I love the concept of the game ^^ It is not obvious what you should tell to your correspondants :)

aryanjumani 2020-04-21 08:22

I really really loved your game. superb idea and concept. great graphics and music as well.

despdair 2020-04-21 08:26

I always wanted to be a playboy in 80s :laughing:

ukumeme 2020-04-21 08:29

Stellar graphics

yigitserin 2020-04-21 08:33

Damn this game is polished. Great game, loved the art style and execution.

purpledartfrog 2020-04-21 08:33

Rally liked the look and feel of the game :smile: Well executed and simple to grasp - although - didn't quite catch if there were any indicators the first time to which are the correct replies - but I think I got the concept now :smile: ... but otherwise very nice :thumbsup_tone1:

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

I love it. Perfect. Took a tiny bit to figure out i can click the portraits, but that can be easily remedied with a pointing arrow or something similar during the first day

pandepic 2020-04-21 08:42

I love the art style, sound, music, concept and it was all executed/polished really well. I just wish there were more clues about what effect your choices might have like maybe a short bio for each person or something.

sarafilipa 2020-04-21 08:48

Gorgeous game with fantastic art and such an innovative concept. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience! Well done :)

olga-ryzhychenko 2020-04-21 08:51

Cute art! I loving paper style. Interesting concept and good realization.

harry-alissavakis 2020-04-21 08:51

Such a beautiful game, the art was awesome and I loved how polished it was! I also missed that you could see info about the recipient by clicking on their portrait but it was a great idea and an amazing execution nonetheless, great job!!

puzmak 2020-04-21 09:01

LOVED IT! Such fun, and clever idea! Perhaps add a little hint to check on the portraits, because I did not notice it was possible at first!

nikita-demidov 2020-04-21 09:14

Good job! I think the biggest problem is that after some time it gets a bit boring. Many add more possible answers after some time or even make it possible to visit someone?

purrseus 2020-04-21 09:16

To the finest of makers,

Your superb idea executed with such exquisite style spark light to my dim existence. I'm glad I found you and long to revisit you already.

In awe and utter astonishment,

Your fondest of admirers <3

barwani 2020-04-21 09:26

This is a really unique game! Well done!!

randdir 2020-04-21 09:42

well done team good job amazing art, love your entry keep it up in that way you got something really cool ;)

randomhuman 2020-04-21 12:36

Amazing degree of polish and extremely stylish. Every interaction is satisfying and the textual content is really fun.

The only thing I missed was a way to cancel writing a letter once started so I could choose to ignore instead if the available options don't suit.

maqo12 2020-04-21 14:20

Nice idea, I loved the graphics!

keln 2020-04-21 14:26

I liked it a lot! I loved the art and the design around the game, feels so polished and ready to be published it's amazing.

vulgaris 2020-04-21 14:35

fascinating use of the concept! the music was very fitting as well and the game writing was very witty, can't wait to see the other endings.

echonia 2020-04-21 14:39

Gorgeous ideas and visuals, very nice executions feels really polish.

If there's something I can say is that I don't really like the ignore button behavior as is. The player needs to know what it does right away (seems that I couldn't ignore the first letter), maybe only being able ton answer the next day then ? Anyway that was just to try to give some contructive design feedback, but you know... Really good entry!

Anyway great game, could be turned into something bigger and attractive.

sharks 2020-04-21 14:59

Really good concept and implementation! I'm surprised you had enough time to put all of that in there! It really plays like a proffesional game.

minititan 2020-04-21 15:02

Great idea! It was difficult to maintain a balance between the girls, but I did it.

banzi 2020-04-21 15:31

This was fun! The art is really pretty and goes well with the classical music. The combinations are interesting as well as the different personalities. But the game get's pretty hard when there is multiple people that you need to write to :D

meme-310 2020-04-21 19:50

I LOOOVE the graphics and classical music a lot. I got a little bored while playing. But nice idea I love it.

majadroid 2020-04-21 20:23

Unique idea, realy innovativegame, everything matches well together.

steve-dragon 2020-04-22 10:46

Very polished, beautiful art. The gameplay gets very difficult, very quickly, but is consistently fun. Thoroughly enjoyed the correspondence. Maybe a little more complexity would have helped, but as is it was quite innovative. Graphics were quite charming and so were the little personalities.

The letters themselves weren't very well-worded and the storytelling kind of fell flat there. I was enjoying reading through them, but my sentences seemed to have little connect with each other, and at one point an unmarried lady sent me a letter saying something about her husband.

However, the complaint is simply a minor quip at an otherwise excellent game.

solah 2020-04-22 21:14

Very good game, it was fun to find what people love to know what to write. Just, I think the game lacks of an ending, I was still alive by november and the game started to get a bit too repetitive.

Anyway, good job!

vesper 2020-04-23 14:20

This was delightful, and it was such a refreshing and unique take on the theme as well. Really well done!

As some of the others have said, a little more variation to the words would round it out nicely. It might also be nice if there were some sort of reward system if you reach a certain level of affection with one of the admirers, just some small goal system to keep one engaged and feeling like you're making progress within the "story". There was a tiny glitch where when you died and the game restarted none of the letters were clickable anymore, had to refresh the page.

Also the love/passion/intelligence managing system was a bit opaque at first and by the time you realise you've made a horrible mistake you couldn't back out of writing the letter. But that said I thoroughly enjoyed the central premise, the management system was just challenging enough to be engaging, and overall it was a breath of fresh air.

wolfrug 2020-04-23 14:51

Great work! I also love the fact that if you "lose" one they will 100% kill you. That feels very apropos. :-D Sadly, after just a little while I stopped looking at the text and only looked at the symbols - not sure how that could be remedied, really, but the text was funny otherwise!

lucecyl 2020-04-24 01:12

Loved you game! Replayed a few times and I'll play again for sure! Nice aesthetics, te art and sound are on point! Really nice interpretation of the theme! Great Game.

abdurrahman-khallouf 2020-04-24 02:48

mixed feelings here: love the art, the idea, the theme use. on the other hand I didn't find it fun that much.

at first I thought its about playing with lines to make them respond in ways. then discovered that it was about balancing the resources. you need to remember what "type" of letters you have and know your audience before you respond..

overall I enjoyed the experience.

have to ask though . does it have an ending?

yangying 2020-04-24 07:21

OMG I love the art! I am a fan of classic French rococo art and classic music so it is definitely a cute game for me. As a puzzle game I suppose the logic of the text is not that perfect but sure as a jam game that is ok! Anyway I must said that it is enjoyable to play this game, love it.

tom-robson 2020-04-24 18:39

One of my favorite entries so far! The concept and execution was great, and the overall presentation was brilliant!

I did encounter a bug, though. After dying, I was unable to open anymore letters, all I could do was sleep. Refreshing the browser fixed it

Other than that though, I loved it! Bravo.

joemag 2020-04-25 22:11

Neat idea and execution, do wish I had more of a concept of what the final win state was. Balancing against so many was a bit frustrating. Frequently got into states where all my options were bad for that particular recipient, would have been great if I could go between them mid-letter. Otherwise very polished, great work.

dimesto52 2020-04-26 11:10

1 or 2 mequanique would be missing to disturb us

n-feofentov 2020-05-05 08:32

Great game! I love art, UI, music and how you handled the theme, good job!

I had some minor issues with it. I wish Ignore button on letter screen would be replaced with Back, cause at first I thought that I can't watch other characters before making a decision weather ignore the current one or not. Also it would be great to have some narrative inside letters which probably may have some clues regarding the ending of specific person. And I'd love to have an opportunity to reset letter if I noticed that it's better to ignore one more day than to send what you wrote. And please, add "Are you sure you want to sleep?" window cause I almost ruined my play by accidentally clicking on it :laughing:

But it is a great game and idea. Good luck!

littlemiky 2020-05-05 17:23

Ahahah it's magic ! i love your treatments'choice for the thematic XD very clever, graphics are very clean and cute. Well done !!

vugars 2020-05-07 07:45

I really had fun. Loved Concept

pepperkep 2020-05-08 21:16

This is an amazing concept and the art is great. I think it would have been more interesting if the player had to figure out the admirer's preferences from how their letter impacted the fire rather than the game out right giving the player the information.
