I really like your art style!
thank you!
really cute visual novel i like it :) music is good too :) it feels like dreaming :)
thank you! i am happy you like it!
Is there a download version of this please? The other games worked fine in the browser, but this one refuses to go full screen and so some of the boxes are cut off. Thank you. Looking forward to some more from you. Invite the blackbird and follow the blackbird were also amazing. but I think I played them out of sequence!
i wanted to make some updates before uploading the new version, but somehow it took too much time. Soon I will update and also put downloadable version
Thank you.
Just uploaded windows version
Thank you very much! XX

So cute! I love when artists make games <3 that was fantastic
thank you so much!
What a beautiful experience!
thank you!
I really like the game. The art style is gorgeous and the music is beautiful. The puzzles aren't too hard either. That said, it was a bit tedious to go down. It takes so long! Sometimes the comics boxes won't load. Once one frame loaded, but the one before it didn't. Other than that, great game!
thank you!
I've already heard of this issue - it happened with the picture with open door: you should have clicked on the opened door then the next pad would appear, sorry that it was confusing. i'll fix that after the game jam
This was very sweet, and beautifully drawn and arranged. The music fit perfectly.
One question: what was wrong about that flag? Its color was like the others, and fit into the pattern. I only found it by clicking on them all. What did I miss?
thank you!
the flags follow some certain sequence and one of them doesn't fit into this sequence and you need to find it. after you click on the right one it is being replaced by the correct colour
Wow… this truly is a lovely, wholesome and beautiful game. The art and music are so great… I completely love it, thanks for making it! It has been a wonderful and peaceful experience to play Really nice first game! Keep up the good work ^^
