Just finished Chapter Three, and I'm absolutely enthralled. I love the story, the characters, the lore, and, honestly, the fact that none of them are jealous of your affection (in whatever form) for the others is genuinely lovely. I'm so looking forward to seeing what comes next!

Alas, the wizard has not yet found me!

Really enjoyed this! Great story, fun puzzles, and just the right length. 

So, I love that you're taking a principled stand against AI art in your work! All of your characters have actual character, and I enjoy seeing the layouts and WIP backgrounds like a little sneak preview of what's to come. The dialogue reads like actual people talking to each other, and the concept is shockingly novel, given how many creepy romance IFs are out there. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

My only criticism/error report is that once you meet Quynh, her sprite seems to stay on the screen, and Simon's does, too, when you fill out your paperwork (running in Chrome, anyway).  (Edited to add: See below, back in my room!)

Adorable, thank you!

I'm not sure what happened, but going into the Moth dungeon seems to have reset bridges and the fires I lit with ember hearts. (Unfortunately, I don't think I can do Lily's quest again to replace the one from her.)

It also seems to have reset chests, thorns, etc., though my skills and inventory haven't changed. Very odd.

What a great start! Looking forward to seeing more

Hi! This is a great-looking game with a polished aesthetic and clever details and notes, and it's a fun, casual play. There are  just a few small things I've noticed (which you may or may not already be aware of) after a few runs:

• The red upgrade banner at the bottom cuts off the lower portion of your active assets window (after the first five or so, depending on resolution) and seems a little redundant with the one in the left sidebar. 
• The prestige window that pops up when you choose to reset, informing you of your bonuses, also lists your"peak rank." I haven't found a way to do this early, and haven't discovered any additional ranks unlocked beyond 13. This might not be necessary to have, unless you plan to introduce (or already have) options for resets earlier or later than 13.
• Playing in Firefox 148.0.2, choosing prestige doesn't automatically update the UI (clearing purchased upgrades, the option to reset, etc.) without refreshing the page, though they at least aren't clickable. It also retains some minor passives that aren't included in the prestige bonuses, like a few additional points to clicking, and a small passive influence gain.

Not OP, but it's so much clearer/brighter and easier for me to see, now. Thank you!

Hey, so, the first Glitch Event doesn't seem to work for me- I picked the second choice, and it gave me the result and achievement for the first one. 

Upvoting as I've experienced the same issue. 

I don't remember ending up in a pixel hunt situation, were you able to get through it?

This was fun! The puzzles weren't frustrating, and the aesthetic is cozy and charming. Looking forward to the full version!

I think I've worked here! This was a lot of fun.

This was a lot of fun! I enjoyed the parallels between the groups, and the epilogue scene was a lovely end-after-the-end to the story.

This was a fun little deduction game, and I really appreciated the addition of the alignment chart to help track strengths and weaknesses. Thanks so much for uploading this!

Started playing this evening, and after a bit of fumbling around to work out the structure, how to make things happen, I've been absolutely delighted with this game! Two endings so far. Currently stuck in the menagerie, and though I think I know what to do, once again working out how to do it is the fun part. Really enjoying stretching my mental legs- thank you for uploading this!

The chicken is adorable! I got all but one trophy, and had a lot of fun.

I got to 2200 and had to shut down my laptop for the night, but I enjoyed the music and the pressure-free experience. Thank you!

Hi! Just a tiny editorial suggestion: "She was visiting Albany alone due to her husband's frail constitution when her and your father met" should probably be, "...when she and your father met," if you want to retain that structure. (Alternatively: "...when she met your father," or "...when your father met her.")

Otherwise, this looks really compelling and I'm intrigued to see how the story develops!

Just as a note for future players, or those who are still playing: if you put the mining gear directly on the miner, instead of dropping it, it's instantly equipped and the others can't steal it. Hope it helps!

Really enjoyed matching up all these cute and quirky little ones!
