I really enjoyed this!!! I loved the manga-aesthetic and the way each scene was set up. I also liked the pops of colour in the character sprites!! Iago's growth was very satisfying to read too :)
The ghost designs were rad! A lil creepy in a good way :D And not in a way that distracts from the rest of the art.
Whenever the battle music queued up I got super pumped right away!!!
I thought the cinematography for the part in the church with the trio encountering the ghost was also really great!! The switch from static paneling to scrolling really pulled me in (in the same way the battle music did!)
Other miscellaneous thoughts: The game page is so good and I loved how the main menu loads in-- I could tell I would like this right away just from those two things alone!!
That is a snazzy looking game! I really like the manga style. Thank you for sharing this
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
What a fun VN! There's a lot of art assets packed into it, and it all looks very polished. There's a lot of creative uses of panning effects and transitions, and the art is really good.
Iago is so cute, I love his braided hair and his numerous blushing expressions ;w;
You did a great job with this!
Thank you so much Ebi! I certainly had a lot of fun with the concept so I'm glad you liked the end result! Thank you so much for playing!
The style is very unique, making this stand out a lot. Can't believe I got tricked into reading a manga (just a joke)
I am interested in this world, but there's a big contrast with the other one. Whereas the other game was kind to the ghost, in this one we beat 'em up
Haha~ That was my plan all along! Make more people read shounen manga! 😂
I hope to release a few more mini VNs that'll explain the world a bit more so it'll clear up the disparity a bit <:
this is very creative looking VN. I also like the itch.io page, the screenshot can move when you hover it! is it CSS custom?
Thank you! And, yes, it is! ^^
Wow! The manga aesthetic is stunning, the character dialogue was so smooth, and all the transitions blend in really well! I love the rain effect, the background feels so good to look at. Overall the atmosphere feels immersive and so chill, a moving motion manga with a very engaging story!
Thank you so much!! <3 I had a lot of fun planning and designing this game so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
