If have story after this might be great
another uncaught range error message :(
The browser version doesn't work sadly. It says that "Error: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (see JavaScript console for details)". Aside from that, the actual visual novel itself has a cool premise, especially with the themes of the Isekai. Because of the limitation of the jam, I think it caused the plot to become a bit more convoluted and confusing.
The premise of the village is intriguing and I wished it was explored a bit more, and if we could have a bit more connection with Kyle and what MC learned about the webnovel that they were reading. I felt like it was a missed opportunity, especially since it felt like the Isekai theme didn't really seem relevant to the plot since Kyle already explained about it.
I feel like it's a rough work but there's a lot of potential in it. But I understand the limitations you guys had, but other than that it was a fun little visual novel.
Nope,not loading(Not hating btw)
This game has concepts and the art is super pretty. There were many grammatical errors however the fact that the flower can also give you fire powers as well kinda came out of nowhere. The plot was kinda all over the place and at one point it mentioned that the boy is an antagonist? Maybe it was referring to something else and I read that wrong.
I apologize if this review seems more negative. I hope you continue developing your writing style and want to play your other games as well.
Really love this game. Although it's very short, it has a great and interesting concept with good execution. Pretty art and Kyle is... Interesting. The music is fitting for the atmosphere too.
[Spoiler about Kyle's actions toward the player]
For a 10 years old kid, his mindset is mature enough. Which is make sense, since the situation that force him to "sacrifice" his childhood, in order to survive. And his actions sure are bold. He tied and drug us. I mean, normally, if you encounter a stranger near your house and decide to save them, you wouldn't tie them up, right? I think he's a kinda selfish person too, for many reasons. I also wonder what his reactions will be, if we choose no, when he asks us to wish upon the flower. Really interesting and curious about future antagonist Kyle. Also, it seems that we got isekai'd? Just wanna be sure. I don't know what I'm thinking honestly.
Short, but very well executed! I really enjoyed this, and that little glimpse into the world you created for it was compelling - and the side notes you posted on here are all the more interesting! I'd definitely be interested in playing more of this if you ever do anything else with it~
(Also, love the art!)
Thank you! I have future plan to build more upon this world in a bigger game, but that might take a while.
Very nice game!
Very intriguing story and the art is beautiful too ๐๐๐
If you ever decide to make a longer game out of this, to explore it, I'd love to play it ๐
Thank you! I already had a future game plan using the alternative universe of this game without player interference as the setting, you might even see the character already grown up.
It's still in early planning phrase though, and will be quite long until I can update anything about it, but definitely in my to-do-list!
The art is so pretty <3
Thank you, glad you liked it :D
Very nice game! The artwork and especially the main title art is a masterpiece.
Thanks! :D
The artwork is really pretty, and the story intriguing! Great job! ^^
Thank you!
The concept was so interesting. I liked it a lot!
I'm curious what's the fate of Kyle who was supposed to have become the antagonist?
This was another bad end that I didn't have enough words to write. I wrote about it in a dev log so people wouldn't be spoiled by the comment.
