Engaging with this piece of work is an absolutely incredible experience! The characters are truly remarkable, and the depth of the narrative is both rich and captivating. It has definitely earned a spot among my favorite interactive fiction experiences, and I find myself eagerly anticipating the next chapters of the story. The immersive quality of this work allows me to lose track of time, and I must say that Xelef has become my favorite character throughout this journey. The way you have developed each character is impressive, as they feel so real and relatable. The intricate storytelling pulls you in, making it easy to become fully absorbed in the unfolding events. I really appreciate the effort that has gone into crafting such a detailed and engaging narrative, which keeps me on the edge of my seat, eager to find out what happens next. The emotional depth and complexity of the characters add layers to the experience, making it all the more enjoyable. I want to express my admiration for the outstanding work you have done in bringing this story to life. Your talent for character development and narrative construction shines through. As you continue to expand this masterpiece, I wish you all the best in your creative endeavors. It is clear that you have a gift for storytelling, and I am excited to see where this journey takes us next! <3
Honestly, it's a great game! The story is very thought out and you can tell how much time and effort went into each chapter. I feel very lucky to of played this as my first interactive novel. I can't wait to see more of your work for the future!
Lol though I keep looking at Xelef and thinking "SINBAD????!"
It's a good game and the first Interactive Novel that I've played on itchio, the story is good for sure but after like chapter 9 or 10 it kinda loses me. I kinda wish that we could have chosen like a special trait that we could have learned from being on the run for most of our life, but we don't so it kinda feels like we are a liability, until we start training and by then the book currently ends without anything but a sparring session. After playing it for the first time, somewhere in me I lost some interest in the story and that may be because after 10 or 11 chapters, you don't kiss anyone, I may be wrong but I romanced everyone except for Rozerin, but there isn't anything to bash on this game, it's very well rounded and as far as I can tell has no grammar errors. My favorite part of the game was the magic types even though I feel like they put characters in a box in other stories you flipped the script a little and surprised e, and I was confused and happy during y 4th playthrough when I got the 'Death of the Sun' I believe it was called? Lovely game, and I would recommend.
It's really funny to me cuz I have a dnd character with the same mannerisms as Rozerîn except it's not a facade of composure you can break with a few well placed sweet words but just how he is.
I just played through Xelef's route (as far as it is possible for now at least) and I'm amazed. Seeing as I couldn't hold back I'm going for Azad's route now. Your style of writing alone...It's detailed and what a reading flow! Then all these characters; each with their own complex background story and the bits and pieces of information regarding history, geography etc. is what mesmerises me.
It really is like a well written book, simply in the form of a game.
I am so thrilled to see how the story will progress!
another typo i think. i thought the steward was a guy.
“Indeed.” The steward glances at Rozerîn, before shifting her heavy gaze onto you. “I would say it is only natural for servants to know their master, but that lacks the urgency that would justify our presence at a no doubt critical time for Your

A pleasure to be introduced to a culture, that author knows how to weave intricately.
I got lost for two days and now yearning for more. This could've been on par with what's trending on goodreads, either as book or a visual. Certainly deserves to be seen.
I went for Xelef and was surprised by the hurt/comfort. Couldn't yield to being used, but the alternative certainly puts you at odds with him. But I just couldn't imagine how being a doormat would make for sound relationships.
As for gameplay: ability to roll-back or have multiple saves conveniently is sorely missed. Some choices could have a bit more clear consequences: choosing to be truthful to public and provide protection apparently is not enough for the court scene to pick the 3rd choice? Should I have chosen to ignore nobles first? Even if I chose to provide guards for all the ceremonies, why do I still end up with 'I should've provided more guards' message?
What is the significance of the aspect obtained during coronation ritual? Would it be possible to ditch nobles completely?
It feels like chapter 11 sets up a scene for ending, how many chapters are planned for the game?

there is a typo. You do your best not to accidentally inhale any as she works with concentration on her face, until she finally finishes.
Epic.
