Fantastic game! I love the stories of the characters (and the fact that you can learn maths, chemistry and physics in a magic school XD) so much. However I do have some questions about Luca:
LUCA SPOILERS ALERT
In the midnight garden event (when the BG turns red and he kills you), Luca? has a questionmark after his name. In Luca's route his diary involves talking about a 'he':
7:42PM, he always puts sugar in my coffee when he thinks I'm not looking. His actions are futile, but I cannot bring myself to admonish him.
I wonder if these features show that Luca has another (soul? personality? devil? ) inside him. In his route he acts (mainly) normal and showed no sign that he would kill anyone, but the endings also talked about him murdering a professor. PLZ I really want to know if he actually has multiple personalities or if I misread or misunderstood sth!
ive looked everywhere but i havent seen anything about meeting Bugbear the first time you step foot on campus? he offers to give you a tour? idk but the first time (of many haha) i played this game i met Bugbear sometime after i missed the time where other new students were (i literally forgot the term im sorry) and he offered to give me a tour? i just wanted to ask and see if anyone else got this lol.
It took me three tries to finally get Hui but I did it ;-; First time I played I managed to get 32 Int and 5 Cha, sounds like me though. Slowly working my way to be able to complete every success route. Each character is charming in their own special way. I also adore the art style. Very cute game to play :)
i'm having trouble getting eleni's good ending... if i have more than 7 charisma i find that the event wont trigger but then i don't have enough for two of the dialogue options needed for the good ending ?? i looked at the guide and it didn't help what am i doing wrong lol
Thank you for such a wonderful game! It took me two days to finish every route. I must say that I enjoyed many of the characters, and of course there were some routes that made me feel uncomfortable. In Eleni's and Siri's routes, I wish there were a bit of a hint or clue that they are together at the beginning, so that I would know to avoid their routes. To be honest, I'm very sensitive with a "threesome" or being a "third person" in a relationship, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The thought of being a third person in their relationship makes me really uncomfortable, especially when it's clear that they are very possessive over each other. It's quite ironic how the MC finds out about their relationship in the ending (after going through all the storylines and trying to raise their favorability) - it lowkey felt like a slap in the face lol. While most of the routes made me feel that the MC is loved, whether platonically or romantically, Eleni's and Siri's routes made me feel like the MC is just a tool to make the other person jealous, and it definitely left a bitter taste in my mouth. I get that it might not be what the writer was trying to convey, but from a player's perspective, the game lost me from there. Well, it was an interesting ride nevertheless, and I really appreciate the time that the developers and writers took to make this game. I hope you receive lots of love!
this game is so cute!!!! i really wish it was more well-known. but does anybody know how to do the bugbear route? im a little confuse bc idk how to get close to him :(((
i think i can say quotes here, right? ima say one of spinel route
mc : "so you are a writer?"
spinel : " yeah, something like that. I suppose i write about that wich i would myself love experience most- yet, in my years of life, have come across the least. Fiction blooms from the root of truth, MC, like all things. Auntheticity, reality, true emotion. These are all that's worth writing about : the heart "
I've played this game a lot, still trying to get all the endings but I love it! Simon's route is my favorite, he is my beloved, he is so precious and I just want to hug him. Thanks a lot for making this game.
does anyone else's game crashes when you're supposed to meet bugbear in the library? like it doesn't close but it gives me that notice that something went wrong in the coding or something so i can never unlock his success ending :(
i think it's a fake out! you can make one of those pretty easily by just making an error in renpy that causes something you can just ignore. or jie could have just made the menu itself entirely! i dont think its actually real due to bugbear's gimmick, but even then, it might be
I am loving this game, so much I am making a full playthrough on my twitch channel. I will do every route and every possible scenario. Congratulations for putting so much effort in a such a cute little project! Hope you guys will receive the recognition you deserve.
i love this game!! the pixel art is awesome and i loved the characters a lot (alucain my beloved <3), the routes are very fun & interesting too!! i also liked the color palettes used, really liked the warm colors especially. great job!
this game is so good but sometimes i get mad bc of the runaway rodent ending lol idk how to not get that ending.
but overall great game, cute art (feels cozy)
Because of the comments about Luca's route, i mentally prepared myself but when i played it, I CAN'T CONTROL IT DAMN
but seriously, this is such a good game which can make you really immersed since look at me, I've been playing for weeks straight already just to get the characters' ending. I doubt I'll be moving on fast...
i'm genuinely confused as to why this isn't more well known bc this is one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life !!!!! I've spent so many hours on this and I've finally gotten all endings without any help of a walkthrough !! (i actually just noticed there was a guide rn. 4 months after i finished playing all the routes omfg fml) the art and music is top tier and the fact that there's so many possibilities makes it so engaging and interesting !! i really like how the setting of the game itself is so unique compared to other vns I've played it was really refreshing ( ´͈ ᗨ `͈ )
i love every one of the characters so much (even bugbear ..) and i may or may not have cried in several of their routes (cough luca) and i thoroughly enjoyed it !!! the color scheme is also very pleasing to the eyes and the characters are all unique in their own way and i adore them for it !! just the concept of the game as a whole had me in awe and SJDHSJDHNDFH just words can't express how much i love love LOVED this ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
overall this game is just absolutely lovely i enjoyed every bit of it and it definitely has a special place in my heart ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡ even though its been like 6 months since I've found out abt this i still play it so much to this day thank u so much for the wonderful game (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡
AAAAAAHH IMSOSAD im not sure if its a bug but i cant get dinae's good ending :((( i just started playing this game and i loved the casual playful teasing that we get with dinae so i tried to romance her after a couple others and i kept failing lol. i couldnt find any playthroughs on her route so i tried following the guide! i followed the guide and it was all going well until the fifth meeting. it seemed like she was going to tell me she liked hanging out with me so i was pretty excited and pumped and ready to date her!!! (SHES THE CUUUTESTTTT) but every choice i pick would just result in her getting mad at me and storming off and it would be the bad end. whats even more confusing is that none of the choices for my fifth meeting were the ones that showed up in the guide so i would just keep getting the bad end no matter the choice :"(( . has anybody gotten her good end? i dont know why its different from the guide. is it a bug? (SHES SO CUTE PLS HELP ME)
I'm slightly confused on Elines route.. Cause I need to do it *spoiler* For the third route you can do with both her and sirus ITs FRUSTRATING I JUST wantn atka;jdgnsdhfjgb Can anyone help me? I just WANT TO lkdasng.andsgjsg
i just checked, and i have no idea how to get it either, i've counted the classes, and since combat and defense is in the arena, there should only be ten images for the classroom
Idk if this applies to Siri's route as well but Eleni has 2 endings, one is where Siri interrupts you both and leaves but there's a second ending after you've done siris route where it's a poly relationship with both of them
I think I found a little bug right at the start, after choosing the classes, if I choose the Polaris house the part where the Welcoming Committee describes the house is skipped. That only happens with this house. Might be just for me too, idk =) Other than that it was smooth as can be. Tnx again!
The Itch.io launcher crashed (for unknown reasons outside of the game I’m pretty sure) and now the student spellbook refuses to open.
It was working before for like then 10 minutes before the crash, so I've tried to delete everything but I cannot get rid of the local data (verified because the saves I had are still there after various attemps), as I suspect something got messed up & booting it outside of the launcher doesn't work either
Does anyone know where the local files are stored/how to do a clean reinstall/ fix this issue generally? This game is so gorgeous and looks so promising and I really wanna play it orz
This is so much fun???? I got all of the characters' endings, 10/10. Every route was unique and interesting in it's own way. I definitely preferred the more serious routes (the sad ones, the ones involving romance, and uh... however you describe Bugbear's route). BUT the sillier ones (i.e. Noah's) were also a nice break/change of tone, especially if you just finished one of the heavier routes. I also like how not all of the characters' successes ends result in romance, and how some of them that DO hint at romance imply that the romance will develop more in the future (since a week is a pretty short time to fall in love with someone, haha). I love this game so much I feel like at some point when I'm less tired, I may write some of my thoughts about each of the characters. For now, I'll say Bugbear's and Luca's routes are really cool and well-liked for a reason. Also Areve's route is super underrated - omg I love her so much, she's so interesting and I would love to learn more about her. Might replay her route at some point haha.
I would seriously eat up another game expanding on some of these characters stories - or, if you don't publish another game, even like a comic or written anthology or something like that would be super cool. Definitely going to look more into some of these artists because I am attached to these characters lol.
((Spoiler warning for Bugbear's route below!!!!!! + discussion of its trigger warnings))
One suggestion, although y'all are done with updates I think, so understandable if you don't add it, but I feel like there should maybe be a trigger warning about how one of the scenes requiring the death/mutliation warning involves a child. Or maybe add more specific trigger warning about a kid people hurt in the guide instead of the game itself if you want to avoid ruining the surprise (and then add in the game "check the guide for more details" or something). The death didn't trigger me personally (like it was disturbing to me obviously, but in a good/effective way, and not in a way that triggered an episode or anything). But it just feels like someone who is comfortable with death/mutilation/gore in general could still find themselves triggered by THAT specific scene, and "extremely disturbing themes" is pretty vague. HOWEVER, it is your game, just a suggestion considering how intense the scene is!!!! And to be clear, I loved Bugbear's route + the horror elements in it so much, he's a very cool and scary villain and such a fun love interest, if you can even call him that lmao.
I've finally gotten bugbear's god ending (could it even be called that?) after what seemed like forever (that being 5 FREAKING MONTHS) AND I GOTA SAY I'm pleased, the storyline, art, and character lines? MMmMMMmMM ITS ALL SO GOOD exactly what I expected of bugbear, god it made me love him even more
as morally gray as it may be i found it hot, and pretty honestly LIKE I LOVED EVERY BIT OF IT JHDSDGDVHSVD
Guys this game? 1000/10 would defo recommend PLAY IT!!! it's worth it!
I actually raised my strength, by a lot, I made sure to take cryptozoology to make things easier to (ask about bugbears) , and raise charisma as well, the guide helps as well, but from personal experience, take all classes in the guide but remove one and replace with crypto, also make sure to go to the places where he is, and go to the library after extra-curricular, first meetings can happen in the garden, forest (exercise) etc..
won't go into details for the sake of my personal life but i just wanted to say that this game has like genuinely changed my life and it has had such a nice impact on me. im so so grateful for everyone who worked to make it possible, the support is more than deserved!! thank you so much for giving me a reason to wake up every morning throughout 2022, happy one year!!! <3 (in my timezone at least hjfgfh) live laugh love luca

yeah i think you get it when you first download the game
i love hui, so hard to get though
It took me three tries to finally get Hui but I did it ;-; First time I played I managed to get 32 Int and 5 Cha, sounds like me though. Slowly working my way to be able to complete every success route. Each character is charming in their own special way. I also adore the art style. Very cute game to play :)
i'm having trouble getting eleni's good ending... if i have more than 7 charisma i find that the event wont trigger but then i don't have enough for two of the dialogue options needed for the good ending ?? i looked at the guide and it didn't help what am i doing wrong lol
i have to say... i got luca's failed ending and was mad at the world. then i got the success ending.. and i hated the world even more.
How do I get the game working? I downloaded it and I can't play it.
WHY I CAN'T HELP LUCA T-T It's the good end but still sad after got him ending every time met him in class malediction made me want to cry
SPOILER ALERT!

You can't just make me fall in love with Bugbear and then end his route like that. 😭
Anyway, the game is very good and cute. I love everyone, especially Bugbear and Gwyneira.
how do i get siri to love me. me only. eleni keeps getting in the way. i just want siri. 😭😭
meet him sometimes and go to kitchen for free time. more info at the walkthru link at the description
holy crap i just figured out were being played both by siri and eleni
OMG love this game so mch <3 I really miss playing this game
this game is so cute!!!! i really wish it was more well-known. but does anybody know how to do the bugbear route? im a little confuse bc idk how to get close to him :(((
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PabomRM9NxDZA4lS720NJyy-wBnOM71jnspeEGy-Nzg/... here is a guide
thanks so much!
edit: finished the route, kinda wished i hadn't but oh well :)
i think i can say quotes here, right? ima say one of spinel route

i think it's a fake out! you can make one of those pretty easily by just making an error in renpy that causes something you can just ignore. or jie could have just made the menu itself entirely! i dont think its actually real due to bugbear's gimmick, but even then, it might be

This game is so fun but im struggling so hard to get siris :(( is there 2 endings or just one?
Idk if this applies to Siri's route as well but Eleni has 2 endings, one is where Siri interrupts you both and leaves but there's a second ending after you've done siris route where it's a poly relationship with both of them
Correct! It applies to both their routes . BASICALLY! If you done siris You can do Eleni. SO its.. JUST Yeah
Thank you so much for this game, it's great!!
I think I found a little bug right at the start, after choosing the classes, if I choose the Polaris house the part where the Welcoming Committee describes the house is skipped. That only happens with this house. Might be just for me too, idk =) Other than that it was smooth as can be. Tnx again!
