The game was amazingly well made. I liked the fact that Lucette wasn't the typical protagonist. She was mean and cold and at first, you kinda dislike her but as the story goes on, you learn why she is like that and actually start to sympathize with her.
All of the characters were well written and likable, which isn't something that is always easy to do so congratulation on that. The story just draws you in, helped of course with the amazing backgrounds and character design.
Honestly, one of the best visual novels I've played and I could not have asked for more. Can't wait to see what you will create next!
Such a wonderful visual novel! I'm having a blast and I haven't even gotten that far into it yet. It's such an incredible use of fairy tales. I think that's my favorite thing about it, the premise you've woven around it. There's a lot of setup for well-paced, robust character development here and the story hits all the marks to be expected without depending too much on overused tropes.
The artwork is great and everything gels together well in the world you're building instead of the locations and attire being eccentric and all over the place "just because". The writing reveals a lot about each character without being too heavy handed and I think you guys chose the right background music for each shift in tone.
I don't really have anything negative to say about it. Of all the serious visual novels I play, this is definitely one of the better ones. Also, kudos on the original theme and for taking the time to make it! Not a lot of people take the time to make an intro like that for their visual novels. I'm looking forward to finishing this out. Good luck with this and with your future projects!
This is one of the most phenomenal visual novels I've had the pleasure of experiencing. The plot is complex and not straight forward, and it changes depending on the route you take. Although very strong warning to future players. This game tugs at your heartstrings hard. There's a particular order I recommend playing the routes in.
Rod
Karma
Rumpel
Fritz
Waltz
Whatever you do, DO NOT PLAY WALTZ UNTIL YOU'VE COMPLETED THE OTHER ROUTES. I made that mistake and I strongly regret it.
Thank you so very much for creating this game. Tha art is totally amaing and the story is interesting) There are so much good comments here, so I will not say anything new about how good this game are. But I really want to thank you for making this game free. In my country there is oten issues with online abroad payments so I'm usually stuck with non-comercial games. And I could not believe that your game is sooo good AND free. Really, thank you so very much for it!) You are amazing!
I am just wondering if there will be a continue of this game or like extra stories about the princess and like any of the guys. i do love them all but i do keep playing the route with rod, i would really like to see how they are all getting on after everything that happened. it really is such a fun game to play
I just finished the whole game, I love it so much I had to create an account just to tell you this! Thank you so much for bringing this game to us, and thank you for putting in so much effort to make this experience so amazing. The thing I love the most about this game (aside from the beautiful graphics - backgrounds are especially amazing - and soundtracks) is how the characters are written, every one of them is so distinct from each other, plus they all have their own personal flaws and things they need to overcome which makes them so much more relatable as humans. So thank you again, Dicesuki, really glad I found this game.
You open the folder, double click application, extract all files, and then once it's done, double click the application which should have the glass slipper icon and play :)
превосходная игра спасибо за это разработчикам больше понравилось окончание Вальца мне кажется оно более законченное и даёт больше надежд на их дальнейшие романтические отношения . Жалко что она на английском и не на русском приходится играть через переводчик хотя перевод искажён но понять смысл можно . Надеюсь в дальнейшем на появление таких же потрясающих новелл . Желаю вам хороших творческих успехов.
The plot is amazing, I usually never comment on any game's page but I had to with this one! I love this game so much, it's very exciting and fun, I love the story and the characters, graphics and such :) thank you so much for making this free and making this amazing game !<3
Everyone has already said what I like most about the writing of this game, so please do me a favor and pass my appreciation along to whoever composed the music! Great writing and great art don't become great visual novels until great music is added too. So...great! lolol
I have played so many games in the past, and every once in a while, I find myself a gem that I spend days completing and replaying. I am so happy to say that this game is one of them. I love CP so much.
I can't tire of it.
The characters all feel very real, and deep. They're beautiful.
The story is new and refreshing. The plot twists kill me.
The art is beautiful. The little details in the characters' designs make them feel really alive. In their expressions and what not.
So.
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH.
THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL GORGEOUS AND THE ROUTES ARE ALL SO INTERESTING AND THE GAME IS SO MUCH FUN.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK!
Thanks for making this game!
I hope we'll see more of your work, and good luck IRL and on whatever projects you have currently!
To be quiet honest, there is no word to describe how wonderful this game is ! The disign is beautiful, the story well made and interresting, and the music is exeptionel !
Truly, the music is very good and really put you in the mood of the game (sorry for my english...), it's a very pretty music and isn't repetitive,and the changement of the ùusic matched perfectly the change in the ambiance. In short, it was perfect !
The design is absolutly marvelous, from the background to the characters design, the baground are very pretty and really put you into the story and each characters have a design that match theirs personality whitch is very well done !
And the story is very original especialy considering that the theme (fairytales) is very common, so it wasn't easy to do something not already done, plus the heroin personality is for once very original and her backstory well written, I liked that she wasn't the typical heroine that we often see in otome games, here she has a real personality (real flaws and she's human and not perfect for once...)
Plus the romance is well developped throughout the story.
So in conclusion, congratulation to the developpers ! I really hope you will succed because you have a lot of potentiel ^^
There's no adequate measure that can determine how much i'm grateful to you for this amazing game.
(pardon my English)
I'm usually very cranky about judging such kind of games, but Cinderella was the first to actually fulfill everything I usually expect from a game and it didn't disappoint me anyhow even after I finished it!
Graphics (sprites, CGs) is not superior, but it's unique (for me) and very plausible to the eye. Backgrounds sets the mood, music suits perfectly to every situation it follows. And the main part: THE PLOT.
OH, HOW MUCH I WAS WAITING TO AN ACTUAL DECENT PLOT AND CHARACTERS, OH, MAYBE FOR CENTURIES. And that's why I'm grateful to you.
It's been a long time since I was enough emotionally engaged in current story to actually feel sympathy and worry for their destinies.
Main heroine isn't stupid and has a solid personality, believable one, what I've never seen in games of the same kind. She even changes drastically as the story progresses, which is unique nowadays.
Boyz also aren't pretty dolls, I can believe in their reasons to do or say certain things. Dialogs and plot are solid and never disturbing.
I can talk a lot about these masterpiece, yeah. I may be blind to some obvious flaws of the game, but the problem is I DON'T CARE. I DON'T WANT TO SEARCH FOR THE FLAWS BECAUSE I'M ENGAGED TO THE STORY. I usually try to find every possible inconsistency because I don't care for characters, i don't believe them, i'm irritated by their words, actions, presence. But money has been paid and I don't gain my entertainment from the game itself. That's where I need to start entertaining part myself. AND THERE'S NOTHING MORE SATISFYING AS LAUGHING AT THOSE LITTLE DOLLS, THERE DEAR PATHETIC PROBLEMS, VALUES, EVERY RIDICULOUS EXCUSE AND EVENT WHICH IS PUT TO MOVE THE PLOT, I SWEAR.
But that's not what I paid for. It frustrates me more than makes happy. And for Cinderella, until I passed the whole game, I didn't pay a penny. And I gained more than I ever expected from the otome and the free-to-play game combined. Again, I may be blind to some unforgivable mistakes, but I gained everything I ever wanted from this. Entertainment. Fun. Emotions. Engagement.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you, Dicesuki, not giving up on developing such content, succeeding your goals and be paid for your undoubtfully hard work. I'll support you in every possible way i can find. Thank you for the story I can enjoy and love.
(Also I enjoyed Rod's route the most :)
My luv to little boyz, especially with solid personality, is botomless)
Will you be fixing the android version of CP? I can't play games on my computer and I was so excited to see this game to be available on Android. My friend has showed me the game and I really wanna play this! Please fix the issues for the Android version soon, I'll be waiting patiently along with my friends.
Hello there! We're not the ones responsible for the android port so unfortunately, we can only wait for the publisher to fix it. They are already aware of the issues so hopefully it will be fixed soon. :)
hello i just wanted to say that i simply ADORE this game and i promise i will write a full review once i finish it [i have one more route left] but i just wanted to share with everyone how amazing it is to play the game in the order that the creators listed above. trust me, i played it that way and the suspense never fails. the story only gets better as you get closer to finishing the game.
tl;dr PLAY IT IN THE ORDER LISTED ABOVE. ROD, KARMA, RUMPEL, FRITZ, WALTZ.
Absolutely wonderful game, with great dialogue/plot points and beautiful art. Karma's was my absolute favorite route, but Waltz's was a very close second! The Rod line was a little odd, with him being her step-brother and all... but hey, to each their own. Totally worth the time to play and 10/10 for playing it again!
I was scrolling through the comments before playing this game to see the reviews and didn't understand this, but now that I've played it, I'm laughing too hard.
Thank you so much for making this game! Fritz's route is heartbreaking, and was really thought provoking while Waltz was the best looking, and his route generated the most tears (Kudos by the way)
Fritz and Varg all the way though <3
I liked that it wasn't always clear cut as to which good deed it was that triggered the extra piece to appear, and to have Lucette question the motives of everybody is excellent- it's just the other side of the coin.
The soundtrack was great as well! I loved 'Piano' and 'Calm' piano pieces. is there sheet music available?
Hello. The artbook isn't available on android though. The game is out on Android but there are display problems at the moment so we suggest playing it on the PC instead.
I actually got the artbook (which is beautiful by the way) on my phone (Android) I just downloaded it after donating. So it is possible. Thanks for answering~
This game is gorgeous!! I just spent the entire afternoon playing Karma's route. The sprites, the story, the characters, the music, the bg art...everything is beautiful. I was so invested in the game that i forgot how long it was, but it made me glad. I can't wait to play the other routes!!
There's not much I can say to show my appreciation for the creation of this game, thank you so much for this gem... I really loved the characters, music, story and art. You guys did an amazing job, I'm truly grateful for the time and effort spent in creating this wonderful piece of work. Thank you again, and especially so for making this free for everyone to enjoy, you're a saint/angel/fairy/good witch! :)
I just finished playing every route and I'm quite pleased with this game. I took the plot build up list as something else entirely, though. So I thought Rod was somehow more cannon than everyone else, and was super confused as I played through a couple of times. I just read it wrong. xD
Fritz's playthrough had me super stressed, I probably enjoyed his route the most, because of that, but Waltz is my favorite.
Good game, art, music, and characters! I enjoyed this!
I absolutely LOVED this game! The art style is beautiful and the OST is absolutely amazing. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that Waltz and Fritz's routes were locked at first, but after playing through the other routes, I highly recommend doing Fritz and Waltz's routes last. I decided to follow the recommendation of which routes to do and it's amazing how the story unfolds when you use that order. I loved each and every one of the original characters and think that all of the fairy tale curses were well-fitted and creative. I would rate this game 10/10. Thank you Dicesuki for the amazing visual novel.
Dear Dicesuki, This game was AMAZING. I swear I cried at least once on every route, both good and bad. I loved every character, and I loved how there was a lot of character development and how in some routes we (The MC) changed more and less depending on our actions. It felt real to me, and it made each character feel much more human to me. The writing is amazing, and you get so attached to each character that you want every character to get their fairytale ending. (Except for the evil ones of course) It really made me feel like I was in a fairytale, and the thought put into every aspect of the game is unimaginable. Hands down the best visual novel I've seen in a very long time, and a visual novel of that quality, it's almost unbelievable that it's free. I was looking down at the other comments and saw that you're making a Sequel (for all routes or just waltz'?) and I'm looking forward to it.
so like i just made an account to talk about this visual novel.
first of all, i'm not even done with my first route (which is Karma's) and i am already in love. this is absolutely amazing, an easy 5/5 stars from me. from the music to the art, its nearly flawless. not to mention the story line, it definitely isn't one of your cheesy, cliche romance. i am loving the character development so far. honestly, as someone who likes such games, this has got to be one of the best out there. words can't truly express my feelings. i shall get back to playing Karma's route now ;)
This game is amazing! I played all the routes and I love all of them. Fritz and Waltz are my favorites, maybe because they are both in a way loyal to a fault. I love how each character has their own problems and how the storyline for each route is slightly different. I was surprised by Rumpel, he ended up being more romantic than I thought he was going to be. I liked how independent she got on Karma's route, with insisting to being able to fight and all that. Rod was great too, I really liked his personality and their interactions it just felt wierd because they were step siblings. The bad ends were heartbreaking and the good ends were happy but bittersweet when some of their friends died. The game was beautiful and creative all around. Overall, a great game, keep up the amazing work!
Okay, so I play a lot of VNs (I admit it, I'm addicted). But this one far surpassed most, if not all, of them.
For one, all of the characters are so well-rounded. I started out hating Lucette, but I grew to like her more and more as she grew as a person. All the love interests, too, were multi-faceted characters with their own stories, desires, and flaws, not just people for the MC to fall in love with. I even found myself rooting for and wanting to know more about the side characters, like Annice, Jurien and Garlan.
Two, the artwork was spectacular! I cannot believe there were so many CGs for every route — but hey, I'm not complaining. XD The backgrounds were incredibly detailed and really added to the overall impression of this game, and it was so easy to see the emotions through every character's face and body language.
Three, the action was so gripping. I found myself sobbing a lot, and not just at the bad ends. Fritz's good end, especially, made me tear up because it was so bittersweet. I loved how every character had their own complex, personalized storyline, and not just a side romance.
Four, I loved how these weren't shallow love stories — instead, every route and character explored a different idea. For instance, it's pretty obvious that Lucette's own character development is based on the idea of goodness. But there's also Karma's route, which juxtaposes beauty and ugliness, and Fritz's route, where we see the darkness inside every person. It's rare to find a game with such strong messages that forces me to think.
All in all, this VN made me root for the characters, swept me up in a fantasy world, tugged at my heartstrings, and made me think about human nature in a different way. Thank you for this amazing game!
Thank you so much for making this game! I originally downloaded this game for free, but when I played it (and by the time I finished playing it), I was so in love with it and so grateful for it that I came back to give whatever small contribution I could give.
The characters are all extremely loveable, though Waltz is by far my favourite and Rumpel less so. Would it be weird to say that I kind of liked Waltz more in his boy form, and that I wished Varg had more of a future (he can't help his circumstances but still loves the MC all the same, so he basically kills himself to give her happiness — how sad is that?!)?
I really appreciate all the effort that you put into the game by giving each character a different storyline. Otomes usually just alter the ending a little bit to adjust for the player's choice, but you went all out and gave us 5 different but equally marvelous and touching stories, and for that, I thank you.
Sometimes the CGs' proportions were a bit off, and sometimes I wished that the CGs concentrated on the face of the guy instead of on the MC, but the art was beautiful all the same.
All in all, great game! I'll have a hard time finding a VN to equal this, where all the characters are real and their character developments are gripping. I'm so glad I decided to download this game on a boring day. :)
Dicesuki... Daisuki...! <3 Congratulations on your success on the game! The writer is a genius! I love games with great stories, not just pleasing to the eyes and ears, but leaves a big impact enough to remember for a long time...! I love it! If ever you continue your work, I look forward to more of your games in the future.
i wonder if can like have a percentage of at least 70% right answers to get to good end, if not everyone need to refer to walkthrough for it. as i noticed even when there were only 2 or 3 wrong answers, i still get to bad end. is good that the answers in the prologue doesnt affect the routes.
That is why we added the "right choice indicator" feature in game so everyone can easily obtain the good ends. Also, you are allowed 2 wrong answers. :D
Mkay so I have not yet finished all the routes but I'm posting a comment anyways because I AM HAVING FEELINGS SO
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
Like a few people have said this game wasn't big on my radar, although I have been keeping an eye out for it. Now that it's actually out I'm blown away. The characters are so enjoyable and heartfelt, the drama is nearly impeccable, and the story is engaging and beautifully illustrated. I've fallen in love with the romancable characters in a way that only the best VNs can provide.
So far I've played through Rod, Karma, Rumple, and am almost done doing Fritz. The routes have been wonderful for the most part, but I do have some complaints. (HERE COME THE SPOILERS) Some of them are personal preference (character death makes me sad and I wish certain good ends were less bittersweet) and some of them are not. I was pretty disappointed with certain story choices like having more Varg than Fritz in Fritz's route and then making the three way romance turn out as yet another love triangle instead of what would have been a very satisfying polyship. I feel as if there's a bit of an issue with this game of causing us to fall in love with characters and their stories and then not letting us see them be happy or have much presence in other routes. I get that this is typical of otome, especially with the love interests, but I at least wish we could see a little nod to our emotional investments in them paying off.
Still, as I said this is an amazing game, and I'm hardly going to stop loving it because of this. I can't wait to play more, and see what games Dicesuki will create in the future!
Hello,I am so excited to find this chance to talk with you.
I am a player from China,and i know this game from STEAM.
You know that AVGs(Adventure Games)like this game is very popular in Asian.Especially there are many famous AVGs in Japan(And some of them was adapt for anime).So I played a lot.
But actually this type of games in English are seldom to see in China.Because of they are not translated.To be honest I didn't want to play this game at first , because for myself, it is so tired to read the story with so many words in English.
But I still play it just because your game has its own glamour.I like the subject matter about princess with the background of European palace.But it is less seen because of the cuture difference.Even if we try to make a game like this,we cannot do as well as yours.
So why don't you try to have this game translated into Chinese?I am in the belief that it will be very popular in China.Not only it is different to others in the phenomenon but also the character of heroine and the absorbing story make this game become so great.What a pity that so many lovers of this type of game in China cannot know and play this game.
I am a college student now.It is a long time not to use English so my English become so poor now especially English written.....and i am shamed for that.But it is not so difficult to play this game.And i believe that my English will be much better if i study it.
And....I have not finished this game but it is so good so I want to share it with my friend.I will write more about this game when i finish that.Love it ,and thank you so much.
I will be brutually honest. I had no idea this had a kickstarter or any sort of backing and had virtually no knowledge of this game, and when I saw the title, I was like...eh...pass.
But holy god, I am so happy I picked this up and played it. I have lost sleep to play this game, smiled because of this game, and ultimately, CRIED over this game because it is so beautifully written and executed that you can't HELP but cry. (rip parfait tho i cried many tears there).
I think the thing I like most about this game is how UNIQUE each route is. In a lot of VN's, the story doesn't really change regardless of the character, and that is definetely not the case here. I played the routes in the order listed on the page and honestly it was a wild experience. I love how some parts of the story don't come to fruition until you've played others...etc,etc, the boys are all beautiful etc,etc...

P. S. But I feel so sorry for Varg :'(
I am just wondering if there will be a continue of this game or like extra stories about the princess and like any of the guys. i do love them all but i do keep playing the route with rod, i would really like to see how they are all getting on after everything that happened. it really is such a fun game to play

You open the folder, double click application, extract all files, and then once it's done, double click the application which should have the glass slipper icon and play :)
Or you can use the itch.io itch software. Download the game directly from their software and you can easily launch it from there.

Dear Dicesuki,
Will you be fixing the android version of CP? I can't play games on my computer and I was so excited to see this game to be available on Android. My friend has showed me the game and I really wanna play this! Please fix the issues for the Android version soon, I'll be waiting patiently along with my friends.
Thanks!
Hello there! We're not the ones responsible for the android port so unfortunately, we can only wait for the publisher to fix it. They are already aware of the issues so hopefully it will be fixed soon. :)
hello i just wanted to say that i simply ADORE this game and i promise i will write a full review once i finish it [i have one more route left] but i just wanted to share with everyone how amazing it is to play the game in the order that the creators listed above. trust me, i played it that way and the suspense never fails. the story only gets better as you get closer to finishing the game.
tl;dr PLAY IT IN THE ORDER LISTED ABOVE. ROD, KARMA, RUMPEL, FRITZ, WALTZ.
Absolutely wonderful game, with great dialogue/plot points and beautiful art. Karma's was my absolute favorite route, but Waltz's was a very close second! The Rod line was a little odd, with him being her step-brother and all... but hey, to each their own. Totally worth the time to play and 10/10 for playing it again!
One of The Best Cinderella Stories that I enjoyed :) I loved of the stories of the characters.
my favorites story is waltz's story
I job well done guys on this game and thank you so much
it an amazing rollercaster story to play
:) :D :)
IM SCREAMING OH MY GOD HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
lol xF
I was scrolling through the comments before playing this game to see the reviews and didn't understand this, but now that I've played it, I'm laughing too hard.
ikr :>
THAT IS SO FLIPPIN PERFECT LMAO I LOVE IT
Thanks dude XD
Thank you so much for making this game!
Fritz's route is heartbreaking, and was really thought provoking while Waltz was the best looking, and his route generated the most tears (Kudos by the way)
Fritz and Varg all the way though <3
I liked that it wasn't always clear cut as to which good deed it was that triggered the extra piece to appear, and to have Lucette question the motives of everybody is excellent- it's just the other side of the coin.
The soundtrack was great as well! I loved 'Piano' and 'Calm' piano pieces. is there sheet music available?
Much love from this player ^^
Hi! I've got a question. It says: A downloadable Visual novel for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
But I only got a download link for the artbook on Android. Is the game also available to play on that platform?
Hello. The artbook isn't available on android though. The game is out on Android but there are display problems at the moment so we suggest playing it on the PC instead.
That's weird...
I actually got the artbook (which is beautiful by the way) on my phone (Android) I just downloaded it after donating. So it is possible. Thanks for answering~
Woops sorry. You can actually download it so long as your phone can view pdfs 😅
I wish there's are more. My favourite route is Waltz. He is so cool.
Thanks for creating this game. This is the best otome game I ever play. If I could, I will play the whole game again.
This game is gorgeous!! I just spent the entire afternoon playing Karma's route. The sprites, the story, the characters, the music, the bg art...everything is beautiful. I was so invested in the game that i forgot how long it was, but it made me glad. I can't wait to play the other routes!!
There's not much I can say to show my appreciation for the creation of this game, thank you so much for this gem... I really loved the characters, music, story and art. You guys did an amazing job, I'm truly grateful for the time and effort spent in creating this wonderful piece of work. Thank you again, and especially so for making this free for everyone to enjoy, you're a saint/angel/fairy/good witch! :)
I just finished playing every route and I'm quite pleased with this game. I took the plot build up list as something else entirely, though. So I thought Rod was somehow more cannon than everyone else, and was super confused as I played through a couple of times. I just read it wrong. xD
Fritz's playthrough had me super stressed, I probably enjoyed his route the most, because of that, but Waltz is my favorite.
Good game, art, music, and characters! I enjoyed this!
I absolutely LOVED this game! The art style is beautiful and the OST is absolutely amazing. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that Waltz and Fritz's routes were locked at first, but after playing through the other routes, I highly recommend doing Fritz and Waltz's routes last. I decided to follow the recommendation of which routes to do and it's amazing how the story unfolds when you use that order. I loved each and every one of the original characters and think that all of the fairy tale curses were well-fitted and creative. I would rate this game 10/10. Thank you Dicesuki for the amazing visual novel.
Dear Dicesuki,
This game was AMAZING. I swear I cried at least once on every route, both good and bad. I loved every character, and I loved how there was a lot of character development and how in some routes we (The MC) changed more and less depending on our actions. It felt real to me, and it made each character feel much more human to me. The writing is amazing, and you get so attached to each character that you want every character to get their fairytale ending. (Except for the evil ones of course) It really made me feel like I was in a fairytale, and the thought put into every aspect of the game is unimaginable. Hands down the best visual novel I've seen in a very long time, and a visual novel of that quality, it's almost unbelievable that it's free. I was looking down at the other comments and saw that you're making a Sequel (for all routes or just waltz'?) and I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you so much for this amazing game!
so like i just made an account to talk about this visual novel.
first of all, i'm not even done with my first route (which is Karma's) and i am already in love. this is absolutely amazing, an easy 5/5 stars from me. from the music to the art, its nearly flawless. not to mention the story line, it definitely isn't one of your cheesy, cliche romance. i am loving the character development so far. honestly, as someone who likes such games, this has got to be one of the best out there. words can't truly express my feelings. i shall get back to playing Karma's route now ;)
OKAY I JUST MADE AN ACCOUNT TO SAY THIS
FUCK
ME
UP
I SCREAMED THE ENTIRE TIME PLAYING THE GAME
I usually don't enjoy vn's where I can't really 'play' and read all the time
By my lordy.. something bout Rod made me wanna read.
Everything was fantastic... (I just wish Rod wasn't a stepbrother.../ happier ending)
-chronic otome/vn player
This game is amazing! I played all the routes and I love all of them. Fritz and Waltz are my favorites, maybe because they are both in a way loyal to a fault. I love how each character has their own problems and how the storyline for each route is slightly different. I was surprised by Rumpel, he ended up being more romantic than I thought he was going to be. I liked how independent she got on Karma's route, with insisting to being able to fight and all that. Rod was great too, I really liked his personality and their interactions it just felt wierd because they were step siblings. The bad ends were heartbreaking and the good ends were happy but bittersweet when some of their friends died. The game was beautiful and creative all around. Overall, a great game, keep up the amazing work!
Wow. Where to start talking about this game?
Okay, so I play a lot of VNs (I admit it, I'm addicted). But this one far surpassed most, if not all, of them.
For one, all of the characters are so well-rounded. I started out hating Lucette, but I grew to like her more and more as she grew as a person. All the love interests, too, were multi-faceted characters with their own stories, desires, and flaws, not just people for the MC to fall in love with. I even found myself rooting for and wanting to know more about the side characters, like Annice, Jurien and Garlan.
Two, the artwork was spectacular! I cannot believe there were so many CGs for every route — but hey, I'm not complaining. XD The backgrounds were incredibly detailed and really added to the overall impression of this game, and it was so easy to see the emotions through every character's face and body language.
Three, the action was so gripping. I found myself sobbing a lot, and not just at the bad ends. Fritz's good end, especially, made me tear up because it was so bittersweet. I loved how every character had their own complex, personalized storyline, and not just a side romance.
Four, I loved how these weren't shallow love stories — instead, every route and character explored a different idea. For instance, it's pretty obvious that Lucette's own character development is based on the idea of goodness. But there's also Karma's route, which juxtaposes beauty and ugliness, and Fritz's route, where we see the darkness inside every person. It's rare to find a game with such strong messages that forces me to think.
All in all, this VN made me root for the characters, swept me up in a fantasy world, tugged at my heartstrings, and made me think about human nature in a different way. Thank you for this amazing game!
Dear Dicesuki,
Thank you so much for making this game! I originally downloaded this game for free, but when I played it (and by the time I finished playing it), I was so in love with it and so grateful for it that I came back to give whatever small contribution I could give.
The characters are all extremely loveable, though Waltz is by far my favourite and Rumpel less so. Would it be weird to say that I kind of liked Waltz more in his boy form, and that I wished Varg had more of a future (he can't help his circumstances but still loves the MC all the same, so he basically kills himself to give her happiness — how sad is that?!)?
I really appreciate all the effort that you put into the game by giving each character a different storyline. Otomes usually just alter the ending a little bit to adjust for the player's choice, but you went all out and gave us 5 different but equally marvelous and touching stories, and for that, I thank you.
Sometimes the CGs' proportions were a bit off, and sometimes I wished that the CGs concentrated on the face of the guy instead of on the MC, but the art was beautiful all the same.
All in all, great game! I'll have a hard time finding a VN to equal this, where all the characters are real and their character developments are gripping. I'm so glad I decided to download this game on a boring day. :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Dicesuki... Daisuki...! <3 Congratulations on your success on the game! The writer is a genius! I love games with great stories, not just pleasing to the eyes and ears, but leaves a big impact enough to remember for a long time...! I love it! If ever you continue your work, I look forward to more of your games in the future.
Much love. xx
-from your loving fan
Thank you so much for the kind words! We're happy that you enjoyed the game. Please look forward for our future games :)
>SPOILER< Will there be a sequel? Because at the end of Waltz' route it was all like "Well what about After Happily Ever After?" WILL THEEEERE???
Yes, and that is the teaser. ;)
will you have to pay for it?
Yes
i wonder if can like have a percentage of at least 70% right answers to get to good end, if not everyone need to refer to walkthrough for it. as i noticed even when there were only 2 or 3 wrong answers, i still get to bad end. is good that the answers in the prologue doesnt affect the routes.
That is why we added the "right choice indicator" feature in game so everyone can easily obtain the good ends. Also, you are allowed 2 wrong answers. :D
Mkay so I have not yet finished all the routes but I'm posting a comment anyways because I AM HAVING FEELINGS SO
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
Like a few people have said this game wasn't big on my radar, although I have been keeping an eye out for it. Now that it's actually out I'm blown away. The characters are so enjoyable and heartfelt, the drama is nearly impeccable, and the story is engaging and beautifully illustrated. I've fallen in love with the romancable characters in a way that only the best VNs can provide.
So far I've played through Rod, Karma, Rumple, and am almost done doing Fritz. The routes have been wonderful for the most part, but I do have some complaints. (HERE COME THE SPOILERS) Some of them are personal preference (character death makes me sad and I wish certain good ends were less bittersweet) and some of them are not. I was pretty disappointed with certain story choices like having more Varg than Fritz in Fritz's route and then making the three way romance turn out as yet another love triangle instead of what would have been a very satisfying polyship. I feel as if there's a bit of an issue with this game of causing us to fall in love with characters and their stories and then not letting us see them be happy or have much presence in other routes. I get that this is typical of otome, especially with the love interests, but I at least wish we could see a little nod to our emotional investments in them paying off.
Still, as I said this is an amazing game, and I'm hardly going to stop loving it because of this. I can't wait to play more, and see what games Dicesuki will create in the future!
Hello,I am so excited to find this chance to talk with you.
I am a player from China,and i know this game from STEAM.
You know that AVGs(Adventure Games)like this game is very popular in Asian.Especially there are many famous AVGs in Japan(And some of them was adapt for anime).So I played a lot.
But actually this type of games in English are seldom to see in China.Because of they are not translated.To be honest I didn't want to play this game at first , because for myself, it is so tired to read the story with so many words in English.
But I still play it just because your game has its own glamour.I like the subject matter about princess with the background of European palace.But it is less seen because of the cuture difference.Even if we try to make a game like this,we cannot do as well as yours.
So why don't you try to have this game translated into Chinese?I am in the belief that it will be very popular in China.Not only it is different to others in the phenomenon but also the character of heroine and the absorbing story make this game become so great.What a pity that so many lovers of this type of game in China cannot know and play this game.
I am a college student now.It is a long time not to use English so my English become so poor now especially English written.....and i am shamed for that.But it is not so difficult to play this game.And i believe that my English will be much better if i study it.
And....I have not finished this game but it is so good so I want to share it with my friend.I will write more about this game when i finish that.Love it ,and thank you so much.
Hello there! Someone has already offered to do Chinese translations. Hopefully we will able to release it someday :D
Thank you for the kind words!
I. Am. So. Happy.
I will be brutually honest. I had no idea this had a kickstarter or any sort of backing and had virtually no knowledge of this game, and when I saw the title, I was like...eh...pass.
But holy god, I am so happy I picked this up and played it. I have lost sleep to play this game, smiled because of this game, and ultimately, CRIED over this game because it is so beautifully written and executed that you can't HELP but cry. (
rip parfait tho i cried many tears there).I think the thing I like most about this game is how UNIQUE each route is. In a lot of VN's, the story doesn't really change regardless of the character, and that is definetely not the case here. I played the routes in the order listed on the page and honestly it was a wild experience. I love how some parts of the story don't come to fruition until you've played others...etc,etc, the boys are all beautiful etc,etc...
I just really love this game. Thank you.
