Such a marvelous game! I am not a fan of kinetic novels normally, but this one was just perfect. Gorgeous writing, and the art and music fit perfectly as well. It makes me very excited for Snow White & Rose Red! It has been so long since I read a rendition of a classic fairytale, and I just adored this one.
I may have found a couple parts where some very, very minor punctuation was missing. I don't know if these were different on purpose, but two statement used periods instead of a question marks, so I wasn't sure if it was intentional, to give it a statement tone, or a typing error. Also, one sentence was missing a period, and a few others used two periods instead of ellipses. Here are the lines:
I am so glad to have finished this story. The characters were absolutely amazing, and that is something that is not always easy to do while staying true to fairy tales. Thank you to everyone who worked on this for such a lovely story!

“Rapunzel: I.. Altair, you don’t even believe in magic, how can I go away with you.” (This one also is the one I was wondering about the question mark.)
Altair: “Rapunzel… *next line* I.. *next line* If I promise to try and believe in magic, will you try and come with me?”
“Would she understand that Rapunzel was in love.” (Another question mark one.)
“Altair continued to stare into her eyes seriously” (missing a period)
“Rapunzel: I.. wow… I… r-really?”
“Rapunzel: I.. I’m afraid.”
Again, I have no idea if these were intentional, because so much in writing is up to the author's intention, but I figured I would list them just in case.Altair: “Rapunzel… *next line* I.. *next line* If I promise to try and believe in magic, will you try and come with me?”
