Very nice! So much to like about this entry - the title screen is absolutely gorgeous. I love the styling of the 'puppeteering' during travel. All the Undertale style fights were fun - and the fight music is absolutely banging! Great work all!

I could not make it again the crow, but it was fun, I just wished I got that romance unlocked. :love_letter:

Hi guys! I've tested your game before and it's so nice to see full version.I've enjoyed tha gameplay part of it i do know about Undertale and Deltarune but before i havent' played them.Birdie gave me some tough time i'll not lie.

Dialouge window is a little messy and I havent quite felt the impact of our choices but still the art is so cute,the music fits just right as well as the gameloop is fun.

Thank you for this expirience!

It seems like the first and last cutscenes broke, and I could only hit skip. I spared no one and got the good ending, nice :sunglasses:
