Oblivion Maiden

Oblivion Maiden is a story-focused fantasy adventure that combines magical-school life, exploration, mystery, and surreal dream sequences into a compact experience. Developed and published by Project Ex Libris, it begins with an unusual premise in which the protagonist watches a video and suddenly finds their consciousness transported to St. Dorothia Academy, a mysterious school of magic hidden deep within an ancient forest. Instead of immediately explaining everything about this strange situation, the game allows curiosity to drive the experience, gradually introducing the academy, its students, and the supernatural mysteries surrounding them. St. Dorothia Academy is easily one of the game's most appealing elements. The setting mixes the familiar routines of student life with an underlying feeling that something unusual could happen at any moment. Players can explore the academy, attend classes, complete assignments, interact with students, and discover more about the strange world they have entered. The peaceful school environment creates an effective contrast with the supernatural events that gradually emerge. Its pixel-art presentation gives the surroundings a nostalgic charac…

Very sweet little game! The arts are absolutely gorgeous, with voice acting as well! Plus I'm very interested in the world's premise! 9/10 So far, there are still many things that don't seem to make sense or fit in the story for me, but I feel like this will be expanded upon if there are to be more installments. Puzzle-wise, the game can still very hand-holdy, but since its optional (through the choice of interacting with the cat), I think it's a neat addition. I was quite confused with the directions at points, not knowing what to interact with or where to get things, but I still enjoyed it as a whole. Other than that, you generally don't get to do much since everything is either "inaccessible" or is very limited. For a (presumably) first game, though, it's quite solid. Looking forwards to upcoming projects! Definitely not biased opinion from a jrpg enthusiast: 8.5/10

Good short 1-2 hour game to pass the time

I enjoyed it!

Although a bit disjointed in narrative, the game's highly charming presentation with polished pixel art and intriguing premise make for a decent taste into a broader world. It made me want to come back and look out for new stories in this universe!

I played this game because a friend of mine asked me to, and I had zero expectations coming into it. I was blown away by the super high quality in this free game!! It is short but sweet, with a lot of care and effort clearly put in each of all the characters and stories. I ADORED all the time I spent playing in this. The art is also so gorgeous, and the puzzles are not too hard, with helpful hints you can choose to use if you so wish it. I highly recommend this game, an easy 10/10 and totally worth your time!!!!
