I really love the story, also the fact you can use custom pronouns! I use neopronouns (star/stars/starself) and it makes me happy to see them being used! also i am a little bit of a simp for xelef
This is amazing! I'll definitely replay the story more than once. The story feels super interactive, and I LOVE every single chapter. Thank you for this awesome game!! <3 <3
I was really impressed by your game so far. The characters have such a good deep interaction with the player that it feels so good to invest the time to really weigh your responses. I cannot wait to see the end product (or even more content), because you've done such a lovely job. It also inspires me to want to figure out twine so I can put as much love into my writing as you do AND let people enjoy it. Good luck!!
Hi Cherry it's been a while since I last made a comment but I do go through your tumblr and read the comments and your responses to them and I must say I'm always impressed at how you handle some of them and I lough sometimes cause from them I can tell that you are not a lady to be triffled with hehehe. Anyhow I realy enjoyed Chapter seven and I only just went Ashti's route.
Here is my Crown days before being found,take care of yourself Cherry,your work is amazing.
Will this be available for download at any point, perhaps when the story is finished? I’d really like to keep this handy during times when I’m without internet, and I’m more than willing to pay if that’s a concern.
Beautifully written with well-made characters that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE-
This is such a great game and there are no words to describe it. I can't wait for the eighth chapter, since the cliffhanger got me GOOD. So far I really like all the characters (currently in the Rezan route) and-
Yeah. I will wait (like the impatient person I am).
Has anyone else been encountering problems with trying to save when opening the game from the itch.io app? Seems to work fine on other browsers for me but not the app.
Thanks so much for this! I just finished playing the demo and it's really good, I totally loved it! ♡ I liked all the characters, but Xelef has a place in my heart (●´ω`●)/~☆
I'll be honest, I've been hooked to every single one of these characters. I just can't decide which ones are my favorite. Thank you so much for making this. ^^
Someone recommended this on reddit, said it was good. So, I checked it out and it was better than good!! I'm used to fast-paced romance and this one's a bit slow but it's not bad at all. I enjoyed the read so much! The romances in this story are super CUTE. I love all the RO's personalities, they all make my heart flutter. I've done one route for now but I'll definitely do more.
I've just found this game and I'm already in love! The characters definitely don't feel one-dimensional and like just...random people that can easily be seduced? Azad and Xelara remain my favorites so far but I'm thinking they're all very intriguing.
Wait, lemme reiterate what I've said though. The characters' personalities feel fully immersive and fleshed out, like real people with actual concerns and opinions. That and being the ruler of the land, having to deal with the potential backlash of decisions that I, the player, select, is a lot of pressure and continuously has me sweating haha. I want the country to thrive and for people to be okay, and this Steward to be appropriately handled, though he's a minor irritation compared to the assassins.
Can we get a link on where can donate somewhere here on the main page? I had to dig around a bit to get to your ko-fi donation page, but it would be handy to have a link here. :)
I just played through all available chapters for the past 8 hours, and this story you've written is amazing. The way you write draws me in, and with having so many personality traits its exceptionally easy for me to create a character similar to me. Xelef was the only character I can view romantically, but thats just me and my type, which im honestly suprised you were able to get in the game :D I was wondering what the highest relationship you can have with Xelef is as of right now, currently im at "He likes you."
Thank you for the kind words! ❤️ And yeah, "They like you" is the highest you can get with X right now. As I add new chapters, the relationship levels will also gradually increase!
I've just started and WOW this has me feeling more alive than I have in so long. You're absolutely incredible at painting pictures with your words, and I adore every single character! Xelef and Ashti are awesome but man Tûjo owns my whole heart- so if you're gonna kill him off, please at least make it sound cool :,)
I can't wait until the next update!!! Also, do you have a website or app that you used to make this? I'm very inspired to make my own interactive story but unfortunately don't know what website/app is best to make it with. Anything can help thank you!
I used a tool called Twine! It's free to use and you don't need to know how to code to use it, but I would definitely recommend looking up tutorials since it does take some time to learn and get used to.
This game really deserves everything it's got right now, I found it the other day and it's a total gold mine for story, culture, and lore. The routes are also incredible, it's just a total 10/10!
Having played through all the available chapters twice in two days, I can say I’m definitely hooked. I think the hardest part is choosing which love interest to pursue... they’re all so lovely in their own way. The personality system is also really interesting; not only do I want to play all the routes, but I want to do it with different personalities too, which makes the replay value immense. The crown having different handwriting based on their personality is also such a endearing little detail. I’m excited to see the politics of this world, and interested in how much you can truly change the kingdom you rule... good work! Thank you for your hard work, it’s much appreciated! Take breaks when you need to! (<- I may not know you personally but many creatives I know don’t take enough breaks)
It didn't take me long to finish all the chapters that have been posted so far, that's for sure. I can't wait for updates in the future too. Everything is so well written, and I love the features on the side that accompany it. I'm so thankful for finding this. Keep it up!
I absolutely adore this! Though my first ending was the Bad One(whoops), I’ll be trying again soon enough :) Hopefully I’ll survive more than two days as the Crown LOL.
made an account just to say how much i love this. your world building is amazing and i love the characters you’ve written. so excited for the next chapter!

Yep, I'm planning on making it available for download once the entire game is finished! No worries about paying, it'll still be free haha
I don’t know how I could possibly go on… I need to finish it! This really is absolutely amazing. :)
Brilliant update, I didn't expect such depths from Dara! Keep up the good work. We love the game! :D
This game-
No. This isn't a game, IT'S A-
What's a word for an amazing thing?
Oh a MASTERPIECE

the dialogues in this chapter are amazing *chef's kiss*

Unfortunately the app doesn't like the pop-up prompt for renaming your saves 😭 I'd recommend using browser to play the game for now!
The chliffhanger is killing me! Aaaaah I can't wait for chapter 8 :D
Thanks so much for this! I just finished playing the demo and it's really good, I totally loved it! ♡ I liked all the characters, but Xelef has a place in my heart (●´ω`●)/~☆
Hope to see more in the future!
I'll be honest, I've been hooked to every single one of these characters. I just can't decide which ones are my favorite. Thank you so much for making this. ^^
amazing story and writing, lovable characters and relatable mc, i fell in love right away and read all night, thank you!
this is so lovely. i have no words. i love the characters and the plot and the writing i have no regrets reading this <3 it's so, so wonderful

All in all? Consider me heavily invested.
Can we get a link on where can donate somewhere here on the main page? I had to dig around a bit to get to your ko-fi donation page, but it would be handy to have a link here. :)
"Support This Game" button at the top of the page.
lol okay, I'm blind. Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words! ❤️ And yeah, "They like you" is the highest you can get with X right now. As I add new chapters, the relationship levels will also gradually increase!
How far can you get with Dara until Chapter 6? Is reassured the most?
Yes, the 'reassured' relationship description is still the highest level you can get for D, currently! It'll increase in future chapters.
Hi, sorry to bother, is it still the highest level in chapter 7?
I'm glad to hear that, thank you ❤️
Oh my god, thank you so much for creating this and sharing, truly marvelous writing <3
Can't wait for more!
I've just started and WOW this has me feeling more alive than I have in so long. You're absolutely incredible at painting pictures with your words, and I adore every single character! Xelef and Ashti are awesome but man Tûjo owns my whole heart- so if you're gonna kill him off, please at least make it sound cool :,)
Agreed! Tûjo is the best. Love that man. To bad he is not a love interest. Haha
Thanks so much!! 💖 Tûjo really is a fan favorite haha
I can't wait until the next update!!! Also, do you have a website or app that you used to make this? I'm very inspired to make my own interactive story but unfortunately don't know what website/app is best to make it with. Anything can help thank you!
I used a tool called Twine! It's free to use and you don't need to know how to code to use it, but I would definitely recommend looking up tutorials since it does take some time to learn and get used to.
Thank you so much!!
This game really deserves everything it's got right now, I found it the other day and it's a total gold mine for story, culture, and lore. The routes are also incredible, it's just a total 10/10!
This book is amazing so far! Amazing storytelling; I can tell how much you immersed yourself in it. Well done, I look forward to seeing more!
(Spoiler- sorry TwT)
“Spirits spit on the grave of whoever birthed your cursed bloodline, Xelef!”-Azad
I laughed at that part- XD
This is a fantastic game. Great job.
Unfortunately it's not working for me
Edit: Nevermind, it was a problem from my side (browser settings). Now, I can enjoy the game to the fullest! Yay!
Having played through all the available chapters twice in two days, I can say I’m definitely hooked.

I always strive for maximum replayability haha. Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!! ❤️
