Loved the characters—both the boys and Celeste as the protagonist! 💖 The game does an amazing job of showing her growth, letting you truly see her evolve as the story progresses. She’s not fearless or perfect: she becomes stronger in her own way by facing her fears, which feels so authentic.
And the boys… each one (plus George!) has such an interesting backstory, but Elijah and especially Noah have my heart! 💘 The art is absolutely stunning—backgrounds, sprites, CGs, and even the new UI are all gorgeous. I was so surprised to see it even had voice acting! I already knew I’d love it, but playing the demo left me wanting more.
You can really feel the love put into this by fans of webnovels/webtoons hehe (also omg the plot twist of ending up in a BL webtoon?? such a fresh concept!!) major props to the team for all the hard work—can’t wait for the Kickstarter!! 💕
That demo is lovely. Once I finally tried it, I couldn't stop 'till I was through. Great job, team! btw, EURYDICE IS SO ADORABLE
Feels like the story draws you in the further you go. Well done, loved the art lots
Love the characters!
Is there any android version? I really want to fangirl over levi like all the other gamers :')
Hohoohohoh gish
Who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!
I repeat, who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!!!!!
~~~
Ehem~ now that we're got the fan chant out of the way, time to start gushing and OH MY CELESETE, looooved this entry so much. Reincarnation tropes are totes my jam + the combination of cute romance/dangerous story elements are making me so exciteeeeeed.
AHHHHH WHEN'S THE FULL RELEASE, I NEED IT NOW!!!
The character designs are so eye-catching + the CGs/BGs/GUI are gagging me with a spoon fr ~ I love em all, I want to stare at the screen long enough for the pixels to imprint on my eyes. Probs to the entire art team!
As for the music, VO, and sound design - the work that went into this project is so heart-warming, this was clearly made with a lot of love and effort < I honestly can't pick a favorite between the tracks and the VOs since I loved em all, haha ((Tho I'm made sure to not make it obv that I like Levi maybe a *littleeee* too much lol)
Not too mention the programming, everything is running so smoothly like whaaaaa??
All in all, fabulous work everyone! I can't wait to see what the full release will look like <3
Who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!
I repeat, who wants more Levi? WE WANT MORE LEVI!!!!!
Oh, I love it :D (I wish the main character could have changing names but oh well xD) the RO's (especially Levi) are so lovely and wonderful :3 I'm excited for more and I'm looking forward to the next chapter :D
I really enjoyed it
Just finished playing the game demo and I really enjoyed it. I love this genre of VN because its always so interesting seeing how the dev will put a spin on the whole Transmigrated into a fictional world thing.
I really loved MC she's very independent and I appreciate that plus on top of it she can weld an actual weapon which is awesome. Elijah the priest seems pretty nice but his like pureness fuels my skeptical side, Noah is very handsome and I'm excited to learn more about him but so far I think i like Levi best, hes just such a sweetheart. Anyway I really enjoyed playing the game and am excited to see where it goes.
The story is really interesting and promising! But in my opinion the CGs look much better than the character sprites.
Congratulations on your demo release! I look forward to seeing more of this game later! Celeste is a very lovable character and I'm very intrigued by what kind of relationship she could have with Noah given how, ah, MIXED his feelings are.
Plus, I am thrilled to see another dev making an isekai game. So excited to see how this develops over time!
This demo is amazing! I love the characters and the backstory so far. <3
