn and Druk the sprite arrangement makes Druk look like he is the same height or shorter than Kayn. You may want to raise the height (Y position) at which Druk's sprite is displayed, or if needed make other characters lower so that they appear shorter in the frame.
I don't know if the sprite images are all drawn/saved to the same dimensions, but how tall everyone visually is on screen is something to watch out for and adjust in coding. Its not that big of a deal, just one of those continuity things to consider.
Seriously looking forward to the whole game, bit sad it was a demo. Great storyline, awesome characters, and just overall great. Fenir>>>> (imo)
ahhhhhhhhhh i rlly loved the game so much! i rlly didnt think it was a demo till i saw the to be continued screen and i was like noooooooooooooo. can't wait to see the future updates!~ also, one question. so the LIs have VAs right? does that mean it's going to be fully voiced or just the title screen. because i only hear any voicelines when i load up the game, which also scared me when i first loaded it up cause i did NOT expect that
hhhh omg this was so good, i didn't even realize it was a demo until the "to be continued" screen showed up. was soo confused because it didn't feel like a demo in the way it was so well written and, and how the plot really pulled you in. easily spent two hours playing this game and i didn't even realize how much time had passed.
such a good game, and i love how well written and distinct all of the LI's are <33
wow its been awhile...just reminded me how much missed that horned man..i forgot his name 😭
hi there! in playing the game I have come across an error in the game :). At the beginning of chapter 3, I meet Kayn however as you progress the conversation a traceback log says a variable (NonType) is missing the attribute 'style'.
here is the error I received below, thanks!

Hey! I just had the same problem and sort of found a 'solution' to it. When it appears just press ignore really fast and many times and it should eventually go. However it ends up appearing like every 30-60 sec again, that's the only problem -_- So you'll have to do it multiple times. But ey, as long as you get to play the game right? Hahahah
I really hope it works for you too!
Never mind, it doesn't come back that fast. You just have to go slow and take your time. Don't skip and don't read the lines too fast, basically just go slow. Like that it will take several minutes to come back
druk my beloved.
i just need to know. very important question. are his horns sensitive
lololol I was curious about that too.
Hello !! I truly love this game and cant wait for more updates <3
i do have a question tho lolz, ive gotten all the cgs except Etzas first pic and i wonder if u could possibly tell me around where in the game it is ? so that i maybe dont have to start from the beginning <33
Hello! If you're referring to Etza's individual CG, that would be in Chapter 2. Rather than going with Druk in the beginning, if you go with Etza, you will see their CG :)
Fenir is so adorable!! I can't wait for the full game, Also great job on the art!!! (:
Fenrir and Kunaa are both so mysterious i can't wait for the full game!
