Hello there!

I played the first five chapters these last couple of days, experimenting with different choices, getting my flirt on with some of the cast, and enjoying the story to this.

I'll start with saying that the writing in this is of a pretty good, consistent quality. The world building is quite interesting and is quite a unique combination of Norse mythology and sci-fi that works surprisingly well together. It stands out from everything else and feels really fresh in the VN genre. The plot and world is interesting and fleshed out too. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into how this combination would work. I won't say too much about characters yet as this story is still in progress.

The general artwork is also quite polished and looks quite nice to the eyes. With character designs having a distinct look from one another, to the typically high quality CG's and backgrounds. It is a good looking VN overall.

The music is fine and gets the job done. It didn't particularly stand out to me but what did was the voice acting. I was skeptical of it being fully voiced but it ranged from decent to really good with nothing I'd call outright bad. Is there a way to see who plays who? I would love to credit a couple actors in particular who I thought did awesome in their roles.

Overall, a fairly enjoyable start to this. If I were to score it it'd land around a 7.5-8/10 as of right now. It is early but I don't feel like my choices have a big impact yet and it feels like illusion of choice right no but maybe I just need to play around some more. I won't factor it too much right now as there is still a whopping fifteen chapters to go.

Still, really enjoyed the about the ten hours I spent with this. Will be looking on in anticipation for whenever the next batch of chapters drop.

Good luck with the rest of development and have a good day!

I know this will not apply to a lot of people but this was a mixed bag on the Steam Deck.  At least it is native Linux so I don't gotta deal with Proton.

First off, the game only seems to support 16:9 aspect ratios judging by the available resolutions I had. Not a big deal but since the Deck is 16:10, there is some small black bars at the top and bottom. Slightly annoying but certainly not the first game I've dealt with it.

I know the game lacks controller support, I saw that in the supported inputs. I figured I can just look at the controls in the settings and just use a custom Steam Input layout. Unless I missed something obvious, I couldn't find a layout. Which made it much harder to set something up.

The game auto set the resolution to 960 x 540. Not an issue, I just set it to 1280 x 720... and now the text is tiny and barely on the text box. This seemed to resolve itself by switching the resolution back and forth a few times though.

The game itself runs just fine though. In the hour I played there was no significant bugs and I got the general impression it was pretty polished and a lot of care went into this. I 'm not here to bash the game, just some observations I made while playing on my Deck.

I wish you nothing but the best devs and hope the launch goes well! Have a good one :)

Hello there! Just wanted to say I liked the demo and am looking forward to the full release later in the month. I just had a couple questions however:

It doesn't seem to be listed which platforms this is coming to from what I can tell. Any chance this will be on MacOS at all? I played on my main Windows machine but I'd also like to play on my Macbook if possible. Not a dealbreaker though.

Also, how long would you estimate the game is on a first play through? Let's say... average reading speed. If you don't mind sharing that. Length won't deter me but I do like to know the time commitment I'll be putting into this.

Lastly, I hope you have a great launch! Have a good one!

Thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated!

Quick questions! 

Firstly, how often would testers receive new builds to test?

Secondly, how long is each route on average? I’m trying to figure out how much time I can dedicate to this so estimated time would be nice to know.

Thirdly, is it all one client or separate downloads for each route since we can pick and choose what we want to test?

Thanks!
