Not too far in but story has me pretty hooked already. Loving the art and the medieval-fantasy aesthetic, and the music is just actually top-tier. So far the combat has been interesting weaving through your special abilities attacking and parrying, and its pretty cool since dialogue is baked into the combat as well. The story itself gives me Steins Gate + Assassin's creed vibes, so pretty intriguing so far, and looking forward to getting in deeper. You could tell a lot of passion was put into this game and what kind of games the dev likes, so kudos to that

So much time and hard work went into this game and I've got about 6-8 hours in it, between beta phase and launch. I'll definitely come back when I beat it, but for now just want to leave a small note. The characters are funny and interesting. The story is definitely pretty interesting, I'm intrigued and definitely want to dive deeper. The light combat was a little weird to me at first but ended up really liking it as a way to break up the "reading" because visual novels can always kind of be hit and miss, and it is a LOT of reading, so a little action to break that up was super nice. I also like how it's used as a way to get more information/conversation out of the targets. There is lots to do, including just spending time to pet the cat. Give it a shot :)

Loved this game enough to go try to find all the things. :) Still missing a couple extras, not sure about endings but I've seen 2 so far.

This game is amazing! Loved every minute of the 9 hours - had an issue with the dialogue at the beginning for some reason I can't remember and it got better over time. I like the art, characters are well written, story is great, there are at least three intertwining plot points which I like. stories within stories within stories, unlockable extras, fun and clever gameplay, replayable fights/safe mode (which I didn't have to use thankfully), life simulation elements, RPG elements, fantasy story fused with science, interesting political commentary, a good well-rounded group of characters, many jokes and good humor throughout the game, lighthearted and darker moments, and a true ending that didn't destroy my mind for me to find although I got two endings only, and the fact that it has a good true end with a beautiful final CG is great! It's a wonderful, well-rounded game with an enjoyable story and a great sense of closure with the world. Wonderful game!

When it comes to visual novels, we find just too many dating simulators. And among those visual novel games not dating-oriented that I played before, female protagonists were rarely seen and female characters were often linked to some sort of romantic relationship. A true adventure story (not obsessed with romance) with a female protagonist and several lovable female side characters—that's what attracted me in the first place. This said, the setting on itself doesn't make a good game. This game has other merits. The story is intriguing and sensible. Sometimes, I can sense an influence from the real world, but almost nothing appears out of place in an "ancient" background. I also like how characters are depicted to show different images depending on circumstances. This makes them real and it's no easy work. The music is a plus. I'd love to purchase the OST on Steam (if possible). The battle system is easy to master. I'd say the last battle is overly simple. It may not be a good idea to have a complicated battle system for a visual novel game, though. Also, I like the idea of having conversations during the fight, which makes the process less repetitive. Overall, this is a visual…
