Same author as Intertwine, which was released among the Otome Jam 2023 project. 115 min to get through the demo.
- Unseen Protagonist, can pick name and pronouns.
- 6 LIs, 4 male, 2 non binary (they/them) and one of them looks femme
There is this concept of an energy aura you can toggle on and off. Don’t know if it wouldn’t be better if seeing it was more tied to the narrative, but cool that you can control your MC magic sensing eyes.
Story: There is some crisis of the fae that really draws me in (narratively) and that brings you to Kuana’s route. When an LI needs me to save their world, it’s too hard to turn those puppy eyes down. But I was truly smitten and eye gazing with Fenir by the end of it.
I felt guilty that I had to turn away from him to help Kuana (I was like, I love you. But this man needs me 😤)
Cons: This demo is a bit unpolished, as some choices I made weren’t referred to correctly. But it didn’t ruin the demo. Some of the sprite art, especially Kayn and Aisa with their one eye- I hope it’s updated for the final release. The music should be longer before it loops or have a smoother looping transition. But may all be fixed in the final product.
I’m going to buy it when it’s released. Have you tried it?
When I hit reply it automatically puts you as an @ but I can delete it it bothers you. I think I’d rather be tagged because I’m still new to Kbin and wouldn’t want to miss someone talking at me.
When I brought up the squares, I was thinking of a VN dev who talked about making a short VN where they used squares for their sprites. And that they were still very successful about connecting to players emotionally because we’re so good at anthropomorphism inherently. But it wasn’t a romance. But still, there is a romance about birds 🐦 so I’m guessing it clearly stays true.
Animal lover, the boys were sometimes animals because of a curse, but they would transform into 100% human males with a platonic peck from the protagonist. Also good with guys + ears/tails/wings… Eyes I’m on the fence about, but no full blown furry situation.
But I was thinking about some blocky cartoon art like hmmm if we were using Minecraft or Lego graphic styles for romance. I’d be like, Pass.
