Story
The world is full of mysteries and secrets.

In the shadows, beyond what the ordinary people can see, demons, witches and other supernatural beings live and fight.

But on a night 20 years ago, the balance of this world was offset. The happenings of that night are unkown till today for all. Until today, no one knew what truly happened that night. The only sign, one that even normal humans could sense, was the 'Hoshi no Ame': a rain of colorful stars all around the world. Since then, there have been several mysterious occurrences that even supernatural beings could not explain.

One of these occurrences is the appaerance of the Shin.
The Shin is a mysterious special ability granted to a few human children who were born in the past 20 years. However, this power comes at the cost of great misfortune, bringing danger to to the bearer and those around them. Because of this several tragedies happened.

Now those children, who have survived such a cruel fate, are slowly gathering in one place to finally reveal the truth:

Aurora Academy.

Aurora Academy
... is a famous school with outstanding results in education and sports, but only in the eyes of normal humans.

In reality, it's a place designed to protect the children who own a shin.

Hello! I really like the character art, and the premise sounds interesting~

1. What do you think of the premise of the VN?
I like it! I love fantasy stuff, so I'm looking forward to hearing more about the story.

2. Which character(s) captured your interest the most?
Aito!

3. Any rewards or stretch goals that you would like to see in the kickstarter campaign?
Hmm.... not any that I can think of.

4. Any other comments or questions?
What exactly is Shin? It's never really explained, just that it's a special ability, though from the MC's bio it looks like they're weapons.

It's a special ability that is really mysterious, even at the start of the story (20 years after it appeared)
What it is exactly is uncertain. (That's actually one of the big questions of the story) Also it takes so many different forms that there are no general features to describe it with so far.

The MC's ability is really connected to weapons (though it actually also affects her physical abilities), but that's only one of the forms a shin can take. (for example one of the side characters has an ability called 'Lock Down' which makes him/her able to make living beings unable to move in a certain area with a flick of his/her hand)

1. What do you think of the premise of the VN?
It's interesting. Mysteries, supernatural beings, the 'Hoshi no Ame', tragedies... I'd really like to see how things unfold at the academy.

2. Which character(s) captured your interest the most?
Probably Lagi and Osamu. Lagi seems like the type of guy who would be able to bring a smile to someone with a crestfallen expression. But he also seems like the type of guy who loves to cause trouble. At least he has fire in him. And maybe even a fiery shin?

Osamu, president of the Black Cat Dorm, seems a bit like a black cat himself. Black cats are considered enigmatic, aren't they? But perhaps he'll pop up at an opportune time, and Sheryl will have to admit that his sudden appearance was fortunate?

Well, I can dream, can't I? Haha.

3. Any rewards or stretch goals that you would like to see in the kickstarter campaign?
I'm afraid I can't think of anything. Sorry.

4. Any other comments or questions?
I'm looking forward to the release of the demo.~

Yes, he does have a 'black catish' side to him. (and I think they are enigmatic too)

And no problem at all. I already came up with most of them, just want to make sure I don't leave out anything that people would really like.

1. What do you think of the premise of the VN? Some might say that the fantasy school plot is a bit cliché, but I’ll never get enough of it lol. <3 I think it sounds like a strong story with great potential: definitely a game that I’d be interested in playing.

2. Which character(s) captured your interest the most? The heroine! She seems like a very determined character who knows what she wants, which is always a nice trait for protagonists. I think I’ll enjoy playing from her perspective and learning more about the story through her eyes. As for the boys, I find Sin & Fraser interesting!

3. Any rewards or stretch goals that you would like to see in the kickstarter campaign? Maybe this has been mentioned already, but cameos always make for nice higher tiers!

4. Any other comments or questions? Nope, not particularly! Good luck! :’)

I too find determined protagonists interesting and happy to hear I'm not alone *v*
The cameos haven't been mentioned before, and I wasn't sure about them myself. But then I will include some cameos in the campaign!

Finished all base sprites for the first version of the demo, so only need to make the expressions~ Backgrounds are also close to ready (3 fully ready, 7 sketchy version for placeholder) and the 4 left are also already in progress. So next I will be concentrating on finishing the CGs >v<//

Also once I get some free time, I will start introducing the side characters :3
Aaand here is a wip for a chibi CG of Hiryuu and Sheryl from which you can guess how much they get along XD

I'm not sure I understand the plot, which turns me off from this game a bit, but the art is absolutely beautiful.

What exactly happens at this school? My guess is that the children go there to learn how to control their abilites, but I don't even understand what these abilities are.
