Why did you summom this TERRORIST group on platform RedBook to attack female gamers? Are you connected to them or just for the stupid marketing method?What is you up to?You can delect all of this but i will ask you once and once again. Shame on your!
I knew there was something about
At least I tried
Visual novels will give you a single 2 choice question in 2 cpters and call it a game bro go write a comic or sm loll love the art tho especially the backgrounds are super cute
SO CUTE I LOVE ITTT
there's so many plot-twists, and the art is so pretty. this game is actually really good and wholesome \(T0T)/

Gorgeous gorgeous art and a story that kept me hooked.

很美的画风
Is there a walkthrough available for this game? I want to unlock the true ending.
I made a walkthrough myself after finishing the game. There are 4 bad endings and 1 normal end and 1 true end.
Ending 1 - Unearned Trust
Choose : Trust Olivia
Ending 2 - Curiosity Killed the Cat
Choose : Flee immediately
Ending 3 - Because I Loved You
Choose : Accept Edward's pleas
Ending 4 - The Buried Truth
Choose : Olivia (when prompted about who to ask about the curse)
Normal end - The Eternal Nest
Choose : Inform Edward first
True ending - The First Step of a Journey
Choose : Stop the ritual first
The other options just vary in dialogue. They offer no significant ending.
The art and music combined is just pure perfection <3
JP VA took me by surprise and i had to mute it otherwise it affected my reading, and the story is quite long so be prepared to read for hours!
i got the Normal Ending: The Eternal Nest on my first run, will try again another day for the True Ending~!
I already played this game last year, but coming now to let a comment, this game is a work of art. The art is amazing, the soundtrack, the mystery and characters, the tension the PLOT TWIST, is just absolutely insane. This game starts slow, slowly building up the suspense and when it gets the drill it has you hooked! Play with no fear! You will love it! <3
(spoilers alert!!!)
does "sacrificing" Brandon while killing Olivia in chapter 12 lead to the true ending...? I'm just too eager to know...
I downloaded this game today for Windows and not sure why but I can't get the game application to open at all :( I've tried uninstalling and installing again + resetting my PC. Neither which have worked. Does anyone have any advice? I really want to play this game! 😭😭
did you extract the game yet? your supposed to extract it first before your able to play it
yeppp i've extracted it already! 🥲 but it still doesn't work..
I am baffled that this game is not on Steam!
The art itself is very nice, but it's the story, and it's depth and twists and turns that really draws you in. As well as Edward himself of course.
I can't recall the last time I had to skip to the end of a Visual Novel to avoid sensory overload, but this one makes you NEED to know the ending.
(I am no fan of suspense, I always read detective novels from the end. ^_^; )
It grabs a hold of you and pulls you in while you sit at the edge of your seat biting your nails as you read on.
Which is to say; This story could easily compete with non Visual Novel games such as Black Mirror (developed by KING Art on Steam), Heart of the House (Choice of Games), and (while not in the same category), possibly even The Sinking City.
The story is captivating, and the prince haunted and beautiful.
I have only played one ending, so I can't say if the endings are good or bad, but I seem to have gotten one that was a little.... typical for a redemption story.
Not my favorite, but it IS a classic one for a reason.
And it IS very well-written.
I shall have to read and re-read this story to get the full scope of it.
And I really hope this game will be put up on Steam so I can add it to my collection.
I don't know why I started this game expecting it to be a nice stroll through the park but the way this game had me on edge until the ending was truly unexpected.......I really liked this game!!!! I loved its vibe and really enjoyed playing! I visibly gasped just like Eddie did when the plot twist came up! did not regret playing this game!!!!
The true ending is truly incredible. The revelations, dramatic moments, and sweet ending... All beautiful.
I got true ending first try let's go!! very nice game. i honestly just played for the visuals but the lore is insane!!! definitely recommend
me while playing this game:
EVERYTHING in this game is so wonderful. THE STORY, THE PLOTS, THE ARTWORKS, THE CHARACTERS, THE EFFORT? IT'S SO GOOD, ACTUALLY BEYOND GOOD!!! Even though it stressed me a lot, it didn't fail to surprise me with every scene. Also, the fact that I got every ending made me think Clara is tired of me. I NEVER LOVED A GAME THIS SO MUCH!!!!🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Now that I've got the "True Ending" I'm gonna proceed to cry. 😭
wow
This game is so amazing and thank, you for the adventure that this game put me on
It's sooooo good! I enjoyed every bit of it, the story was perfect. Thank you so much for this beautiful game! Amazing work! <3
I enjoyed every second playing this game. What a lovely story
AMAZING I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE GAME OMGGGGGGGG SOBS HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU
Best story ever
Oh my darling, Edward! Good thing I trusted my gut and got you the true ending🤧🤧
Oh my, such a beautiful story
I loved it. It was an amazing game, kinda wish there were more. Thank you
By far my favorite game of all time! I have never played such an amazing game before. The story and characters really touched my heart, it felt like I was there with them <3 The art and music were so good too😭
I got the "True Ending" First try!! I love this story very much! Thank you for your hard work!!😭💗💗 I LOVE EDWARD AND CLARA!! of course, you too sir Brandon🫵😊
好喜欢好喜欢好喜欢好喜欢
哈哈哈
哈哈哈
哈哈哈
The game came up from Epic Games, and the system requirements also include "Korean" in the supporting language, but when I ran it, I can't see it, so I ask if you're going to add it one day
We're planning to release an updated version, possibly as early as this week!
Its sooo stunning
Oh my, such a beautiful story 😭💕
I'm so in love with all the characters (even the antagonist). Great job, dev~
I don't think I've ever played such an enchanting otome before. I can see the though and effort that was put into this game. Everything in this game is the meaning of perfect
As someone who hardly write reviews, please, just download this game and play. The soundtrack is amazing and the biggest part is the Art, the ART is amazing.
The mysteries of this story is magnificent, it started in a slow pace, but then gradually began taking form and everything started to make sense. Clara is an amazing mc, she is loyal, mature but is yet gentle and playfull. And Edward... oh Edward... the man you are. Everything this man had to endure, yet he remained a innocent and gentle boy, i truly love him. Aside from the main character, the side characters were AMAZING! The trio between Clara, Alice and Thomas was so fun seeing their dynamic, and Brandon as well, even Lady Jane who doesnt appear often, this game felt like it was alive.
So please, give this game a try, it will be worth!
中文翻译质量太高 ,感谢制作组带来这么温暖的故事和男女主!
