The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe)

This game is an ABSOLUTE GEM that comes straight from the heart. You feel the team’s passion throughout the (available) novellas - all powerful choice driven stories that allow you to develop and represent yourself, explore Celtic mythology, and understand the culture and everyday lives of Irish folks who lived through different times. The Good People has a brilliant UI that makes Irish language easy and accessible with one click translations, definitions, and audio examples available as you read and separately in the index. All (available) paths are wonderfully complex and romantic as hell. They intertwine and intersect, meaning that you’ll want to play them all just to understand the world more deeply. Ultimately I recommend The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) regardless of your interest in mythology/Ireland as it is a damn good read with awesome visual components and music. EARLY ACCESS I know a lot of folks worry about getting a game in early access, but getting it now is not a drawback (imo) with a solid user experience and accessible content, clear communication from the developers, and a history of consistent updates. AUTISM/ADHD Disclaimer I only speak for myself, no…

Love the game so far, the setting, characters & intrigue make me want to learn more about Ireland's history & folklore. I'm looking forward to when more of the story becomes avalable.

I backed this game on Kickstarter and you can find my name in the credits as a beta tester :D I'm always a sucker for good writing and this game has that in spades. Mystery, intrigue, and love, occasionally. Having a platonic route option is so good, probably one of my favorite parts about this dating sim. I am actually married to one thing and one thing only and that is the plot -- but I can kiss Keagan on the side if he's okay with it <3 The choice leave such a lasting impact, it's not just a response to dialogue or character interaction but a real way of shaping your own experience of the narrative. There are so many scenes in the prologue/demo that I didn't get to see the first time because I didn't go down a specific set of choices. This game thrives on multiple playthroughs, which is why you'll find so many varied play times in the review section. There's also a lot of silliness outside of the writing, which I try to dig for instead of playing through the routes like I'm supposed to. I am currently in about a thousand horse coin of debt and I've never been happier. Unlock horse mode. It will not disappoint you.

What a fantastic game! so polished, so fun, a super interesting, unfolding story. I can't wait for more routes, but I would encourage people to get the game now, it's an excellent deal for the amount of content you get, and play through the content available! It's so much fun, there's a great community around it, I am just so excited to see this game come to life! Amazing job to the team, I wish I could formulate all of my thoughts but the art is so gorgeous, the characters are rich and interesting and lovely and meaningful and there's so many fun little secrets to find!!

First MAJOR minus for me The Ui is pretty uncomfortable, I literally getting lost in the menu each time I start to re-check updates. I have a paid ver. but can't go further than in the free version, when the full game would be released will I still be unable to play, what letter is game trying to get out of me? Should I continue to other book or what? How I now if i should proceed? With which book I should procced If they are always shuffling because of one inaccurate click? Why is this whole system is so unintuitive and uncomfortable? Otherwise chars are charming, story is atmospheric and engaging. I really hope you will polish UI, too

Played this game for multiple stream segments during the Fall in Love Visual Novel festival; I can honestly say that I had so much fun with this title, and the creative minds behind it did a fantastic job! The characters are well designed and are a feast for the eyes, the lore in just the first volume alone was enough to keep me engaged, and the dialogue was ever so whimsical and silly. I would wholeheartedly recommend this if you're looking for a fun visual novel title that will leave you wanting more!
