There's about 360 pictures in the game (AAHH) so I'm pretty sure that's what's causing the file to be so big.

And here's two other alternative downloads!

I hope one of them works!

I got the Lukas bad ending on my first time through. Giving a "dude, what just happened?" surprise, the ending serves as a reminder to not take the narrator/protagonist's sane views for granted. It felt a little short since it jumped to "Day 26" without an encounter with Bryant and
Evine and Petrarch suddenly gets shanked by a mindless Lukas.
Seeing that this isn't a true ending, I decided it was suitable.

I loaded the last save and spent a good 'nother leading to the Bryant good ending.
The epilogue felt somewhat iffy. The main story, however, was good.
I haven't played for the other two endings yet.

Thank you! The first one seems to be working quite fine at the moment.

This game was amazing! I especially liked Lukas' good ending,
since it explained everything and it felt like the true ending. I first got Bryant's good ending and thought that it was a tad too sad for a fairytale-loving protagonist, so I went for the other good ending and voila!
The story was good thought-out, it was original and sweet (mostly. lol. bad endings are just never satisfying you know?)

Regarding Bryant's epilogue -
Yeah I'll admit that I should have done more foreshadowing and even development towards that ending. I didn't want Bryant's ending to be a completely bad end since everyone dies (except Elvine) and so I wanted Elvine's actions to have some sort of lasting effect to sort of mirror Lukas' epilogue as well. I suppose next time I should put more thought into the endings O.O;
Thank you for playing though! :D

Oh gosh thank you so much! :D
Yeah Lukas' ending is the true one. I'm actually a big fan of really sad\bittersweet endings so I had to include at least one lol

This was a pretty nice and interesting game. I find it has a somewhat melancholic feeling to it, probably augmented by the use of classical music, which I liked. The story does suffer a bit from 'I know you for a few days and I like you!', but I actually bought it here. :P

The cgs were reallygreat. Even though it has rough line-art, the colouring was pretty and they were dynamic.

My only complaint is that Lukas sprite is kind of stiff, especially if you compare it to the others and the cgs.

I don't have a favourite ending, I like them both. :)

This was a really cute game, but I found the description a little misleading. It looked like Mary would have a romantic path, and then it turns out she did not.

I understand if that wasn't the story you wanted to tell, but could you please make it a little clearer in your first post that Mary can't be dated? It's hard enough to find non-skeevy GxG, so getting your hopes up is just... :C

Just downloaded this story, and having done so, I HAD to play through it right away! Got the Lukas good ending first. (love it when stuff turns out that way the first time through) Then, of course I had to go back and find the other endings. Have just finished; I found the story to be very well done and enjoyable. Good job!

Thank you! Lukas' sprite was actually the first one I drew and aahh I might not have known what I was doing haha. But thank you so much for the helpful feedback, I definitally have a lot of things to learn art wise and getting any sort of critique is always helpful!

Oh I'm so sorry! Reading through my initial post, yeah I can see how it looks like Mary is romanceable. I've gone back and rewritten the initial post to make it a bit more clearer. That's not to say that future otome games\visual novels I make won't have GxG routes however! :)

I had a lot of fun playing this! I agree that the sprites for Lukas were pretty stiff, but the art was great (especially the gorgeous backgrounds) and the writing was fantaaaaastic, especially the true ending. I wish it had been even longer because I enjoyed the original concept and the execution so much.
I was confused after I first got Bryant's ending, though. I loved his route and I didn't mind the tragedy...I mean, as a happy ending fan it made me sad, but it still worked within the story. But I felt that it was strange that none of the answers had been given. I was so relieved to get them in Lukas's ending!
Great job on a wonderful game. If you ever want a writer or proofreader for future projects, I will beg to join. And if not, I can at least promise that I'm going to follow your other stuff!

Huh, that's odd. Here's an alternative mediafire download for it, maybe this one won't ask for a captcha? http://www.mediafire.com/download/f6550 ... .2-all.zip

If that one still asks for a captcha, here's a Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1m2pv8hn4xltx ... l.zip?dl=0

I wouldn't call it one of the best but thank you for the compliment, haha.
