I played this game a few days ago because you posted it on the renp'y site. It's a really cool and well written game. I felt really sorry for Wera (Cried sometimes :cry: ) Loved all the guys as well. They each have their own cool back story. Good job :)

XD I've played the game before you posted this post too and I must say, I really like it!! ;D
It's a really nice game and I really loved it!

At first, I've actually seen comments at your blog where they said they felt like crying at some parts and well, tot ell you the truth I didn't expect much but wow, just WOW.
I was definitely caught of guard the moment where they revealed her mother died. OH GOSH, that was so freaking SAD. TTATT I can sympathize with most of the characters stupid soft heart I really like the way you write the game and to tell you the truth, it taught me a great lesson where I should live my life to the fullest and learn to forgive. Oh gosh, the boys... XD I started out with liking Waine first but ended up loving Dagan. Probably cause I can actually relate a bit with their neighbor relationship since I'm quite close with my neighbor. xD
I'm really anticipating on your other 6 games that you're planning to make! If I'm not wrong, you're going to do greed next, right

Hey, just wanted to drop a quick note and say that I really liked this game. I started out only really interested in Waine's story, but then became more interested in the others as I played on. I'm looking forward to the other games that you plan on creating!

Just finished the story - went through it several times to see various endings. Very interesting and very well done. Wera had a difficult life, but it was nice to see that she could - ever so slowly - come out of her self imposed exile and begin to interact with people.

Hello!
Grats on your release and wow, you worked on this on your own? That's mighty impressive. :) Props!
I've been working on a visual novel based on the 7 deadly sins too (secretly) so when I saw the title I just had to give it a go~ XD;;;
I've only played through the game once (so far) and got a romantic Dagan ending.
I think on some level we can all relate to the protagonist, Wera. Although, I'll have to admit I really disliked her at the start but I think it had to be that way considering she was full of wrath. Out of all the deadly sins, I find Wrath to be the most interesting and I like your approach towards it/ how you reasoned her back story that caused her to be full of wrath.
I think the thing I disliked the most was that I felt rushed through the story. Things were just happening so fast and I felt I barely got to know the boys that entered her life. It felt as if I had just met them and already, everyone was spilling out their inner most problems. It was probably not so bad in the case of Nash, but Waine especially I found the way they opened up to each other a bit off.
In saying that, it's still a minor thing considering she's given only 10 days to change her mind. From her point of view, changing her mind or not changing would be a rushed process anyway. :)

Much luck with the series!

@Luminar: glad that the small twist got to you. means that you really cared about the characters, that's awesome! yepp, i'll be doing greed next and plot wise, it's really a lot more ambitious as compared to 'Wrath' so I'm taking my time to make sure there are no plot holes and that I won't disappoint all of you :)

@Kayber: thanks, I'm looking forward to creating more VNs too! I really enjoy the whole process!

@philip: wow, thanks for checking out all the diff endings! glad you enjoyed it!

@ppppantsu: thanks for downloading!

@Chibichann: yes, indeed :D

@Kessie: oh that's awesome that you've been working on a 7 deadly sins VN too! hope it's progressing well, I look forward to trying it! the 7 sins are just so interesting to work on, ain't it? thanks for the feedback! glad that Wera grew on you and yes, 10 days was a mad rush to get the characters from point A to B, all whilst battling inner demons and building relationships. i'll definitely try to develop the characters and their relationships more in my next VN. cheers!

I like this game.
For once I'm playing a game where I feel I can actually relate to the main character. I saw myself in Wera. Those emotions she felt at the beginning, were ones I felt once and maybe still do. You did a good job in making in her likeable and wrathful. She was a good character. The guys were great too. I didn't expect to like Dagan and Waine so much. The sprites were cute, the music was nice and the backgrounds were neat. It was a simple game, but a very nice one.

I really look forward to playing more games from you, leeeex.
