Absolutely loved the animations, they were super engaging and added so much life to the novel! The artwork is stunning, and the whole novel felt incredibly immersive. The UI is clean, and fits the story perfectly. My only tiny critique is that the Start button being the third option in the main menu caught me off guard, I started clicking everywhere thought it was hidden haha! But overall, fantastic job to you and your team on this novel!

Wow, what a well rounded experience. Every aspect does its weight to build the story's tone. Gorgeous art with a strong style that is laid out beautifully as  the story goes on, really nice ui elements, gorgeous soundtrack. The writing did a great job making me feel the characters emotion even with minimal dialogue and the short playtime. It all feels very magical how it builds up.

Minor spoilers below

- One detail I really liked is the detail on the the characters growing as the story goes on, it really give it more punch (and also the different changes in the color/making them silhouettes and stuff) 

- also the layout of the choice menu is really nice (especially the second choice with the two versions of her) 

Beautiful writing that draws you in, accompanied by mesmerizing music and a cute artstyle. The yearning in this one was palpable and despite not anything serious being directly shown, I still felt anxious a lot of the time too. I especially  loved the moment the artstyle the artstyle shifted from the more 'minimalistic' fairy taile book look to the more detailed CG with more nuanced colouring. And as someone who has a weak spot for kisses on the hand, let me just say this one is probably one of the most intimate ones I've read so far.

I love knights. I love childhood friends to lovers. I came RUNNING. Once again your writing is so romantic and full of angsty longing that I can't get enough of it. Absolutely adored the style of this short game, from the style of the sprites to the beautiful backgrounds and border GUI, everything came together perfectly! Akua's CGs were also lovely and perfectly invoked the amount of affection these two have for one another. You and your team are truly masters at the fairytale storybook aesthetic. Can't wait to see remnants of these two in The Last Winter Knight <3

I love it so much! Love the artstyle, the writing and even gave me some ideas for my own writing! Of course credits are yours <3

God this was genuinely stunning. The writing was so beautiful and delicate, I was entranced from beginning to end. The subtle and well crafted sprite work  and limited palette/colour choices adds so much too, really enhanced the dialogue.

Ahhhh! This was such an incredible experience! The story was so rich despite being short, and I really felt deeply for the characters. The artwork was so beautiful, I literally just sat and stared at a still for a long while just to watch the backrounds and listen to the soundtrack. The music was perfect in every moment. I...may or may not have cried

Thank you again to Eli for having me on this amazing project- I am still in awe of the work that our team came through with, as it has come together for an unforgettable experience. As someone that has looked up to your VNs for two years now, getting to be a part of your collection feels surreal 😭 Like a dream come true. I look forward to working with you and any of our skilled team again. I hope everyone who takes the time to read enjoys! 🥹💛

beautiful art, music, writing, and story as always!! the yearning in this was insane like god, there's something so hungry and desperate about how the narrator yearns and loves. i enjoy it so much. i also just love how the small details about the characters hint so much about the deeper story behind them. especially the narrator! my lit student heart could do a small mini-analysis on the symbolism you've attached to her, especially if you look at it from the 'when you have no choice' route!

again, beautiful and lovely game! thank you endysis and team for making it <33

came for the knightly kiss on the hand and was NOT disappointed

The art and music is phenomenal. They go together so well, especially at the heartfelt moments of the story. I'm indecisive on which is the "better" ending, as each builds on the character's personality differently. Love it and highly recommend :) 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME ON THIS!!!! Playing cello for this was a joy and an honor.

I am so, so glad that I randomly searched VN's on itch like a year ago and found your work. I've always [well, in that year at least] admired your projects specifically because I feel you have strengths that I lack: your works are always beautifully polished, cohesive, focused, and immediately convincing. They are like poetry in VN form. I really loved being a part of this because I got to see how even with a group of different people working together you're able to maintain that consistent vision and direction. I honestly think I learned a lot about composing for VN's by being a part of this project.

But that is not to discount the amazing work of everyone else who worked on this too. The compositions and mixing are gorgeous and I got chills during the kiss scene even though I'd listened to these tracks a million times at this point recording parts. The styling of the sprites and backgrounds is so gorgeous and those CG's are incredible. Everyone who worked on this did a freaking bang-up job. You really assembled the Power Rangers here.

But the way it all comes together, the story and direction and programming and implementation, that is all you, and it is phenomenal.

This is a really special work and I'm really grateful to have been a part of it.

NOW GET SOME SLEEP!!!!!
