MY FIRST OTOME GAME!!!
this game was pretty good for a free visual novel and i liked the character designs a lot! i was pretty curious about karma from the very start but decided to go route wise.
**SPOILERS AHEAD**
in my opinion, rod's route was unique AND enjoyable. though the inc*st made players uncomfortable, the story was well-executed and kept me on the edge of my seat! his relationship with the girl from the doll shop (victoria?) really piqued my interest. just like all the other routes, his bad end was pretty sad but well-written. i like tsunderes, and that is one of the reasons why i liked his route. but man, him disappearing in his bad end was something hard for me to accept :(
as i said before, i was curious about karma, and so, developed a huge crush on him before even the start of his route (his appearance in the common route stole my heart) and he looked so damn pretty as a woman! i'm also into men that flirt with any women they see, but have a sad backstory; so his route was a win-win for me! also, the fact that he was a runaway prince also made my heart dance! his curse was fascinating and left me wanting more and more (i'm a huge fan of 'The Beauty and The Beast'!) his bad end was also pretty depressing and I CAN'T BELIEVE I KILLED THE LOVE OF MY LIFE WITH MY OWN HANDS ON FIRST TRY!
rumpel. his route was my least favourite because of his saint-like personality! yes, i do respect his desire to save people, but WHAT ABOUT LUCETTE!? my love for flirtatious men does NOT apply to him and i will never put him in the same league as karma. also, he might love lucette, but i hate him.
first of all, please let me sob for varg. WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO MY BELOVED VARG!? and personally, i would choose him over some knight guy. i have a love-hate relationship with this route. like, WHY IN THE WORLD DOES VARG HAVE TO DIE IN BOTH ENDS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!? no, i don't like fritz and hate me for it, but my baby varg did not deserve that.
finally, waltz! him being lucette's friend in the past has to be one of the best things in the game! also, the fact that lucette taught him how to sew is SOO SWEET! i could never not love him for being by lucette's side since so long. he was one of the best MLs in the game and i love and respect him for it.
now, the game itself. the RCI is one of the best things to have been created and i love the 'achievements'! the art on each end is so phenomenal and mesmerizing that i screenshot the interface after completing all of them! the opening song is also good and the OSTs are just *chef's kiss*
the side characters were also pretty well-written, but i hate how atleast one of them dies in each of the routes. and: lucette's mom was a freaking m*lf and i love her for that 'cuz being such a majestic creature erases all of her sins in my eyes <3
