A boy on his sixth birthday. What will happen on that day?

  1. "I was honestly floored by the quality of writing in this piece. There were minor spelling issues that occasionally detracted from the piece, but the overall effect of the story was astounding. Rarely do I see such writing come out of VNs. The plot was gripping, drawing me in like a trap.

    -The interface was very well done. The only markings I'd have to take away are the options menus using the default, while the main and game interface used a different one, causing a little bit of disjunction. The side-by images were a very nice touch.

    -The music fit and was well used. Transitions were almost always spot on.

    -The art suited the piece and was generally well done. There were a few points where I wasn't impressed, but overall everything worked well.

    -I'd give this my max vote possible, if it had been 100% complete. As the writer noted, the game was not finished yet and the ending, while textually there, was not finished. While I understand the deadline caused that impact, I have to take away points for it. Still, the game was a rollercoster ride that I'm dying to see the next installment for."

  2. "Despite really liking the art, music and the overall atmosphere of the game.
    I was totally confused and did not understand the story at all.
    Because I find serious stories like this hard to understand in general, they need to break it down more so it is easier to understand.
    But even though I didn't understand it, I still liked it. I thought the art was really pretty and the music was very fitting."

  3. "-The writing is spectacular! I'm really impressed with how smoothly the prose flowed and with the beautiful descriptions.
    -The story itself was very interesting, albeit rather confusing. Some of the subtle elements could have been made a tiny bit more obvious, in my opinion. Otherwise, I love how the story had so much depth.
    -I love your choice of music. It's very suited to the world of magic illustrated in this story.
    -Great CG cutscenes and swordfighting effects! I can see the effort you put into making them. :)
    -Overall, wonderful game! "
