Seers Isle

Veryyy Chill! Really like reading a simple, small book. I wanted something simple and pretty, that's what I got

It's cute! It didn't resonate with me too much and I'd argue there are some shortcomings to this piece, but it's a very pretty experience, limited more by the budget, than by the artistic vision. I can't believe this crew has been releasing VNs for a decade now, and I've never heard about them. I'm quite intrigued to see where they have gone since then. EDIT: Actually, I was curious if I’m correct in my assumption that the game is rather linear and you don’t influence its finale much… But I wasn’t! It seems that many of the story threads that felt to me as if they ran dry without much of a resolution are actually kept behind many different choices and approaches you take to the story, and if you were to allow yourself to play the game more than once, making vastly different choices, you’ll be surprised to find layers of additional content. The fact that I felt as if “my” story was likely the exclusive, intended tale now feels like quite a treat!

just completed my first run. DO NOT READ ANY GUIDES. GO IN BLIND. i'm so glad i did. this game is worth the full price, and i haven't even "fully" played it yet/explored all the paths. you know how some games are designed to be replayed, but you mostly do so just because you want the achievements? with this one, i'm genuinely so curious what the other paths/choices held - i'll replay it, not just for completionism's sake. the writing is genuinely GOOD, i love how character-driven it is. also, as a norse/celtic pagan, i'm very glad and grateful this exists. there's very, very few games out there that cater to pagan sensibilities with so much integrity, authenticity and actual knowledge of our and our ancestors' practices - i'm genuinely so grateful. can't wait to play more. such a unique, original game. one of a kind. thank you so much for this gift. <333333333 [spoiler]on my first run, i destroyed the tree together with arlyn. not sure whether i did a good or bad thing. my mind isn't made up about the seers. also the unexpected graphic sapphic scene was so hot, omg. i took at least half a minute just staring/gasping at it in silence to compute.[/spoiler]

it was good for a while but i romanced a character i denied like a million times and so it just felt pointless

Beautiful visual novel, 9/10
