Aaaaah, this was such a nice nice discovery among all the Spooktober entries I’ve played, thank you so much for making this VN!
I love historical settings steeped in local folklore, it’s always so moving to see someone make a story about a very specific place in time they care about with lots of realistic places, foods, past customs, hints at real-world history…
And the way you fused it all together across two time periods with with a certain supernatural device, a haunted house, a traditionalist family, and a beautiful tragedy… It was just too good!!
I really love how you staged everything together as well; the way you used ambient sounds and beautiful photographic backgrounds was very immersive and super endearing.
The story itself was so well told too, the way you described the pain of Pei-er not recognising her world any more and struggling to adjust was so touching. Enjoyed all the “worldbuilding” and the setting with the Wuyapo, the lost children, the soldiers…
Thank you so much, this VN was all I could ever ask for!
Wow! Thank you so much for your review!! It means a lot to me, to be able to read about your experience of the game. I am really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and the story, and that it was able to convey some of the deeper feelings that I tried to portray in the game. Really glad too that you enjoyed the side characters, because all of them are crucial elements of the story… and now that I am working on creating a second edition of the game, I actually have been thinking about adding side stories for these characters.
Thank you again for your detailed review and for checking out the game!! 😊💖
No problem, it really was a pleasure to read through!!
Really looking to whatever you have planned next, for these side characters or for other stories!
