This game really is a bit of a hidden gem. The plot is fun, the character designs give tumblr oc vibes (in a good way) and the voice acting is JUST really fun, especially for Micheal. All in, really good game, and if you do all the romance routes, you kinda get a lot of content for what you're spending.

Artstyle and moving to different locations here give Persona-ish vibes, but medevial Dnd setting...I finished this recently, quite enjoyed my time, the characters and story were well written and your choices DO affect the plot in big ways - the only minor nitpick is unless you romance them, characters don't go through BIG GROWTH on screen slowly over time, it's all at once, but a minor thing, still a great game!

생각보다 꽤 재미있음. 영어 수준이 어렵진 않아서 게임에 큰 지장은 없었고 헷갈리는 영어 내용만 챗지피티에 물어보면서 진행함. 퍼즐 게임을 그닥 잘 하지 못 해서 걱정하면서 게임 시작했는데 다 어렵지 않았고 복잡한 퍼즐은 다른 캐릭한테 맡긴다는 옵션도 있었음
내가 고르는 선택지에 따라서 뒤에 선택지 옵션이 달라짐. 엔딩에 다 영향을 미쳐서 마지막 장에서 고를 수 있는 선택지의 갯수도 달라짐.
양다리는 안 됨. 캐릭터들에게 들이대다보면 어느 순간 고백할 지 물어보는 선택지가 나오는데 그때 고백한다는 옵션을 선택하면 그 다음부터 그 외 모든 캐릭은 친구로 고정되고 들이댈 수가 없게 됨. (분홍 머리 제외하고 4명의 캐릭 중에서) 고백할 캐릭을 잘 선택해서 지조를 지키고 있다가 다른 캐릭에게 고백할지 선택지가 먼저 뜬다고 해도 절대 고백하면 안 됨.
내가 각 친구들에게 어떤 조언을 줄 거냐에 따라서 친구들 미래가 달라지고 엔딩으로 갈수록 그 선택지가 영향을 미침. 다들 개성이 뚜렷해서 매력이 있었음.
영어 성우 목소리가 다 취향이라서 듣는 재미가 있었음. 5명 캐릭 외에도 주인공과 몇몇 조연들이 다 성우가 있어서 좋았지만 모든 대사가 녹음되어 있지는 않았음.
텍스트 위주의 게임이다보니 호불호가 갈릴 거 같은데 그냥 영어 공부하는 셈 치고 읽다보니 꽤 재미있었음.

Fun visual novel with a neat little built-in puzzle game that didn't feel so easy as to be pointless, nor so frustrating as to leave you stuck. Really like the story and the characters, appreciate that there was more nuance to the story than I typically expect in this type of game, [spoiler]was surprised at the ending[/spoiler] for this reason. Excited for the sequel to this!

Love the voice acting and story, really takes me back to when I was playing Dragon age as a kid with all the banter between the group members. The minigame is actually pretty relaxing, not too complicated so I never really felt stuck.

Fairly short runtime for its price, so maybe get on sale. I would say the average playthrough takes maybe 12 Hours tops unless you use guides, then maybe 8~9 (probably even less if you don't sit and listen to all the character's banter between fast-traveling, like i did...) [strike] Only reason i have 80hrs is because I would repeatedly travel to hear banter interactions + i'm a slow reader + I replayed the game a couple times + the alchemy recipes kicked my ass the first time i was tryna figure 'em out. [/strike]

I Wish there were more character customization options & dialogue choices in general... Especially for romance routes! It felt like the game ended before anything really picked up, so if you're going into this for the romance; it isn't mainly a "dating sim". It's more storyline/lore focused, and having romantic interactions with the characters is very secondary to all of that. (Also it's criminal that Mime isn't a romance option she's so cute bro?!)

The story itself is also quite basic (Especially when it comes to the Outlanders.. that concept felt very shallow.) but overall it was also weirdly charming, in a way that felt like I was playing a classic fantasy adventure game from the 90s... Nostalgic, despite being predictable & basic.

I personally think the most compelling aspect of the game is figuring out the Alchemy crafting, and filling your recipe book. It's very simple, but very fun for what it is. Honestly I just wish there was more of it! Hopefully the sequel will have more of this?

Anyways, overall, pretty enjoyable. You get a cool lesbian grandma mentor so that's awesome.

I liked the story, the artwork, and the choices. The game has a lot of nice ideas and elements, especially with the alchemy, but in the end it feels a bit rushed. Still, I really enjoyed it and I hope the second game adds even more to all the things I enjoyed in this game.

I also wish there were an option to replay the game while keeping the puzzles solved from the first playthrough.
