Only just started and I already love this game so much. I love otome visual novels but my biggest pet peeve is when we're given a variety of options that change nothing about the paths we takes, and only change the ending. I love how in this game, every choice leads us to a different path with new experiences. Instead of having to go over the same paths over and over a again, while guessing different combos in hopes that something changes, we get and entirely new story every time. It doesn't just add to the replay but it actually makes replaying the game ENJOYABLE. nothing but 10s around the board.
SPOILER WARNING but if i had a critique to add, I wish Cirrus didn't have that one ending. think it makes sense to have his character be utterly heartless, but I think selling us off as an indentured servant instead of a... you know know what would've given the same bite of disappointment and reality shock w/o making him irredeemable.
Either way I'm gonna pretend like that ending doesn't exist, and quietly simp for him because im a delulu masochist. *shrug*
This is the first game I downloaded and played in itch.io. But damn. I regret doing that. This game is too good it made every other game lackluster. From the visual art, the character designs, the dialogues, and the main character? This is easily the best among its kind. It gave me a lot of wtf moments, the good kind of shock, especially since my very first ending was Cirrus' worst ending. I hate that guy and that made me love the game so much more. I'll be waiting for the next chapters to come, so thanks for the fun Rotten Raccoons ;>
Francesco and Oleander are both found in the same scene from the "Leave" choice, since they're attending the same party. The only choice that decides if you go to Oleander or Francesco is if you go towards the laughing crowd, or the wealthy stranger.
wow. hate to say that I really like Cirrus. Hes a bastard- don't get me wrong- but I think his character is very interesting- poor MC though, they don't deserve that.
Is anyone else kinda disgusted by Cirrus? I played the whole thing and got all the endings and Cirrus’s worst ending really left a bad taste ( I wouldn’t say it ruined the rest of the game but it sat in my head). Damn if that one was just different I’d also love him like the other characters. I liked his design the most but now I can’t see him the same sob,,
Mc deserved better grahhh
Despite that, the rest of the game is amazing, spent like 7 hours completing it. And seeing Francesco sad is so heartbreaking omg </3
Loving the game so far. The art is beautiful, and the audio design is so good, I feel like I'm there. Only done Keir's route for now, but I'm already invested. Probably gonna try Cirrus next.
SPOILERS - I have just one very little complaint: I wish I could refuse to toast with the team after the mission, because I'm still super pissed at Keir. Would be nice to have an option to simply leave the bar and go to Keir's home instead of celebrating with them.
This was AMAZING !! I just spent an all-nighter playing through all the routes and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with every single aspect of the game. The art is subdued and simple but it goes supremely well with the ambiance, the sound design has some very very nice moments, and the writing is absolutely exquisite. The MC in particular is among the best, if not the best MC I've ever had the pleasure of playing in similar games. Though the inner monologue is well done, the dialogues in particular are just my brand of wit and maturity.
Will be highly recommending this to everyone who'll lend me their ears, and will play the next episode as soon as it releases. Please keep giving this project your love and care raccoons, because I truly believe you have a cult classic in the making here !
i absolutely loved the darker feel of this game, i've been itching for something like this for so long! francesco is my darling, i want to wreck that man but also cuddle the life out of him. he's just so adorable.
can't wait for future chapters and gods please tell me we get to dom cirrus at some point bc as a dom myself his route wasn't doing it for me but GOD do i want to tug on that pretty hair thank you.
guys anyone got a good ending with Cirrus since i followed the guide yet i end up in the same spot in the back of the church , maybe it will be available in the upcoming chapters since it seems achieving 3 point won't be enough for him lmao considering his personality , no harms in my words .
[DISCLAIMER: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BUT ITS PURPOSE IS FOR GUIDANCE}
It may be a late response but if u still desire assistance, here r my guidelines you, Firstly I obeyed Cirrus` s older and chose the option of {lustful} or something along the line and enjoyed the prayer.
Now the next day, confront Cirrus` when you walk in on him forcefully ordering a man to end his own life. And allow Cirrus to punish you. Then the next set of orders when you` ve gained consciousness feel open to request what you desire from him but I advice you to choose the hug and disclude the option, where you requiring space. After that the dialogue continues, and you'll successfully achieve the ending (*Promise: I will keep you safe.*) I hope this was a helpful ^^.
my heart fluttered when he said he would keep me safe lmao , thank you so much , tbh i played this game like maybe months ago and i remember the trauma from me being killed by him or his mobs so i read the guide this week and when i reached the church section i immediately closed it off saying there's no happy ending with him so it maybe my mistake since i didn't follow the guide properly lmao but i'm really happy , thank you a lot dear !!! i'm waiting for the next chapters but i would probably be out of my country by then gahhhh ( sobbb) ....
i don't remember this but were you able to get a good ending since i followed the guide yet i always end up to the scene where i've to choose whether i interfere or walk away either choice i'm locked in a bad ending lmao or will it be available in the upcoming chapters !
Dear Rotten Raccoons, I played all Oleander's ending. It was really something. Overall, the game is really lovely.
Spoiler alert maybe?(Oleander Route):
- The interaction between the player and Oleander is nice and flirtatious, he has big ego but at least he's (kind of) aware of it.
- About Oleander's good ending, it was nice but traumatic. How do I say it?
- I was actually expecting something big and bold and in the end of the good ending I felt safe (?) somehow with Oleander's presence even though knowing there will be dangerous paths incoming to the future chapters by choosing Oleander.
- Being with Oleander feels like you're a prisoner and he's a knight and at the same time he's a knight who protects you and keeps you (?). Toxic love, more or less.
- I love how you guys thought about Oleander's name, Oleander is a beautiful plant but a dangerous one.
developer's original words: Chapter 1.5 will be free forever. When it’s time to release Chapter 2, we will charge for the game at a discounted rate. If you buy the game during the early access period, you will get Chapter 3 for free when it comes out. After Chapter 3 is released the game will be done and we will take it out of early access and charge full price for it.
This a gem I stumbled upon. There are no words to describe just how good this game is. Like genuinely my jaw kept dropping throughout the whole game. From the intro to the different endings and the little details, nothing was left out. The major effort put into this game shows in every aspect. I must admit, it is quite hard for me to catch genuine interest in a game, but this one got me fully invested and I played it non-stop. It got me eager for updates. It's just so rich in many areas and there's room for all sorts of feelings. The game actually has a lore itself, it's not just about the four characters, which I personally liked. All the characters are SOO FINEEE. I actually find, personally, for the mc to usually get kind of annoying when it comes to this type of games, but this mc definitely never seemed annoying to me at all, they are actually very interesting themselves. To be just the first chapter, the game is already so impressive. I'm so excited for the next chapter. IDC HOW LONG I GOTTA WAIT, I WILL BE HERE WAITING. This game is now in my top favorites, and seriously, it is a must-play if you are into this type of games.
PS: I absolutely loved the aftercare feature. I likely won't be needing it myself, but I find it to be such a sweet thought. I believe that such future should be implemented in more games of this type, it can be very useful. It just shows how much the devs care for their players, honestly.
(I am so sorry for the big ahh paragraph, but I needed to describe just how good this game is.)
Guys i'm sad since there's no good ending with Cirrus i mean like i want to end with him but you know his real self ( face ) , for those who played the demo , i want to know if there's a good ending please !
It's available in the game already! You can download the pdf Ending Guide to get instructions on how to get Cirrus' good end, since it's a pretty specific list of requirements.
im actually in love with this game ohhhh my god. the visuals, the characters, the MUSIC, the little shadowy sprites for other background characters... its all put together so thoughtfully
The art is phenomenal, the characterization is phenomenal, and the setting is phenomenal. Every character has such depth that makes them feel rather real; of course, they each have their theatrics and quirks that are fitting for fiction, but I digress, they're written well! I especially enjoy that the MC has their own business to focus on, pitting some interactions as annoying rather than endearing (to the MC, if one chooses). I eat up the hilarious dialog exchanges that ensue each time. Lastly, the worldbuilding is a bundle of mystery and intrigue that I'm genuinely invested in, and I find myself feeling easily immersed in the world. Actual last thing; again, the writing is delicious. Tension and suspense and character exchanges, they're all written so wonderfully. I cannot accurately describe how nice this game is. I look forward to the future, regardless of the wait!
This game is so interesting yet terrifying and uncomfortable (lol) but i'll continue playing because the story is great and i'm hoping ill be able to save the mc and they can get their deserved happy ending!
hiii I’ve been going through some trouble trying to download games on my phone is it even possible to download games from here I just got an iPhone 15 and I genuinely don’t know how to download games
I have just finished Cirrus's and Keir's best end routes and I can say I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!! the Aftercare accsssible through the safeword is so sweet to have >< every game should have one !
I have only done Oleander's route so far, but I am in love with this game already! Also, out of curiosity, I did the aftercare thing, and that is so, so sweet. I likely won't need it, but it's wonderful that it's there. I can't wait for the game to come out. I'm so excited for what comes next with Oleander's and am certainly going to go for all the others as well.
This game is so cool omg like, THE VISUALS???? EXCUSE ME?? And the NPCs are so adorable, Im IN LOVE with this game. I can't wait for the full ver !! Also, no words can describe how much I love my bbg Keir.
Anyways, I definitely recommend that game if you're into Dark Romance !!
Hi Devs! I was looking to redownload the game for the valentines day update, but I could only download the ending guide? I looked up why I couldn't download the game files again, and I think it might have to do with the zip files on itch.io needing to be tagged with which platforms it can be used for. Correct me if I'm wrong!
Just thought I'd let you know, and I can't wait for chapter 2! <3 (Btw, you don't know how much I love the freckles/sun spots on Kier's shoulders and arms. I'm FOAMING AT THE MOUTH)
I have only played Cirrus so far and I absolutely loved his route. It woke up my priest kink again... and I was playing so shamelessly the first time that I was sure I was going to have the bad ending ! hahahaaa !! So I was so delighted to have his best ending, and I can't wait to play more <3
I can't see it , are you supposed to do someones route for it first ? I've done Oleander's and keir's but not the rest ( awesome game btw thanks for the hard work !)

does anyone know how to start the francesco route? i'm in the prolouge and none of the options i choose start his route 😭
in the crowd scene, leaving just takes me to oleander's route
Francesco and Oleander are both found in the same scene from the "Leave" choice, since they're attending the same party. The only choice that decides if you go to Oleander or Francesco is if you go towards the laughing crowd, or the wealthy stranger.
OHH thank you so much!
Woah, Cirrus is disgusting. I'm sold.
RIGHT?? SAME
wow. hate to say that I really like Cirrus. Hes a bastard- don't get me wrong- but I think his character is very interesting- poor MC though, they don't deserve that.
Cirrus' worst end made my mouth FALL OPEN IN SHOCK WTF BRO
Is anyone else kinda disgusted by Cirrus? I played the whole thing and got all the endings and Cirrus’s worst ending really left a bad taste ( I wouldn’t say it ruined the rest of the game but it sat in my head). Damn if that one was just different I’d also love him like the other characters. I liked his design the most but now I can’t see him the same sob,,
Mc deserved better grahhh
Despite that, the rest of the game is amazing, spent like 7 hours completing it. And seeing Francesco sad is so heartbreaking omg </3
same. tbh that kind of actually ruined the game for me and i lost interest in the rest of the characters
I liked it personally and I think it's great when games don't shy away from dark themes.
I also like games who dont shy away from dark themes. Still, tastes can be different nontheless
Loving the game so far. The art is beautiful, and the audio design is so good, I feel like I'm there. Only done Keir's route for now, but I'm already invested. Probably gonna try Cirrus next.
SPOILERS - I have just one very little complaint: I wish I could refuse to toast with the team after the mission, because I'm still super pissed at Keir. Would be nice to have an option to simply leave the bar and go to Keir's home instead of celebrating with them.
Please!! Add this one, I was so upset at them >:( even if it is skipping the toast, and the scene continues
This was AMAZING !! I just spent an all-nighter playing through all the routes and I must say I am thoroughly impressed with every single aspect of the game. The art is subdued and simple but it goes supremely well with the ambiance, the sound design has some very very nice moments, and the writing is absolutely exquisite.

I'd like to translate the game if you are interested. Please contact me on lacristinaura.translator@gmail.com
guys anyone got a good ending with Cirrus since i followed the guide yet i end up in the same spot in the back of the church , maybe it will be available in the upcoming chapters since it seems achieving 3 point won't be enough for him lmao considering his personality , no harms in my words .
I got all of his endings, guide worked for me for ending "He will protect you", if that what you asking.
thank you !

Stumbled upon Cirrus first and to his good ending, that was soooooooooo good. Led by Lunar God to the fate, no doubt.
Loved the style, color scheme, soundtrack. Exited to see more of the story, hope to see some lore of the world.
I am not ashamed to say that I love this first chapter and Keir is babygirl.
I'll come back to this and say that... CIRRUS!!!!
Cirrus you make me nauseaous, MC deserves better
(
i'm sorry, I'm not used to horror, I actually believed he was a good guy then he sold me and hit me, how could I not be upset?)edit : I see people downvoted me even though I was being as nice as I could about it.. Alright, he's disgusting, manipulative and a bad person.
sold??? i only got to the bit when he makes mc sit in rice or whatever
yep it's the 'Cirrus got bored of you' ending. not only that but he lied and said we were doing it for our own benefit
i don't remember this but were you able to get a good ending since i followed the guide yet i always end up to the scene where i've to choose whether i interfere or walk away either choice i'm locked in a bad ending lmao or will it be available in the upcoming chapters !
This game is so good, I played it a while back but all the routes are fresh and interesting I cant wait to see how this game progresses!
AHH SO GOOODDD, I LITETALLY CAN NOT WAIT FOR THE FULL GAME, also I love Kier sm sm smmmm <3333 Fabelaktigt!

how do you trigger the valentines update
Hi Devs! I was looking to redownload the game for the valentines day update, but I could only download the ending guide? I looked up why I couldn't download the game files again, and I think it might have to do with the zip files on itch.io needing to be tagged with which platforms it can be used for. Correct me if I'm wrong!

How do you access the Valentine's Day Story?
The bonus story can be found in the Extras menu once you've unlocked it.
I can't see it , are you supposed to do someones route for it first ? I've done Oleander's and keir's but not the rest ( awesome game btw thanks for the hard work !)
