In fact so eager, that I massively failed in avoiding the spoilers
I'll start with the technical part.
From the main menu to the quick menu. From the preferences to the bonus section.
Everything looks amazing and professional. It's even more shocking, when we remind ourselves that this was made in a month. I don't think that there was a single thing I disliked on this part.
Character wise, you can notice the effort and work given towards each individual character. Pierre smoking, Angelina hair being tide up or loose, the various facial expressions and animations for each one of the cast, etc. Everything looks and feels great and those details made everything even more enjoyable.
The backgrounds did blend perfectly with the characters, as I had already mentioned in another thread, I really do like them.
The fact that Auro drew the GUI, characters, CG and did the backgrounds in one month, it's frightening for me. Artists are really amazing.
Great work.
The only thing that seemed a bit "off" to me was the CGs. For some reason, they didn't clicked with me(I haven't seen all, I only got 4 endings so far). The better way to explain it would be, that the characters seem a little different from the ones represented via sprite, they just seem different in my eyes.
The music transitions were well made and well picked, always serving their purpose and reflecting well the atmosphere of the scene.
On to the script/story part
I had already been spoiled by none other than myself, so I already knew what I was getting myself into.
The prologue is mainly a otome game. It starts a little on the slow side as the characters are introduced one after another, but as we keep advancing through the prologue the pace picks itself up.
Even though I rarely play otome games, Camille writing was pretty engaging so it kept me going.
I'll admit. I started by hating the protagonist, Lily, but by the end of the prologue, I had already made ammends with her. She was "OK" in my book. She showed an actual backbone in some of the routes after all.
Taking the MC out of the equation, the other characters were all unique and interesting. Strangely enough, I remember thinking "Are Laura and Liam simblings or what?" the first time I saw them.
The characters reactions/actions were spot on for the most part, except a case or two where I thought things happened "too fast".
For example, I remember thinking that Angelina was way too easily befriended by Lili for example; but if we take in consideration what happens in the second part, this can be explained by the "script".
side note:
One thing I loved was how the time transitions were done, I usually struggle in representing the hours passing and changing the scene, the actual textbox appearing with the "later that day" was a very nifty way of doing this. Thumbs up.
Post prologue. There were already some characters I felt empathy with. Altough I found Ethan the most interesting of the bunch, I found myself controlling Pierre in the second part of the game, due to my erratic choices of trying to create havoc for Lily(and thank god, there is something wrong with Ethan in this second part!! jk
Because I had already spoiled myself, I was already expecting the twist, but I still felt the impact. I really did enjoy the second part of the game the most. A good slice of life where some of the characters show us a different side to them. For example: I didn't like Angelina that much on the first part, but I really enjoyed her "real" self, shown in the second part. The character seemed much more likable and real to me in the overall.
I can't imagine how hard was to change the POV from one character to another, Camille did a fantastic work on this chapter in my eyes. The mannerims and dialogue were all very distinct. It was always well done and fluid. The inner thoughts of the characters brought additional depth to each character. I still have some characters left to explore and I will keep playing it.
I don't have much more to say except, congratulations on making such a great game!!!
I'm now even more eager to play BCM. So please do not convert it to a GL!(jk xD)
