this game is so wildly good omfg?? i noticed at the beginning how the text would have some mind of its own and i honestly thought it was the author or creator of the game slipping in witty comments and notes like other games but the more i play i actually realized the text that would describe the mc's actions was a character of her own and i think it's really neat!! that adds on the fairytale aspect of the game where all of the 'romanceable' characters are archetypes of different fairytale characters then the narrator is a character too!! a witch no less which fits it so well aghhh
the way this vn uses its words where it engrosses u into this mystical but yet cruel world is just AGHG i genuinely hope your meals are always warm and fresh + ur pillows r cold on both sides
LOVED the old-timey vibe of the game, from the stunning art and the music down to the very language used! The writing was so beautifully refined, I don't think I've seen such complex and beautiful language in a visual novel before!
Also adored the clevernessess of carrying the fairytale theme throughout; loved how the way each path was told themselves felt structured much like short fairytales, intertwined with the repetition of certain sequences/phrasing throughout that gave us more of an insight into MC and their inner workings. One qualm I have is this, though; I wish we had a little more closure towards the end; the reveal imo doesnt pay off nearly as much as it ought to suggested by the build-up. Also, would've liked the visuals to just be a little more varied; it felt more like an interactive fiction than a visual novel! Lots and lots of text without anything to break it up, even if it was a rather beautiful read.
oh right, would anyone know where I can get the OST for the game? I found the mermaid's theme so hauntingly hypnotising and would LOVE to listen again. Huge props to whoever voiced the singing, be this made especially for the game or sourced/sampled from elsewhere
I loved this so much, it breaks the fourth wall, its cruel, it does no other vn does, its amazingly unique, if your looking for a different style in vns or like ddlc style i definitely reccomend this one even if your not, this is a masterpiece despite it having way too much monologue and way too lack of visuals this is still one of the best vns I've ever played
este juego es HERMOSO me encanto (aviso de spoiler) no hay un buen final pero los detalles son hermosos me encanto el juego y lo mejor esta gratis las 3 mejores horas de mi vida 1000/10 ojala salgan mas juegos como este en itch.io en vez de cosas de furros gracias ebi por este grandioso juego sigue asi y llegaras lejos
It took me way, way too long to actually play this especially considering I knew it would be exactly up my alley but ahhhhh, Ebi, I love this VN so much!!!
Spoilery stuff down here I guess?
I've always been intrigued by second-person perspective and the possibilities they offer and this was a wonderful exploration! A bunch of the themes in this are so similar to Duskbound, like the importance placed on names and the different endings all having a place in the narrative canonically. I loved the princess route the most I think, the idea of eating someone as an expression of love just resonates. It's the perfect crossroads of romance and horror. (I don't know if you've read Toilet Bound Hanako-kun but it also includes this beautifully, big rec!) Reading something so cool has reignited my passion for making my own stuff. Thank you so much Ebi!!!
This was such a good game. I really like how lonely you can feel by playing it. And not only that, even when you finish it. Such a cool idea for a theme! And atmosphere aaaaa I liked it the most!
Possible spoilers!
Characters were nice as well! Princess was my favorite, I love her design and her personality. Tho overall they all were kind, nice, not too yandere-ish. When I thought more about their motives and context, it made more and more sense... Also I liked glimpses of mc's backstory, I feel so bad for her :'((
Final ending was great, it was a nice conclusion! It was good to see mc standing up for herself and idea with starting new game to see what witch is doing was a very cool thing as well~ Also artstyle was sooooooooo pretty i love cg with Princess and mc in the garden, it is so pretty!!
The 180s on everything when you wake up (not the mermaid). the still image of the dungeon or realizing she is in a coffin was very heart dropping and you even know its coming, the only "good" option is giving up too so yay
The story of the game was breathtaking, and even the drawing. I liked the poetic phrases in the story, but I noticed that there was repetition of some phrases, and I did not like that. There was also not taking into account the order of choices,this made me realize that there is no hope for a good ending other than these things. The game was very good in the rest of the topics. each death had my heart thumping
la verdad esque te deja pensando un poco los graficos y la tematica es genial y puedes sentir el dolor de la protagonista y lo demas las frases un 20 de 10 este juego es genial recuerda nunca estaras solo;]

There was also not taking into account the order of choices, for example, the princess expected me to know the subject of the plague, and also if I chose the castle path directly. In the first choice at the end, you will remember Einstein's definition of insanity as repeating something and waiting for a different result, but I was in my first stage, and this made me realize that there is no hope for a good ending other than these things. The game was very good in the rest of the topics, and I am sure that it is an experience worth your time. in the end I want to thank the people who worked on making the game for their efforts
Not sure what you mean by 'black and white image': are you talking about the Ren'py loading screen? If so, it means the game never booted up at all. Maybe the download was corrupted. You can try deleting it and reinstalling it to see if it works this time.
The code for choosing your language isn't working on your phone for whatever reason. I'm not sure what the issue as it works just fine on my Android device. I can only suggest that you delete the game and redownload it, and if it still doesn't work you'll either have to play it on a PC/laptop (if you have one) or give the game a miss.
This game is extremely well made, I honestly can't stop thinking about it months after playing. The analogies and art, the backgrounds and storyline are so cool!!!
Hello, ebi-hime, I am a player from China, I played your visual novel game some time ago, I felt very good, the fairy tale and fantasy atmosphere is full, the music is also very good, but the disadvantage is that there is no Chinese, but now the Chinese is updated, I am very happy, I can better recommend to other people, I am here to express my thanks to you. Hope you can keep going
Very good game What I understood is that it is a kind of analogy to death and how no matter how many things you try it can always happen, at first I didn't like it because you couldn't make decisions but then it makes sense final rating 9.9 I just didn't end up liking that they always reused although in the end everything is good
before i download this, i'm curious on how good this game is! i don't want to waste my data on a bad game so someone pls tell Me would you recommend this to Anyone???? pls ^u^
i totally recomend it's really good and i dig this kind of games, the descriptions and dialogues were so beautifully written but it can get a bit boring because you get paragraphs after paragraphs of just description but exept for that i still think it's a great game and i hope you'll like it if you end up playing :))))))
I played this game last year, but English is not my native language, so I didn't fully understand the plot.With the Chinese translation finally understand the plot
I love the narrative of this game. Thank you for your creation!

Delightfully eerie with a wonderfully creative narrative
I didn't expect there to be two weeks, and I'm glad to have met this game. The ending was unexpected, and I really like the protagonist's resilience

Go to the games main menu and go to extras and then music, you can find all of the games soundtracks there. Hope this helps!

the witch is hot
Also why will the data reset if I play again and its sad I cannot play their route again without reseting the data.

Stuck on starting screen on mobile
What do you mean by the starting screen? Do you mean the language chooser, the main menu, or something else?
There was just a black and white image upon opening it, nothing else started even when I left it for like 20 minutes and restarted
Not sure what you mean by 'black and white image': are you talking about the Ren'py loading screen?
If so, it means the game never booted up at all. Maybe the download was corrupted. You can try deleting it and reinstalling it to see if it works this time.
It's just this
The code for choosing your language isn't working on your phone for whatever reason. I'm not sure what the issue as it works just fine on my Android device. I can only suggest that you delete the game and redownload it, and if it still doesn't work you'll either have to play it on a PC/laptop (if you have one) or give the game a miss.
