The Spell - A Kinetic Novel

I thought this had potential, but it went downhill in a hurry. The first, and best part of the game is when you are reading from the POV of Eloise who just lost her parents in an accident and is being taken care of by her Uncle who she's never met. It gets across the anxiety and helplessness that can come from such a situation, especially when she becomes increasingly suspicious of Uncle Steve. But then the story diverges and you can play from the perspective of two adults, the uncle on one side, and Eloise's teacher on the other. At this point, the story is no longer worth reading. Amateurish writing, nonsensical plot developments, irreedemable main characters, it feels like a child writing what they imagine tough, competent adults to be like from only watching movies about them.

First visual novel I played, was the free version of Her lie I tried to believe and it broke me.....in a positive way. Just now played The Spell. This game is part of a bundle with includes also the extented version of Her lie I trie to believe and a third game. I have from Drunken Cat Purrudoctions ALL their other vn's on my wishlist! And the music, for what I heard in the games I played, is a 10 out of 10. The Spell had it all for me: I loved all the routes, but Steve's broke me. A happy ending? Play it for yourself, to feel the conclude for yourself and feel the vibe!

This is a rather decent story. A little girl loses her parents in an accident, and has to go live with her uncle Steve. But she starts wondering about somethings about her uncle Steve.

This game is amazing. I grew incredibly attached to the main characters, Steve and Eloise. It is mostly a mystery but becomes an incredibly emotional story by the end. Pay attention to the details about the death of Eloise's parents. The writing is subtle, but I think it is incredibly brilliant.

Wow, the ending has really caught me by surprise. Having played [i]Her Lie I Tried to Believe[/i], I knew there would be some twists to the story, and there definitely was. It ended with many questions unanswered. Throughout the story are three characters with their own perspective. The Spell is well narrated offering reasonable insight to each character. There was a fair share of funny moments, awkward ones, and a lot of sorrowful moments. I really felt sympathetic and connected with the characters, their emotions and thoughts were well illustrated (figuratively and literally I suppose). Character design was well done, the music was fitting, and the little details in the art are supplementary. While not all of my questions were answered, I was very happy to play through this VN.

A good short visual novel with views from three different characters, following the same story.
