Didn't realize this after playing and the emotional impact leaving me to think about it after my rating... The story of Dolchio was more than I thought.
(SPOILERS)
We never got to see what Dolchio, Grandma or lles wrote but Noel asked the King to help him find his family and he did when Grandma turns out to be his own Grandma as well! So, we can also assume that Grandma asked to bring back Noel to her and perhaps why she didn't send her letter because it is impossible especially when Noel could be anywhere and ran away by himself. She could have prevented Dolchio from going outside for the same reason.
Dolchio's letter could contain something about being human or family/friends? I am not really sure as the ending sequence may hinted something else. He was always referred as automaton and so I believe he wishes to be outside that frame. Or possibly have friends as he is so lonely at home with Grandma.
lles is tricky as he didn't show much desire like the others. Similar with Dolchio as their stories do align pretty well!
I like this cute game I wish that the game was longer bc of the short play time makes the game pacing a bit off the story great and simple with small themes and I want to see your next work also where can the soundtrack be found.
I really love this game, the art style is so pretty and the story was interesting :) This game is a huge improvement from your previous one :D Are you planning on making any other games?
AAAH thank you so much!! I'm so happy you love the game!! <3
And I'm glad you thought it was an improvement!! :'] This game was so fun to make!!
Yep!! I'm definitely planning on making more games! I'm currently working on my next game, Case File: Poe, which will be a supernatural mystery!! >:] thank you for asking, because now I think I should post the devlog here on itch.io hehe
This was absolutely wonderful!! I adored the art, it was such a pleasing style and really suited the mood of the game, and the story itself was beautiful - so nicely paced, such a brilliant atmosphere (from optimism to trepidation to almost horror to sheer joy!) and a genuinely enjoyable main cast ❤ Dolchio's growth through his adventure was so well done - it felt completely organic - and it all built it up a very satisfying ending. What a treat this was!
THIS GAME HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL I CAN'T BELIVE IT I CAME ACROSS IT JUST NOW!!!??? GREAT JOB.
no but seriously this game deserves way more attantion and recognition. The artstyle, the music AND THE ATMOSPHERE is absolutely magical! So much effort and soul put in it... JUST WOOOOOWZIES :))))
ohhh this was sooo cute ;_; i just finished playing! i really like the king...and the idea of a wind up doll character is so cute! such a nice little storey
I got a error but this time in dolchio! When i try to go left untill gap the game crashed with an error! The error says Failed to load: audio/se/Cursor1.ogg did i do something wrong?
That's interesting... I downloaded, extracted, and tested the game out again myself and I didn't run into this issue.
Maybe it's a glitch with how it extracted or downloaded onto your computer since that type of error only comes up when there's a missing file. Can you try downloading the game again?
I really like how Dolchio was so naive at the beginning, letting himself to get tricked by people to being able to trick the automaton king himself. I'm a sucker for character developments like this. :')
I liked the overall comfy feeling of the game, with a likable cast of characters. Although I didn't see the plot twist coming so kudos to that. I released at the perfect time where we still have Christmas on our minds. (Despite me playing it a week later)
Very late to say this, but again, here to say the game is fantastic! I enjoyed every bits of it. Not bad! I also LP'd this, however I don't have a commentary of it so yeah.
A little late, but I just finished the game and it was fantastic! Story and characters were both incredible and the atmosphere really screams Christmas!!! I'm a sucker for found family themes so this was like *chef's kiss*. The darker undertones also reminded me of old children's movies that are terrifying in retrospect and gave me nostalgic feelings. All the vibes were there and the ending was so wholesome I wanted to cry my eyes out with a cup of cocoa wehhh 10/10 !!
AAAAA right when im making this comment, tears almost started falling out. Even though it's a short but pretty long gameplay, I really enjoyed it! The plot of the story, the art and the characters are very good!! Im very satisfied after playing this and that ending after the credits made me a bit emotional. I look forward to more games that you might create in the future :D
This was such a lovely game to play! The art is adorable and clearly has a lot of time and care put into it- the lore and the worldbuilding is also amazing. I did find one typo though, when the real king says "enough," at one of the end scenes, it's misspelled as "eniugh." Thank you for this wonderful experience!
I'll just put a comment thread here for any bug or glitch update :)
I believe the game still works if you copy and paste your save files folder from the old game version into the updated folder, but if not please let me know at what part of the game you were at to provide you a game with a save file up to that point ^^
