The game is out :shock:
I need to get this... soon.... when I have money ^^; *shakes fist at upcoming convention*
Tried the demo and liked it alot :D (even if the cellphone puzzle was a little frustrating <_< I could figure out what I needed to do even before asking for hints, but just couldn't find the right buttons....)

I'm still working through the rotating-rings puzzle on that path. At least, I presume it's that path, it looks likely.

But seriously; perhaps I'm just old-fashioned, but isn't there always going to be at least a little 'ewww' in a match-up between a 200-year-old guy and a fifteen-year-old girl?
I don't know - I'm fairly liberal, I'm not exactly preaching a monogamous-hetrosexual-girl-two-years-younger-marriage-before-sex puritan relationship as the only moral choice, but there's something creepy about kidnapping and forcibly kissing girls less than a tenth your own age...

Now, Jeremy's a lot more believable. Plus he's insane! What more could a girl ask for? ;-)

Since you're still working on it, I won't give you spoilers, but let's just say that the endings come out a little...gruesome. XD I guess I expected a nice little Ren'Ai ending. "I love you!" "I love you too!" "Let's run away together and have a fun relationship!" "Yay!"

As for Sebastien, I suppose a "good" ending for him would be hard to formulate. Maybe he could remember Kirsten and realize that he loves her too much to force this upon her. Maybe it's a little too lovey-dovey, but I like lovey-dovey endings. :)

It wasn't really the age difference or anything. It was the blood and the cult and the vampirism that made it "ewww". O_o;;;

Yes, VAMPIRISM!
What's more romantic, what's more sweet ;_;

Well, I've seen two endings down a different path, one of them with Sebastien, I'm expecting the ones you're talking about to be fairly similar. ;-)

But you know, I'm not sure - given the scenario - how one could go about matching Christina up with Bastian without spilling blood. I mean... is he going to be happy with her just hanging around with him until she gets old and dies?

Some endings require extra work to reach. There is a better ending for at least one of the pairings you're talking about. But while some endings are pretty straightforward - follow the plot and you can reach them - some will require you to have done certain things much earlier in the game.

(made-up example) If you never found the Ring of Magic Sunshine at the beginning, you can't suddenly save the day with it at the end. In such a case, the game may hint 'If only I had a way to carry sunshine!' to give you an idea that you're missing something.

Grah! It's the "Elven Relations" syndrome!

"Oh, you got vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate at the beginning of the game? Too bad! You get eaten by monsters now!"

Me: T_T Oh blargh!

"One of the pairings"? I hate it when you speak in code like that! XD

Oh well! Once I get all fourteen endings, I'll be sure to post up a full review!
Also, I'm just curious -- do the questions you answer at the beginning (What do you want to have as a career?, What do you want in a relationship?) have to do with how the plot goes, or are they just points towards certain characters?

Points towards certain characters, as well as (hopefully) helping the player to feel more drawn-in and identified with Christina, and to feel comfortable as part of her friendship with Lucy. They don't have a huge effect on the storyline.

Although if you answer the questions as if you were a complete ditz and then pursue Jeremy, you can unlock a special Very Bad Ending. :)

Incidentally, I was disappointed to note that 'locksmith' and 'burglar' weren't in the options... She'd do well! ;-)

XD I'm sort of curious now, but I'm also afraid! The bad endings always sort of make me uncomfortable! But I want all the endings so... And I agree with Jake. She'd be an excellent burglar. She breaks into everyone's house effortlessly!

Grah! And now I have been reduced to asking for puzzle help! On the "Seventh Book of Moses" safe puzzle, I think the order is Air, Fire, Water, Earth, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Hexagon. But that combination doesn't work. I did my research, and it says it should be right (although I can't find the translation for the Hexagon pattern). Help?!

the leaf puzzle. Do the leaves have to fit literally like a puzzle? Or do you just try to cover yourself as much as possible

Yes, they fit together like a jigsaw. (With a little bit of space running between them like outlines so you can tell where one leaf ends and another starts.)

Papillon your so evil(in a non-bad way) But how would you solve the puzzle in which you cannot repeat a symbol across or vertically and horizontally but you must put the symbols on all six rows?

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, it's basically analoguous to a Sudoku puzzle, only with symbols instead of numbers - it's a tricker one than most beginner's Sudoku, but I think all the same I only got to a couple of points where I needed to backtrack. So looking up methods to solve Sudoku would be a good start, they should all help.

(The other thing that I found handy with that one was to copy the grid out onto a piece of paper and use a number or letter for each symbol, 'cause I can work with numbers and letters a lot more easily than strange symbols I've never seen before. ;-) )
