This is so cute!!! What I like the most from this game is the writing. It's sooooo good. I got Harper but I like Lennox the best. Zorion is funny too and I'll probably play him first (aside from Lennox whom I think is a secret route. Ahem. Hot best friend with glasses ftw) The art is so cute and polished in my opinion. I like how the whole art direction meshes into a pink hue. The background images are well-picked, as well. Also loved that the whole story connects to books, a must-read for a book lover! The choices are decent, as well. Overall, it is wholesome and cute. I would play the full game because of the fluff. I was supposed to play this during Otome Jam season but just finally got the time to play it now. Great work! Looking forward to the full game ^^
I'm so glad you liked it ^^! Sadly, the full game isn't going to come out for a while as I am working on my other game at the moment and I'll also have to update all of the sprites and CGs because my artstyle has changed a lot since I made this game. I do plan on continuing it at some point since these characters are near and dear to my heart (also, yes Lennox is going to be a route on the full release).
