You reached the end of the demo! We should probably create some in-game message telling you that, so we'll include that in the next patch. We'll be adding in more content soon, so please stay tuned! Thank you for trying our game - your save data will carry over to the future updates! :)
So, I finally got to play this demo! Yippie! (Spoilers and so much rambling-- forgive me--)
My thoughts on the game are just gonna be what I felt about it, so I dunno if thats gonna be important... haha
first of all, I feel so villainized. Dont get me wrong! I am a villain after all! (a pretty one at that) (I think I have a crush on the villainess' looks)
its cool that even if I was trying to be nice or amicable with some people, they still scrutinize me. Makes me think what did Cecilia do to make them see me as a monster?
but also, without the context of Cecilia's past (since she was supposed to be a one dimensional villain after all) I feel really bad for Cecilia. To have a father who loves his adopted son more than his own daughter, to be expected to know these prim and proper etiquette while her brother can get away with it, to be married to someone who despises you.... (but maybe its just because I dont know what Cecilia was like, maybe they had their own reasons)
honestly, I can see why Cecilia would turn out to be a villainess if she was treated like that for no reason. So, you try to fight back in your own way. If the people see you as this monster... why bother trying to be kind and friendly when they've already made their mind about you? You might as well give the people what they want. They want a villainess? then I'll be your villainess. (you can tell how much this affects me HAHAHASBHSADH--)
But I still have hope that we can be kind to other people. I'm not going to give up on redeeming myself (if we did something wrong) The demon lord and Isidora seems nice! (which is cool because I desperately need someone friendly in the game--) So I have hope that maybe some people will be friendly! (also, I find them so cute!! I love them so much <3) (The demon lord's rambles? I can relate to them so much) (I mean-- this comment is so long I think its considered a ramble??) (god help me)
Also, while I had my eyes on Cassius,(oh wow, me in the villainess' body, crushing on her fiancé, very original ;-;) I started crushing on Hermes.... (only because he doesnt seem to treat me like dirt ;w;) (my standards are as low as it can be) (its embarrassing, I know)
Oh, as the story progresses (yeah, I am writing these as I play them ahaha) The father seems to be... nice? I mean, he isnt as cold as I thought he'd be.
alright, so I'm one month in... (after the rhythm game haha) (I think I did pretty good :D) It seems that some of the maids are comfortable with me, which is a start! I believe in us LETS GOOOO
UH OH I ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED LOAD ON A UNSAVED FILE IT WAS A MISTAKE IM BACK IN THE VOID--
update: I adore the maids, I hope in the full game, I get to bond with them like those silly cartoon villain henchmen, or rather henchwoman in this scenario :D (you know, like a... "you got it boss!" type vibe? I would like to hype them up too HSYHGSDFGF)
I think I finished the game, wooo boy. I'm looking forward to it! Truly hope we can redeem ourselves (and not get killed again -cough cough-)
Lastly, THE ARTSTYLE LOOKS SO GOOD AAAAAA I COULD JUST EAT IT UPP!! <33 the expressions are seriously delicious!!
Haha, don't worry about the rambling! Personally, that's always my favorite part lol
First off, thank you for your kind words and thoughts so far, it's really motivating to see how passionate you are in your review! I'm glad to see that the frustrations of playing as a truly despised villainess are coming through. We're actually planning on further expanding variations in experiences and choices in the earlier chapters, as well as locking in on some pretty THICK path experiences in the third chapter... be prepared. And rest assured! Character relationships, histories, and development are a big focus of the game, so the shadow of the real Cecilia will continue to hang over you as you play and learn about her life. As for characters, it seems that Hermes has bagged another loyal fan (we'll see how that goes)! But if your standards are low, then mine are lower because Cassius is my king <333. And the Marquess... well, he's an interesting case. The next narrative update will definitely add some more factors to the mix! Thanks again for playing <3
Low standard besties LETS GOOO!! <333 I'm excited for the updates of this game then!! AAAAAaa I swear, Hermes is just-- I just think his first impression wasn't bad, I promise I'm still going to Cassius (who am I kidding, I'm going to pursue both of them) also, what do you mean "we'll see how that goes" OH NO IS HE GOING TO BE MEAN TO US?? I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE--
"the shadow of the real Cecilia will continue to hang over you as you play and learn about her life." Gosh, I am so ready to cry. STAY STRONG VIOLET!! (Thats the name I use for my character haha dont mind me--) but yeah!! Good luck to you all!! I'll be cheering through the screen :DD
EDITED review after uninstalling and reinstalling:
Bugs and errors I found when playing through - contains spoilers:
Error 1: Game crashes during fan minigame which I am highly aware is being fixed.
Error 2: Save/Load option not happening during selection of choices.
Error 3: Not being able to choose the same choice again when selecting through the alternatives.
=====================================================
Overall thoughts - I know this demo had a lot of potential, the art is absolutely pretty and the mini-games definitely looks like there was a lot of effort put into it. The story seems absolutely amazing which made me stay, especially now that I have reinstalled it and played through it. The team was pretty kind as well, being very helpful through it all.
I will still stick through, just hope that the issues gets resolved quickly.
Hi Mike thanks for playing our game and giving us feedback!
From the errors that you described, I suspect the version you played is not the latest build.
Please download our latest version (should have a timestamp that says "15 days ago") and check out this devlog as well as this one to learn about how to clear your save files if your game crashes!
Please let us know if you have any questions or if the errors persist. Thanks!
It is the updated version, I checked and updated it before I made the comment…I’ll uninstall it completely and reinstall it, perhaps that would fix the issue I’m facing.
So I uninstalled and reinstalled, removed all entries and it is much better now. I still cannot input my name nor the choices that we once chose can be re-chosen, but there is more content to the “move on” dialog which did seem like a good closure for that route, I’m happy with that.
I hope that we get the save / load option right at the dialog because it’s much more easier to come back to it.
Edit: After I finished the fan minigame, it randomly crashed and now I lost all the stat I accumulated. A shame, really.
Edit 2:
This does not progress from where when I choose to find Isadora through a new way.
We're working on fixing the input and streamlining the content after a1c3_2. That's why you are experiencing the bug you showed in your second edit as that scene is yet to be fixed. And yes, there is currently no content after the ball. We are working on that too!
Could you describe what happened around the time the game crashed after you played the minigame? Did you play it in the free time zone and how many turns remained (aka how many games have you played in that zone before the fan one)?
Thanks again for playing our game and providing feedback!
Tried running the game on windows, but after showing the godot icon, the screen just went blank? The music was playing, but I couldn't see/interact with anything on screen. Not sure if this is a problem specific to my pc, but can you help me figure out how to fix this?
The game looks very promising and the main heroine looks fantastic! The plot is something I have been dreaming about, since reading so many mangas about villainess. p.s. Please, tell me that we can date Hermes! please! please!))
We're so glad to hear it! As fans of villainess stories wanting to pay homage to the great and facilitate discussions on the...less great...aspects of the genre, we're dedicated to giving players an experience that will be both indulgingly familiar and excitingly unique, as any good villainess story should be!
...And let's just say, Hermes definitely has some versatility in the role he plays through the story... ;))
For some reason, the game window always shows up in the top left corner of my PC. I am unable to drag the window around and the top options such as - or x are out of my reach. Is this intentional?
I'm loving it so far! The writing and art are spectacular.
I may have encountered a bug after the protagonist looks back to see where Cecelia lives, the dialogue box seems stuck on "false". Also, just a bit of feedback, it took me a while to figure out where the "back" button was for the settings because I'm not used to looking for it in the bottom right corner. Secondly, partially because the icons for Save and Load are the same, by misclicking an empty Load before Saving, I accidentally restarted and lost all of my progress which was a bit annoying.
I am super excited to continue to support this game!!
Hi Kenzie!! Thanks for your feedback. I agree that the save and load buttons were confusing so I just made them show the text for now (we'll put new sprites soon). Good to know about the settings screen as well. We appreciate your support!!
Really nice game. I love the idea and the art is nice.
We definitely get the creepy feeling from "the god". And I disliked the former ROs (are they still ROs by the way ?). It really shows how you can like some characters and when seeing more sides from them disliking them. It was well done.
I love the start and I'm curious on the developement you will choose.
A couple issues :
1/ The games lagged a lot. £It was difficult to play some of them.
2/ We can't save so it's impossible to test other choices.
3/ We can't reread the history. When you click on it it disappears and advace in the dialogue at the same time.
4/ There was no Hermes image. Too bad because he is definitely my fav' character at the moment ! If he is a RO I will definitely pursue him ah, ah, ah.
5/ I have no idea why but I can't get past the dialogue after coming back from the party ? It's like I tried every texts and it doesn't work so at first previous choices were freeze and I had to restart the dialogue without those choices then no choices at all anymore ? Is it a bug or the end of the demo ? I'm really confused. Please tell me I went to the end and not broke the game.
Hey! Thanks for playing our game. The demo is supposed to "end" after that scene but it bugs out; we'll be adding the remainder of Chapter 1 ASAP. Your save data will carry over and you'll resume in that scene with your data restored.
We're working on improving performance and adding saving and loading in the next build, so we hope you check out what's in store! We've fixed the Hermes bug and will upload that shortly. We hope to make these changes within the next 12 hours.
And just to add onto our lovely team lead, thank you so much for your comments and feedback!
Absolutely, for the former ROs we wanted to have players see new sides, good or bad, to characters that otherwise tend to get glorified. I don't want to spoil too much of the story, but let's just say...the former ROs aren't exactly in a position to be love interests at the moment.
But on the contrary, we have quite the plans for Hermes, and you'll absolutely be able to see more of him in the future. Glad to see you liked him so much!
hey! I'm sorry to hear that. Could you ensure that the .pck file is in the same directory as the .exe, and let me know if any errors show up on launch? Also, the game may take a long time to load upon first opening it, so could you try relaunching and waiting up to a minute and letting us know if that works? Sorry for the wait, we are still trying to figure out how to make the game run on all hardware!
The initial launch will take a while and even appears to be frozen. Could you try relaunching and waiting for up to a minute? Let us know if that works. Thank you!
We think that it might be a RAM issue. We are working on improving the performance of our game and will release a patch to address that soon. Please stay tuned for our update, thank you!
Hello! I really enjoyed what I could play of this game, but I did experience a few issues, and noticed things that I would like to see in a future update.
1. I could not scroll through the text history, after trying to move the slide bar for ages nothing happened.
2. The text would sometimes disappear and then never show up again, so I wouldn't see anything until I could make a choice
3. A Save and load Feature would be nice
4. Once the text tab disappears, there is no way to get it back
5. I see no way to replay the demo from the begining
6. I understand if not, but can I please romance Hermes?
Again, I really enjoyed it and am excited to see what happens next
Thanks for playing our game! We're adding saving and loading in the next build, and fixing a plethora of strange text bugs. We'll also fix the log not scrolling easily. Thanks for your feedback, and I think you'll be satisfied with where you can go with Hermes. :)
I downloaded the newest version, but now I can't play past the end scene of breakfast with the brother, all I get is the sky backdrop and the word false. I also noticed that parts of the god conversation are missing along with the maid changing scene in the morning.
Now a different issue is happening, where the game immediately opens on the morning of the ball, and I'm not allowed to progress past the conversation with the brother right before the ball.
I love the idea, however theres some problems with the game(keep in mind that I simply cant play to the end of the demo-the ball):
What its good:
Concept
Writing
Characters desings (the ones that I could see)
Major issues:
Backgrounds and characters images not loading
Game crashing
Unnable to play the mini games (loading images/crashing issues)
Repeating scenes and not let me choose the same dialogue alredy choosen-If this was supose to be a game mechanics is a bad one
Minor nitpick:
I particularly dont like the option : choose your type of villainess(meek,close the original,innocent,etc) for two reasons:
1.This choose does bassically nothing (dont lock dialogues,characters still treat you more or less the same,etc)
2.The type of villainess the player chooses portray is better demonstrate on the rest of the dialogues/choices, if you wanna the palyer see how theirs villainess is progressing why not put a personality bar in the game ? This way feels less constriged.
Thank you so much for playing our game as it is right now, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to leave your thoughts! The description you may have been looking at earlier is a little outdated, so the scene you're stuck at is our current endpoint for the demo. This was also made during a time crunch for a deadline, and the dev team is actually a bunch of uni students in finals week right now so it will take us some time to fix these issues, but we plan to release the rest of the act (ballroom scene included) after we've worked through a few of the bugs you mentioned. This game is also being built from the ground up in Godot, so we're taking baby steps in things like statistics and gauges. The bug with repeating scenes is absolutely an issue that we're aware of, and we're doing our best to fix that too.
As for the villainess type, thank you so much for leaving feedback on that too.
1. The main purpose of allowing players to choose is to let them have a say in what kind of "villainess" story they want to tell, and these tend to be the common archetypes! They mostly affect narration, but there *is* a big role they play that actually changes what dialogue options you get and the outcomes for it — except this is during the ballroom scene, which is unfortunately inaccessible at this moment. We're working on that too! There are also many changes that you may not notice until on another play-through, but we plan to expand this choice as well.
2. The personality bar is an interesting addition, and we will definitely consider it. We're also working on changing how characters react to which type you choose, so hopefully that is more to your taste then.
But besides that, if possible could you please also let us know which minigames didn't work so we can fix that as well? Thank you so much! So sorry that the version of the game you played isn't at its full best — we hope you'll enjoy the next version once we patch out these issues!

I finally could play it it was really good but then I'm stuck here without explaining is this a bug or what's going on? (after the ball is this scene)

Please provide windows build, I'm really curious about this game
It's up! Thanks for checking us out :D
Is this just me or when I try to download it, for some reason it only has the mac file and no windows files for the game?
Windows build is up! :D
Really nice game. I love the idea and the art is nice.

looks like a great game but i cant really open the game on my pc :(
hey! I'm sorry to hear that. Could you ensure that the .pck file is in the same directory as the .exe, and let me know if any errors show up on launch? Also, the game may take a long time to load upon first opening it, so could you try relaunching and waiting up to a minute and letting us know if that works? Sorry for the wait, we are still trying to figure out how to make the game run on all hardware!
I try to open the file and it freezes and doesn't open :(((
Had to open task manager to close it.
Hi,
The initial launch will take a while and even appears to be frozen. Could you try relaunching and waiting for up to a minute? Let us know if that works. Thank you!
I tried to open it again and waited but this time a box popped up saying
"The instruction at 0x00007FFB2E741C27 referenced memory at 0x0000000000000050. The memory could not be read.
Click OK to terminate program"
Hi,
We think that it might be a RAM issue. We are working on improving the performance of our game and will release a patch to address that soon. Please stay tuned for our update, thank you!
Hi,
We have released a version that improves the performance of our game. Please check it out if you are interested!
I'm sorry to report back with bad news but it stayed on a black page for hours this time and didn't do much when I tried to interact with it. 😥

I am encountering this as well!
Hi,
We have just released the newest patch earlier today. Did the same issue happen in this patch?
Now a different issue is happening, where the game immediately opens on the morning of the ball, and I'm not allowed to progress past the conversation with the brother right before the ball.

Minor nitpick:
I particularly dont like the option : choose your type of villainess(meek,close the original,innocent,etc) for two reasons:
1.This choose does bassically nothing (dont lock dialogues,characters still treat you more or less the same,etc)
2.The type of villainess the player chooses portray is better demonstrate on the rest of the dialogues/choices, if you wanna the palyer see how theirs villainess is progressing why not put a personality bar in the game ? This way feels less constriged.
Thank you so much for playing our game as it is right now, and I appreciate that you've taken the time to leave your thoughts! The description you may have been looking at earlier is a little outdated, so the scene you're stuck at is our current endpoint for the demo. This was also made during a time crunch for a deadline, and the dev team is actually a bunch of uni students in finals week right now so it will take us some time to fix these issues, but we plan to release the rest of the act (ballroom scene included) after we've worked through a few of the bugs you mentioned. This game is also being built from the ground up in Godot, so we're taking baby steps in things like statistics and gauges. The bug with repeating scenes is absolutely an issue that we're aware of, and we're doing our best to fix that too.
As for the villainess type, thank you so much for leaving feedback on that too.
1. The main purpose of allowing players to choose is to let them have a say in what kind of "villainess" story they want to tell, and these tend to be the common archetypes! They mostly affect narration, but there *is* a big role they play that actually changes what dialogue options you get and the outcomes for it — except this is during the ballroom scene, which is unfortunately inaccessible at this moment. We're working on that too! There are also many changes that you may not notice until on another play-through, but we plan to expand this choice as well.
2. The personality bar is an interesting addition, and we will definitely consider it. We're also working on changing how characters react to which type you choose, so hopefully that is more to your taste then.
But besides that, if possible could you please also let us know which minigames didn't work so we can fix that as well? Thank you so much! So sorry that the version of the game you played isn't at its full best — we hope you'll enjoy the next version once we patch out these issues!
