I should be doing my homework, but as I'm completely procrastinating at the moment, I decided to buy this. The art is so pretty, I couldn't resist; It just finished downloading as I'm typing this, so I'll play now and write a review later.

Congratulations with your first commercial English VN!

[sake-bento]

Congratulations on your release. Checking out the demo now~

[Chu-3]

Thanks a lot *bow

I'm so nervous and can't sleep for 2-3 days ><;;;
Hope you like it >< I really wish to make extension or make this as a series, if could.

Seriously thanks a lot

I recommend you make an installer for windows, since looks more professional than a simple .zip goodluck!

[Chu-3]

Actually I was confused about it too.
Since, I asked some friends, and all of them said that they prefer for games without installer, since installing kinda messy for them. I tried to make installer once, for my duplicity Jap ver, and I saw nearly no one choose it. So, I'm thinking to make zip version once, and later make a polling? to decide if it's better to make installer.

I don't know much about English game but, is that any other reason for making an installer except to make it looks more professional?

Sorry for my unknowledgeness *bow

[lunanight]

Im exited to play this game, I just bought it after playing the Demo.

[babyfish]

Simple but beautiful game, beautiful art style over all. I especially love how the main character's

appearance changes depending on the choices you make.

Sui has to be my favourite character overall. X3

[Chu-3]

Thank you ><

Sui is my favourite too.

*blink to Mirage and say "FUUUUUUUU"

I'm really glad that you enjoy the game

[jack_norton]

I don't know much about English game but, is that any other reason for making an installer except to make it looks more professional?

Well probably your friends are computer expert - I too prefer a zip, but that's not what the majority of people expect, in particular casual players. Take a look around all the game demos, 99% of them are distributed as installer. "Some" people might have trouble with unpacking the zip, and so on, and you definitely don't want that since can cost you some sales

[Chu-3]

yeah I noticed the English game demos are mostly using installer, while Japanese VN not (usually doujin VN do not use installer, if it's not a hard copy). Thank you for the advice :3.

Having a bit of trouble with getting the True Ending:

I've showed Ami all of the items I collected, but I can't seem to get all the parts. Is there supposed to be a special event during the weekend, or is there another step that I need to do?

Any help or hint would be appreciated. Thanks!

[Armyfyr]

I'm having a bit of trouble with the game. Perhaps I've completely missed something, which I've done plenty of times before (although I'm not new to these kind of games at all, I think I'm just a bit slow at times ), but I'm not sure how to

get the fifth ending - I have four items and everything else I need for the true ending (I assume). The first page of my CG-gallery is completely filled, while my second one is missing the first two pictures and the third one has everything but the first and the last. I go to talk with Ami every day, learning about the broken bracelet, cap, necklace and picture - but when I have no more items to show her, I'm missing my character's face and therefore receiving the bad ending. What am I doing incorrectly?

Any help would be appreciated, too curious!

Giving a bit of feedback as promised, I simply adore the art. While it's not completely original, it's interesting and very nice to look at. I especially liked Sui, he's adorable. The music is lovely - I've been listening to the "theme" (song on the menu) for a while without actually playing, just because it's so calming. I think it suits the game very nicely and gives it a mysterious atmosphere, which is very good and rather rare.

I had a hard time enjoying Shou's good path, as I got the bad ending firstly, but I liked the story anyway. I do prefer the combination of mystery and a bit of romance to so much else, I'm a bit bored of the typical "here's 3-5 attractive, flawless Gary Stu/completely stereotypical Japanese high school guys, get them all" with no interesting plot whatsoever. I think this is very original and I was entertained the whole way through. And I'm looking forward to seeing the final ending, so I hope it will happen soon.

By the way, I also loved how you can "shape" your character by making choices and thereby changing her appearance, very interesting feature and definitely good for the replay value.
