I would love to review this game for the SWAK jam, but I'm running into issues. There was a bug in day 2 with the herbology minigame (it froze and wouldn't allow me to do anything so I had to force close). It is now not rebooting properly at all. I'll probably have to do a fresh install and hope it works.

Besides that major issue, the game does not want to full screen properly for me; when fullscreen it's too large and cuts off the right side of the game entirely, and there is no place to change what screen resolution to use. Instead, I had to stretch the windowed mode to accommodate, which works but isn't ideal.

Also, while this is perhaps a nitpick from me being spoiled by ren'py all these years, I find myself missing some of the useful integrated features and UI interactions. In particular, I'm wishing for an easy way to load a save. I do like reloading frequently to see the results of different choices. The only way I could figure out to do that in this game is by going to the settings page (which I kept forgetting which one was which bc the UI/UX elements are all custom lol I kept clicking all three options before getting to what I wanted), then clicking the title screen button there (which has a yes/no confirmation), then the load menu, THEN actually selecting the file I wish to load. This is wildly inefficient compared to a simple right click > load > choose file setup.

Gripes aside, what I was able to play so far, I liked. The art is beautiful, the voice acting is high quality, and I was curious about how the story would continue. Once it has a bugfix pass, I'm sure it'll be a great story.
