I adore this game so much, every route sold me very fast on the possibility of them ending up together and it's just a nice, cozy time, I found myself smiling a lot while playing :) I also really love Fay's personality!! It's refreshing to have a super defined protag to play as imo, I thought it was fun and they were super endearing to me really fast. Thanks for sharing!
Hi! Achievements haven’t been implemented because the game is quite short, and there would only be about 4 of them... However, if we release another patch, we’ll definitely consider adding them. Thanks for your interest!
Just thought to mention that when buying from this page value added tax is added to the sum based on were you live. So for Finland that means 24 % making 6 $ into 7.44 €. Tiny sums yes but I find this quite strange (it's not a usual practice with games) and luckily the game is available on Steam for 5 euros (about 5.5 $) and that price includes everything, no added costs or taxes when making the purchase. This is NOT critique for Nifty, just surprised me and thought to inform others as well :) Looking forward to playing this! I absolutely loved Royal Alchemist, Royal Order was also good but made too easy in my (seemingly rare) opinion :D
Hello, if you purchased the full version, you will have to download the according version for it. But if not, then you can just play after extraction :D
Ah, many apologies but no. DirectX Runtime is a graphic tool that the game needs to display everything smoothly. So, unfortunately you can't play the game without it.
this game is great!! (≧▽≦) I love zero and damion!! ( ꈍᴗꈍ) but there are sometimes i've been called with the wrong pronouns so if you guys fix that then this game is perfect! keep up the great work!! (≧▽≦)
nah dawg wtf lmao I played the whole game without saving cause I thought it would do an autosave before the exams, and i failed at the reaper AND ALL MY PROGRESS IS GONE LMAO
The artwork! The characters! The voices! The writing! I had an absolute blast playing this game and I'm so glad I found it! I'm also so glad I got to record my experience playing this and I'm 1000% now looking forward to any future games of yours! Highly rated game!
I kinda have a question to ask. As I've never played this game before, I wonder which download I should get (the free version mainly). I have a Windows 10 computer and I don't know if I should get the regular download of this game for Windows or should I get the Windows 32 download of this game.
If you could tell me which is best then I would gladly know.
Oh okay then. Sorry it took me long to get back to you. But, I hope you don't mind though as I've been feeling sick as of late.
Anyways, thanks for the tip. I'll leave a review after I finish a playthrough (from whichever route or ending I may get from dating the characters). So, I'm gonna download the regular Windows of this game.
(P.s, maybe if I get a Windows 11 computer then I hope to record my playthrough one day but for now I just play normally).
I really enjoyed playing this game! The artwork and stories for each of the characters are so good. It looks super professional! It's a great combination of cute and bittersweet at times.
Thank you very much for playing :D We enjoyed your first part of the playthrough very much. You portrayed the MC's personality (including singing!) perfectly!
I loved how happy-go-lucky and enthusiastic MC is. It makes the conversations so lively and cute. The art is adorable as well, but if there's one 'negative' thing its how we can see much of Lawrence ; ;
Could you make an Android version? It'd honestly be a huge savior for me, I wish I could play this game but I only have android and PS4 devices🥲 [just to clear this up, I'm not the original owner of this account, anna quit socials so I'm taking over hers :,)]
I played this on Steam with the game being on season and all... and I enjoyed it a lot!
The dialogue actually entertained me and kept me in focus for the most part, the characters were fun and cute, and I liked the final exam where you get to solve the problems through multiple means (insubstantiate ftw).
Tbh, it was the unique LIs that got me to download the game (you don't get to romance a poltergeist or a frankenstein monster that often...), and well, they're also the ones who made the game for me. I loved Zero to bits. I smile every time he goes on screen; I wish we got to learn more about him (unless I missed it). I'm just curious was his grudge was.
As for the MC... I know a lot didn't like them, but I gave em' a pass cause given the setting of the story, I wouldn't be surprised to see a kooky character like them. Maybe they would have been more likeable if they showed more vulnerability? Like when they were worrying about losing Zero or when they were comforting Damion? They were just too peppy 99% of the time, and it would have been nice to see more sides to them.
Amazing art; the characters and environment are so richly colored. The pathways are cute, yet carry depth. All the nods to classic horror literature were a treat. Bonus points for including the oldest vampire in history as a romanceable option. And this is just a review for the free version. I can't wait to see what else is in store. Will 100% recommend at my panel on visual novels to check out. Excellent work.
Mad props to making most of the pathways free. Even the free version is worth the asking price.
This is the perfect game to sink your teeth into as we're encroaching on spooky season.
A short review for the Free version of the game, 4/10
TLDR: If you don't mind the MC's personality, it's an alright game! It just didn't stick with me. It doesn't hurt to play it since it's mostly free. However it's not a game that I'll personally come back to play again.
I'm not here to review bomb the game. I played through only Zero's route, so it might not be the best review, however I do want to share my experience with the game. It's not bad! But it's not amazing either. The MC came off as pretty annoying imo, I couldn't handle playing more than one route with the MC acting like that. But I did enjoy the general story and interactions with Zero!
The art is amazing! It's really my taste, and probably where most of the points come from. But you can't even view the CGs in a gallery! Really need to add a gallery feature with all the main CG's+Mini CG's. I feel like one CG is very short, even for a free version of this game, at least one more per character would be satisfying.
As someone who only played one route, I might be missing the scene where the MC explains their backstory or something. But imo a backstory to the MC sounds interesting. I want to know why they can't cast a single spell (I know it's kind of explained in the story, but I want a deeper look), how they became a witch, how they became a matchmaker?! It didn't explain any of this in the route I played.
Lastly, a bit more of customization, it might be asking for too much but the mc's smile was kind of annoying me, a smaller smile would've been nicer. Even just more hair colors would be a great addition.
Please don't take this as a hurtful thing, I understand that this game is a bit too old to be reviewed now. I hope this helps at least a little for the devs!
-Pros:
Good art, character designs and concept
Pronouns and MC customization! Love those.
-Cons:
Might have repetitive gameplay
A very obnoxious MC
A bit short (but understandable for the free version)
Hi! I saw this game and really wanted play it but when I downloaded the free version on my Mac and tried to open it -- it said 'Cannot open because the developer cannot be verified. Cannot verify that this app is free.' idk if this is just me -- or if I did something wrong -- but any help is appreciated! This looks like such a good game and I would really like to play it :'[
As someone who has played the demo and LOVED it, I’m curious as to what is included in the Full Version so I can decide whether to purchase it or not. I’m sure it’s probably detailed somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. If anyone could tell me/link me, that would be great!
Absolutely loved playing it! Damion is my favorite character, what a sweet lad. The interactions between the characters are pretty amusing. Just wish there was a non-binary character design selection for Fay.
If this message pops up, it means that your graphics driver is a bit older / not up to date with what's required to play the game. The module that needs to be installed is something officially released by Microsoft Windows. But if you're not too keen on doing that, you'd have to try it on a different machine instead.
If you have any other questions, let us know. Thank you!
I played the Steam version and will be downloading the itch.io counterpart shortly. I loved the game! I got Damion's route and this is one of my favorite visual novels. The only problems I have with it are the forced personality of the MC (I really don't like their insanely high ego) and the MC liking all characters with no apparent backstory with them, save for Zero.

Thank you so much for playing and your kind words!
We are so happy you enjoyed the game and our take on an upbeat and optimistic MC <3
Can I get a Steam for the full version if I bought it here? It says it has one on my purchase page but when I click it doesn't work?
Hello! Can you please try to redeem the Steam key again now and see if it works?
Hey, it worked! Thank you so much <3!
Hello, is your steam version ever going to get steam achievements?
I'd like to buy the full version if you implemented that!
Hi! Achievements haven’t been implemented because the game is quite short, and there would only be about 4 of them... However, if we release another patch, we’ll definitely consider adding them. Thanks for your interest!
i literally love zero sm literally bawls my eyes out
I WISH WE HAD MORE TIME WITH ZERO I LOVE HIM SM
Cute as hell! I love all the love interests (ghost boi is probably my fav tho)! Definitely worth every penny for this spooky/lovely time!

is there a possibility where I don't have to download the extra things after
I extract the files? (to play the game)
Hello, if you purchased the full version, you will have to download the according version for it. But if not, then you can just play after extraction :D
I'm playing on the free windows version, and it tells me I need to install DirectX Runtime, is there any way for me to play the game without that?
Ah, many apologies but no. DirectX Runtime is a graphic tool that the game needs to display everything smoothly. So, unfortunately you can't play the game without it.
carmilla my beloved
I LOVE THIS GAME UJFNDHJJFNBHDJF

Thank you so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed :D
(We do try our best to spot those but some apparently slipped through, whoops. Thanks for the report.)
I love Zero so much, so much. This game is so cute, and really well made, I had a lot of fun!
Thank you so much <3 Glad you enjoyed!
Can you please make a web version or an android version of the game?
nah dawg wtf lmao I played the whole game without saving cause I thought it would do an autosave before the exams, and i failed at the reaper AND ALL MY PROGRESS IS GONE LMAO

The artwork! The characters! The voices! The writing! I had an absolute blast playing this game and I'm so glad I found it! I'm also so glad I got to record my experience playing this and I'm 1000% now looking forward to any future games of yours! Highly rated game!
Version 1.06 is broken it gives a black screen and then just crashes on Linux.
I kinda have a question to ask. As I've never played this game before, I wonder which download I should get (the free version mainly). I have a Windows 10 computer and I don't know if I should get the regular download of this game for Windows or should I get the Windows 32 download of this game.
If you could tell me which is best then I would gladly know.
Hello. You most likely should get the Windows version (since most standard in-builds are not the Win32 version).
Oh okay then. Sorry it took me long to get back to you. But, I hope you don't mind though as I've been feeling sick as of late.
Anyways, thanks for the tip. I'll leave a review after I finish a playthrough (from whichever route or ending I may get from dating the characters). So, I'm gonna download the regular Windows of this game.

Yay that's so awesome to hear! Thank you very much! <3
This was adorable, really sad at alot of times, but it was just amazing, I loved all the endings, but I will one day buy the full version.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked the game :D
What's the difference between the free version and the payed version?
Hello, the paid version has one additional romance route (Lawrence, the werewolf), plus additional CGs and chibi illustrations.
I see. Thank you for the information
THIS IS SUCH A CUTE GAME AAAHH!! 😭💕
So cute! It was a pretty fun game and I loved the cute little chibi-esque drawings :D
Pretty ironic though, that I'm playing this game one week before my exams, instead of studying, haha...
I love Damion
This was so cute! I loved the MC here, and the abiity to custumize them. Very cute and chill visual novel
I loved how happy-go-lucky and enthusiastic MC is. It makes the conversations so lively and cute. The art is adorable as well, but if there's one 'negative' thing its how we can see much of Lawrence ; ;
Could you make an android vers of this?? It'd be so cool!!
Could you make an Android version? It'd honestly be a huge savior for me, I wish I could play this game but I only have android and PS4 devices🥲 [just to clear this up, I'm not the original owner of this account, anna quit socials so I'm taking over hers :,)]
Hello! Sorry for the weird question but is the game SFW and child friendly?
yes my friend
I played this on Steam with the game being on season and all... and I enjoyed it a lot!

Dose anyone know how to make this work on joiplay

Hi! I saw this game and really wanted play it but when I downloaded the free version on my Mac and tried to open it -- it said 'Cannot open because the developer cannot be verified. Cannot verify that this app is free.' idk if this is just me -- or if I did something wrong -- but any help is appreciated! This looks like such a good game and I would really like to play it :'[
Hello! Thank you so much for the interest :D
This issue happens whenever you try to run an app that is not downloaded from the App Store, and the universal solution for that is listed here: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-app-unidentified-developer-3669596/
It's under "How to open apps not from the Mac App Store". We hope that helps!
Ah! Thank you so much! It worked easily, I cannot wait to play the game now! Thank you again for the help! :D
No problem! We hope you enjoy :D
As someone who has played the demo and LOVED it, I’m curious as to what is included in the Full Version so I can decide whether to purchase it or not. I’m sure it’s probably detailed somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. If anyone could tell me/link me, that would be great!
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed :D
The full version contains Lawrence as an additional love interest route, 5 additional CGs, and a whole lot more chibi illustrations!
Absolutely loved playing it! Damion is my favorite character, what a sweet lad. The interactions between the characters are pretty amusing. Just wish there was a non-binary character design selection for Fay.
hello! i want to play this game, but i have a question. when i installed and tried running it, this message was given to me:
"The following component(s) are required to start this program:
Microsoft Visual C + + 2015 Runtime
DirectX Runtime
Would you like to install them now?"
and I'm not too keen on doing that. i was wondering if this was normal, and if it isn't, what should i do? thanks in advance!
