The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe)

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!!

Unfortunately I feel like this game is going to be highly slept on in terms of how brilliant it truly is, though I'm knocking on wood in hopes to be proven wrong. Practicality-wise, I did not have much trouble playing it, the mechanics are fairly sound, and the visuals are slightly simplistic in execution yet stunningly beautiful in the way they portray this world of which we are introduced. This game spoke to me on a spiritual level I can only begin to put into words. It is honest about the devastation of colonialism; how its effects have the ability to reach quantum dimensions of other realms our world is attached. The characters are viscerally real in their approach to life and their goals; their passion for existence and their loved ones is palpable. Every portrayal of magic is has some portion of itself rooted in alchemic or intentional logic and allows one to suspend the limits of their imagination easily when playing. I think one of my absolute favorite parts, as someone who has always enjoyed learning languages, was picking up some Gaeilge through this game. At this point in human existence it's been calculated in a 2020 study that every 14 days a language goes extinct, so …

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!
