Do it. Buy it. Buy the game. Well it's not really a game I guess. But damn I had such a good time with this visual novel. It was my first one and I had really low expectations but it was so much better than I could have ever thought. I want an anime too lol. I can't wait for the other game to come out. Please dev I'm dying waiting.
Incredibly charming title, would recommend to anyone, even more so if they have never played a visual novel, I think it's a fantastic introductory VN. The dialogues are funny, tense, or dramatic in a really balanced way, the cast is memorable, and the story doesn't drag, it hooks you, makes you ask questions, and then gives you the answers in a satisfying conclusion without overstaying it's welcome. Of course, this is the first entry into the franchise, and the ending sets you up for its sequel, but the story contained on this game is not affected by this at all, feels like a self-contained game. I also felt the music was incredible and gave the game a pretty unique feel to it, story was memorable, characters were well-rounded, and the art was charming. Overall, I would easily recommend this title!

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

At most, an okay game with some potential (as it seems to be the first episode of its series)? The art style looks quite amateurish, and the story-line jumps around too much, making it feel like some scenes might have been cut due to budget constraints or similar reasons. The BGM is... sometimes it barely matches the plot, while other times it just plays or stops abruptly without any connection to what is actually happening in the story. Honestly, it might be better to just mute the sound... The female lead.... she has such a weak presence that it hardly makes a difference whether she's in the story or not. In fact, if, instead, the third female character were made the protagonist, the story might actually have a stronger sense of purpose and be more coherent. Recommend as it was a gift from my friends, and it offers trading cards and steam achievements... but won't suggest buying without a decent discount.
BGM好,立绘还行 ------------------ [spoiler] 我是一个国家的公主,我的国家马上亡了,敌人已经杀上泉水了,迫不得已使用了传送魔法导致传送到了未知地域,虽然我时刻提醒自己要赶快回去救国,但是我觉得更应该拯救刚认识一天且完全不熟悉的朋友。 在我的不懈努力下,终于在同伴(下属)快要暴毙的前夕拯救了刚认识不久的好友,准备回去的路上却被敌方boss截胡,被逼上绝路的我决定使出秘法结束敌方boss [/spoiler]
不知道为什么混有两个奇奇怪怪的成就...所以果断抛弃Sdo选择用pc推了:) 简短可爱的故事,挺值得一看~
I've played the demo before deciding to purchase this game, and I found myself really enjoying the novel. After picking up where I last left the demo, I found that a lot of the story is told through flashbacks, but regardless, this sets up for world-building potential. I don't mind this and I'm sure that this is the stepping stone for the second episode. I'm late to the series and sadly, the third game as of writing this review in 2025/11/13 has not been released yet. I loved reading this story line. The story incorporates magic, science, philosophy, politics and fantasy in one world. These five attributes in this game are what contributed to my immersion as a reader, and it manages to blend these subjects in a way that is captivating and emotional at the same time. Furthermore, they've nailed the fighting CGs and art in this game; there's nothing more to say past that. The negatives I've got to point out are that this game ends on a cliffhanger, is quite short for a VN and production time is, unfortunately abysmal. That being said, with how cheap this game is - the price is definitely worth it and I can't wait to play the next subsequent games. I'll definitely take a look at the next upcoming title for this franchise. 9.5/10

В fault - milestone one ты не просто читаешь визуальную новеллу — ты оказываешься наблюдателем за крошечной вселенной, где магия и наука сталкиваются так же резко, как мечи в битве на рассвете. Эта история начинается с разрушения: королевство Рузенхайд было атаковано, и принцесса Сельфина, весёлая и светлая, вместе со своей королевской стражницей Ритоной вынуждены бежать — но телепортация переносит их не домой, а в чужой мир, полный загадок и неизвестности. С первых страниц тебя встречает атмосфера тихой тревоги: густой лес, странные растения, никакой жизни — только шорохи ветра и твои самые смутные догадки о том, что произошло с их миром. Там, среди мрака, Сельфина и Ритона не просто пытаются выжить — они ищут ключи к возвращению домой и ответы о том, как вообще рушатся королевства. Игра не предлагает тебе развилок или многовариантных концовок — она представляет собой кинематографическую повествовательную новеллу, где весь фокус на истории и персонажах. Тут нет управления подобно RPG или приключенческим играм — ты просто следишь, учишься, переживаешь вместе с ними. Одним из самых прекрасных моментов для меня стала сцена, когда Сельфина впервые признаёт, что её оптимизм — хитрая маска, под которой таится страх. Вот тут история перестаёт быть просто путешествием героинь — она превращается в размышление о боли, надежде и ответственности, которые приходят с лидерством. Ритона, в свою очередь, — это идеальный контраст: мисантропичная, практичная, но при этом невероятно преданная. В её тихой заботе о Сельфине ты начинаешь видеть, что героизм — это не только победы, но и умение оставаться человеком среди хаоса. Ещё одна тема, которая оставила след, — это лёгкое чувство потерянности в огромном мире, когда герои не просто ищут путь домой, но одновременно ищут себя. Эта внутренний поиск вплетён в каждый диалог, каждый пейзаж и каждый взгляд на загадочный лес, который, казалось бы, живёт своей жизнью. fault - milestone one — это не просто визуальная история. Это поэма о магии памяти, о хрупкой связи между прошлым и настоящим, о смелости жить и искать ответы там, где другие видят лишь мрак.
This is one of my very first experiences with visual novels. So keep that in mind. Although I have enjoyed anime for a long time I never really have visual novels and chance and this definitely kept me turning the page (clicking the button?) Overall I definitely did have problems at first with how they were displaying mental health especially in such a young child. But I think by the end they did some work to address this and not put all the blame on said child Overall this story has an interesting fantasy world with fun world building and disturbing concepts. A lot of the characters are very young and shown commiting violet acts on other people or eachother. If that doesn't bother you it's definitely worth the read The themes all focus on mortality, morality, emotions and sense of self. Some themes of nature vs nurture. If we can be redeemed for our past actions (especially if we are young with less of a sense of right an wrong.) I'll probably continue reading more from the developers when I have the time.
好游戏,质量完全对得起这个价格,甚至可以说超值 人设很棒,世界观很大,cg很精美,音乐非常好听 公主和她忠诚的护卫真的很帅很美也很强,赞
