Cinderella Phenomenon

Hi there!

Thank you very much for making this game! I have played a lot of otome games. And yet you give me the most satisfying feeling that I had for the long time after I finished Waltz good ending. I know that there is a lot of good otome games but this is the best one I ever played.. This is like the feeling when the first time I played otome games and you able to give me that satisfying feeling again..

Oh god... This feels so nostalgic..

I love your game so much that I accomplished the game for 3 days.. I wonder that you give some secret scene in this game. I even tried hard to click randomly in the main menu to find something that you hide in it.

Anyway, I am really glad that I played this game. I hope that you guys make some wonderful games in the future. ~\(≧▽≦)/~

I love the piano during Klaude's (i assume everyones?) ending..

Oh wow... This game was such a masterpiece <3

Character design and development was on point. The plot itself was also very original. The art was nice, and the music fit perfectly with each situation. The opening at the beginning of the game made it seem even more professional!

I played each route in the order of your recommended order, and it worked out quite well! And, in each route, I fell in love with the characters again and again. So far I've only played through the good endings of each bachelor (I got too attached to them) but I'll play through the bad endings once I stop being such a wimp lol.

Throughout the game many things happened to me emotionally. I laughed, I cried, I squealed like some crazy fangirl. What stayed the same though, was my interest. Usually, when I finish a route of an otome game, my excitement goes down a bit for some reason. That never happened with this game. Each character was written and fleshed out so well that I truly felt a connection with them. This also goes for Lucette and the various side characters.

Even though this is fictional, you've really made them seem like they could somehow come to life. Sure, there were witches, fairies, and all sorts of magical things, but the stories behind every character felt so...real. Personally, I felt that Lucette's initial feelings towards other people and her strained family relationship could be relatable to many people.

All in all, this game was beyond amazing. To anyone else reading this, you should really give this game a try! Your life isn't complete without it.

Hi guys.

So I'll try to keep my comment short, because everything has already been said but I do say try for a reason, since your game is amazing and I can't stop thinking abou this!

So first, I got to congratulate you guys for simply ... Having a really catchy story, design and story-teasing. It's been such a long time since the last time I actually check an otome game for its story rather for an original gameplaying, yet despite having a very basic nonetheless efficient gameplay ... The story you seem to wanted to tell just seems to good for me to keep on scrowling down without downloading it.

And boy those 1Go of downloading were just worthy of every second!

Just, to think that a free game would be that good absolutely blow my mind and put in such awe, you guys are wonderfull. Through the whole story, everyline, piece of dialogue, backgrounds, character design, spirits and so on (except the music but it was free and it was off for a bit, so it's not that much of a damage), just all of this were perfect and I wonder how I could not bring myself to cry some scenes.

Most of all, I have to congratulate you on Lucette or whatever character because this is good character immersion. Lucette, from an outsider eye would be a such a pestt, yet you made her likeable to the player, and make us root for her, and defend the cruelness that she was victim off despite her wrongs. I would have never though for a second I would feel so betrayed and angry at the whole world just from playing a character with those priorly said feeling, however you manage to create this feeling. I feel betrayed, angry, bitter, confuse and desesperate with the character, and this through all of the routes (except with Rod one because... Well I didn't like him as a character and even less as a love interest, also he was fifteen ... Fifteen. I'm the same age as Lucette yet I couldn't bring myself to not thinking this is way too young and why nobody is reacting to the fact that this a fifteen years old you fucking sold his life! all the other guys were perfect tho... Even Varg was better.) Talking about the boys they were just ... just so good to my dear Lucette. Just so supportive, especially Waltz who by the way totally deserve to be the only one with her during the opening lmao - btw, every time I open the game and see the opening I was like "hm, I wonder which routes will be the one the true ending ... Really, I'm very curious", ironically so of course but the route was really the most well worked, one to keep for the very end. And if I had to attribute the worst route from a narrative perceptive, I would said Fritz, for me this one was a mess for the first part, for it was trying to get all of the plots elements like did the other route, with the right character and an establish dynamic but where the other route it was very calm and structure, this one was just a tornado of informations where neither the characters or the player could take a break and actually proceed what has just been thrown at their faces. And thank god you keep this story locked, otherwise, if hadn't played the other routes, this would have been hell. Plain and simple. Althought, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Fritz story, emotionnaly speaking this route delivers a lot, and the bad ending for this one was my absolute favorite. The angst was just there and even though the deaths seem a little over the top [Lucettte ... girl ... Marry Karma. Nobody dies in this one and you also get a good royal wedding. And you will need allies girl], we just feel those characters you know, we feel invested as a player and that why this route is amazing.

I also have the send my regards to the artist and the marvelous work they did, the character are just gorgeous and Lucette especially because omg ... This character ... Can turn her face to the side omg. Truly, a revolution in otome game and I'm not even kidding, just this little detail made the characters seems more ... 3 dimensionnal.

And I just realise I couldn't keep my words to keep it short, so I'm going to not said my every thoughs on every aspects of the game - althought what there is to say despite "this is great, keep doing you, you are magnificent, i love you" - so ... Do you speak french ? Because ... So many french puns, espacially with the name like ... Parfait real name is Fait .... And she is a fairy ... And Chevalier who keep on repeating that he is not an actual knight ... I shouldn't laugh since it's so fucking cheesy but good I did and it's glorious. (btw I apologize if some of my sentences seems nonsensical, English is not my first language). Anyway, this is the kind of cheesy details who make me love you guys and gosh, this game was so full of love and passion. Keep doing you.

I wish you the very best.

Peace!

P.S: Also, just the moment when Rod admit not liking Lucette on the first chapter, I wished for the option "I don't wanna lose my pride but i'mma fuck me up a bitch". I often quoted Beyoncé, ... Never though I would do it for an otome ... Keep doing your wonder guys, you are great!

((oh man i rarely more like never leave comments on the pages of the visual novels i play but welp))

i just gotta say that i love y'all so much. i love your game in all its heartbreaking glory. ;~; all of the characters and routes and their endings are beautiful (even the bad ones, and trust me, i've done all 5 of them and i think my heart broke into a million pieces 5 times). how do you expect me to get over this immediately :'(

i'd love to support you more through tipping (and buying the fandisk in the future ahhhh) but being a broke college student sucks big time i hate it :(( for now, i'll settle with sharing this game and sending y'all love through teh internetz~ ^-^ until your next game <3

I made all the routes in 2 days (I'm the kind of person who becames obsessed with any game until I finish it xD). I definitely loved Waltz route (it was maddening doing in the order suggested, because I wanted him since the beginning xD) the best for me, and Karma and Fritz were so lovely too <3 All the script is amazing! The fantasy part and the romance part, so well written and intertwined! All the characters, so real! I just didn't did the bad endings yet because... Well, I really hate bad endings. I don't want to see them sad T_T

You destroyed me a lot of times with the deaths, but I really, really loved all the game! The way the Fairytales were twisted in each curse was amazing! If there was a way for me to donate, I would - living in Brazil, I really don't know if there is a way, at least for now :( I don't know how the itch system for donnation works, what supports, and I'm really paranoid with internet + money n.n'

I hope for more games like this <3

made the account here just for the sake of leaving that comment, honestly.

past few weeks I'm absolutely broke so this game being free absolutely saved my life from boredom and work-related sadness. I will DEFINITELY donate something as soon as I'm back on my feet.

I adore everything about this game. one thing I have to say, though -- I would sell my effing soul for routes with the ladies. seriously. let me smooch delora or annice plz.

GIVE VARG A CHANCE! GIIIIIVVVVEEEEEEEIIHHHHH *screeches abnormally*

This otome got me good.

I wasn't expecting to having my emotions affected by the characters in the game especially the side characters because of some CERTAIN events. It was the first time I cried playing a visual novel during delora's scene. She was the closest thing Lucett have as a mother figure, both stern and caring in her own way. Her snide remarks, witty comebacks and her showing affection in her own way made me grown fond of her character.

Varg's ending made me wished he had his own route just to see his redemption arc. Speaking of endings, nothing could have me made prepared for Karma's bad ending (i took his route before rod's and the first ending i got) IT TUGGED MY HEARTSTRINGS IN THE MOST ANGST WAY FFFUUUUU-

After that happening, I happen to take the routes by the recommended order which paved way to getting to familliar with each characters especially in the Marchen. Along the cementing the plot in steady, solid phase. Great job for creating everyone a backstory on how they ended up in Marchen not abandoning their role and have them just 'be there'. Plus showing the interactions between them is very uplifting and just pure feel-good (especially rumpel's firs time in Marchen and the matchmaking scene)

Being that side, a plot based on fairytale which had it's own twist that kept me on toes in a way I did not mind completing all the routes and I think I've made the right choice.

5/5 on original and solid pilot, apparent character development, wonderful graphics, fitting music background. I think I'm hooked on the opening song!

Thank you for making such an enjoyable game, Dicesuki.

Hi there! I just finished playing the game to near completion (I've reached all endings and gotten all the achievements; I'm just missing one stubborn CG from Waltz's route), and I really enjoyed this game. I don't always like to be a completionist with visual novels but this one gave me good reason to, especially if I wanted to know the whole truth about everyone's situation. The level of polish for this game is fantastic. I love the graphic design and the GUI is easy to use, though I guess that's in part because I'm used to visual novels. Most of the sound effects are really appropriate and I always appreciate the extra effort put into a game's sound design. The music for this game was A++ and I know I'm going to keep opening the game just to listen to the music for the rest of this week.

The background art is gorgeous in colour, detail and perspective. These are some of if not the best background layouts I have ever seen in a VN and they really sold me on the game's setting.

Also, I know this is a small thing, but I also want to mention how much I appreciate the sprites changing to match colour and tone with the time of day. I always swore to myself that if I were ever involved with a VN's development I'd help make the sprites change like that. Maybe it's something common in VN's now, but I love the game so much more for that!

The sprites themselves are also really appealing. Over all, the artwork for this game is great and I appreciate the character designs that seem to suit the characters so well (even if the diamond motifs on some characters makes it obvious who they are, I think it ties together well that way). I have to admit I don't like the CGs as much. The anatomy is pretty awkward most of the time, with the characters often squished in the frame, sacrificing good gestural pose and composition for the sake of having the CG in a close up or medium close up shot. I don't think it's awful, though. The artist will definitely get better with practice, and I look forward to seeing them making even better artwork in the future. On a side note, I wish the credits were more easily accessible than just seeing them at the end of a playthrough (though I might not be looking hard enough).

I don't know if there's much value in me talking about the character routes since my experience with them all was very subjective. I would like to say though that Delora is one of my favourite characters - I probably have a small crush on her! I also adore the main character. I'm biased towards personalities like that though. That being said, I'm so glad she is not a doormat character (although that's something I see more often in commercial JP releases than I do in English indie/commercial releases). Rumpel really isn't the type of character I go for but it was still a decent playthrough with some nice scenes in it. If anything, the route I feel most conflicted about is Ritz... Going into [spoilers] here, I feel like that I just didn't get to spend much time with him and that his personal issues are never truly resolved. That makes me feel like even though the MC loved him she never truly understood him or what he was going through before or during the curse. I don't feel like I got to know him better the way I did with everyone else.[/end spoiler] Waltz was definitely my favourite - I have a bias toward his character design but he really became my favourite route once I played through it. It feels like he was definitely meant to be the true route, especially because of how much information the MC knows by the ends of the other routes. In a way, it's a little unfortunate that certain things aren't resolved the way one would like, but I understand that's the point of the game to not have a fairytale ending. I think it's pretty fair.

I had a wonderful time playing this game and was engrossed in it. The Dicesuki team and all the backers of this game have my heartfelt thanks. I look forward to the FD!

P.S. I just realized Dicesuki also did Locked Heart, the last VN I played before Cinderella Phenomenon that I really enjoyed (and also played to completion). I knew some of the artwork seemed familiar!

Absolutely lovely game! I'm so thrilled I was able to play and complete it. When I first saw the game and its synopsis/characters, I really thought I would only like Fritz and Waltz, as the other characters and their curses didn't appeal to me as much (I have a thing for knights/protectors and nice guys). I was very pleasantly surprised by the first route I played, which was Rod's. Then I progressed with your recommended route order and I think I can say my favorites are as follows:

Waltz >>> Karma > Fritz > Rod > Rumpel

So overall Waltz is bae and Waltz is life through and through (omg he's just so precious I could go on and on all day about him. I love everything about this man, so help me gods if I cannot marry him). I LOVED Karma's route even though he didn't appeal to me at all originally, everything about his route just fell into place perfectly and I loved every single second of it, especially the subplot! I cried my way through Fritz's route. I thought it was fantastically done, yet the thing keeping it from above Karma's was that I felt the romance was a bit rushed. I'm definitely hoping to see it more fleshed out in the fandisk! Rod's route was the perfect one to play as an introduction to the game and I enjoyed seeing Lucette interact with her family a lot. (And Rod's such a tsundere I just want to snuggle him)I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy Rumpel's route. I quite liked it and the plot sucked me in, but he was probably my least favorite LI. I guess he just paled in comparison to my love for the others, ahaha, but he is definitely special in his own way!

I just wanted to thank the Dicesuki team once more for making such an amazing game. The world-building you all did was wonderful and had me on the edge of my seat, something I can't say for most other OELVNs I've played. I just want to shower you all with praise and I'm sorry for my jumbled thoughts and the long comment aaah. I can't wait for the fandisk and your new commercial games so I can fling more of my money and praise at you guys! <3

i need a walkthrough that has all answers to the good endings i keep getting the bad endings no matter how many times i try. please please

Really enjoyed this game! You guys did a great job on character and story creation. I especially liked how the details of the story changed for each route, which meant that going through the story again didn't become tiresome! I also liked that the MC wasn't a "good" girl - that was refreshing! It was lovely to see how she changed, although I will admit some of the pairings seemed a little unrealistic at the beginning due to it! ;P Great job on the art - the backgrounds were amazingly detailed! Also really enjoyed the facial expressions. I look forward to your future projects!

I was so hype for this after the demo, so when I remembered what day it was released to the public and realized that had passed, I flipped out and immediately downloaded it on Steam.

100% later, I have many emotions and I just want to thank you guys for this amazing experience. I absolutely loved this game. Everything about it was just so incredibly lovely. The music, the writing, the art, all fabulous :) I love this world you've built!

I look forward to your future endeavors! I missed the wagon on this kickstarter, but should the opportunity arise again I will definitely support!

Ah! Why am I so late for the full version? Oh yeah, school. Hope ya had fun making it.

JW is the attitude of the MC customizable?

This is a very well made game, and story. Art is also magnificent. I'm very

very impressed

I liked the "magic" theme quite a lot though. The one that plays when Delora curses princess, and it plays when there's a memory of princess and her mother. sometimes I just start up the game and let it run with the song. Any way I can find the actual thing? Music box is great. On a side note I quite liked Eme's character. She's so lovely I'd have her as a sister!

I'd comment more...but I haven't finished it yet lol! Thanks for the marvelous artpiece.

Wow, just wow. Took me the entire day to get through all the routes (good and bad) and can I just say I am astounded by the level of characterisation and the storyline that accompanied each route. I seriously can't believe this game is free! This game is seriously impressive dicesuki - you have a lot to be proud over :)

...I also have a giant crush on karma now

By the way, is there an official walkthrough for this?

SO I THOUGHT I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING TODAY

I LOOKED AT THE DATE 4/5/2017 AND SCREAMED

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I CLICKED THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON

Second comment of mine, but I have to say.. Just finished my first route and I really enjoyed it. By the time I finish the game, I think I'll be able to say this is one of my favorite otomes. Thanks so much for the work you put into this- to provide this for free is so generous. I'm really looking forward to your future works!
By the way, is there any way I can transfer my data to the Steam version? I'm planning to install it today.

I'm so excited to play this game! I absolutely loved Locked Heart. Thank you Dicesuki Team for making such beautiful games ;w; ~

It took me a day and a half to complete the game and get all the good endings and this game is amazing, I loved the way the story was told, it was worth all of your efforts and I'm honoured that it is free, I can honestly say it's my favourite otome ever, and I would love to pay for the games you'll be making next. This story had a wonderful moral too, honestly I really fell in love with the game.

Hi! This game looks amazing but I can't seem to download it.Can you put up this game in steam too.

Hi! Thanks for making this Amazing game~❤ I never expected so long for a visual novel to be released, I'm so excited!! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Okay, questions... when would a walk through come out or will there ever be an official one? Also, what does the good choice indicator look like?

I really love this game, but I am completely stuck on the bad endings. To make matters worse, I can't figure out how the 'right choice' indicater works.

So yeah, I am stuck x3 But great game, I am in love with it.

Thank you for making this amazing game!!

Hi~ I was just wondering when it will come out on Steam and if there are going to be any achievements on Steam as well?
