This is so fun!  I like these fun characters and seeing their post-adventure lives!

Oh my goodness, you captured the freedom and expression and magnificence of post-"Hetera Norma" so dang well. I loved seeing my former fellow adventurers being their best selves and helping me, the grand hero, move on with my life and discover my ✨MAGNIFICENCE✨ too! 

The "what does someone do after their grand adventure" storyline always intrigues me, and I love what you did with it here :D 

Oh, and this artwork is so adorable and the writing is awesome and the unique use of the "battle system" was so clever!

So good -- the dialogue, the art, the clever non-battle system... I loved it! (Minor note, I know it's not a "the end" kind of ending, but I wish it faded to black or glitter or something.)

Lovely game with sweet vibes,a rt and music!! I loved the fact the hero couldn't do anything from their previous life and had to use the others' help/actions. I also now ship them with the crow town guard. Congrats!!

This was absolutely adorable! Note to the developers: There was one dialogue (the one in the bakery) where the fade to black before the next scene cut off one of the dialogue boxes too fast, I thought you might wanna know about that

Thank you! And thanks for pointing that out! Hopefully we'll be able to roll out some updates to get it fixed :D

The fact there was a combat system that was made in such a short time is very impressive. I almost died by accident, but I made them fabulous.

Looking that slay can be dangerous, but it is worth the risk 💅
