pro: you get a kitty con: you cannot pet the kitty 9/10 add kitty petting mechanic or I'll cry

Not gonna lie this game turned out to be more fun than i originally thought it was going to be. I thought I was about to play a so bad its funny type game but ended up getting pulled in. the areas you and characters you interact with are all unique there's a welcomes level of difficulty to the combat and the story is fun. yes the game could be better in some areas but for what it is now it's enjoyable so i say give it a shot and look forward to the interesting ideas the creators have in store for future games

Wow, what a great game. Johnny said I was cool! It really made me feel like I was a powerful weatherweaver. Pros: Johnny Johnny told me I was cool Johnny is so dreamy Cons: I can't go in Johnny's bedroom Johnny wont talk to me anymore unless he has a purple ! over his head. Overall, I'd say this game is nearly perfect. Just wish I could go in Johnny's bedroom. I really want to know what kind of stuff he has in there. I bet he has boat shoes...

Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments (especially if the students didn't even pass the course). Sure, it helps their marketing and helps the students feel good about themselves, but this is another case of a business putting themselves before the needs of gamers. This is a rather mediocre and uninspired 3D adventure game where you take on the role of a young anime girl witch and you have to stop some elements, which means wandering around and engaging in some unengaging turn based combat. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game desi…
