Salvus: Aries

im mixed on my feelings about this game. It's pretty buggy and breaks the flow of reading in ways that are really frustrating. Setting a custom name has been the worst since voice lines use the MC's real name and certain text boxes also use the default name. Additionally, muting certain characters voices only works sometimes. The skip feature has a similar problem where it will sometimes skip unread text even when the settings forbid it. The game is genuinely really good, but the technical problems are rather frustrating. ill change this review when these get fixed

Please Korean subtitles... PLZ... The audio volume is inconsistent, so it seems necessary to adjust it separately. Also, the voices of the voice actors are so charming and the characters are so beautiful that I think it would be great to make it all full voice. I really wish there were Korean subtitles.

The game is alright so far, but the main character can be really frustrating at times. I also would've liked more meaningful choices throughout the story, though that's just my personal preference. (And really wished Rune would be romanceable lol.)

demo so good I had to get the early access immediately. I binge-played all of the demo (of which, omg, 50k word demo is insane) and NEEDED MORE. I played more than 9 hours since I originally played the demo on itch.io, then bought the EA here on steam, so I had to click through all of common route and the demo boys' routes all over again before I played the rest of Valefar's route. I would approximate the true hours played to be around 18 hours, excluding me painstakingly clicking through all of the demo's content again in the EA. Orias is best boy 100% (I love tsunderes, don't judge me) and is perfect both as a love interest and as Aina's best friend in the other boys' routes. The order of the main boys for me based purely on the demo goes Orias > Seir > Xaphan > Caym > Valefar, but the early release of Valefar's route (at the time of writing, his is the only full route released) made me love him. Just with Valefar's route alone, the three endings were so unexpected in the best way (I even teared up at the normal route's ending), so based on the demo routes for the other boys, I'm so curious to see what direction the other routes go. The story is already peak, and I know that i…

I've played for much longer than 3 hours, believe me. I have many hours on both the demo and the itch.io version of the game. It's just such a compelling story and very well-written. The art is so pretty and I love all the character interactions. The voice actors re top-notch (I can't wait until all the lines get coded in <3 swoon <3) Plus the soundtrack is SO GOOD! Bless them for adding music gallery 🙏 This whole thing is delightful, and I'm glad we have early access so I can get my fix while the game is still being worked on so I don't have to wait so long. You can definitely tell the writer is a fan of the genre. Sometimes you play an otome and something just doesn't feel right, but this is checking all the boxes so far

Firstly, thank you for giving me this game to try out. I have went through the highs and lows of this game and cried my heart out so much. Great voice acting, although sometimes inconsistent. Hopefully those missing lines get voiced soon! Storyline was slowly paced but it was well explained in a sense. Although I do hope for an option to see the affection meters of the characters as you wouldn't know if you had enough to achieve a certain ending. Audio wise, some were loud, some were low. Might need to adjust this as well. Art is BEAUTIFUL. Made it into my desktop background tbh. I'd give this a solid 7/10 ❤️
