Such an interesting story centered around the FAE??? Yeah I'll take 100 of these thank you. Romancing Keo right now and they're silly. The character interactions and progressions feel very natural so far!! Can't wait to replay again and see all the different scenes for each RO!!!
Good stuff. If you don't like this genre then you wouldn't be here anyway, and if you do like this genre this is a good one. The introductory sequence where you effectively do character creation through interactive prompts didn't really work for me, I would have rather just done it in one go and had the setting introduction more center stage in the first chapter, but after that it was smooth sailing with a lot of good choices and responsivity to my preferences and decisions. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, If reading one of the three sentences in the entire novel in which gay marriage is mentioned in passing will set you off into a frothing rage, perhaps you would be doing yourself (and everyone else) a favor by not playing it (or anything else, ever again)

i really loved this one thoughts about the story the detailed descriptions of the enviroments and people and histories are really appreciated why wouldn't they just communicate normally they obviously have the capacity to do so it just feels like it's delaying the inevitable reveal could the novel magic be a human-fae past collaboration also why does it kill some and not all and was just laying around since the death of io nobody in all that time ever noticed or interacted with it how did virano come upon it i understand a scientist is supposed to make risks but that was beyond reckless and it ended up being the core conflict point if they were ever truly devoted towards progress they would've done better but incompetence is likely what's gonna happen next are people going to shun such odd magic just because of how it was misused giving it a permanent dangerous lable is there going to be a new form of discrimination is the new magic a new form of connection between human-fae that would revive the dream of co-habitation that's why the other cities need to be introduced to it via magic tower-tree what would one need to do/be to control such magic we didn't get an explanation about the history of normal magic itself
Muy bueno e interesante con los elementos de las hadas de una manera diferente. Tiene buena escritura y los personajes son interseantes.
Id rank this pretty high up in terms of writing cant wait for the sequel
pretty good, the dreams are confusing but that´s kinda the point, waiting for the next game
Im only part way through, but I can already tell this has all the potential to be really special. I have not gotten lost in a story like this since Wayhaven Chronicles and Arcadia: Second Born, the writing is excellent, the world feels lived in and well thought out, the descriptions of the fae lands are vivid without being overly wordy and the characters already have a lot to them right from the begining. The roleplay also feels excellent, distinct choices that feel like they would lead to different outcomes and especially during the moments with the other characters really let you feel immersed and in control, love it. I read this is the first part of a trilogy, if the rest of the game and its sequels are anything like what I have read so far, this could be one of my all time favorites. Marvelous work, well recommended. Finished the game now and yea, its pretty much as I thought innitially, it is pretty special. Love all the characters that we have in our party and the extended friend group of Tiane and Viara as well, love that even the characters you do not romance still have their own reputation dependant on your choices, being friends with Rin and seeing her wanting to stay in Leas with us was super heartwarming. Keo's got my heart, how could you not love her, childhood friend (I adore how you can form the past you share) who is devoted and caring like this, it ticks all my imaginary boxes, I cant wait for more of her in the future and I can see all the troubles its heading toward. Wren is deceptively perfect, I really like her dont get me wrong, but she just feels too good to be true as is, I expected that her ties to the nobility will be something of a source of drama for her, but that hardly seems the case so Im unsure as to where any sort of potential trouble will come into play with her. Rin is the sarcastic hardass who keeps her distance and is obviously meant to be stand offish in the begining, but if you do get her to care and get past her barbs she really grows on you quick. The type that will do anything for you once you do get close, she is funny too. Really curious if her issues with Keo will be popping up later as well. The story is an excellent setup, lore is incredibly interesting and clearly well thought through. I am kinda hesitant to dive more into the political side of things as that can be a turn off for me sometimes, especially when the magical side is so interesting but I have full confidence in the story by now. Got a few ideas as to where it could be headed but honestly, it does feel like anything goes. The replay value is imo really high and choices clearly have quite the impact, at least in so far as the happenings in this game. From "play as you want" perspective its up there for me. Also, I cant believe this is "only" 400k words, the game felt so much bigger and more expansive than that, it really goes to show how well paced it is, there is enough of good stuff for everyone, good dialogue, narrative depth, worldbulding and in my opinion really solid romance interactions as well.
A really interesting a well-written story with good relationship and character development
Good
This one is truly a hidden gem from Hosted Games. I love the writing, the setting and the story so much! It offers a deeply immersive sense of place. I can't wait for the sequel to release. <3
