itch.io

Peak character designs. Also, the game is grim yet absurd, which made it feel neither too depressing nor comedic. A good mix.

This was so addictive, I devoured all the content almost in one go. It was a blessing to be able to play on the phone on the hottest day so far

Slowly making my way through UTFS' games, and I'm loving every one so far. I just need to brace myself for the inevitable metaphorical punch in the gut, but it's worth it 🫡

Sweet and romantic. But oof, that 3rd replay/ending took a turn...

Loved the dichotomy of the ladies thoughts vs his own

Uf, heavy. Nicely handled O2A2 format, raises a lot of questions and theories.

The definition of "it's complicated". I simultaneously liked and disliked both characters (that's great)

Oh btw, just realized. The game can't be downloaded via itch app (on linux at least, but I believe on other OCs too). I think you just need to label the game to let the app know which OSs can run it.

Very unique experience. I went thinking I'd only do one or two loops, but after the first one I needed to see them all

This finally made me check out the main game, and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'll check this out again once I actually know the characters more :D But I feel like this was a nice entry point, short and makes you interested in the main thing.

Decided to copy my steam review here. Great game. Very engaging, I liked reading the notes. Really like Noels' character and their sprites. Recommend 👍

Had no idea what to expect from this game, but it was great! Only the best of wishes to these characters

The endings were unexpected to me, I enjoyed the game

This game has a lot of wonderful expressions and body language. Quaint atmosphere, truly perfect for a cozy evening.

Cute character customization options. Interesting world and characters, I'd be all for any spin-offs.

I've only known Arden for an hour and a half, but if anything happened to them, I would kill everyone and then myself. Or whatever the quote was. The art is gorgeousssss, and I really like the setting

Stunning visuals and a beautiful, tragic story 🖤

Good demo, the story seems intriguing. And the animations were so pretty!! 

I like how some of the "red flags" could easily be dismissed or even interpreted positively. And I really like your choice of their profession, the parallels.

Gorgeous starting screen, and art in general. I very much enjoyed all your previous releases, and I'm excited about this one :)

Unusual graphics, I liked it! Looking forward to the full release. I'm not good at navigating court intrigues, but hopefully, I won't die too many times 😅

SUCH a lovely MC, both routes were really sweet

You can hit me up if you need any testing done 👀 I can also help with coding, although I'm less confident with that

It's really good, is this your first game? It is very immersive and intriguing. And the character sprites are beautiful.

Would love to see more! Lovely art and UI, very cosy vibes

Having 2 MCs is great! I really enjoyed playing. The story itself looks interesting so far, and I like the characters. I'm definitely checking out every LI, but my first choices were Verona and Faron. Hopefully, I will be able to grab the DLC next month.

Love the bleak atmosphere you've created with the visuals. MC is written quite realistically, and both routes are scary/disturbing in their own way, especially some of the guys' reactions.

So gentle and comforting, a nice experience. Really good writing :)

BGM is a bop. I love how over the top some expressions looked. I guess I'll never find out what happens in one of the endings bc I could never be mean to her, she's a cutie pie

Sweet and life-affirming story <3 Art is super cute

Trust Melancholy Marionette to create an unsettling atmosphere and make dope BGM ♥️ Loved the ending being tied to the beginning (if this story structure has a name pleassse let me know, I couldn't find it)

Cute! Loved the boggle animations and pancaking

So sweet. Very gentle and hopeful story.

Beautiful. Music, voice and visuals create such a soothing yet unsettling atmosphere. I feel like this game put me in a trance, I got super relaxed. Which I shouldn't be, considering I played during my lunch break, but oh well.

Narrators' VA (and writer) crushed it! The art is beautiful, and I kept getting more interested in the story the longer I played. Actually liked all the Princes after trying every route, which I didn't expect

Love fan games of games I have never played (/srs). It was a fun short demo, I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of "absurd distractions"

From someone not super into Christmas OR magic girls — Santa the magic girl is a rad concept! I liked the kids' letters to Santa. Both romance options were good (I'm admittedly partial to Nezs' ending lol), and the game was enjoyable :)

Well-written game, and the art is lovely (I will admit I got a bit distracted playing around with the match-scrollbar (ᵕ—ᴗ—)). Seeing the good ending after the bad one was heartwarming.

Girl, I jumped in my seat at the sound effect (ᵕ,•ᴗ•) Cool visual effects, and a super unsettling/scary guy, good job with his expressions (and writing, of course)
