Moondusk Masquerade

I'm really loving this game! I think the art is beautiful and the story is very cute and swoony. I think the fairy tale vibes are so fun :) Oh and it works perfectly on steam deck! Two things- I wish there was an auto mode, and sometimes the language used and the events are set up in such a way that I can't really tell if the decisions I'm making are getting me closer to or further from my desired ending. I generally play VNs with a guide because I hate making mistakes so that's probably a me problem, but I think that it takes messing up to figure out what you missed. Excited to 100% this one.

I need to finish all the other routes but I did complete Meria's routes and LOVED them. Absolutely fantastic. The story is your classic fantasy mushy romance with flirting and honeyed lines and stolen kisses and I *love* that, personally. The plot I think is predictable but not in a bad way, but rather that they've clearly and thoroughly planted the seeds for the world-building from the very start + the classic tropes from other fairytale-like otome too. There were a couple of typos in the script and I think some of the options could be a little clearer in what precisely you're picking as I ended up misinterpreting what the option actually was sometimes. It was also surprisingly difficult to actually *reach* the official route split (reading all of the letters) because there are certain scenes that you don't realize you've missed until you're about 2 hours in and the game suddenly says you've failed and restarts your progress. I'm also not a fan that it would automatically rewrite over your current save file when it did that and I had to manually skip through a lot of the story to catch back up...that may just be a bug though? But I do wish it was more clear when you've missed something crucial for the story more immediately Overall the writing and the art for the game really scratched the spot for me and it was absolutely everything that I wanted out of a faerie court cinderella story type otome game and highly recommend playing it! I can't wait to finish Llyr's and Kalon's routes

I finished Meria's route, and I'm so happy I found this game. The characters are incredible, and the storytelling is good. I do have to say that some of the choices you have to pick on Meria's route are not intuitive, which makes it a bit of a gamble sometimes if you play without a guide. I definitely recommend this game if you enjoy fairytale stories.

Finished both Kalon and Llyr's routes at the time of writing this! Highly recommend this game if you like spicy yet sweet fairytale romances and the ability to explore the outcomes of your choices! What I liked: - The LI's designs and CGs are absolutely gorgeous! - The writing is pretty consistent and I could tell there was a lot of thought put into world-building. Although you can sort of predict where the story goes, the story still kept me hooked and interested! - Replayability - you won't cover all the scenes during your first run; with every new playthrough, there's usually something new (a scene or dialogue option) that I haven't seen before! - Kalon's route - by far my favourite and most fleshed-out route, Kalon is such a sweetheart and I love him so much I read his story twice! What I disliked: - At the start, getting the hang of how to play the game was somewhat time-consuming and frustrating. Nochi has since updated the game to provide a clear objective on how to reach the LI-specific routes (i.e., collecting all 6 letters from the LI), but before this update, I was STRUGGLING. I spent a good few hours trying to get to a LI-specific route with no success... but I eventually understood how to play the game (i.e., making saves before choices, understood which letters to collect). After understanding the gameplay, it became a lot more enjoyable - hence why I made an unofficial guide for other players to refer to in case they are struggling like I was. - I felt that some of the stories and character backgrounds were not as well-written as others. For example, I very much enjoyed Kalon's route, but felt that Llyr's route was rushed and not as engaging as Kalon's route. Overall, I feel that Nochi has made a gem of a game again (coming from someone who has played Somnium Eleven), and I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves romance in a fantasy, fairytale-esque setting!

I had consistent issues where the save files wouldnt load. super annoying. I also found the writing to be very boring and inorganic. i didnt find the characters that interesting and I didnt find the MC interesting either. wouldn't really recommend this. save your $11 and wait for touchstarved to come out next year since even that demo of that has better writing and content than this entire game

3/5。故事概念不错，但整体完成度不高。故事结构真的写得很模糊，作为商业化的游戏来说没有一个明确的导向与目的，情节也没有比较抓人的悬念。有一些细节根本没讲清楚，写得糊里糊涂，就像作者直接默认了读者知道了某些其实只有作者知道的东西一样。 机制还蛮有意思的，要集齐来自该ro的六封信才能进线，不过我懒得动脑子完全是照着攻略打的。感情线进得有点急，写得一般般。我只打了两个男ro的线，稍微吐槽下这两个结局都默认有孩子了。王子线neta了美女与野兽，还有点点替身梗风味，此人情书倒是写得很热烈，然而见到女主的表现又是另一回事了。骑士线有点偷情的小三感，和骑士偷情是自古以来的好文明，而且我觉得这条线感情也写得自然一些。 画风真的很好看，但只有这三个ro有立绘，这也太草率了吧！cg挺少的。skip功能超级无敌难用。
