not a bad premise for story - could definitely use much more setup, atmosphere feels heavy from the start with almost no explanation

Amazing premise, and I love the style. I wish I could have made the screen gibber though--I was stuck lookcing at what seemed like a 640x480 windwo on a 1920p screen, which made things a bit hard to see.

I loved the story, but I do admit I as a bit lost as to what to do (especially on the final day). After the third day when I want home the screen just went black and the game stopped, so I'm not sure what the ending meant.

The art and music definitely reminded me of the old Might and Magic games, in a great way. I've always loved that style.

With a little more explanation (and a bigger window) this game would be super. As it is, I still like it a lot.

@artur-hawkwing Oh no, it sounds like the ending cutscene broke. I'll look into it, thanks for letting me know. As for the window size, I wholly agree it's waaaay too small but unfortunately RPGMaker Ace hard-sets the resolution for some dumb reason. I tried looking into a way to make it bigger but I couldn't find anything. I plan to look into other versions of the program because there are a lot of weird restrictions in Ace.

But I'm glad you liked it despite all that! Sorry about the broken ending, though. There should have been a cutscene after the third day.

My game screen also turned black as Arturs, but for me was after Day 2 I didn't get to the third day :( sad I was having fun. If you fix the issue please let me know, I'll come back and play it again.

@spirits I will absolutely look into that.
