This was a fun demo! I really enjoyed the character dynamics, and the world-building was easy to understand and felt natural. The characters each felt like their own person and I could easily see the dynamic between Shizu and the love interests and how/why they'd fall for each other. Well, except for Hugh, but that's because he's hard to read lol. Liam and Faye are so cute and it never felt awkward to tease/flirt with them. Rowan I am eying with some anticipation, he and Shizu would be such a power couple!

MCs make or break dating sims for me, so Shizu was a breath of fresh air for being older as well as the responsible one of the group. I liked that she was competent and on equal footing with everyone, especially with tropes that can easily be the opposite, like the master-student thing with Faye or the sibling matter with Sei. 

If I had to critique something, I'd say some of the transitions felt abrupt and the princess's true nature seemed a bit too on the nose when Shizu encounters her. Granted, I can also see it as being something the princess doesn't see the need to hide since no one would believe Shizu. Overall, I look forward to seeing what happens next! ^^

This was a fun demo, and I enjoyed interacting with the characters (and collecting their numbers like Pokemon lol). The UI was really cute (kudos to the designer) and really emphasized the summer theme of the game. The clock was a nice touch. Chris is so cute, and I could never make my MC leave him alone to go explore. Vince was an unexpected runner up, man tries so hard to socialize and it's charming. Overall looking forward to the full release!

There were some things I did find confusing at first. It took me a bit to find how to customize hair and clothes since I initially didn't notice the page turn so a clearer indicator would help. When ordering food from Chris, I was under the impression that we would only pick one item and so was confused as to how much more I had to add to my order so maybe adding a "that's it" option earlier would help.

Thisis more on the nitpicky side, so feel free to take it with a grain of salt. I liked the customization for the MC but the chibi artstyle doesn't quite match with the character sprites. It feels a little jarring to see on-screen, like when MC is frustrated but their expression doesn't match the emotion because it always appears the same. It would be nice to have an option to turn off the MC portrait.

Also realized I skipped a question just after I posted lol. Will definitely look forward to the full release!

Played the demo and had a blast! Teresa was such a fun mc to play as and there was a nice balance of humor and tension. The first time I played, I got the bad end towards the end of the demo and had to rewind to pick another choice to not get offed. The villains aren't playing around and I hope to see this be maintained even as they start to fall in love with Teresa. (Good luck girl!)

Minor spoilers(?) for the questions

1. I'd probably pick Vicenzo as my first route since he seems to be more reasonable than Edel and already looks to have a bit of a soft spot for her. Edel is fun to interact with but I'll need to see more of him to want to go for his route.

2. My favorite scenes were the ones with her friends and brother. The mutual teasing and "I've got your back" is great to see, especially when I dislike seeing the og heroine as a scheming manipulator or a doormat to let the villainess shine. Also the accurate sibling representation. <3

3. They are villainous enough for me. I thought they had the right amount of charisma and in the grey for me to not be turned off. Plus their voices are nice.

4. This is fun speculation but I was looking through the faq and noticed that the answer for whether we'd get more love interests was rather... vague. So I started thinking of who would fit the criteria, and Teresa mentioned that that there were 4 ros in the og game. So far, we've seen three in the demo: the prince (confirmed non-romancable), our brother (nope), and Henry is already taken. So that leaves the fourth ro who has not appeared yet. With current knowledge he'd be my bet if another route is added. 

Hello, if you still need help, go click on download on Itch and you should see a "Claim Steam key" option if you scroll down a bit.Iirc you click on the mini bar below it and you should get the code!

Wow, this was quite the ride! The sprites are gorgeous and the UI really fits the scary carnival vibes. I initially thought Remy was going to be the "softest" route but  that plot twist a the end took me out lol. Leon was my favorite route but Jude imo has the best blush sprite since I did not expect him to look that cute. <3 The group dates were really also fun to read!

On a side note, does anyone know how to unlock the 4th CG in Casey's route? Followed the guide but it didn't activate.

Hello, the author announced on her Tumblr that the Steam release was tba.

Hi kait, I bought my copy on Itch and this is what it looks like on my phone. FYI I couldn't figure out how to get the chapter titles to show but it wasn't a problem on my PC so it's probably a technological issue on my end. Hope this helps.
