Fortune Fragments

What a treat of a visual novel. The writing and the world-building were top-notch, and I loved the hex tile placement puzzle gameplay from the fortune reading. Characters had depth and I liked some more than others. I could not be an unbiased fortune teller. Plus I liked how my choices really mattered and how much replayability there is considering different endings I could have gotten. My only criticism of the game is that some of the older characters didn't really look their age; though that is quite minor and didn't impact my immersion. Highly recommend Fortune Fragments!

I'm on my second playthrough now. I really like this game, it's original but not unfamiliar. I love the puzzle mechanics, there's a gentle learning curve but also genuine challenge. I would recommend this to people who like puzzle games with story, like Chants of Sennaar. Literally my [b]only[/b] complaint is that [spoiler]Basil's secret was way too obvious and it definitely affected my choices. I guessed his secret the moment I first saw his soul stone, the visual clue was too easy. Perhaps, if there had been something to subvert my initial guess, I might have doubted myself, but as the game went on there was nothing that made me doubt I was correct.[/spoiler]

I bought the game out of support for the devs without much expectations for the actual game and I ended up having a very good time. The game is polished and the puzzles are addictive. The worldbuilding is interesting and the game has a great atmosphere. Usually the story doesn't matter that much to me in games like this, but here there were more than a few moments the choices actually felt meaningful and I'd have to pause to weigh options. The puzzles are cleverly designed and there was enough variance to keep me engaged. After a while I found myself using a couple of favorite runes over and over. I learned some trusted combos that net hundreds of points(?) easily. Despite that, the game offered enough challenge by introducing new mechanics and constraints all the way.

I got this game from a steam key, and I am so grateful I got the opportunity to play. This game has been so fun, and I am enjoying the mysteries, puzzles, character art and storyline. I really hope the farther in the story the more I get to learn about the people of Clearcastle! I would love to see some wallpapers based off the game sometime soon, the game is so beautiful.

This game's design and music is soo beautiful. I do not usually get very far in visual novel games but this one had me hooked. I enjoy the runes aspect of the game and how easy the tutorial was to follow. The characters are wonderfully written as well. Definitely see myself playing this further.

Love it when I can keep my demo progress!
