This was such a fun and charming game! I absolutely love historical romances, and this title was no exception. The demo really made use of atmosphere and the narration to sprinkle in bits and pieces (for example, I love that we were made to think about Eleanor being married before, and what that must've been like). I also really loved Eugene's character and how he was more shy and compassionate than we (and Eleanor!) were led to believe. I'm so, so weak for misunderstanding stories, and his route really seemed to fit that so far. 

I loved what we saw so far and would love to read more of their story (and this world!) in the future. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Thank you very much ! I'm glad you liked Eugene and the Story. And I have so much more to tell about the character, their perceptions and their past. I really enjoy showing everything through the eyes of Eleanor because of her flawed perception is.

Be sure I will tell the remaining story of Eugene, Eleanor and Edwin ! It will just take more time than I had initially planned ! I hope you will enjoy the full story when it releases !

I'm so excited! The game is awesome, I like the idea of Victorian era, the characters are so interesting and sweet. I also really like that Eugene is not typical cold rich man or smth like that. Idk how to say it correctly, but for me he is different from other men close-to-that-type. Like he has more tender and even cute side and I love that little detail<3
And how all of them are so gentle and polite with Eleanor (ngl, firstly I wanted to play cuz of MC 😅, she definitely caught my eye).

Thanks for your work! Can't wait for the full game, the demo was really precious^^

Thank for your sweet words ! 

I'm glad I was able to show Eugene true colors ! As a man that was forced to hide his feelings to fit his title and education but unable to completely hide his true personality. I like when he act softer...

I'm also happy you like Eleanor, MCs don't usually catch the eyes of played so I'm grateful that you first was interested in her. (And  I also love her very much) 

Can't wait to release the full game !

Beautiful art and writing! I love how the main character has a past but doesn't let that phase her. Nice programming with the computer graphics. I really enjoyed this, thank you! 

Thank  you ! I've wantetd to show Eleanor as strong but full of emotions ! So I'm glad she resonated with you !

Eugene is definetly a misunderstood cutie !! I hope you will like him as much in the full game =D. Or maybe Edwin will be able to earn some love too !
