Can I translate it into Spanish? For people who don't know english
Q: Did I enjoy reading this VN?
A: Yes.
The quirky, charming interactions between Inno and Selena were just so much fun to read, heheheh~ I also was quite taken with art style, so adroitly expressive as it is—even the mere silhouettes of the other witches were enough to suggest what their personalities were like! Speaking of, shout to my girl Aracl, heheh.
As nice as the background music was, I do think the earlier parts of the VN would've benefited from an additional track or two: Perhaps a new song when Inno met Selena and the other witches, or when Inno and Selena went into the swamp? I also would've loved to see a full-screen CG of That One Hug™ near the end, heheheh~
That being said, I thought the character development was very well done, working both to establish the setting and the characters' personalities alike. In particular, I was very happy to see that even the other witches, side characters though they were, got a dollop of development with how they warmed up near the end.
Bottom line: Great work here! I'll be keeping an eye out for your future work, for sure, heheh~
oh my god thank you for the extremely kind words ^-^ we were thinking about cleaning the game up a little and updating it with new tracks and some extra dialogue here and there. i think we can do that in a couple of weeks, so the feedback is appreciated!
hey - this was nice! good work. the character designs were really cute and i enjoyed the dynamic between inno and selena.
thank you so much!!! i'm happy you liked it :))
