I just started playing this, wanted to start with my usual OC/DnD character called Claire but it's so funny in the context of the story that I'm just going to keep it that way! I'm very excited for Jin and Clover's route, still haven't decided which one to play first! (:
Edit: Did Clover's route first and omg.... he's so sweet I'm gonna cry! I did want to punch him a few times and yell at him how much I love and care for him but in the end... bro made me blush, giggle and get a little teary-eyed. He deserves a hug <3
I can't wait to play the next routes.
I must say that for a game created for Otome Jam in such a short time- the art is breathtaking and the writing and characters are so captivating! I feel like I want to know more about this world and the people living in it
I had this downloaded for a while and never really got around to playing it until now. It was so beautifully cozy. I fell in love with the ROs equally. Okay, I did have a fave (a certain stubborn one) , but there wasn't a massive gap between them. And those ending CGS?! Gorgeous!
I will continue to gush about this, but I'm putting a SPOILER disclaimer here just in case.
I played Jin's route first before V then Clover, and I actually never got to a bad ending with Jin, only good (yay). I got V and Clover's bad endings first, and I usually steer clear of bad endings as much as I can, because sometimes they feel totally out of left field, but they really made sense for their character development. I mean, I ended up picking the choices that led to their bad endings not based on the actual character, but more my own internal struggles (Despite being more of a feeling rather than thinking type of person, it's a struggle to talk about my feelings at the best of times, let alone when it feels like I have to repeat myself and if I can, I always fight my own battles because I hate putting that burden on others.) If you've already read the routes I'm referring to, you'll understand where things took a turn lol. V's bad ending made sense with his character arc, but DUDE, Clover's bad ending effing BROKE ME. Don't get me wrong, it also made sense for his character once you learn his internal struggle, but OMG. It was kind of like an epiphany moment for me, seeing that even though I was resolved to fighting my own battles, I'm not the only one who gets hurt when I shoulder the burdens myself. (Sounds ridiculously obvious as I'm typing it, but as Clover said, I guess I understood it logically, but never really internalized it.)
(人ﾟ∀ﾟ ) Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the writing! Knowing Clover's bad ending gave you a kind of epiphany makes me really proud of my writing! His bad end is definitely the most dramatic but it definitely felt necessary to tie up his story. I'm glad you figured things out by playing AiC!
I really really enjoyed this game, everything about it feels super duper polished from the ui to the character designs the writing and just everything is really thought out and i can't recommend this game enough.
My fav routes were def clovers and Jins. Clovers route was especially was really really cute.
Tjis game was super crazy good, super impressive for a first title and i can't wait for anything new that comes from this developer!!
Aw thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed AiC!! I'm flattered really, no promises on anything new yet but I may or may not have some ideas for another otome game ^_^
just finished the routes! i played jin –> clover –> v and enjoyed them all. i liked v's design a lot, his jewellery is so pretty. i love loved clover's route, i think the pacing of the relationship w him was really well done and i thought his struggles and emotional beats really landed, hes so sweet<3 jin's route i think def felt the fastest paced but i loved it, jin's design also slaps and the whole process of them becoming more trusting and the stuff abt names+home was rlly heartwarming. a few times i had some issues w saving/loading but its so minor it didnt rlly have any negative impact at all. anyway considering the game's length and the fact its literally free, its honestly so fun, the artstyle is gorgeous, and the music is super lovely too, i had a blast, shoutout to everyone involved<3
I like the lore of Clairune and the races (especially the elves with their antlers and the dragonborns with their weapons; sadly there is no sprite of a siren)
My first route was V. I love his colour theme of brown, red and gold. Charming, adrenaline searching fella with a sweet and caring side. Funny and lighthearted route. My fav from the three LIs.
Second route was Clover. Diligent, friendly, empathetic man with a secret flirty attitude. Romantic and a little bit fairytale theme.
Last route was Jin. Mysterious, guarded, no nonsense personality with a good heart. Their route have the most interesting plot from them all.
Thanks for liking my game! Yeah, we did have two optional shadow sprites which we didn't get around to, a siren and a group of snobby dragonborn royals(the trio judging V). Honestly playing V > Clover > Jin is definitely the way I guessed most people would play it so I'm glad that's how you played it, the lore reveal increases gradually if you play it that way but it's definitely more of an implied suggestion than anything concrete.
Aw I'm glad you enjoyed Clover's route, his struggle is very human despite him being an elf. Jin's route definitely is intense compared to the other two lol but they are a sweetheart and deserve the world
My first playthrough was Clover. He's so precious. All the characters are very attractive and well dressed. I had to pause, press H and stare quite often. And like someone else mentioned, it wasn't frustratingly hard to get the good ending and desired route. My jaw hurts from all the smiling while reading the text. I scrolled back just to reread some nice dialogue. I want to pace myself and gradually get through the other routes at another time. I don't want this experience to end quickly!

Hm we've had mac downloads before this and someone else did report a bug but they didn't specify if they were using window/linux or mac so I'm not entirely sure if this is a user error or not. I'll get back to you on this as soon as I can tho
I love this game, it is truly fantastic! The characters are all so charming, I'm partial to Jin myself, they are just such a fluffy little person. I really enjoyed this, the writing was amazing, so much characterization stuck into a short experience, and it didn't feel at all forced or fabricated, it felt totally natural, which is often a hard feat to accomplish. I'm really impressed!
This game was just what I needed this evening. It was like a warm hug. Clover route done, time to sleep. Two other routes will have to wait till tomorrow. Thank you for creating this experience, well done!
this game was really sweet. all 3 love interests have their own charms and distinct personalities. i like that the choices were also not too complicated to figure out (like, what would lead to whose route, what would be the best choice for the situations, etc) because it is relaxing to play without needing a guide. the good thing is that the choices each still have their different scenes as well which is really nice. overall i quite like this game! great job!!
sniffles sobs sniffles i have never smiled so hard i think i might implode. worlds no 1 clover fan ever. claiming the title now. i love this game thank u im keeping it in my back pocket forever and ever and ever

Is there an error in the gallery or am I missing something?
Yeah the gallery screen is still incomplete. I apologize. (*╯-╰)ノ
Ohh okay! All good, the game was fantastic btw ♡ !
Thank you! .*･ﾟ☆ヾ(*∇*)ﾉ☆ﾟ･* .
Such a sweet and magical game ! I had to play all three storylines because the characters were all so intriguing. I loved it :D
Very sweet, healing experience.
Clover best boi

I started by playing Jin's route, and oh boy that was a ride. I'm in love with them AAAAAAAAH !! And the pace of the story is really good !
Then I did V's route. Omg the dialogue options I can't ! They are too good to be true, either way too funny or interesting character wise.
Actually, all dialogues are iconic !!
Clover's route was... Something. It healed something in me I didn't even know was broken.
Overall, the sorry is so sweet, the characters are really attractive and the art is stunning.
I'm really excited to see more from the game devs (with other stories I mean).
(Jin is still my favorite, sorry boys I can't resist those freckles)
As a fellow game dev, it's an honour to be in the same Jam as you !
1000/10

I've updated the mac version can you test it out now to see if it works?
