Will you ever make a mobile version? 

Does the download from here work without Steam being installed?

I notice it's not a "key only" game like some are, and there's no mention of a Steamworks DRM requirement, but it still mentions the service.

I’m loving this game so much so far! I hope this is still an okay place to comment! I just wanted to thank you for including nonbinary options for nonbinary folk like me the choice to have Mx and use they them is really great and validating! 

One thing I noticed that is kind of confusing is Ciel genders me correctly and has no issue with me so it seems kind of odd she’s so hung up on gendering Ivory- I feel like an option for a Ciel with a non binary parent would include asking Ivory “are you like Mx [name]? They said they’re not a boy or a girl they’re a parent.” Kids are curious and they tend to be better at asking about gender stuff than adults because they usually don’t care all that much they’re just looking for the right words. 

Anyway apart from that great game I’m loving it and I’m only three in game years in. Also shout out to whoever named the days of the week in Te Reo Maori completely surprised me to see that in a sci-fi game!

I played the demo for several hours, and got all the way to year 2!  I really loved this game. :)

I took a lot of notes throughout my playthrough.  Here's my feedback, if you're interested:

The tutorial said stamina reset each week, but it definitely did not.

There is a limit to 3 conversations with Ciel a week, but she only actually wanted to talk once every month or two.  Made the conversation cap unnecessary.

There are a lot of grammar errors throughout... but I was still able to figure out what was meant most of the time.

There seems to be no incentive to unlock advanced classes or jobs.  For example, I unlocked Swimming, which rewards endurance AND athletics.  But then I realized the athletics gain was about half of the tier 1 gymnastics, so I just went back to that for the rest of the game.

Certain flashing text (ie "Holiday" or "1 Skill Capped") can be very hard to read over top of the schedule.  Maybe if they were less transparent, or flashed slower?

I never figured out what the weekly meal options do.

I like how when Ciel got sick, I got the "inquisition" threat.  It made me assign WAY more rest days, which was likely the intention.  Very good scene!

With that said, I eventually tired denying Ciel any rest to see what would happen.  She got "very sick" and "stress", but nothing happened in the end.

I went to the salon expecting to get new hairstyles, but the salon sold clothes?  I'm not really sure why the salon, clothing shop, and trinket store all sell clothes.

I had to keep bumping up the game speed to 5x each week.  I wish it would have stayed there.

What does public school ACTUALLY raise?  It says "ALL", but I didn't seem to get any stat buffs from it.

I love the art and music. :)

A lot of the encounters had set goals: complete 10 sets, complete a blue set, etc.  My abilities and the ally attacks didn't seem to do anything in these.  I'm not sure why there were even there.

Only a small number of clothes granted effects.  I wanted Ciel to wear blue jeans, but they did nothing while the shorts gave a huge buff.  So Ciel had to wear an outfit I didn't like for optimal stats.  Sort of felt restrictive.

New characters were introduced constantly.  I wish there was more of a chance to get to know the existing characters.  I was hoping to see more scenes with Ciel and her classmates, but instead there was the Nieve, Sylphie, Lobsto guy, Helen, Ivory, Erkin... I was having trouble keeping everyone straight.  I do like Eli a lot though. :)

I accidentally skipped the tutorial the first time because I wasn't sure if "green" or "white" was selected.

Are the unlockable traits really worth it?  For example, reducing stress by 5% seems so minor.  19 stress instead of 20?  I'm not sure it was worth the investment.

Exploration is cool!  I completed all of Lower City, but that seemed to be the end.  No reward, and Grassland is still locked.  Also, my teammates have cooldowns, but they don't seem to be working yet.  I could bring them every week.

That's everything.  I want to say again I really liked this game and am looking forward to the final release. :)

Will there be a different version for mac?

Only on Steam? Not here on Itch.io?

I wanted to give it a try, but then (and I installed the files that you recommended to blubfish but the result didn't change) :

The characters and worldbuilding are pretty nice. The schedule and battle mechanics get a little repetitive over time though.

But overall it looks pretty good, can't wait to play the full game!

Reminds me a bit of Princess Maker.

I take it when it comes to Steam it will support Linux as it does now?

This seems like a fun game. It loves to freeze though! I tried saving a lot but if I forgot, it freezed again!

Is this game for Windows 32 bit? I have 64 bit and it's very slow and always freezes. When I opened my task manager to close the frozen game, it showed in the game name that it was 32 bit...

I pledged on Kickstarter because I saw the Linux support ^__^

Good Luck!

MAC? maybe?

Look's like a funny game. Congrats!

Had a blast playing this, thank you devs for suggesting this to me, and sending to my email! I really appreciate and find it an honor you guys think I should play this! I do like this thus far such a great story, also I am a sucker for Visual novels and simulations! I really am appreciative of it all! thank you for letting me gain experience from playing this! you guys deserve so much support, you got me :)

I really enjoyed this demo, it's both adorable and fun. I hope someday I'll get to play the full version. the step by step tutorials are super helpful.

I love the game and can't wait for the full game! Super surprised and happy about the amount of content the demo actually had.

Hello~ 

I'm honestly surprised by the amount of content this demo has. The 'card matching' gameplay for battles is pretty fun, and I'm very happy with the amount of NPCs in the game. I'm grateful that there's a detailed tutorial on just about everything the player may be confused about; although, I admit I skipped it as there was a whole lot of it.

There's definitely a lot of potential here from what I can see. The demo ran smoothly despite it lagging on OBS, the graphics are nice, and the music was alright so far. I do hope there will be more BGMs though. The most interesting part to me is the plot and the history of the world so I hope that'll be a bit of a focus at some point in the future. 

Overall, this is a gem with a tremendous amount of potential so great job! 

Best of luck with game development~

I love it and can't wait for the full game!

That being said, the gameplay I've had so far is brilliant - looking forward to when it comes out!

Hey! I'm trying to run the game, but my Windows Defender keeps detecting the launcher as malware. How do I fix this?

i love this game can't wait for a full version ^_^
hope you like my game play

I had an opportunity to play this game; even recorded an uploaded a video of the first part of it. There were a LOT of tutorials that I cut out, and they were a little overwhelming. But once I got past them and started to raise my daughter, I had a vested interest in what was going to happen to her. There's still SO much more to do, but I'm looking forward to it all. I hope you enjoy the video. Thank you for making this, and good luck with the Kickstarter! I can't wait to see what it evolves into! :)

Hi! Your game looks really cool, but I can't seem to actually play? Where do I report problems?

Hi! I downloaded the windows version and when ever I try to start the game it is just black screen.

I love this game, though (just to preface I've only played an hour or so) I wish there was more when it comes to 'help' in the game. Like, the tutorials are great but I have yet to find a way to actually go back to that information because I'm quite a forgetful person and can't always remember explanations (particularly, I have no idea how to combat/deal with the monthly weakening even though I know there was explanation given). The help button in the esc menu doesn't seem to function properly and is a bit of an annoyance to get out of once I open it - though I attribute that to the fact that the game's in alpha and it might not be fully implemented. But overall, I'm enjoying this game tremendously and can't wait to see how it pans out. 

I really want to support this game but my credit card doesn't work on kickstarter. :(

it won't open the game
