I finished the game quickly and loved the writing, art, and characters! It’s a bit short, and I missed a date with Elizabeth. Would love a retry feature for missed dates and clearer save points. Excited for the next update and more content
With a nickname like you yours, it is no wonder you missed Elizabeth's date. Change it to alotoflewis1234 and things would probably go better ;) On a more serious note. I am glad to here you enjoyed the game =)
I made an account on here just to say this, incredible work. I love that it's not primarily NSFW focused and I love that what you branch into and what house you choose affects your relationships.
Personally, I chose House Talamhdan and my favorites of the girls are definitely Lily, Elizabeth and Mitsuki, though I also quite like Ciara (especially the first 2) so I pray that they get more soon! Else I'm excited to see what's in store for this project.
PS: Do you intend on adding actual NSFW scenes eventually? Cause I love ecchi and softcore stuff but I'd also love if those were to eventually be available. Aside from that, what effect do the items you buy in town have? And what does picking luck as your starting attribute do?
I'm pretty sure Shady Characters said they won't add any sex scenes I think. While in terms of shop items, I know the Books from America gives access to the Animal Forms spell
Hey Devs, great game I love what you guys have been building here. I've played every major number version of the game so far and I always feel a void when I reach the end, and want more. So keep up the good work.
As someone who has played every major version just a couple of questions pertaining to the game:
1. A lot of the girls stories seem to be written independent of the main story, rather than intertwined with the main plot. While I don't think this is necessarily a problem, I believe there is the potential that the girls can end up being out of sync with their "main" story appearances and their personal story one. For Example; the end of Gwen's current content ends with her storming off mad about something. However atm the next time we potentially see Gwen (Since I'm certain its impossible to get to Gwen 5 before the Samhain festival) is when she gives us support for the trial of might without addressing anything from when we last saw her. While anyone who was actually pursing Gwen would be further than this, the potential still remains. So will there potentially be some sort of gating so that combos like this can't happen or will there be potentially variants of these events to better reflect where the MC and the girl are in their personal story.
2. If you somehow fumble the bag and don't get a girl to agree to a date with you, is the girls route over or is there a way to try again? Or are you locked out for good?
3. Which girls are supposed to be exclusive as I know you've said that one girl per house is exclusive, but Aisling, Mitsuki, Ciara, Lily always seem to be available in my games. I mainly play Ruachan and the only girl who is missing is Violet. I can't work out if Violet is the only excluded one right now or if something is just breaking.
Hey there! Nice to hear that you are enjoying the game! =)
As for you questions:
1. I try to keep girls' event cognizant of the main plot if not directly tied to it. In your example, Gwen will not come to support you before the second Trial if she is currently mad at you (at least she shouldn't. That's be a bug). And in some rare cases there will be different variant of events depending on your relationship status with a girl.
2. At the current moment, you only get one chance to invite a girl on a date and the storyline is blocked forever. Same happens if you skip the date. In the future I am planning to add a couple of "second chance" events which would allow you to revive a ruined storyline with one of the girls.
3. There are no house exclusive girls, but for each house one girl in unavailable. For Ruachan, it is Violet as you have already noticed.
I download this game yesterday and i finish my first run today in the house of violet (love her) and i love it, i dont know if i play it right since i mostly focus in inteligent because i want to study with violet so i end up having 85 points and like 50 in the others stats, so in both trials i get second place which i was happy honestly, im not good in english so i hope you understand me but i just wanna say that i really enjoy playing it and i will keep waiting for updates so please do your best!! btw should i do other run in a different house or should i wait for more updates? i was lucky that i choose Violet house first since i later read that she has the most content so idk if its worth try other houses
Hi, the houses offer slight differences in each playthrough, and one of the girls is always unavailable for each house (depends on the house). But your playthrough can be very different with different stats.
Also, what language would be best for you? I am in the process of making translations for different languages. Maybe yours will be next =)
i see, then maybe i will start other run. about my language i speak spanish, i didnt look if that language was already in the game because i like to play in english so i can learn, so its not really a big deal if you dont add it, good luck tho
Hi, I'd like to make a sugestion that I think would make the game even better than what it already is. I know it's just more work, but I had an event where I summon the fairy queen on the Conjuration classes, which was very cool. I get that the point is that the room makes it possible for you to cast spells you normally can't, but I've been thinking: It would be REALLY cool if the MC could, during the Trial of Might, summon the Fairy Queen to fight with him (or for him), so long as he has a very high ammount of Spellpower (like above 90 or 95, to make this really hard) and has seen that event before.
Another option would be have him unable to summon the queen, but able to summon smaller fairies as a result of his vow of vassalage to the Fairy Queen.
Idk how you'd make that, maybe it's just a normal attack, or maybe they defend him giving the monster something else to fight, I just thought it would be a very cool callback to another event.
Now that I think about it, it would be cool to make a callback to the broomstick maneuver if the MC has had that event too, though I don't know where you'd put it. Anyway, just some cool ideas I had while playing that I think would make the game better.
Went through this in pretty much one go (saw like 80%~ of what's there in 0.5.0) and I really, like.. really like what's being built here.
I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter adjacent aesthetics. Also an absolute sucker for Lily man, i'll be there first thing once she starts getting more added to her route.
I think gameplay wise it can be frustrating because you're flying a bit blind with the stats, but once you reach a point where there's constant events there's a lot of satisfying reading to be had.
While I'm at it I should report that I encountered a bug with the gallery. For some reason Lily was the only character who didn't have unlockable options, personally this was devastating beyond measure. (I assume it's a big at least considering her sprites are in the files)
Keep at it, I really want to see where this goes. The Violet story also sold me a great deal on how well the game can pace itself, slow burn but in a good way when done right
First of all, thank you. It is always really motivation to get good reviews. Second of all, you should always report if you have even an inkling that something might be wrong. Fixed Lily's dress unlock, btw. Thanks for reporting. She does have her Halloween event unlocks though. So she does have unlockable options ;)
Hey I don't post a lot but been following the game for a while and I await EAGERLY each update. this may be a NSFW game, but it's far from just the gooning game some people think. It's genuenely enjoyable and I've already made MANY playthroughs trying things with different stats to get different girls.
I do have two questions though (well, second is more of a request):
1 - Which girls have their dates already sorted out? So far I got to go on a cutesy date with Violet just before my trial and got the date with Liz but it seems not to be installed yet. I'm gonna try some other girls, but I'd like to know which ones are done.
2 - Would it be possible to put an "I quit" button on each test? I know it seems pretty easy to pass if you just focus on getting the spells and increasing your spellpower and either knowledge or prowess, but I like making runs with Imagination and Appeal (both the redhead and the cutesy clumsy corgy girl REALLY tickle my fancy) without caring much about passing the trial, but it is SOOO anoying to have to just click the buttons on a couple of doors that I can't pass for not having the stats until the adversaries finally finish the trial. If I've trie every option and noe of them worked (and it clearly isn't RNG, it's just a numbers check) than I think I should be able to just signal to the teachers that I give up and skip this slow and annoying part.
I hope I didn't sound too demanding or annoying. I really love the work you're doing, I'm just trying to give feedback on what I think would make the game just slightly better.
1 - only Violet has the date right now. Unless you consider Ciara's impromptu date at a cafe.
2 - I've been actually thinking about this for some time now, but I don't have a good idea how to do this diagetically. I would either have to make everyone acknowledge that you forfeited the Trial, or have you to write something to make it so you still competed but lost. I might still have a solution to this conundrum someday soon
There's still fun to be had but I think there's about 3-5 hours of content which isn't personally enough for me. I keep up with the game tho for when the game gets closer to completion
So when it comes to future events for characters like Violet and Elisabeth (After her date event), what comes next for them? Will they have no further updates to their storylines until other characters reach the same level?
If you mean to pass the tests you just have to get your knowledge high enough. I believe above 75 or 80. Doing this will also help on the first test. Just have a lot of Magic Theory and use the Study option a lot, that will do it.
I love the game personally Violet is my favourite character and I love how difficult it is to grasp how the skills need to be trained i can't wait for the next update, thank you for making this game 🙏 🙌.
Reading comments, I genuinely think you need to get over whatever ego is preventing you from accepting that the first trial is poorly balanced or designed.
I understand you want to focus on specific stats, but you legitimately need to min-max which is counter-intuitive to games of this type.
"You don't need to pass it" is said like that's a choice. When players feel forced to lose, because there is nothing they can do, it is not enjoyable. Designing a "puzzle" around face-slamming your head into the spamming the option waiting for it to work, is not enjoyable or good design.
You have received this feedback numerous times, and refuse to listen to it.
Your answer implies that you are meant to play the game like a regular person would, crash and completely burn, then have to restart from scratch to minmax your stats now that you know what to expect.
And thinking on it. Your RNG system might need some work, because people COULD just be getting really unlucky if they have the "30" they need in the stats like you keep repeating, but not getting anywhere at all, because they don't know some meta trick to it.
I don't know how it's designed currently, it seems like there's a huge RNG factor regardless of stats, on top of some "trick" to it that's not explained in the trial itself, so many people will just be screwed out of the trial for no good reason.
First of all, thank you for your feedback. Second, I do listen to feedback, but not all feedback needs to be listened to.
As for the Trial itself - really, no significant RNG is involved, and a lot of people successfully finish the first Trial. And, no, the Trial is balanced the way I want it to be. If you want to pass a trial you have to either focus on one of the stats specific to this Trial (yes, stats - multiple, you don't have to focus on just one), you have to look for spells that would make the Trial easier, or you need to be very attentive during the Trial to know how it works mechanically. You cannot just try and bruteforce it. And that's the experience I want the players to have.
If you want to win a non-mandatory encounter, you'll have to work for that win. And it IS a non-mandatory encounter.
truth is most people don't want to think to much on what they think is a gooning game, which is not something I see changing but still. I haven't played yet but im going too, but maybe an easy mode for those who have issues? once again, haven't played but i'll see for myself if its that much of a hassle.
I for one am super calculated when it comes to any type of game spend 1 hour trying to come out with the best combination which how should I pick which skill should I pick and I replayed the first week with all of them to see what benefits I would actually get and then I got consumed by other stuff
Think'st thou such force in mockery? Why dost thou complain, seethe, and cry in such wretched tears when they received a perfect, hand-drawn gift with a price tag of zero (0) dollars?
Truly one must concur it is not what actions that one does that matter but for whom they do it for
(Who the f*** cares about the gameplay I'm trying to smash and also the writing and personality of the characters matter too cuz like once you're done gooning you still want to be able to read a story and fall in love with the characters)
I managed to finish the first trial in first place with a 10 in knowledge, it wasn't that hard.
The first trial is interesting because you actually have several ways to get through some doors, it reflects the game itself in some ways : If you go all in in a stat or activity, you miss content or options, if you spread yourself too much, you will fall appart.
Like the game True Love 95, there is no easy mode, you either go through trials and errors (No pun intended) to get what you want, or you wait for a walkthrough.
Kinda funny bc I had 30 in like 4 or 5 stats (been a couple months since I played bc I thought the game was free so it took me all of an hour to beat the very short free version) and still failed every trial.
Kind of proving my point, you spread yourself too much : 30 is the bare minimum for an option to be potentially successful and you would need to know the Trial well. (Though some of the options are obvious)
The Trials are meant to be an optional challenge, they are not meant to be easy.
The game even outright tell you to be careful the first time you are losing points in a stat if it's neglected too long, but some players still raise every stats at the same time in attempt to see everything in a single playthrough, and that's impossible.
Or if they are like, they get the stat drop message and am unsure what that means for the playthrough and feels like it's potentially detrimental so they don't let it happen. I had 65-68 in int and was still absolutely trashed and was confused the entire time. Honestly I was convinced you're supposed to lose unless you have a perfect playthrough until now
Started off fine, but then i got to the first trial and having tried to balance skills out, couldnt do a damned thing. Not one single option for passing through any of the trials doors would allow progress, every one of them failed so ended up soft locked. Maybe a bug? i dont know, but at this point i dont care, because i closed the game out of frustration, then loaded back in to find the last save was riiiight at the start of the game again, because the only time you can ever save is in your dorm room.
Let alone there being a lack of any kind of direction except a vague "Shape Up" and "find a girlfriend". So helpful...
Killed any motivation to keep playing. Edit~ Did it anyway and skipped everything, got to date with Violet, but oh look, doesnt trigger, and gets over ridden by this Ciara chick instead with no option to ignore that and focus back on Violet. Fantastic... so well designed... Yeah nah, im done. Screwed if i do, screwed if i dont.
Well, first of all, Violet's date is not in the free version of the game yet, it was only added in version 0.5.0 and it doesn't get overridden by other events. You have been warned that Violet's date is not in the game yet, when the date gets assigned.
About the saves. The game autosaves every Monday, so even if you forgot to save manually, with 8 autosave slots, you should have almost two months worth of save points.
Lastly, even though the first Trial can be won with you stats just above 30 if you know the Trial inside and out, and anything above that just makes the Trial easier, you don't really need to win to progress the game, as you clearly figured out yourself.
If after all of that, this still isn't your kind of game, well, I am not doing a "game for everyone." Hopefully, there are a lot more games for you to scratch your itch =)
I have to say I really enjoyed this game. There were points where I completely forgot this was a NSFW game only to be surprised later. I really like the story and its content but I do share the feelings with many others than I think the skill system is kinda borked right now.
I am sure everything will be tuned up later but it really does feel like you need to try and minmax to have a fighting chance at the tournament, with does punish you because its either you grind out multiple stats or you try to do girl's quest. I get it is supposed to be hard but it does feel like I am missing out on a ton of content because of it. Could just be entirely a skill issue but still its my two cents.
Other than that, its a great game. The artwork is great, the characters are good, and its surprisingly pretty immersive. Look forward to what comes next :D
Thank you! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the game. Yes, the skill system is meant to be difficult to balance, that's the whole point of the game. Also, trying, failing and looking for you own way to progress through the story. You don't have to win every battle to win the war 😉
I've enjoyed the writing a whole lot so far! Do you have any tips though, I really like Violet as a character, but in one of the events my character basically asked her on a date (The whole what happened to that mage in that book thing) and she said no. Afterwards I couldn't get any more events with her at all, did i just get locked out of her story? And if so, what did i do wrong? I had maxed knowledge and had really high spellpower, then like 20 in the others.
Hi! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the game :) Yes, sadly you hit a dead end with Violet. You need to build up her trust in you by good interactions during her earlier event. Having higher Appeal and/or spending the Samhain festival with her does help too.
I think this game is like a few steps away from something really interesting, visually it's great, even with a lot of placeholder backgrounds, theres an amazing vision you can see. It just lacks variety in playstyles and random events throughout the story in between what is essentially calendar planning. it feels like (for now anyways) whatever stats you choose to boost or focus on, maybe 2-3 seem really important. It also needs a bit of audio work (more music, sound effets). But I'm very curious to see how this will update.
Any chance of a femme PC option? Even a pre/non-op trans fem option to reduce the amount of effort needed to adjust existing content/assets would be great.
So, I was playing through the game and got a notification saying "This is it for the DEMO", is there a full version that I'm not seeing/isn't downloaded here or is that it for the current version?
Because I thought I would at least go through the second round of exams.
"nerd girl" Is that what you call Violet, you barbarian?
When it comes to meeting the cast, you have to do the extracurricular things - studying, mingling, training, etc. You aren't guaranteed to meet a girl and get her respective event through it every time, but if you do it enough, like for studying, you'll meet Elisabeth and Violet, and go through their respective event lines. While when it comes to the trial, what were you doing? Trying to brute force? For stats like spellpower iirc, you could use animal form to skip a part, while if you want to at least meet two of the girls and pass, just max out knowledge, if you read the options, and can deduce which one accompany's the knowledge stat, you'll be able to breeze through it as first place and the exams.
Animal form can be one of the items you get by buying the 'books from america' from the store. I got it up to some high level after practising with spellpower and intelligence in my free time, which, for some of the options, gave the option to use it
Hi, thank you for the review. The game is definitely not meant to be just breezed through, and exploration and experimentation is important.
As for the Trials, they are intended as difficult challenges, requiring either good understanding of the trial OR very high stats. First place is very attainable with stats around 30s if you know exactly what to do. But winning is not necessary anyway and failing certain tests might bring rewards of its own.
Оп, + игра в отслеживать. Графика нравится. Кульминации ждать до второго пришествия. Ну ничего, мы люди простые, мы подождём. За русский язык отдельный +, но вообще для расширения аудитории я бы прогнал переводы через нейронку на другие языки (ну повесишь ты плашку, что перевод ИИ, это не отпугивает игроков так, как отпугивает отсутствие перевода). Во 100 раз лучше, когда хотя бы такой перевод в игре есть, переводить с экрана или самому - тот ещё гемор, а тебе буквально открыл <вставьте название любимой языковой модели> -> закинул два файла -> сказал мне на (условно: китайский, испанский и т. д.) -> закинул файлы в папку переводов -> пару строчек кода на кнопки и вуаля. Потом может комьюнити подтянется и будет за тебя переводы править, главное чтобы было комьюнити.
Хз, мне казалось, довольно сносно. Но справедливости ради, я над таким особо не работал. Возможно, какие-то специализированные, типа DeepL, справятся, по моделям можно Gemini 3 Pro скормить (главное промта накидать поверх, чтобы не бредил). Но это всё догадки. Перепроверял я бы через нейронки в обратную сторону. Профессионального перевода и так и так не будет. Делай как чувствуешь.
Good evening! I finally got around to matching with Elizabeth. Have you added the continuation of Elizabeth's route to the game yet? If so, how do I activate the matching?
Hello. I've replayed the game eight times, but I've never been able to get more than two encounters with Elizabeth. The final choice with her is whether to offer your help or not interfere. And what’s strange is that I’m only pumping up my intelligence, but nothing happens. What should I do?

I set up a date with Elizabeth. The right day has come, but I can't start a date with her, maybe I'm doing something wrong?
There was a warning after the event when the date was set, that the date itself is not in the game yet
I finished the game quickly and loved the writing, art, and characters! It’s a bit short, and I missed a date with Elizabeth. Would love a retry feature for missed dates and clearer save points. Excited for the next update and more content
With a nickname like you yours, it is no wonder you missed Elizabeth's date. Change it to alotoflewis1234 and things would probably go better ;)
On a more serious note. I am glad to here you enjoyed the game =)
No way the game dev is clowning on bro T_T
Does this mean Elizabeth likes them big?
No =D It's just that her last name is Lewis. Elizabeth Lewis =D
Lol! Didn't think you'd actually do this, alotoflewis1234!
Not for someone wants 'easy and quick' stuff. Also it still has very few H-themed scenes.
If you want some complete features, just keep it. It has very long road to go.
I made an account on here just to say this, incredible work. I love that it's not primarily NSFW focused and I love that what you branch into and what house you choose affects your relationships.
Personally, I chose House Talamhdan and my favorites of the girls are definitely Lily, Elizabeth and Mitsuki, though I also quite like Ciara (especially the first 2) so I pray that they get more soon! Else I'm excited to see what's in store for this project.

I'm pretty sure Shady Characters said they won't add any sex scenes I think. While in terms of shop items, I know the Books from America gives access to the Animal Forms spell
What? No, that's fake news :D We are planning on adding sex scenes into the game eventually:)
Hey Devs, great game I love what you guys have been building here. I've played every major number version of the game so far and I always feel a void when I reach the end, and want more. So keep up the good work.

Hi! Thanks for reporting a bug! =) I can see you are playing the 0.5.0 version of the game. This bug has already been fixed in the 0.5.1 version.
I download this game yesterday and i finish my first run today in the house of violet (love her) and i love it, i dont know if i play it right since i mostly focus in inteligent because i want to study with violet so i end up having 85 points and like 50 in the others stats, so in both trials i get second place which i was happy honestly, im not good in english so i hope you understand me but i just wanna say that i really enjoy playing it and i will keep waiting for updates so please do your best!! btw should i do other run in a different house or should i wait for more updates? i was lucky that i choose Violet house first since i later read that she has the most content so idk if its worth try other houses
Hi, the houses offer slight differences in each playthrough, and one of the girls is always unavailable for each house (depends on the house). But your playthrough can be very different with different stats.
Also, what language would be best for you? I am in the process of making translations for different languages. Maybe yours will be next =)
i see, then maybe i will start other run. about my language i speak spanish, i didnt look if that language was already in the game because i like to play in english so i can learn, so its not really a big deal if you dont add it, good luck tho
Oh, Spanish is, actually, in progress right now.
Hi, I'd like to make a sugestion that I think would make the game even better than what it already is. I know it's just more work, but I had an event where I summon the fairy queen on the Conjuration classes, which was very cool. I get that the point is that the room makes it possible for you to cast spells you normally can't, but I've been thinking: It would be REALLY cool if the MC could, during the Trial of Might, summon the Fairy Queen to fight with him (or for him), so long as he has a very high ammount of Spellpower (like above 90 or 95, to make this really hard) and has seen that event before.
Another option would be have him unable to summon the queen, but able to summon smaller fairies as a result of his vow of vassalage to the Fairy Queen.
Idk how you'd make that, maybe it's just a normal attack, or maybe they defend him giving the monster something else to fight, I just thought it would be a very cool callback to another event.
Now that I think about it, it would be cool to make a callback to the broomstick maneuver if the MC has had that event too, though I don't know where you'd put it. Anyway, just some cool ideas I had while playing that I think would make the game better.
Are the game really stuck when you fighting the golem
Went through this in pretty much one go (saw like 80%~ of what's there in 0.5.0) and I really, like.. really like what's being built here.
I'm a sucker for the Harry Potter adjacent aesthetics. Also an absolute sucker for Lily man, i'll be there first thing once she starts getting more added to her route.
I think gameplay wise it can be frustrating because you're flying a bit blind with the stats, but once you reach a point where there's constant events there's a lot of satisfying reading to be had.
While I'm at it I should report that I encountered a bug with the gallery. For some reason Lily was the only character who didn't have unlockable options, personally this was devastating beyond measure. (I assume it's a big at least considering her sprites are in the files)
Keep at it, I really want to see where this goes. The Violet story also sold me a great deal on how well the game can pace itself, slow burn but in a good way when done right
(Also do more Lily, did I mention her enough?)
First of all, thank you. It is always really motivation to get good reviews.
Second of all, you should always report if you have even an inkling that something might be wrong. Fixed Lily's dress unlock, btw. Thanks for reporting. She does have her Halloween event unlocks though. So she does have unlockable options ;)
How many main girls in total?
Can this have any futa/trans options?

Hey I don't post a lot but been following the game for a while and I await EAGERLY each update. this may be a NSFW game, but it's far from just the gooning game some people think. It's genuenely enjoyable and I've already made MANY playthroughs trying things with different stats to get different girls.
I do have two questions though (well, second is more of a request):
1 - Which girls have their dates already sorted out? So far I got to go on a cutesy date with Violet just before my trial and got the date with Liz but it seems not to be installed yet. I'm gonna try some other girls, but I'd like to know which ones are done.
2 - Would it be possible to put an "I quit" button on each test? I know it seems pretty easy to pass if you just focus on getting the spells and increasing your spellpower and either knowledge or prowess, but I like making runs with Imagination and Appeal (both the redhead and the cutesy clumsy corgy girl REALLY tickle my fancy) without caring much about passing the trial, but it is SOOO anoying to have to just click the buttons on a couple of doors that I can't pass for not having the stats until the adversaries finally finish the trial. If I've trie every option and noe of them worked (and it clearly isn't RNG, it's just a numbers check) than I think I should be able to just signal to the teachers that I give up and skip this slow and annoying part.
I hope I didn't sound too demanding or annoying. I really love the work you're doing, I'm just trying to give feedback on what I think would make the game just slightly better.
Hey! Really glad you are enjoying the game! :)
1 - only Violet has the date right now. Unless you consider Ciara's impromptu date at a cafe.
2 - I've been actually thinking about this for some time now, but I don't have a good idea how to do this diagetically. I would either have to make everyone acknowledge that you forfeited the Trial, or have you to write something to make it so you still competed but lost. I might still have a solution to this conundrum someday soon
any merit for downloading the game now, ill wait for later updates?
There's still fun to be had but I think there's about 3-5 hours of content which isn't personally enough for me. I keep up with the game tho for when the game gets closer to completion
So when it comes to future events for characters like Violet and Elisabeth (After her date event), what comes next for them? Will they have no further updates to their storylines until other characters reach the same level?
We'll have to see about that. But likely, the girls will have their events added asymmetrically.
Does anyone know how to pass the three-day classroom quiz? Not the one where you have to win a trophy.
If you mean to pass the tests you just have to get your knowledge high enough. I believe above 75 or 80. Doing this will also help on the first test. Just have a lot of Magic Theory and use the Study option a lot, that will do it.
I love the game personally Violet is my favourite character and I love how difficult it is to grasp how the skills need to be trained i can't wait for the next update, thank you for making this game 🙏 🙌.
Reading comments, I genuinely think you need to get over whatever ego is preventing you from accepting that the first trial is poorly balanced or designed.
I understand you want to focus on specific stats, but you legitimately need to min-max which is counter-intuitive to games of this type.
"You don't need to pass it" is said like that's a choice. When players feel forced to lose, because there is nothing they can do, it is not enjoyable. Designing a "puzzle" around face-slamming your head into the spamming the option waiting for it to work, is not enjoyable or good design.
You have received this feedback numerous times, and refuse to listen to it.
Your answer implies that you are meant to play the game like a regular person would, crash and completely burn, then have to restart from scratch to minmax your stats now that you know what to expect.
And thinking on it. Your RNG system might need some work, because people COULD just be getting really unlucky if they have the "30" they need in the stats like you keep repeating, but not getting anywhere at all, because they don't know some meta trick to it.
I don't know how it's designed currently, it seems like there's a huge RNG factor regardless of stats, on top of some "trick" to it that's not explained in the trial itself, so many people will just be screwed out of the trial for no good reason.
First of all, thank you for your feedback. Second, I do listen to feedback, but not all feedback needs to be listened to.
As for the Trial itself - really, no significant RNG is involved, and a lot of people successfully finish the first Trial. And, no, the Trial is balanced the way I want it to be. If you want to pass a trial you have to either focus on one of the stats specific to this Trial (yes, stats - multiple, you don't have to focus on just one), you have to look for spells that would make the Trial easier, or you need to be very attentive during the Trial to know how it works mechanically. You cannot just try and bruteforce it. And that's the experience I want the players to have.
If you want to win a non-mandatory encounter, you'll have to work for that win. And it IS a non-mandatory encounter.
truth is most people don't want to think to much on what they think is a gooning game, which is not something I see changing but still. I haven't played yet but im going too, but maybe an easy mode for those who have issues? once again, haven't played but i'll see for myself if its that much of a hassle.
I for one am super calculated when it comes to any type of game spend 1 hour trying to come out with the best combination which how should I pick which skill should I pick and I replayed the first week with all of them to see what benefits I would actually get and then I got consumed by other stuff
Think'st thou such force in mockery? Why dost thou complain, seethe, and cry in such wretched tears when they received a perfect, hand-drawn gift with a price tag of zero (0) dollars?
Truly one must concur it is not what actions that one does that matter but for whom they do it for
(Who the f*** cares about the gameplay I'm trying to smash and also the writing and personality of the characters matter too cuz like once you're done gooning you still want to be able to read a story and fall in love with the characters)
I managed to finish the first trial in first place with a 10 in knowledge, it wasn't that hard.
The first trial is interesting because you actually have several ways to get through some doors, it reflects the game itself in some ways : If you go all in in a stat or activity, you miss content or options, if you spread yourself too much, you will fall appart.
Like the game True Love 95, there is no easy mode, you either go through trials and errors (No pun intended) to get what you want, or you wait for a walkthrough.
Kinda funny bc I had 30 in like 4 or 5 stats (been a couple months since I played bc I thought the game was free so it took me all of an hour to beat the very short free version) and still failed every trial.
Kind of proving my point, you spread yourself too much : 30 is the bare minimum for an option to be potentially successful and you would need to know the Trial well. (Though some of the options are obvious)
The Trials are meant to be an optional challenge, they are not meant to be easy.
The game even outright tell you to be careful the first time you are losing points in a stat if it's neglected too long, but some players still raise every stats at the same time in attempt to see everything in a single playthrough, and that's impossible.
Or if they are like, they get the stat drop message and am unsure what that means for the playthrough and feels like it's potentially detrimental so they don't let it happen. I had 65-68 in int and was still absolutely trashed and was confused the entire time. Honestly I was convinced you're supposed to lose unless you have a perfect playthrough until now
Started off fine, but then i got to the first trial and having tried to balance skills out, couldnt do a damned thing. Not one single option for passing through any of the trials doors would allow progress, every one of them failed so ended up soft locked. Maybe a bug? i dont know, but at this point i dont care, because i closed the game out of frustration, then loaded back in to find the last save was riiiight at the start of the game again, because the only time you can ever save is in your dorm room.
Let alone there being a lack of any kind of direction except a vague "Shape Up" and "find a girlfriend". So helpful...
Killed any motivation to keep playing.
Edit~ Did it anyway and skipped everything, got to date with Violet, but oh look, doesnt trigger, and gets over ridden by this Ciara chick instead with no option to ignore that and focus back on Violet. Fantastic... so well designed...
Yeah nah, im done. Screwed if i do, screwed if i dont.
Well, first of all, Violet's date is not in the free version of the game yet, it was only added in version 0.5.0 and it doesn't get overridden by other events. You have been warned that Violet's date is not in the game yet, when the date gets assigned.
About the saves. The game autosaves every Monday, so even if you forgot to save manually, with 8 autosave slots, you should have almost two months worth of save points.
Lastly, even though the first Trial can be won with you stats just above 30 if you know the Trial inside and out, and anything above that just makes the Trial easier, you don't really need to win to progress the game, as you clearly figured out yourself.
If after all of that, this still isn't your kind of game, well, I am not doing a "game for everyone." Hopefully, there are a lot more games for you to scratch your itch =)
I have to say I really enjoyed this game. There were points where I completely forgot this was a NSFW game only to be surprised later. I really like the story and its content but I do share the feelings with many others than I think the skill system is kinda borked right now.
I am sure everything will be tuned up later but it really does feel like you need to try and minmax to have a fighting chance at the tournament, with does punish you because its either you grind out multiple stats or you try to do girl's quest. I get it is supposed to be hard but it does feel like I am missing out on a ton of content because of it. Could just be entirely a skill issue but still its my two cents.
Other than that, its a great game. The artwork is great, the characters are good, and its surprisingly pretty immersive. Look forward to what comes next :D
Thank you! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the game. Yes, the skill system is meant to be difficult to balance, that's the whole point of the game. Also, trying, failing and looking for you own way to progress through the story. You don't have to win every battle to win the war 😉
I've enjoyed the writing a whole lot so far! Do you have any tips though, I really like Violet as a character, but in one of the events my character basically asked her on a date (The whole what happened to that mage in that book thing) and she said no. Afterwards I couldn't get any more events with her at all, did i just get locked out of her story? And if so, what did i do wrong? I had maxed knowledge and had really high spellpower, then like 20 in the others.
Hi! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the game :) Yes, sadly you hit a dead end with Violet. You need to build up her trust in you by good interactions during her earlier event. Having higher Appeal and/or spending the Samhain festival with her does help too.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET, cant wait for new updates
How do I know if the date with violet triggered?
Because it said Sunday date with violet at the town but I can't seem to trigger it
No dates are in the game yet. Save before that date, so you can trigger the event once it is added to the game
Okay thank you
How do you achieve the full lily line?, I get stuck on after the tea party.
You can visit Divination for hints on triggering girl's next event if you have the stat requirements

Guilty Gear: Strive mention! Kinda!
When will there be a Portuguese translation?
I think this game is like a few steps away from something really interesting, visually it's great, even with a lot of placeholder backgrounds, theres an amazing vision you can see. It just lacks variety in playstyles and random events throughout the story in between what is essentially calendar planning. it feels like (for now anyways) whatever stats you choose to boost or focus on, maybe 2-3 seem really important. It also needs a bit of audio work (more music, sound effets). But I'm very curious to see how this will update.
Yes, sound, I know. For some reason, sound is my weakness. But it will be fixed someday...
Any chance of a femme PC option? Even a pre/non-op trans fem option to reduce the amount of effort needed to adjust existing content/assets would be great.
Ew. That would destroy the game.
How?
Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.
So, I was playing through the game and got a notification saying "This is it for the DEMO", is there a full version that I'm not seeing/isn't downloaded here or is that it for the current version?
Because I thought I would at least go through the second round of exams.
Hi, no, there is no full version of the game. The word "demo" is just meant to represent that this is not yet the complete version of the game.
Really NICE art👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
"nerd girl" Is that what you call Violet, you barbarian?
When it comes to meeting the cast, you have to do the extracurricular things - studying, mingling, training, etc. You aren't guaranteed to meet a girl and get her respective event through it every time, but if you do it enough, like for studying, you'll meet Elisabeth and Violet, and go through their respective event lines. While when it comes to the trial, what were you doing? Trying to brute force? For stats like spellpower iirc, you could use animal form to skip a part, while if you want to at least meet two of the girls and pass, just max out knowledge, if you read the options, and can deduce which one accompany's the knowledge stat, you'll be able to breeze through it as first place and the exams.
Animal form can be one of the items you get by buying the 'books from america' from the store. I got it up to some high level after practising with spellpower and intelligence in my free time, which, for some of the options, gave the option to use it
Hi, thank you for the review. The game is definitely not meant to be just breezed through, and exploration and experimentation is important.
As for the Trials, they are intended as difficult challenges, requiring either good understanding of the trial OR very high stats. First place is very attainable with stats around 30s if you know exactly what to do. But winning is not necessary anyway and failing certain tests might bring rewards of its own.
I usually got my Knowledge stat to around 80 at its lowest when the trial came, it made every accompyning door which needed that stat simple
Boring game, spent hours doing nothing but clicking with very little story or content.
Оп, + игра в отслеживать. Графика нравится. Кульминации ждать до второго пришествия. Ну ничего, мы люди простые, мы подождём. За русский язык отдельный +, но вообще для расширения аудитории я бы прогнал переводы через нейронку на другие языки (ну повесишь ты плашку, что перевод ИИ, это не отпугивает игроков так, как отпугивает отсутствие перевода). Во 100 раз лучше, когда хотя бы такой перевод в игре есть, переводить с экрана или самому - тот ещё гемор, а тебе буквально открыл <вставьте название любимой языковой модели> -> закинул два файла -> сказал мне на (условно: китайский, испанский и т. д.) -> закинул файлы в папку переводов -> пару строчек кода на кнопки и вуаля. Потом может комьюнити подтянется и будет за тебя переводы править, главное чтобы было комьюнити.
Ох, перевод это больная тема. Постоянно над ней думаю. Я просто знаю как ИИ переводит, а без возможности проверить текст - стрёмно. 😮💨
Хз, мне казалось, довольно сносно. Но справедливости ради, я над таким особо не работал. Возможно, какие-то специализированные, типа DeepL, справятся, по моделям можно Gemini 3 Pro скормить (главное промта накидать поверх, чтобы не бредил). Но это всё догадки. Перепроверял я бы через нейронки в обратную сторону. Профессионального перевода и так и так не будет. Делай как чувствуешь.
Good evening! I finally got around to matching with Elizabeth. Have you added the continuation of Elizabeth's route to the game yet? If so, how do I activate the matching?
Hello. I've replayed the game eight times, but I've never been able to get more than two encounters with Elizabeth. The final choice with her is whether to offer your help or not interfere. And what’s strange is that I’m only pumping up my intelligence, but nothing happens. What should I do?
Hi. The answer to your question is hidden in your question. - You shouldn't only pump up you knowledge :)
You don't say so! Is this really a fantasy? Please, at least she...
Im playing in Android, when im trying to save and put save name it doesnt save!! I tried everyname and still cannot save!!
Make sure you are saving on the Page 1...9 screens, and not on "Automatic saves" screen
