Mesmalie

Game is really good! With an interesting and somewhat deep story about [spoiler]loss and the ability to move on[/spoiler] and a really charming art style that reminds me of late 90's to early 2000's games like Monkey Island. Also the main character is adorable, and her sprite work and animations make her a really endearing and recognizable one. Overall i would say it's an 8/10 bc the story is a bit predictable and some of the minigames can become a little tedious but I wholeheartedly recommend it, and for the price it's basically a steal.

game good

A nice short-ish game, [spoiler] felt the ending was a little underwhelming but still a good game[/spoiler]

great style, fun story

quite possibly the best game i have ever played i didnt like visual novels that much but this game is just amazing everyone should experience this

Really cool point and click game that pushes the gameplay surprisingly far. The minigames are a lot of fun to master despite their simplicity, and the changes in art style and perspective keep them fresh. Mesmer is such an instantly endearing idosyncratic character, and that paired with the abundance of cute character animation is enough for me to recommend it for her alone. That said, the story and unfolding mystery are quite good. You'll need to play more than once to see everything, but it avoids relying on any big twist and remains self contained no matter how you play it. That said, I found it incredibly worth while to dig for secrets. It's fun, well written, and well paced, and only 5ish hours. What more could you want?

Mesmer sold me potions behind her house...

very good very good very good play it very good

good game :) mesmer generally is a very enjoyable character (her speech quirks hit that sweetspot for me of being noticeably eccentric while still being easily readable, which is important as the focal center of the game. its fun) and ill always love when a game rewards extreme curiosity. music is very good and i personally enjoyed the visual style and dialogue writing a lot so i had a great time with it. i think the resolution is a bit abrupt-feeling and i don't really get what the buildup around the protagonist is for, [spoiler]the phonecall is a nice secret but it really didn't convey all that much to me, and it feels like something is missing there to really bookend the game properly. act 4 was a lot of confirming what could be assumed and i wish there was just a bit more new meat to chew on. the game makes an effort to put us into mesmer's mental state at that time but it's just short of enough for me to really 'get' her. i think some more highlighting of how those 4 months post-ritual were like for her could've alleviated this problem a bit more.[/spoiler] but generally its super charming and i think outside of the ending the pacing is remarkably on point (all the little new minigames make gameplay also pretty fresh) with making you swing between trusting and not trusting mesmer.

I got violently assaulted by glass bottles but very fun :steamhappy:
