Hello there, I just wanted to say that I love so much this game and I can t wait for the fandisk and others games to come out. I wanted to play so much another from your company that i searched for Locked Heart ^^ It was an interesting one too. And, if you don t mind can you explain what the fandisk is about and will will be released because I understood it will be done until the end of this year :c
That s all, thank you for your hard work and for reading this message ^^
The fandisk is an afterstory where you can see what happens after each route. It's an epilogue of sorts. We have no release date yet. Hopefully early this year.
Oh, I see. I can t wait for it and playing your future games ^^ Today i discovered that my friend played too Cinderella Phenomen x3 and I told my friends to play it too. I hope your games will get more attention with the time.
When I try to download with itch launcher it says "truncate ~/.config/itch/downloads/434947.zip: invalid argument". I am not sure if it is related to me or the game. All downloads except this one were successful. I am using Linux. Anybody has any suggestions?
Hi there! First of all, I'd like to say that I absolutely LOVE this game! After finishing Rod's route (for both endings), needless to say, I was hooked. I can't wait for the fandisk and I'm looking forward to it! Great job! :)
However, I have an problem that's been going on within the game: for some reason, I can't unlock the "Guided by Intuition" achievement, even when I did not activate the RCI... Could there be something I'm doing wrong??
Hello. Rielle! We're so glad that you enjoyed playing the game! We're just as excited to get the fandisk out ASAP! Thank you again.
As for your question, it is possible that you may have not chosen all of the right choices or you have not started your game without the RCI tutorial in the save file. We hope this helps. Let us know if the problem persists so we could investigate it. Thank you and have a nice day
I've played this visual novel earlier this year. I have to say it was a magical experience! The unconventional way of story-telling astound me.
I would like to say I am a fan of your visual novels from "Locked Heart" to this vn "Cinderella Phenomenon" . The fairy tale theme is my cup of tea. Man, I could see how much effort was put into this project. Every characters route were unique in their own individual light. Waltz's good end really tear me up, damn onions making me cry. Also, Fritz's route was surprisingly well-written. Kudos to you guys :)
Lucette is me in a different dimension. Oh shush.
Anyways, are guys planning on making a sequel for Cinderella Phenomenon?
Oh my god... This VN is so good. Like seriously. I've only played Rod and Karma atm, but I am not getting bored of it. The visuals are so pretty, so deserved to be called visual novels. The story is really good, the characters are amazing, the story & character progression too! I love it so much. I have yet to play Rumpel, Fritz and Waltz!
A thing that I found your VN different from others are the choices. I chose what I thought is the best (which is the generic nice ones) but I was wrong. Sometimes, you just have to be a little aggressive but I would understand why you would make it like that. Keep making more visual novels!!! I love you so much!!!
I've played so many games and read many VN, but honestly....This is the best one I've ever read. I absolutely fell in love with it. I literally can't forget it and my lord.... You stole my heart. I can't find anything to top it as of yet. The storyline is absolutely great, as well as the visual and music. I love how it is still interesting whenever you choose a different route, you don't get the same point of view. Ahhh, I love it so much! Thank you for all the hard work and opportunity to read/play this!
It was the best experience and my first vn which I actually read!
But I recommend you playing one story in a day. I was feeling not so good when after Karma I chose Rod and it was like "Noo, Karma, do not look!", so please. If you are an emotional person like myself, please consider this. And actually about two after stories which you need to open, truly I did not enjoyed them fully. [spoiler]I am not a fan of friendsallmylife stories and again I did not feel anything from story with Waltz. Though, I like him, he is kind and really knows what our heroine needs, but on the over hand, building relationship in a war is not my favorite topic, cause, you know, I am focused on her mother not on kissing my bestie! And I played last story with the knight cause I thought it would be the best part, and partly it was. With his other side, Varg! And I would stayed with him! Cause I really didn't understand from where did heroine's feeling came and I do not understand it now. Almost all story I am meeting Varg, and I was so sad when he erased himself for her! She just "okay", hello my white knight lets kiss and hug. Well, for me it was a little amusing. Although, through the story where were a little bit explanation that Varg was doing things she was afraid of and all (I mean the kiss and chasing) and he loved her only through Fritz, but at the same time I find out about him more that about Fritz, so I did not understood this love line. Maybe it was just for "what if"[spoiler] In summary, game is awesome! It was tasty! Thank you! xD My favorite stories was with Karma, Rod and Varg xD I thank you for creating this game and I hope you will continue make people happy!!!
Nothing to say except I LOVE it! I enjoyed the plot, especially Waltz's route. This is a great game that made me feel different emotions. I even teared up at some scenes. The artworks and CGs are awesome as well. I highly recommend this game to be played by anyone interested. I promise, you won't be disappointed. Hope you guys make some more games. :D
...
Wow. I actually had quite a bit to say about this game. XD
I had a great time playing this game! It's easily one of my favourites. The art is great, the music is beautiful, and although I was really frustrated by the Heroine's attitude at first, the story actually gave her background and made her not only understandable but also relatable, which is really hard to find in otome games. The love interests were also all intriguing in their own ways. My only complaint would be the long closing sequence that plays after every ending. I don't mind watching it once, since it provides the names of the talents behind this great game, but it became a little irritating after having seen it about 4 or 5 times. That didn't however, take away from the rest of the game. 10/10 would play again and would recommend.
Hello. We're sorry to hear about the download error. Could you clarify if this only happened on itch.io? This is assuming that you have downloaded other 1GB content or similar file sizes. Perhaps try refreshing it? There's also the possibility that the files were missing during the download process which can happen due to the large file size. We hope to help you resolve this as much as we could. Thank you for your interest in the game and have a nice day.
This game is honestly the best visual novel I've played so far. The story line is so unique and I love the character development. I can't wait to see more games by you guys. :))
i just started 5 mins ago and im already greeted with a catching intro. No jokes but the intro got me so hyped , i felt my pulse beating so hard. It felt like an unseen force was holding me down. I was paralysed with excitement. ITS JUST A WONDERFUL FEELING. And as soon as i ended the tutorial(which was helpful btw because some wouldn't do so), im greeted, again, with a touching backstory. I believe in balance and equality so it really feels gooooood to play and experience a story that revolves around my belief. Thank you so much! For the artwork, story... for EVERY click that has taken place to make this magnificent artwork! <3
Hello Dicesuki! First of all, what a magnificent game. I really enjoy it and this is the most interesting, amazing, visual novel i ever had (even for free, which helps a whole lot for students like me which can't afford to pay.... yet.)
Though i want to ask, each time i fast-forwarded the text (from the beginning to the first choice) there's always a warning saying that the script is broken or something like that, and makes the possible chance of infinite loop. It shows that i can either rollback, ignore, accept or quit the game. I decided to ignore, hoping it would never harm the game. Is it okay, though?
Secondly, will there be any epilogue? Can i ask when will be the release date? I can't wait!
Thanks Dicesuki! Love your work a whole damn lotsssss! ;;
Hello, Chrystoelle! Thank you so much for playing Cinderella Phenomenon! We're sorry to hear that you have encountered the bug. It was something we have fixed in the first version of the game which was built on a different version of the engine. Ignoring this error may allow you to move forward. If you could name which part of the script you found this error, it would help. Secondly, yes! There will definitely be an epilogue. You can stay up to date with the #CPFandisk hashtag on our Twitter or #CP Fandisk on Tumblr. Thank you again for your support. Have a nice day!
So i took the screenshot when the error happened, and apparently it's not just me who encountered this bug (i did introduce the game to my friends and they encountered this kind of bug too). I did choose to ignore though, glad if it doesn't harm the game in any how. Truly support for your next work (if there's any) and will be very looking forward for the epilogues! <3
I'm Sasha Mocha and I'm a budding Youtuber and I'm planning to record the gameplay of your game (Cinderella Phenomenon), post it on my Youtube channel. I'm here to ask for your permission to monetize (Allowing Youtube to put ads on) the video. Is it okay?
Let me just say, before now there has NEVER been a game where every single route interested me. But my god, Cinderella Phenomenon has done it so well. Every route is thoughtful and immersive in its own right, and the buildup of twists has me shook every single time I play a new route. Even though I grew emotionally attached to Karma (my beautiful sword-wielding child), I never felt distracted from the other routes because one route was better than another (they were all equally phenomenal). Also, I really, really appreciate that the general storyline varies for each character. Even in paid games, it’s often the same plot but just with a different love interest, but the weaving of stories is genuinely remarkable in this game. It was so fun to just try and piece together each character’s secrets, especially because the main character (in all her angst) is remarkably likable. There is never a moment where she feels like just another plot device, but rather she’s this calm, collected enigma who no one can seem to figure out. And, even from the beginning of the story her woes are so beautifully justified that it’s hard not to want to take her side in every argument, because you know what she truly struggles with even when she keeps a calm face for the other characters. She’s so stunningly dynamic and relatable that she very well may be my favorite main character of all time. That, and the fact that the game plays the concept of right/wrong SO WELL because in reality, everyone believes they are in the right and justified in their actions. Even with characters that are all too easy to hate, they still have these well thought out weaknesses that make them hard to despise completely. It’s also a cool concept that just based on who the main character chooses to pair with at the beginning has such a large effect on who lives/who dies, the ultimate villain, etc. I literally can’t sing enough praises for this game. I’m an English major and a total literature nerd and because of that reading into plot has become second nature, and thus a lot of times plot gets boring because it’s too generic/just filler/etc. I can say with confidence that there was never a single moment in the entire game where I felt bored or uninterested. I pride myself on being able to see twists coming, and there were multiple times in every route where I would gasp aloud and laugh with shock because every reveal is just THAT good. I love that every piece of information is actually relevant to the plot and not just filler, and I especially love all the clever little references to the original Brothers Grimm and other German tales. Sorry for the excited little rant, but I hope it just shows how much I truly appreciate all the work put into this game. You should be very proud of such an amazing masterpiece. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I really love this visual novel, it's my favorite for sure!! but there is a problem, I finished two of the three routes(Karma's and Rod's and both in good ending) but Waltz's and Fritz's routes are still not opened yet. What do I have to do to open them?
We have observed that this bug occurs frequently when the game is downloaded from the itch.io platform. You may play the game on Steam since the unlocked endings and achievements carry over. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Let us know if any more bugs have persisted. Please and thank you.
oh, dear! We're very sorry to hear that. We will look into it as soon as we can. This is the first time we've heard that someone couldn't move forward through the game on Steam. Thank you again. Have a nice day!
ummm sorry but i really REALLY wanted to check out your game but i was watching a youtber say that this game is free but it says name your price well i did the 0 dollars but it wont let me download it im sorry but i cant afford this game if it has a prise on it not to sound rude this is my first v novel i dont really know what to do right now( if i couldafford that i would pay alot) please tell me how to download it p.s sorry fo my grammar im from another country
Why is happens this error at the ending of game on android? I am unable to get the unlockable characters, i really love this game and i want Fritz and Waltz but it doesnt save my progress at the end and get that "exceptional error". Please help me with that i really want to play all routes 😢
Hello there. We have no power over android bugs since we weren't the ones who converted it. Like everyone else, all we can do is wait for them to fix those bugs. What we can suggest right now is to play the pc versions instead. Our apologies for this. :(
This is hands-down the best visual novel I've played. The story kept me entertained through all five routes, the love interests were all endearing in their different ways, and the side characters had interesting stories and personality quirks of their own. (You know a game has great characters when even the inanimate objects have personality - who knew I could love a broom this much?) Best of all, the protagonist was fascinating in her own right. I have never been so invested in the main character of a visual novel before. Lucette is strikingly original, and watching her grow and change in each of the story routes was incredibly refreshing.
I was pleasantly surprised that there were no love interests or routes that I disliked, even if I didn't love them all equally. My favorite love interest was Karma (I love redheads, pretty boys, and boys with swords, and it doesn't hurt that Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale), but I think Waltz's route was the most satisfying. That was the route that tied up all the loose plot elements, so definitely save Waltz for last.
There are a few typos here and there, but a lot fewer than I was expecting. When I think about how many commercial visual novels desperately need better editing, that's pretty impressive.
My one complaint about Cinderella Phenomenon is how heteronormative it is. It would have been nice to see at least one female love interest. Or failing that, I would have liked to see even the possibility of same-sex relationships acknowledged in the game. (For instance, a bisexual woman could have broken Karma's curse by falling in love with the woman he pretends to be and remaining in love once she learns he's a man, but this possibility is never even hinted at.) On the plus side, the writer(s) nimbly side-stepped opportunities for transphobic, homophobic, or misogynistic humor relating to Karma's cross-dressing, and I commend them for that.
I just finished everyone’s route and honestly, I loved this. It’s been a long since a story has left me feeling so content and happy. It’s so well paced and the MC is so well written.
Waltz’s was definitely my favourite, without a doubt.
I literally just recently made an itch.io account just to tell you this:
This game. Is. FRICKING. and when I say, FRICKING, I mean F R I C K I N G , amazing.
I've never felt so invested in a free VN in all my life before. This will probably be my number one for a while.
Not only is it free and beautifully-made, it also holds beautiful art, lovely music, and lovable characters to go with. I especially loved the Main Character, as she started off imperfectly, with the whole "I'm-Cheerful-And-Adored-By-Everyone-Because-I'm-Cute-And-Perfect" gimmick that most heroines tend to showcase. I loved that she was stoic and bitter at first, with reasonable intentions of course, and I loved how she was close-minded-turned-to-character-development. It's lovely.
I loved the rest of the characters too. I love the story line, not to mention the beautiful, beautiful, soundtrack and art. It's free, beautifully-crafted, and overall spectacular. Breath-taking.
Looking SOOOO forward to your future games, Dicesuki. Best otome game of the year and possibly the best otome game ever. Please make more <3
I know this might have already been said but... the premise is just... something that has been needed for SO LONG in these VN games.
The MC is not instantly "incredibly beautiful perfect and beloved by everyone - and all the guys want her and all the girls wanna be her" from the get go.
This is a fabulous alt-universe that asks: "What if Cinderella was a spoiled, emo, narrow-minded, stuck-up, narcissistic b**** that needs to grow the eff up?" - I just started, still in the prologue... and have never been so HAPPY to watch the MC get herself thrown a nasty curveball (the aforementioned 'curse' in the description).
I can't wait to see how she grows (oh, gawd, I hope so. If not ... it makes the whole game kiiinda pointless...)
My favourite character was definitely Waltz,followed by Rod! I usually like one character from the start and continue with his route,thinking it'd be the best,but this game is one of the few that actually made me feel interested in all of the characters' backstories,simply because all of them were unique in their own way.Great job! :)
Wow, this visual novel is easily one of my absolute FAVOURITES!!! I haven't even finished any of the endings yet, but I love it!! I was pretty reluctant to play it at the start, but I am SO GLAD I kept playing! I LOVE IT!!!!
I'm not gonna lie, this is easily one of the best VN games ever. As in EVER. seriously, I even prefer it to big name games like Amnesia and Hakuoki. Really, it's THAT good!
I've literally just finished the game, and I have to say, I was absolutely mindblown.
I'm normally not a frequent otome game-player, but seriously, this is making me reconsider. I've fallen in love with every single character and their plot lines, just seriously, wow. I'm high-key obsessed and I can't stop playing it even after finishing it. I wouldn't stop until I got all the achievements, and now all I want to do is get a sequel, like, seriously. This is such good content!! I'm so glad that this game is free to play, otherwise I would've missed out.
This game is pretty much everything I wish in an otome.
It has a main character that isn't necessarily an action girl, but still far from the helpless blank-slate maidens you'd normally see in this genre. Lucette is a breath of fresh air in the midst of otome heroines with little to no personality or personal goals.
It has a GREAT supporting cast, which consists of several lovely ladies that have huge roles in the story.
Each love interest has a different storyline, and thanks to the protagonist having a backstory and personality, each of them has at least one thing the protagonist can relate to.
The artwork is beautiful. All the love interests are incredibly attractive. My only complaint is that some of the proportions seem off, but the coloring pretty much covers that.
The music is also delightful and well-suited to the story. The PV song is also quite pleasant and even managed to get stuck in my head for quite some time.
This is really high quality free stuff. I can't recommend it enough.

Hello there, I just wanted to say that I love so much this game and I can t wait for the fandisk and others games to come out. I wanted to play so much another from your company that i searched for Locked Heart ^^ It was an interesting one too. And, if you don t mind can you explain what the fandisk is about and will will be released because I understood it will be done until the end of this year :c
That s all, thank you for your hard work and for reading this message ^^
Hello. Thank you so much for playing our games!

Seconding this. I'm using Linux too and I'd love to play this game!

It’s also a cool concept that just based on who the main character chooses to pair with at the beginning has such a large effect on who lives/who dies, the ultimate villain, etc. I literally can’t sing enough praises for this game. I’m an English major and a total literature nerd and because of that reading into plot has become second nature, and thus a lot of times plot gets boring because it’s too generic/just filler/etc. I can say with confidence that there was never a single moment in the entire game where I felt bored or uninterested. I pride myself on being able to see twists coming, and there were multiple times in every route where I would gasp aloud and laugh with shock because every reveal is just THAT good. I love that every piece of information is actually relevant to the plot and not just filler, and I especially love all the clever little references to the original Brothers Grimm and other German tales. Sorry for the excited little rant, but I hope it just shows how much I truly appreciate all the work put into this game. You should be very proud of such an amazing masterpiece. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is one of the best, most heartwarming and heart-wrenching games I've ever played. 10/10 recommend.
I really love this visual novel, it's my favorite for sure!! but there is a problem, I finished two of the three routes(Karma's and Rod's and both in good ending) but Waltz's and Fritz's routes are still not opened yet. What do I have to do to open them?
May I ask what platform you played the game?
Windows. If you asked that.
We have observed that this bug occurs frequently when the game is downloaded from the itch.io platform. You may play the game on Steam since the unlocked endings and achievements carry over. We're sorry for the inconvenience. Let us know if any more bugs have persisted. Please and thank you.
I did download this game on Steam, though.
you need to finish 3 routes
oh, dear! We're very sorry to hear that. We will look into it as soon as we can. This is the first time we've heard that someone couldn't move forward through the game on Steam. Thank you again. Have a nice day!

Hi, I was just wondering when the epilogue comes out here or on Steam :)??
We'll definitely release it here and hopefully on Steam as well :)
I LOOOOOVE this so far. However, How do i get a good ending for Karma. Our unfinished love story is killing me.... \
Thank you for making such an amazing game with brilliant graphics and music
I loved the game and all the routes! Will the soundtrack be up for purchase in the future? Can't wait for the next game!
Thank you! The soundtrack for CP will not be available for purchase since the bgm we used were royalty free music. Perhaps for our future games. :)
Why is happens this error at the ending of game on android? I am unable to get the unlockable characters, i really love this game and i want Fritz and Waltz but it doesnt save my progress at the end and get that "exceptional error". Please help me with that i really want to play all routes 😢
Hello there. We have no power over android bugs since we weren't the ones who converted it. Like everyone else, all we can do is wait for them to fix those bugs. What we can suggest right now is to play the pc versions instead. Our apologies for this. :(
This is hands-down the best visual novel I've played. The story kept me entertained through all five routes, the love interests were all endearing in their different ways, and the side characters had interesting stories and personality quirks of their own. (You know a game has great characters when even the inanimate objects have personality - who knew I could love a broom this much?) Best of all, the protagonist was fascinating in her own right. I have never been so invested in the main character of a visual novel before. Lucette is strikingly original, and watching her grow and change in each of the story routes was incredibly refreshing.
I was pleasantly surprised that there were no love interests or routes that I disliked, even if I didn't love them all equally. My favorite love interest was Karma (I love redheads, pretty boys, and boys with swords, and it doesn't hurt that Beauty and the Beast is my favorite fairy tale), but I think Waltz's route was the most satisfying. That was the route that tied up all the loose plot elements, so definitely save Waltz for last.
There are a few typos here and there, but a lot fewer than I was expecting. When I think about how many commercial visual novels desperately need better editing, that's pretty impressive.
My one complaint about Cinderella Phenomenon is how heteronormative it is. It would have been nice to see at least one female love interest. Or failing that, I would have liked to see even the possibility of same-sex relationships acknowledged in the game. (For instance, a bisexual woman could have broken Karma's curse by falling in love with the woman he pretends to be and remaining in love once she learns he's a man, but this possibility is never even hinted at.) On the plus side, the writer(s) nimbly side-stepped opportunities for transphobic, homophobic, or misogynistic humor relating to Karma's cross-dressing, and I commend them for that.
I just finished everyone’s route and honestly, I loved this. It’s been a long since a story has left me feeling so content and happy. It’s so well paced and the MC is so well written.
Waltz’s was definitely my favourite, without a doubt.
I literally just recently made an itch.io account just to tell you this:
This game. Is. FRICKING. and when I say, FRICKING, I mean F R I C K I N G , amazing.
I've never felt so invested in a free VN in all my life before. This will probably be my number one for a while.
Not only is it free and beautifully-made, it also holds beautiful art, lovely music, and lovable characters to go with. I especially loved the Main Character, as she started off imperfectly, with the whole "I'm-Cheerful-And-Adored-By-Everyone-Because-I'm-Cute-And-Perfect" gimmick that most heroines tend to showcase. I loved that she was stoic and bitter at first, with reasonable intentions of course, and I loved how she was close-minded-turned-to-character-development. It's lovely.
I loved the rest of the characters too. I love the story line, not to mention the beautiful, beautiful, soundtrack and art. It's free, beautifully-crafted, and overall spectacular. Breath-taking.
Looking SOOOO forward to your future games, Dicesuki. Best otome game of the year and possibly the best otome game ever. Please make more <3
took me 27 hours but I finally completed all of the routes! amazing game, I hold this game very dear to me!
Perfect game. Interesting stories, beautiful drawings, cool animations and sounds, nice music. Very good idea about curses based on fairytailes
I know this might have already been said but... the premise is just... something that has been needed for SO LONG in these VN games.
The MC is not instantly "incredibly beautiful perfect and beloved by everyone - and all the guys want her and all the girls wanna be her" from the get go.
This is a fabulous alt-universe that asks: "What if Cinderella was a spoiled, emo, narrow-minded, stuck-up, narcissistic b**** that needs to grow the eff up?" - I just started, still in the prologue... and have never been so HAPPY to watch the MC get herself thrown a nasty curveball (the aforementioned 'curse' in the description).
I can't wait to see how she grows (oh, gawd, I hope so. If not ... it makes the whole game kiiinda pointless...)
My favourite character was definitely Waltz,followed by Rod! I usually like one character from the start and continue with his route,thinking it'd be the best,but this game is one of the few that actually made me feel interested in all of the characters' backstories,simply because all of them were unique in their own way.Great job! :)
Wow, this visual novel is easily one of my absolute FAVOURITES!!! I haven't even finished any of the endings yet, but I love it!! I was pretty reluctant to play it at the start, but I am SO GLAD I kept playing! I LOVE IT!!!!
I'm not gonna lie, this is easily one of the best VN games ever. As in EVER. seriously, I even prefer it to big name games like Amnesia and Hakuoki. Really, it's THAT good!
I've literally just finished the game, and I have to say, I was absolutely mindblown.
I'm normally not a frequent otome game-player, but seriously, this is making me reconsider. I've fallen in love with every single character and their plot lines, just seriously, wow. I'm high-key obsessed and I can't stop playing it even after finishing it. I wouldn't stop until I got all the achievements, and now all I want to do is get a sequel, like, seriously. This is such good content!! I'm so glad that this game is free to play, otherwise I would've missed out.
Oh my! The story sure is picking up. Rod hates us!! </3
This game is pretty much everything I wish in an otome.
It has a main character that isn't necessarily an action girl, but still far from the helpless blank-slate maidens you'd normally see in this genre. Lucette is a breath of fresh air in the midst of otome heroines with little to no personality or personal goals.
It has a GREAT supporting cast, which consists of several lovely ladies that have huge roles in the story.
Each love interest has a different storyline, and thanks to the protagonist having a backstory and personality, each of them has at least one thing the protagonist can relate to.
The artwork is beautiful. All the love interests are incredibly attractive. My only complaint is that some of the proportions seem off, but the coloring pretty much covers that.
The music is also delightful and well-suited to the story. The PV song is also quite pleasant and even managed to get stuck in my head for quite some time.
This is really high quality free stuff. I can't recommend it enough.
