About FairiTeller
Every life form that dwells within this world is comprised of two halves:
Yang - One's physical body, and
Yin - One's life force.
Over time, creatures learned to harness this life force, and developed the Five Manifests of Yin:
Shroud - To envelop one's body in Yin; boosting attributes like strength, immunity, speed, etc.
Create - To form a worldly item from Yin.
Summon - To conjure a creature from Yin.
Orient - To control the position of objects through Yin.
Mutate - To change the form of one's Yin into one of the four elements.
However, playing as a Fairi, you are unable to use Yin whatsoever.
Instead you must overcome fights, puzzles and decisions all whilst searching for your place in this world.
The road will not be easy, as the majority of the population capable of using Yin frowns upon the Fairi kind.
Thankfully, a partner will soon join you, one capable of gifting the basics of Yin unto you.
Both your decisions will shape the personality of the other...

FairiTeller receives mixed feedback with players divided on its core identity and execution. Critics find it unfocused, describing it as a poorly structured blend of visual novel and RPG elements with lazy pixel art and unclear gameplay direction, while supporters appreciate its writing, art style, and choice systems as a promising foundation that simply needs polish and refinement. The game's pacing and readability are cited as issues by both camps, though some players see potential if the developer commits to expanding and refining the concept.

"FairiTeller" is advertised as an RPG but it's more of a cludge of E-book/Visual novel stuff and a bunch of "is this really a game" gameplay. It's slapped together with GameMaker Studio which explains a lot... not just because GameMaker Studio is godawful garbage that has still never been used to create a truly successful game, but it also tells us a lot about the capability and decision making process for anyone who would try to use it to make a game. And the result, predictably, was a disaster. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 mi…2 found this helpful
I'm not quite sure what it was going for. Played like a mess with a poor direction, pacing, and gameplay mix. Passable music.2 found this helpful
I'd love to see a long, polished version of this. There is quite some work to be done but it looks like a good start!
Great stuff warn, can't wait to get through the whole thing!
Good game with a few different choices to make and nice art style found the witting slightly difficult to read though but would recommend.
