Still sad to see this game abandoned still 5 years later and losing $20 cause I wanted to support the creators while they were making this game.. seems they left the internet or something cause all I can find are abandoned accounts or blank sites :/
If you're wondering about how the two finished routes are, they're alright. Art is nice but its not as romance oriented as you'd expect for being called a otome and idk if its really worth the $10 for both
⚠️THIS GAME IS INCOMPLETE AND THE PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED⚠️
Only two routes were completed, Mikio and Hayato's, without voice acting. They can be bought individually for USD$5 each, for a total of USD$10 -- half the price of this version, and with the exact same amount of content. I haven't played them, so I can't say if they're worth the price. I can say, however, DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION. It just doesn't make sense.
I remember seeing this on Lemmasoft forums and some otome tumblr blogs back in high school and I was so excited and tempted to buy the $10 deal forever ago... This saddens me because I was so excited for this game! It had so much potential... but it’s dead 😞
unless you're interested in hayato and mikio's routes, please pass by this entirely. maybe even then, don't bother - i can't attest to their quality since they weren't the characters i wanted to romance.
the main writer, lore, has completely moved on from this game and no longer even puts it in her portfolio. currently she's writing and programming for other games. the main artist, rins, is the same. the bg artist, akane, has been inactive on twitter since mid 2019 - if they've changed their handle at this point, no one's sure what it is.
none of them have upheld their promise of updating everyone and i assume they just want to sweep this whole experience under the rug. multiple attempts to contact them have ended with no response. i know some people have gotten refunds. personally, i bought this too long ago to get one myself.
there are other great visual novels on itch.io that are based in mythology, it's just a matter of finding them. good luck!
if you email itch about it they can look into it and get you a refund! i know several people have been able to do this. i tried but i no longer have the card i used 5 years ago for it so i can't but i know other people have had no problem.
I asked for a refund but unfortunately I am unable to since i bought this way too long for me to get one. Not sure If i can even dispute it. And Even if I do, I also have the same issue of not having the same card I used to but the game...
Thanks for letting us know, I'm so peeved that they had the gall to take our money and leave us hanging with no update. Learned my lesson to never support indie games until the actually release the game.
This happened to me on Purrfectly Ever After too. They were taking too long to develop the game (but luckily didn't abandon the project and are still updating) and I didn't want to support them anymore. But they won't refund me.
I got this too long ago to get a refund too - I contacted itch.io about this and they told me it's impossible.
BUT! I'd say the two routes that are out are worth the individual price for each. These were the routes I wanted to play, so while I paid too much, I'm still perfectly satisfied with what I got, if that helps some people.
Thank you for the update. I remember seeing this game years ago and I was so excited for it. It's a shame that after so long the game never got finished :(
I just tweeted Lore to have some sort of info on the game.I will update if I receive an answer. At this point all I want is some clarity of whether this game will ever be finished or not. Almost 2 years of no one reaching out to us, and I'm tired of hoping for anything.
As much as I love this project, I am extremely sad to see it's current state. Especially when the group used to be active and informative. I've been following this project for five years, and I no longer see the finish line. The overflowing excitement that used to burn brightly within me for this VN has smothered out.
Please.... Even if you have to say this project is no longer active, that the group had a fall out, that progress has been slow... give us answers. Every one of us that was excited to see this become a source of joy deserve it.
I think it's safe to say, this is a dead project. I'll give them the benfit of the doubt that they aren't being wholly manlicious. They were gonna finish this game wholeheartedly but real life stuff happened and then it went all to shit. And instead of explaining anything they think they can just wash their hands and move on ignoring the people that paid for this... Which is BS but hey?
I used to be optimistic but...2 years of nothing? I think this game is a dead game.
Well, I surely want my money back now... I purchased the game 2 years ago when it came out thinking they will continue the last few routes but now I strongly doubt. We can't even contact them because their website is not working anymore.
Ahaha, here we are two years after I discovered this game... And what do we have to show for all that waiting? Jack Squat.
If there was some reason, ANY reason given to why they completed two routes and then gave up, It'd be fine, but it honestly just looks like they took the money, sent out a sympathy gift, and ran off. Jeezus.
Damn, that's sketchy as hell. I'm glad I read the comment section before wasting my money on a game that's basically been abandoned by its developers. The fact that they didn't feel the need to give any sort of response as to why they haven't finished or responded to questions about updates for the game, is reason enough not to give them anymore money.
Well this is a blast from the past. I remember thinking that I would buy this game when I got a job. Well, I'm out of school, have a job, and I have my own place.... But, the game hasn't changed.
Don't pay 20$ for a game that isn't even finished. I'm glad I didn't get it yet.
Hey guys, I think they have completely stopped this project. About 3 years ago (2017) I asked for a refund before the routes were released (lack of activity from what I saw) and one of them told me they were considering releasing on a route to route basis for people who already paid.
They did follow through with that, but like everyone else I haven't had an update since 2 of the routes were released. I only paid $10 at the time (I think it was a preorder or a special?) and consider it fulfilled due to the 2 route releases and that they did correspond with me when I contacted them at the time.
For prospective buyers, I wouldn't recommend dropping money on this if you're expecting a full game since it's been 2 years (Feb 2018) since the second route was released. It's not really worth the $20 as currently advertised.
Lol it's been 4 yrs and it's time to say the game has been abandoned. GL to everyone who asked for refunds. I'm surprised the page is still up for sales...
Dont recommend purchasing this game. It looks nice enough but the devs probably bit off more than they could chew since they haven't updated or been responding to messages in over a year. The last game update was over a year and a half ago. I purchased this three years ago and am still waiting. They've abandoned it and took everyone's money too :(
I paid for this game ages ago and they stopped updating completely, seemingly abandoning the project 1 year ago. I don't mind pre-ordering games as it's a way to help out indie game devs, but I've never been cheated like this. Isn't this basically stealing?

ATTENTION: This is the base game. You MUST buy the routes separately.
What a money grubbing thing to do for a VN that by all right should include all it's routes. Plus at this point the game is abandoned completely.
So do not pay for this. I'm sure someone has the files for free somewhere if you want to play it that badly.
You know what? I'm still salty that we didn't get to see Shuye's and Haiyue's routes - they were the ones I was the most interested in.
EDIT: It's been two years and I visit this page from time to time BECAUSE I'M STILL SALTY AS HELL.

⚠️for anyone new: this game is dead! ⚠️

Any idea how to get a refund?
I wish I'd seen your post beforehand, but unfortunately I didn't and shelled out the $20 for an incomplete dead game -.-'
if you email itch about it they can look into it and get you a refund! i know several people have been able to do this. i tried but i no longer have the card i used 5 years ago for it so i can't but i know other people have had no problem.

It's totally a scam. But hey, at least it was only $20.
They're still sketchy though. I do think that the artists for the game are still active on deviantart however, so maybe someone could ask them?
Ahaha, here we are two years after I discovered this game... And what do we have to show for all that waiting? Jack Squat.

looks to me like the team fell apart and it was messy so no one wants to give any answers
It's messier than my hair on Monday morning.

You can ask itch.io for a refund. They approved mine.
