Personalities, attitude towards MC. I’m not sure what does “matching with MC mean” but I don’t see a reason for my MC to be interested in them. Commoner MC just trying to get a job and one noble empoyer is flirting with him, another gives unreasonable tasks and another is trying to kill. That’s seems troublesome to me, not romantic.
fair enough! Those three haven’t assured the best of welcomes. Although we are just at the start, maybe your MC might find them more likable later on! Or maybe not, who knows
I love it, I hope I can have more cheery choices in a platonic way. Keep it up author
I’m curious, I haven’t fully seen the demo yet, but in the future will we be able to create our MC’s background? It would be interesting to delve deeper into our MC and everything
While the main aspects of your background are set (you come from a poor family of farmers from a small rural town, and your mother is dead) you will be able to decide some things, such as for example if you’ve had lovers in the past.
Let’s try this one out. I must admit the Victorian Age is RARELY my jam, but it IS good for horror and mystery stuff.

I think you meant “adrenaline” here.
Either “where” is “that” instead, or no “in front of”
“the sight of which”
Missed capitalisations.
I feel like that ship has sailed, buddy.
General observation: you have capitalised words after speech quite a few times, and they shouldn’t be there. E.g. (among others), any situation that is “things he said”, he said, should not have the pronoun capitalised, even if you end the speech with a period. SO FAR, it hasn’t hampered understanding of the text, but you might want to go through the text and fix it regardless.
So, I’m finding this sentence a bit confusing - a year’s salary BETTER make me a living for entire months, seeing as a year is, y’know, 12 of those. Meaning I’m definitely missing what you mean here. Additionally, you have two dashes after it.
Ok, going further I see you double dash a lot (by which I mean everytime). Is there a reason you do that?
Wait, who wrote me the letter, then? Was it A?
Suggestion: add the RO’s descriptions to their stats screen.
Uncapitalised.
“your”
Extra comma.
Wrong pronoun.
Alright, so, you can only meet three of the four so far, correct? You either go to the garden and meet H or stay in and meet S.
Anyway, the whole mystery thing has potential (and I think I’m going to see how much I can sass H before they try to stab me in the face, just for funsies), so I’m looking forward to see where this goes.
just read it and loved it.
i intend to romance rowan. the thing is my character is kinda professional and inscrutable so I dont know how this is gonna work lol.
cant wait to see where this goes.
I’m glad you decided to give this a try even though it’s not your usual go-to setting! Hope you’ll like it moving forward (and good luck with H )
edit: i had not clicked the read more toggle LOL. Thank you for the help with the typos etc… would you perhaps be available as Beta Reader? (jk) (or not i need help). Also yes, you either meet H or S.
it’s hopefully going to be a really fun dynamic between a serious and professional MC and, well, R. Glad you loved it!
Man I am obsessed with the romantic potential to come from Arlen and my clumsy!sunshine!MC Is there going to be a possible way for our character to be completely oblivious to the ominous mystery in the household? Because then this would be my dream game I swear to god. If not, I’m going to try my damned best to just make my MC ignore it all and simp after the head of the house.
Wonderful writing! Even the background characters had a lot of life and I loved them too. It’s such a fun story for how creepy the setting is.
I can’t remember who it was, but climbing the tree to get the sketch and falling out of it only for S or H to care about the drawing instead of my MC’s likely snapped spine made me burst out laughing. 10/10 would read again.
Stone cold A and sunshine MC is something I am a sucker forr
I will absolutely give options to decide just how far you want to dig in the mysteries… however, be warned, the MC will eventually get dragged into the mess whether they’re oblivious or very aware that there’s something wrong with the Manor’s history!
And that was S I was also grinning like a fool while writing that bit. they just have very set priorities in place lol.
I’m not sure if I’m going to ROMANCE them, but sass? Oh, yes, sass them for sure. Also gonna headbutt with S for fun and games.
What does this entail, above and beyond reading and commenting on the demo as you update it?
I could send you the updates a couple of days before posting them so you can help to correct eventual typos/weird sentences/bugs… but I know it’s a bit of a commitment so it’s okay if you wouldn’t feel up to it! I will make a post specifically to find beta readers eventually I think because the amount of text is starting to be a lot for just little old me
Oh, I can do that, sure. Like, I can’t OFFICIALLY commit to it, because sometimes I get urgent work projects dropped in my lap and I basically do nothing else for like half a week, but if you, I dunno, DM a link to the beta… demo… thingie, I can DM you back with anything I find when I have time.
That would be nice, thank you! I might take you up on it then, eventually, without any pressure/expectation.
Sebastian’s intro straight up made me decide on picking his path I love how you can shape your personality in conversations with the ROs, which in return affect the different parameters of your relations to them. I also like how the stats are designed in general Keep up the great work(at a comfortable pace!) Looking forward to how MC can handle the job in future updates!
Thank you! I’ve put a lot of consideration into how to make the stats work, so I’m glad you like them ^^ and glad you like S ehe
This is sooo good! Good job! Just a question, will we be able to choose our height and body type?
Also will it have adult stuff or?
Thanks!
tysm ^-^ your nice words mean a lot.
I had been thinking about custom height… It’s just a bit of work (the Ro’s heights change based on whether they are male or female, so a very tall male MC will be the same height as Arlen but a bit taller than Alice for example) so i’ve been putting it off lol. I will see if I find the courage to incorporate it
As for body-type, I think I will just leave it up to the reader’s imagination, at least for the time being.
Also yes, I do plan to add adult content, but I will probably leave it up to the player if they want to read it or skip it.
So I found this a couple weeks ago and have been loving every second of it. I like the idea of playing as a sort of Butler/Head Maid that really just is there to try and tamp down on the weirdness. From the demo, it seems like I can at least play some of the part of the harried and put-upon butler trying to keep things neat and tidy.
I did notice a couple sections that some of the nitty-gritty grammatical things could be tweaked to be a bit cleaner but it’s very well written as well!
But regardless, 10/10 Demo and looking forward to seeing what comes next!
