At first I thought the choices were few and a lot of important things passed before we could actually made any so I did not really feel the game part but playing it, it was obvious choices really matter.
With so many characters it's an ambitious project. By the way the cliffhanger was horrible... Truly sadistic.
But I'm curious to see what will become of this game.
:X I am sorry for the lack of easier/ obvious choices to help I posted a post-mortem with cheat answers to get all the good choices so u can get all the third scenes of each character as well as the sides story in the extra window.
:X I know it is ambitious work, especially since it's my first, but I will do my best to finish this game.
n I am sorry for the way I put the cliffhanger :X ahahaha... my bad habit with my writing.
This was a really cool game!! The story got me really invested, it felt like I was watching an anime from my teens!! It's the first time I played it but it made me feel nostalgic π₯°β€οΈ
The characters all had very different personalities, which is quite hard to do with a game that has so many, but I think it was done really well. The backgrounds and UI were beautiful and I really liked the other art as well! The CGs were especially captivating and gosh, that opening with the animations was so cool! The music was very fitting too, I particularly enjoyed the tracks that seemed more fantasy-like and magical.
I enjoyed playing as Yuuna a lot. She has a difficult background but doesn't mind standing her ground when someone is being unfair (even after her etiquette training). As for the love interests, some made more of an impact on me than others; my favorites are Makoto, Raiji and Jun. Makoto has this seriousness combined with bashfulness that makes him really endearing, Raiji's friendlyness made me instantly like him a whole lot and Jun... well, what can I say, I really enjoy characters that start off as assholes and then slowly warm up to the MCs xD
I think the only things I would critique are 2. First, I think the script needs a little bit more of editing. Not because of typos or anything along those lines, but mainly because there is an inconsistency in the used verb tense. There are times when the story is told in the present tense but then switches to past tense and vice versa.
Secondly, the other critique (feel free to ignore if you don't agree, of course, this is just my personal opinion) is that I feel that the worldbuilding loses a bit on impact by having so many Japanese connotations. Nothing wrong with Japan inspiration, of course, many games have them and it's awesome! It's just that, in the case of this game, despite the story taking place in a fictional world, the characters have a lot of very japanese phrases like "-san" or "-sama" and even references to other Japanese things. If that is the intention, of course, feel free to ignore me, but if the idea is to make a different world altogether, one that doesn't have anything to do with Japan, I think the worldbuilding would become much stronger without these Japanese connotations. Maybe creating a new word for Kendo? Or using "Miss/Mr" instead of "Yuuna-san", and "Your highness" instead of "-sama" whenever characters are talking among themselves?
Edit: Ignore the second point, you already confirmed it's set in fantasy Japan so it makes sense that the story has a lot of japanese connotations π
That's pretty much all, cause the rest I absolutely loved and I'm really looking forward to the new chapters!! π₯°β€οΈ Awesome job from you and your team, Yui!! ππ

This game is amazing! The story is intriguing and the characters very interesting. And the protagonist is so fierce, I loved it!
I'm looking forward to playing the full version! Good luck with the development!
Thank you ^^ will work hard for the next chapter :)
Wow! Nicely done!
First impressions:
* Video trailer = Impressive! Professional anime look and feel. Very classy and I'm totally blown away.
* Story = Intriguing. Love a lower caste with magical potential. I like to root for the underdog, so the story premise I already love.
* Programming = Cool! Love the highlighted character so you know who's talking.
* Art = Beautiful. From title screen, logo, character sprites, background.
Thank you, hope you enjoy the over all game as well ^^
