Faery Tale ~ A Romantic Fantasy Visual Novel

[Arsenic_Love]

I thought it was very good! The graphics are very pretty and the music fits beautifully.

I want to write a review. But I can't get to the last two endings.

How do you get the last 2 endings of this game? And not the specific routes endings of nixie bride, wolfe bride, tea shop, oberon bride, magistar dancing girl and prince's mistress. But the very last two you mentioned there being.

No matter what I do I can't get to the last two.

Don't worry about it. You got all the main ones. The last two endings are merely what happens if you let Wolfe in the house.

whew.. i like the artwork

Thank you so much!

An error with this game. If you click on "Credits" and then play the game, an error message appears.

Damn... I can't find it. It doesn't do that on my copy. Any guesses on what might be causing it? (Or how to fix it?)

I'm only on my second path, but I'll just add that I absolutely love this already.

Thank you so much! I'm glad.

The artwork is simply stunning (only thing I rather disliked was the fact that the Sorcerer looks too androgynous, at least in my opinion) and I adore the music.

I'm thrilled you liked the music. Sorry about the sorcerer, but he was the best stock figure I could find for the part. Seriously.

It's a very interesting idea...

Thank you! It was one of those ideas that hit me over the head and just wouldn't let go.

...although I was skeptical when I saw the file size, I regret nothing. Thank you for making this beautiful game, I'm looking forward to finding all the endings.

My pleasure. I enjoyed making it. I'd be very interested in your opinion once you finish it!

I thought it was very good! The graphics are very pretty and the music fits beautifully.

Thank you so much! I was really pleased when I found the music. I couldn't believe it was free to use.

I have no clue how to read this.
-- Sadly I don't know diddly-squat about coding. I just copy-paste what I can get and fiddle with it until it works. If you Do find someone that knows what this is saying, and what's wrong, please let me know! I'd be happy to fix it.

[PyTom]

That's the sort of error you get if the game was not unpacked properly, or the .rpy/.rpyc files do not exist.

Ok finally played the Wolfe ending again, but the endings was the same as letting in house later. So I have to say it's more like 7 different endings instead of 8.

Here's what I thought. I think you made a good realistic version of an adult fairy tale.

But I was a bit disturbed with Wolfe's character. He just came off in a wrong aggressive way in my opinion. He just creeped me out. Not like Alistair's did. But in a really bad way. You just did too well with his speech in writing and the his music theme put together. That it made me always want to run away from Wolfe. No offense.
I love how you made Alistair as a creepy charming magician. It was to die for in a fairy tale setting.
My favorite scene was when Iseult went to the ball and was told to pick between the Prince and Oberon I just loved the different scenarios from it. Especially the part where she runs off and the two guys give each other awkward stares. That was classic.
My favorite guy is Oberon. I think she seemed happier with him anyway. But he reminded me of a spoiled brat. Which gave it an interesting twist to it. Nice touch with the Ludwig reference.
Your scenes were really put well together. If you drew them I'd say you got some talent there. I loved the bench and the ballroom they were beautiful. The music was divine in a fairy tale setting. The Nixie scene music was rather relaxing.

My only negative aspect that I felt was there were too many run-ins with Wolfe but I guess that was the point since you named them Iseult and Tristan.

It was fascinating journey to be on.

Wow! your story was extremely good and unique it's a refreshing break from all the bland predicable light hearted otome/VN games I've been playing. I just wish it wasn't so short. The wolf man was creepy and that magician was terrifying... I only wish there was path were I could have chosen to be completely alone. My favorite paths were Triton and Oberon. Being with Triton seems really natural, and not forced. ((Spoiler?)) Being with Oberon was like choosing no restrictions on time, or reality complete freedom (and I have a question Triton said something strange. like when Iseult was wet or having a wet dream it was him...ehhh it was something like that was he stalking her before they met? was he like secretly getting her off, or did I just miss understand)

Are you saying you that did, or did not get the Tea Shop ending?

Here's what I thought. I think you made a good realistic version of an adult fairy tale.

Thank you!

No offense taken because you were supposed to be creeped out. You were Supposed to run away from him. If you didn't, the game ended.

I love how you made Alistair as a creepy charming magician. It was to die for in a fairy tale setting.

I did him a little too well I think. All of my test players fell for his trap, even when they passed on all the others. ALL of them -- without fail!

Want to know the truly scary part? His personality is pure Psychopath. Seriously. I used the 20 Traits as a model for his personality. And everyone LIKED him for it!!!

My favorite scene was when Iseult went to the ball and was told to pick between the Prince and Oberon I just loved the different scenarios from it. Especially the part where she runs off and the two guys give each other awkward stares. That was classic.

Well, running off IS part of the Cinderella fairy tale, so that option definitely had to be there, but I'm glad you liked my take on the results.

My favorite guy is Oberon. I think she seemed happier with him anyway. But he reminded me of a spoiled brat. Which gave it an interesting twist to it. Nice touch with the Ludwig reference.

Good, because he IS a spoiled brat. LOL! A bored spoiled brat. I'm glad you liked my Ludwig reference. The king of Bavaria really was gay, and he really did build Neuschwanstin because he was in love with an actor who, sadly, did not return his affections.

Your scenes were really put well together. If you drew them I'd say you got some talent there. I loved the bench and the ballroom they were beautiful.

Um, no drawing at all. The entire game was ALL Photoshop and photo-manipulations.

The music was divine in a fairy tale setting. The Nixie scene music was rather relaxing.

Thank you! Finding that musician's work available for free was a God-send!

My only negative aspect that I felt was there were too many run-ins with Wolfe but I guess that was the point since you named them Iseult and Tristan.

Exactly.

It was fascinating journey to be on.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I am many things, light-hearted is Not one of them. I'm glad you liked my game!

I just wish it wasn't so short.

ROFLMAO! I get that a lot.
-- Unfortunately, the game is MUCH bigger on the inside. With only one person doing everything; coding and graphics, (and at the level of ignorance I was at, at the time, of what Renpy can really do) that game was almost too much for me. Seriously, I over-extended myself in a big way. I have learned soooo much more since then.

The wolf man was creepy and that magician was terrifying...

GOOD! They were supposed to be.

I only wish there was path were I could have chosen to be completely alone.

That ending did occur to me, but by then I was dead tired from all the writing. Too tired to tack on one more ending.

My favorite paths were Triton and Oberon. Being with Triton seems really natural, and not forced.

Triton is a literal example of "going with the flow."

Being with Oberon was like choosing no restrictions on time, or reality complete freedom...

That's exactly what Oberon represented: Complete freedom from responsibility, at the cost of being utterly and completely subject to someone else's whims.

...I have a question Triton said something strange. like when Iseult was wet or having a wet dream it was him...ehhh it was something like that was he stalking her before they met? was he like secretly getting her off, or did I just miss understand)

You didn't misunderstand anything. That's exactly what I was implying.

OMG! I didn't think anyone would be that interested in it!

[After reading] OMG, they actually like it! Wow...
-- I hate to say this, but the prince's head is actually Correct. It really does look too big for his body in real life. Oh, and that's his real hair -- the top part anyway. Scary, ne?
