一般。官方对中奖玩家的态度非常差。为爱发电支持众筹，时间金钱哪一个没给官方，到头来被一个签绘背刺。中奖时客服说的是游戏众筹后的三个月陆续发货，实际上无缘无故过了一年，突然发货且不让修改地址。OK，这些我都忍了。然而当我跨区不嫌麻烦过来拿时，中奖的画师签绘变成一个放🍠商店都没人买的徽章。找摩点客服说没人。找🍠客服说不归她管。

Эта игра впечатлила меня и я долго искала что-то в этом духе. История таинственного приюта и Велории - героини за которую мы играем очень интересная. Сюжет раскрывает историю каждого персонажа, постепенно позволяя собрать полную картину происходящего. Также мне нравится, что игра позволяет игроку самому изучать пространство вокруг, не ведя нас за руку. Отдельно хочу сказать о восхитительных иллюстрациях и вставках в сюжете. Музыкальное сопровождение очень приятное, не отвлекает от игры, но и не позволяет ей быть пустой. Несмотря на то, что это пиксельная игра, она очень детализирована. Я рекомендую эту игру, особенно любителям потустороннего, мистики и тёмной атмосферы.

공포쯔꾸르 게임은 포켓미러밖에 안해봤지만 이게임도 나름 공포게임답게 빌드업이 좋습니다. 다소 소재는 뻔하긴한데 그래도 분위기나 일러스트가 좋아서 나쁘지 않았네요. 단점으론 분량이 좀 짧다는거? 다른 리뷰에서 말하는 번역은 크게 거슬리지 않았습니다. 마치 기계번역을 한듯 다소 난감한 부분도 있었는데 읽어나가는데에는 문제가 없었네요. 다만 이게임 퍼즐이 상당히 어려웠는데 특히나 3장 시계 퍼즐은 전혀 감이 안잡히더라구요. 그래서 공식에서 무료DLC로 제공하는 공략집을 보고 했습니다. PDF로 되어있는게 제미나이한테 번역해주라고 하면 잘해줍니다. 퍼즐 막히면 너무 스트레스 받지 마시고 공략 보고 진행하세요! 아무튼, 짧고 느낌있는 공포 쯔꾸르게임 하고 싶은분들에게 추천드립니다.

Really fine RPG Maker type game, but also the game has some issues with translation. Practically anything can kill you with one shot so u have to fullfill your save list. Although the story is quite interesting while the endings and Vianna storyline are disappointing. I was also hoping for more CG's. Give it a time and be ready for Clock riddle...

6小时玩完了目前的全部三个结局，整体体验下来给我的感觉是好坏参半。首先不得不夸赞游戏整体美术风格，然后，就是缺点了 ，游戏剧情实在是有些让人摸不着头脑，在格里安章体现尤为明显。解密冗杂，剧情其实不算复杂，但文本表现云里雾里，两三句话就能概括的故事拆分成几章让人记忆稀薄不明所以表现零碎的剧情，搞半天还要自己拼.JPG。宣发说是可攻略的几个角色却没有一个让人体验到恋爱感情成分，艾拉线有些许描写吧但却太仓促，完全只是为了证明“我们有gl线呦！”而写出来的。而且有一个甚至被删了，你说可攻略角色不可攻略是什么意思.jpg。配音的质量和分量都十分参差不齐，以及声音时大时小的bug，翻了翻评论发现是发售以来就存在的问题，说是很多次修复可现在还会出现实在让人摸不着头脑也着实看出了经费不够。不过作为小工作室为起点的国产rpg还是可以看到诚意，比如时至今日还在进行的优化，以及十分注重玩家反馈，想了想还是点了推荐当作鼓励，希望后续的更新及重置可以带来良好的体验吧

A SAD BUT BEAUTIFUL STORY ALTHOUGH SOME PARTS OF IT FEEL MISSING I REALLY ENJOYED IT :)

Veloria: The Knot of Candles is an indie psychological horror adventure developed and published by WANDERING WITCH PROIECTUM. Built around themes of memory, fear, and emotional trauma, the game places players in the role of Velaria, a young girl who awakens in a seemingly abandoned orphanage after experiencing a disturbing nightmare. What begins as a search for answers soon evolves into a haunting journey through forgotten memories and long-buried secrets. The narrative uses mystery as its driving force, encouraging players to explore every corner of the unsettling environment while gradually uncovering the truth behind Velaria’s past. The abandoned orphanage serves as the centerpiece of the experience and is easily one of the game's greatest strengths. Rather than relying on elaborate visuals or large-scale environments, the developers focus on atmosphere and mood. Dimly lit corridors, neglected rooms, and eerie silence create a feeling of isolation that remains effective throughout the adventure. Every location appears to hold a fragment of a larger story, and the environment itself often communicates as much as the dialogue. This careful attention to atmosphere allows the game to maintain tension even during moments when no immediate threat is present. Storytelling plays a major role in shaping the experience. Instead of presenting all of its answers upfront, the game slowly reveals information through exploration, environmental clues, and key story events. As players progress deeper into the orphanage, they begin to understand the connections between Velaria’s fears and the dark history surrounding the building. The narrative touches on themes of childhood trauma, loss, and personal identity, giving the horror elements emotional weight. This approach helps distinguish the game from more conventional horror titles that focus primarily on scares rather than meaningful storytelling. Exploration is complemented by a variety of puzzles that require observation and logical thinking. These challenges are integrated naturally into the world and generally feel connected to the story rather than existing as artificial barriers. Players must pay attention to clues scattered throughout the orphanage, making progression feel rewarding. The pacing of puzzle-solving and story advancement is balanced well enough to keep players engaged without interrupting the flow of the narrative. Those who enjoy uncovering secrets and piecing together fragmented information will likely appreciate the game's structure. The horror itself is rooted more in psychological discomfort than in constant jump scares. The game frequently creates tension through uncertainty, forcing players to question what is real and what may simply be a manifestation of Velaria’s fears. This style of horror proves effective because it keeps players emotionally invested in the mystery. The occasional frightening encounter feels impactful precisely because the game spends so much time building anticipation. Combined with a haunting soundtrack and carefully designed audio cues, the experience succeeds in maintaining a persistent sense of dread. From a technical perspective, Veloria demonstrates what can be achieved with a modest independent production. While it does not possess the visual complexity of larger horror releases, its artistic direction allows it to create a memorable identity. Character artwork, environmental details, and sound design work together to support the game's emotional tone. The presentation consistently prioritizes immersion and storytelling, resulting in an experience that feels more ambitious than its scale might initially suggest. What ultimately makes Veloria memorable is its combination of emotional storytelling and atmospheric horror. The game is not simply about surviving a frightening location; it is about confronting painful memories and understanding the events that shaped its protagonist. The mystery remains engaging from beginning to end, and the gradual revelation of the truth provides a satisfying sense of progression. Players looking for an action-heavy horror game may find the pace deliberate, but those who appreciate narrative-driven experiences will likely find much to enjoy. Veloria: The Knot of Candles succeeds as a thoughtful psychological horror adventure that emphasizes atmosphere, exploration, and emotional depth. Its engaging mystery, unsettling setting, and strong narrative themes create an experience that lingers in the mind long after completion. While it remains firmly rooted in indie game design, it delivers enough tension, intrigue, and character development to stand out among many story-focused horror titles. Rating: 8/10

The puzzle mechanics towards the end were a little confusing for me, ended up looking at a guide to get through that section but otherwise it was a very lovely game and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It doesn't feel like a super in your face horror game and it hits you with tension at the perfect times, also managed to jumpscare me a few times but it's not happening constantly either. Would definitely recommend picking it up on sale or at full price, it's entirely worth it imo.

I really enjoyed this RPG horror game! The art is absolutely beautiful, I can tell a lot of love went into the character and environment design. The story itself was interesting, though the ending seemed a bit abrupt, and the puzzles were unique but challenging at times. Overall, I think this was worth playing and I would love to see more from the developers!!
