Hi! How do I get the last picture? Thank u

It's the bad, but not so bad ending, which is one of the most difficulte to get. you must get his answer right but not to much. I'll write a walkthrough soon if you don't succeed in getting it.

Wow. This was a ride, in a good way. 

I'll start with the pros. This ADV is really good for its price. Styx being a tan boy was what drew me in. I enjoyed his personality and dynamic with Pomme greatly, and seeing them bond. His sprite work and CG were...yum. Would've liked a bit more private parts showing as this was advertised as an 18+ game but personal preference.

Pomme (I don't change MC's name in ADVs) had a personality that worked well for the situation. I like my headstrong MCs but if she was written that way here, the story wouldn't have worked.

This ADV also made use of scene direction beyond the RenPy defaults a lot of western ADVs over rely on. 

And for the cons. The biggest issue was the portrayal of the Knight. What he did to Pomme was more mild than what Styx did. Yet the Knight is overwhelmingly portrayed as the antagonist in the narrative. Ultimately that hurt the impact of the conflict.

The normal ending was harder to get than the best ending. This has apparently been rectified, but my review is based on the build I played.

Hi ! Thank you for leaving feedbacks !  It's always nice to read about people point of view ! I'm really happy you enjoyed it.

I love Styx so I'm happy he is getting some well deserved love hehe. 

First, The story should have been spicier but I toned it down because of recent issue with Itch on adult content and to avoid getting banned in some countries on Steam !  I undestand how it wasn't enough though ! 

As for the knight I understand you see it as a con ! I could maybe have improved things a bit but I wanted to express how the reasons behind their behavior is what make them an antagonist. knight is heavily implied being a serial rapist abusing his power while Styx while violent is acting out of fear and survival instinct. He never acted out of pure malice. While it doesn't make him innocent in any way Pomme could relate to this because she felt the same way as he did when she faced the knight that's why she forgave him more easily. The issue is probably my writing but I wanted to express my feeling while writing better in hope that it would bring you a new light on the story.

In any way I'll do my best to improve. in the meantime thank you for you support once again it means a lot

how do i do the ends i only got one..

Everything depends on how well Styx like your choice, if you only got the good ending that means you usually have to make choice that he would dislike ! I didn't plan a walkthrough  but if you don't get the other endings I'll try do one !

Essa novel só tem em inglês? Eu queria ver mas tá em inglês

Hi ! Nas configurações, você encontra a tradução para português brasileiro. A interface do usuário permanece em inglês, mas o idioma do jogo é o português brasileiro. (I used google translation so I'm sorry for any mistake in the text)

Just finished the game! I absolutely adored it, the visuals are wonderful and the world building is so fascinating. I wish I could have more time in this story! I've only gotten two of the endings though, not sure what choices I'd have to make to get the third, as well as the last image in the gallery...any hints?

I'm sooo happy you loved the game and the world building, there is so much I want to tell about their world that isn't in the game!

It's actually the hardest one to get, you actually have to be well liked by Styx, but not enough for you to get the happy ending, you must have 7 or 8 love point with Styx, but I'll have to push a new update tonight so I will lower the difficulty !

Finished the game yesterday on Steam; Pomme and Styx's relationship is really cute c:

Yay thank you ! I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Don't hesitate to recommend the game on Steam  ! Review on Steam help a lot =)

Thank you very much!!!

Hi there! I'd love to translate your game to Spanish LATAM. I'm game translator, and I've translated a couple of games on this platform. You can see them on my profile. If you are interested let me know and I will be happy to help! My email is: pgcolmenares01@gmail.com

This is so well done, the character designs are beautiful! I can't wait to jump in and play the full version. 

Did we manage to get any of the preorder goals? Fingers crossed!

(+2)

Hi ! I'm glad you like the characters ! I'll announce the release date pretty soon !

None of the preorder goals have been fulfilled yet, but we're close to the first one we're at 80% which mean we need 10 preorders to have a longer epilogue

hello, may i ask what about now?

Of course, 9 preorders left, to reach the goal, I'm optimistic we can reach it ! Especially since the release date annoucement is really, really soon !

okay due to life happening , i need to wait till 1 feb (my next pay check ) to pre order i hope till then its still not too late!

(+1)

No worries about it at all ! Do it when you can, there is now 7 preorders left for the goals to be met, and you have until the end of february to preorder (I'll announce the release date next week and I will close preorder few days before the release so you have still some time ! )

Hiii!

The price will be slightly higher to compensate for the higher fees on the Steam platform (10.99usd). That said, if you are from a country that pays VAT on itch it will be cheaper since on Steam VAT are already in the price.

If you're worried about Steam Keys I'll personally distribute them once I announce the complete release so you should have it before it even releases just be sure to use an email you're still using to pay if you want to preorder it.

I hope I answered all your doubts ! Have a nice day !

loved it I can't wait for the full version hopefully I will be able to play it on the browser through

Hi ! Thank you for your kind words ! Sadly it's a paid game, and paid games can't be made as browser games so it won't be available.

If you want the game you can either download it from itch or Steam when it releases ! It shouldn't ask for a powerful pc to run the game.

thank you for telling me

(+1)

I really want to enjoy this.Is it available on Steam?I'd like to buy it there

It will come to Steam for the release this winter ! I will give the link on this page once the Steam page is online so follow me (or on my Patreon you can sub for free) if you want the update on the Steam page ! 

(+1)

Thank u!This will be the most exciting winter I've ever imagined!

(+1)

If possible, please add an age rating upon release, otherwise I won't be able to buy it on Steam due to regional restrictions.

(+1)

Don't worry ! I will ! My goals is to let most people enjoy the game so I'll do the rating properly !

Once again, another banger from Kakera. Art is absolutely stunning, from sprites to CGs to backgrounds to UI, like what do you mean you drew this all alone. I love the addition of little manga panels. 

Pomme is my cutie potato, I love her.  Styx is hot as hell (badum tss). I went from wanting to strangle him to crying over his cuteness T_T. I am rooting for them hard, their personalities match so well. 

BUT my favorite character is of course the knight. No, not "Knight", the other knight who protected Pomme from the flirting. He is very fine, he stole the spotlight with no sprite and two lines of description. Perfection. 

Y'all better preorder so we can beg Kakera for his sprite <3

(+1)

Thank you Yuno ! You're as sweet as Pomme ! I hop e you will grow fond of Styx, maybe even more that the unknown knight ! I know he has your heart. And yes ! I'll do his sprite ! 

Such a fun demo I can't wait for more! Absolutely in love with Styx, his character design, and just the entire overall feeling of the world is beautiful! I can't wait to see where you take this story!

I'm so happy you enjoyed the demo and that you love Styx ! I can't wait to show more about their worlds and story ! 

I'm barely 3 minutes into the demo, but the backgrounds are super cool!

Thahnk you I'm glad you liked the background ! I hope you liked the game as well !

yes yes 🙂‍↕️ pre-ordered, hope you reach the goals 🫡

Thank you for preordering ! It helps a lot ! We're at 25% of the first goal already ! I'm really glad you enjoyed the demo =D

wowowow art and premise are amazing, cant wait for the full release!!

Thank you ! I'm already hard at work on the full version !

Lovely demo 💖💖💖🌸

Thank you ! I'm happy you liked it !

I do love the story premise and the art is very pretty, so I wish you all the best for development!

Thank you for your kind words !

There are a couple little mistakes in the character descriptions, I do not know about the demo, but since these work as the front page for your advertising it might be good to go over them again. (like for the knight: hunting demonS (plural) and for Pomme: she always TRIES to see the best in people)

(2 edits)

I have a proofreader for the game (I'm not english native) but yeah I'm doing everything else alone ! I will correct these mistakes thank you !

A really lovely game! Spicy and interesting, I love the dynamic between Styx and the MC, it really leads itself to a really cool set up to a romance and he's absolutely gorgeous. It's also such a beautiful game with great art! I'll be super excited to see the full game!!

Thank you Grey ! I'm happy you liked the demo ! I hope you will love the full game as much. I'm doing my best to give the best to the player !
