The story is really well written that I couldn't stop reading. What really caught my eye was each route was different. Nothing was completely the same. Each route had a conflict and the MC had hers. She felt like a real human. How most people would react, not blow it off like it was nothing. I like how the characters interacted with each other. It felt real as well. The art style was unique to the story that was showing. I know I will be re-reading this in the future! Thank you for making such a wonderful game!. I freaking ADORE this game. I almost wrote it off at first because I was iffy on the art style, but once I was actually in the game, reading it and viewing it all? It grew to be a style, and game, I loved EXTREMELY fast.The level of lore and the world building, the way people fit in and the, I guess ways the world works on it all are pretty darn well thought out, too.The MC, Nora, is opinionated and can sass with the best of them, and overall the choices and answers feel pretty intuitive, and sometimes, though not always, the way the music changes can be an indicator towards the way the answer affected things. Of course sometimes Nora'll frustrate with her stubbornness, but I like it all the same. It shows that even if I can guide stuff, she's no blank slate, and the way we see her thoughts and expression changes just add these amazing touches that make her feel all the more real, with a full on personality.The love interests are also pretty unique themselves, and I've overall had a tough time deciding which is my favorite and waffled on it for ages. They're all about as well written as Nora, and they all get varying levels of her sweetness, stubbornness, and sass among other things. I also love that each route you get to see differing shades of what is going on around Samhain and different aspects of the community and side characters\/antagonists, but sometimes you'll read a quip that has to do with what was more the focus of a differing route, it's a nice little "I understood that reference!" kinda thing. The only real downside I can think of is, though the music is overall great, some of the more happy\/chipper songs, if you get stuck on a longer scene or real life happens and you leave it going can end up a little extra grating, BUT that's the same for most any otome I've played, and this one also has a song, "Fae Creatures on the Rise" that no matter how often I hear it never gets old or annoying.Overall this game is AMAZING, and for the length, lore, characters and price? It is TOTALLY worth it. I have played a LOT of otome\/OELVNs and this one DEFINITELY shot up to in my top 5, exact position changing depending on my mood\/what I'm looking for at the time. It even has a bad end I adore, among the great romance and even friendship ends, and it was nice seeing a game where you could usually(at least for me) tell the chemistry between the LIs and Nora, and how depending on route changed what happened during the time period\/what the focus was on.If you're on the fence about it, I definitely suggest playing it. This is one of those otome I keep talking on and suggesting to friends and even replaying though I've 100%ed it. It's just that fun, and to see what tidbits I missed\/forgot about.Oh, and Elliot is the sweetest cinnamon roll\/nugget there is. He ended up my top fav. xD Though the other 5 are all still great.. I have lot of opinions about this game. And just as I have pros and cons I also have semi-pros and semi-cons.Overall if you just want a "should I play or should I skip" I'd say that if you are a fan of visual novels and otomes certainly go for it as this is one of the good ones and the amount of gameplay you get certainly fits the full price.Now for a more in depth analysis:Pros: characters with different personalities and distinct voices; a non passive, strong(-ish) main character; interesting lore and world building; great art; interesting routes;Semi-pros & Sem-cons: the main character is certainly opinionated and strong. I must commend the creators on going with an MC with personality. On the other hand her snarky personality sometimes seems way too forced. These instances are not too detracting from the game so sometimes you can barely notice them but they feel like a little hiccup on the flow of the action. She can be ... slightly unlikable in some instances, which overall isn't bad because it makes her more realistic but it leaves you (the player) feeling like you don't have much say in what your character does and that the character is reacting to a situation in an unnatural way. There needs to be a ballance between having a realistic character but still allowing the player to insert themselves somewhat and feel like the character is reacting like a normal person would. The attempt is certainly more than commendable even if it felt lacking. the routes certainly progress differently and focus on distinct aspects but some of them can feel too similar. For example two different routes for vampires felt very unnecessary even if they focused on different things. To be completely honest, to me the whole of Marc's route felt forced and the information we had from it could have easily been focused on in Eliott's route ven if the view point was lightly different. At points i'd find myself powering through information I already knew from other routes simply because it was written in a slightly different way therefore unskipable. the artwork is great, particularly with the sprites. The artists has some great painting skills! The CG's though... some of them made me giggle at the anatomical problems. It didn't bother me much since the story is always the main focus for me but it's something that I needed to consider. the lore. It was very interesting at first but during the following routes it felt either repetitive or way too complex. At first I found myself visiting the journal to see what was being added but after two route I gave up on it. One thing that could make this work would be forcing the player to search for information on the journal to make choices or answer correctly in certan situations. It's a bit of a Checkov's Gun : If you introduce something in the game, you need to make sure it's used by the end of it.Cons: the music. I admit that halfway through the routes I started playing with no music on. The few couple of tracks used started to grate on my ears due to being so repetitive. Music is good but sometimes silence also works, at least gives you a moment to focus on the story whithout having to think "I felt I hear this tune about a 100 times by now." the inconsistency between the content present on each route. Some routes had 3 endings while others had 5. This shows one thing: the some of these routes could have been excluded in order to focus on others. It makes some of them feel forced. You don't need a lot of LI's to have a nice visual novel, you may have only two o even just one! (This makes me think of Aloners for example) Just make sure the ones you have do have a compeling storyline and enough content to make it natural and believable. the way the choice system worked was very inconsistent. More than half the time I couldn't comprehend why I had to respond to things in a certain fashion which made me NEED to use a walkthrough just to find certain endings as it seemed nearly impossible otherwise.As I have stated I do recommend this game to visual novel and otome fans even if I think some things could be improved. I'll certainly keep an eye on what the creator's will come up with next.. I absolutely adore this game. This is an Otome rich with plot, amazing characters, great setting, well thought out lore, A must read for people who love Otomes and VNs in General.Pros of this game:- An amazingly fleshed out, strong and fiery MC. Nora takes no crap from anyone, she's very well fleshed out and has a strong personality. I love her to bits, you feel very much invested in her plot as much as the LI's story as well.- Each route does a great job in not only fleshing out each LI's backstory and plot it never tries to ignore Nora's story or put her 'goal' in the backburner. Her story and the mystery of what happened to her gets a lot of focus and a resolution is always given, although some routes do have more awnsers than others, but that's not an issue.- All the Love Interests are all very interesting and likeable characters, I could not find myself disliking any of them or their routes.Cons:- Limited amount of music, not very memorable but not horrible.Overall, Please get this game if you are a fan of Otomes and great romance. Definitely worth the price.. If you are a fan the paranormal and a well-written story, then you just might like this game.What I Liked:- Interesting story packed with uncommon paranormal lore.- Enough differences in how routes play out to keep me invested.- Every LI was enjoyable (ymmv).- There are a lot of choices but most routes are not overly complex to the point they can't be figured out and conquered.- MC behaves like a real human being.- Good variety of personality types and paranormal associations.- Amazing side characters that add to the story.What I Liked Less:- A couple CGs felt less polished than I would have liked.- One route is structured different from the rest and caught me off-guard (still a cool route).Overall I had a wonderful time playing this game and I recommend it whenever I can. It was a really pleasant surprise that I love this game as much as I do.. So very cute! I have played through most of the routes and it is just so cute! All of them! Highly recommend!
