Love the music, the game it's fun. I had a bug on chapter 2 I choose the card to ignore her but It's give me the option to confront her.

I will certainly remember this game, well done. The writing is really interesting and all the characters seems to have a strong background together. (Is it possible that Griffs' appearance is linked to Griffith from Berserk?).

Awesome ! I really loved how it was made. Graphics are really good, I love the music, and the story is really nice. It's a bit hard to predict what card you will need, so, there is some replay value here. I think the two genres are well mixed. The only negative part was that I wanted to play more :smile:

Use cards to play visual novel is cool! I love the music.

I found that sometimes you have no cards can use in chapter 2 when you choose "ignore Sara" + "get a drink".

Thanks for the comments!
About the problem of sometimes not having the right cards and getting stuck, we will adress it and release a fix version. We will notify everyone and put a link in the entry description =)

@Solnak yes, Griffs is a clear reference to Griffith =)

I like visual novel games, and the mix with cards game is a pretty good idea, it gives it another dimension. In the dressing room chapter, I've got a bug that it was said that Sara call me, but the character shown was Griff. And in the final chapter, I've got a bug that the character didn't appear (I had the dialogs and choices, but only the background). Anyways, I had fun playing this game, good job!

Good visuals and suitable audio to create a good mood but, the game mechanics are clearly not finished and it was a little frustrating to not always have the opportunity to say what I wanted to say. Also, pls fix gremar.

I love the art and the story was pretty interesting I really wanted to be able to strategize my cards more. We chatted about this during the stream and I think time was in the way of your design goals. The cards really engaged me as a player who often doesn't play this style of game. Good work.

Wow, the art is fantastic!! I love it. It's an interesting idea the combination of game genres you chose. I got stuck sometimes since i didnt have cards to continue, in those cases would be great that a "bag ending" was shown.

When i first seen it I thought that the progression will keep on going through various card games, but it's still fun even though a little bit dry of gameplay :)

Mine doesn't have cards and the dialog is replaced with grunts :)

I think this is a really cute game. Also, I must ask... IS BELLE MALE OR FEMALE??? Anyways, it was really fun, though there were a few typos in the dialog.

Ha, great 'dating' casino adventure - was a bit hard to see how the cards played out... I had certain choices I could not make because I had chosen other things before? I went with Belle in the end :D

Making the card mechanic way clearer would help a lot!

It's pretty sad that one can be stuck because they don't have the right cards to say anything but I really loved the game. Will play again to see everything.

A neat take on the visual novel genre. I liked the art too.
