A modern day woman gets infected with COVID-19, then … gets sent back in time to the late 1600s of “New England” … or rather has a fever dream? [u]Praises[/u] • Some animations are pretty. • The hand-drawn art is a little rough, but it’s a refreshing change from how most visual novels are illustrated. • Good attempts at old English (I think). • Criticisms of religion, especially of Puritanism. [u]Complaints[/u] • No Steam overlay, so no screenshots. (I’m too damn tired for ShareX.) • No setting options. • The story is a tad cringey, because it feels like it was written by a white “feminist”. The whole point of the tale is to illustrate sexism/misogyny that women deal with, but it doesn’t represent [i]all[/i] women. The story is framed around white women, while any non-white women are secondary or minor characters. It’s like saying, “Yeah, women of color exist, but they’re not important to our ‘feminist’ narrative.” That’s why intersectional feminism is important. • There is no such thing as a good colonizer. First of all, they’re not settlers; that’s when you find land not inhabited by anyone and make it your own. [i]Colonizers[/i] steal land and make it their own. Any European participating in colonization of the Americas was guilty in some way, mostly because it all involved the rape, enslavement, and genocide of indigenous people. To even be “okay with” the concept of colonization makes someone absolutely disgusting. If you want to write a meaningful story, try focusing on the people whose story is rarely told.

Pros: -The music is pleasant (I'm listening to the soundtrack while I write this) -The art style is interesting, as everything static is hand-drawn and a lot of time has obviously been put into this -Inventive story, and it goes in unexpected directions -Voice acting for all the lines! Cons: -The story jumps around a lot between different areas and characters, and these aren't always fully established so a few times it felt like 'why am I here?' -Penny (i.e. the player character) doesn't really seem to affect the story all that much. You talk to different people and often just follow them until you bump into someone else. -The 'political' aspect of the game is a little too on the nose to me. Every male character you meet is awful and the female characters are the best thing ever. Now, the time this is set means that there was likely a lot of misogyny and things, but personally I prefer a more nuanced way of portraying issues like that. Possibly just personal taste though! Overall, this is definitely one of the better visual novel games I've played. The story isn't just about romance, there are voice-acted lines and it's obvious that a lot of time and effort went into this. As far as I can tell from Steam, this is the dev's first game as well, and it's definitely impressive from this standpoint. I would have liked to see more development of the story and of each character, as they were all so varied I'd have liked to learn more about them! This was definitely not an unpleasant way to spend just over an hour (and that doesn't include going back to choose different dialogue options). On a final note, I didn't understand the ending very much, though this may just be a personal oversight. The description says that Penny 'discovers her own special role in the changing seasons of fortune. Was it all just a dream, or was it a prediction of things to come?' and that didn't come across to me? Perhaps this is going to be a series and we'll get the answer later, or perhaps I just missed it. If anyone better than me establishes the answer please let me know!

The care and effort put into creating the world and characters is clear, and while the overall story lacks subtlety it is still engaging. The soundtrack and voice acting also greatly increased my immersion while playing. While I've never been the biggest VN fan, I have enjoyed my time with the game so far. Good job
This was a great game, a well-written story. Immersive and creative characters with wonderful spins on late 1600s theology and the power of women. The voice acting is top notch. I really enjoyed it. Sister Benedetta is the best!

Ну и хрень. Это что какая-то шутка? Если да, то не очень смешная. В общем, вам надоели истории о попаданцах? Я знаю, что меня как и многих русских уже тошнит от этих бесконечных однотипных баек про людей непонятно как угодивших в прошлое и наведших там шороху. Очень редко они бывают достойными. И у нас тут не исключение. Некая американская студентка попадает куда-то в прошлое, в эпоху Охоты на Ведьм - умерев\попав в кому\потеряв сознание от коронавируса. Да-да, они запихали сюда эту тему. То ли хотели убого хайпануть, то ли кого-то потроллить, но в любом случае - незачёт, что такая серьёзная тема используется для такой клоунады. На неё тут же начинают бычить какие-то мужики в париках, предположу что героиня предпочла бы миновав это попасть сразу в Ад - там хотя бы было бы не так уныло. То насколько уродливо всё нарисовано, а также уныло поданный сюжет и попытки никчемного неуклюжего эпатажа на довольно серьёзной теме наводят меня на мысль, что у этого могут быть общие разрабы с Internatianl Affair (уродливой тошнотворной гомофобной поделкой в жанре визуальных новелл с пародиями на Путина, Трампа, Ким Чен Ына, Джастина Трюдо и Николя Саркази в качестве возможных любовных интересов). Страница создателей в стиме, кажется, это опровергает, но всё выглядит очень подозрительно. Я не нашёл через Google Strategic Thinking LLC как компанию разработчика игр. Я нашёл только компанию, которая вроде как обучает людей информатике. И если вот это вот плод студентов данной компании, то учит она из рук вон плохо. Я, конечно, безумно, рад, что меня не заставили за это платить, но даже качать вам это и тратить время я не советую. Don't buy this. It's ugly and boring as seen and overall disgusting and tasteless.
