Premise:
A newly declared keeper, you realize life hasn’t changed much when you’re attacked by werewolves over the summer. With the aftermath of a demon attack to deal with, the kidnapping of a girl who isn’t supposed to exist, and more Magic Theory homework than ever, you know that your sophomore year at New World Magi Academy is shaping up to be a killer. Hopefully not literally.

By the way, when I set my MC’s personality I chose that she was incredibly sweet/nice but my cruel stats got raised instead. Just wanna report that.

Edit: just double checked and it seems like the options are raising the wrong stats. The cruel option raises kindness and the kind option raises cruelty.

I noticed that too, but it’s just with the cruel/kind stat pair. Everything else seems to be working fine.

I am barely 20 choices in and I already made Seraphina smile!:scream:

I consistently implied or out right said that my grades were of greater concern than the possibilities of monster attacks.

Slight spelling mistake

You smile back at her. “You said that you were going abroad, din’t you?” She’d mentioned an hour before her flight that she wouldn’t be available most of the summer for that reason. “France, right?”

Should be didn’t.

I chose the bottom most answer. What did I say?

Telling her about the Olympics really made her smile to lol.

Out of curiosity are going to do the whole romance from the previous book into demo. Like a option at the beginning asking if you dated anyone? Love it by the way!

Oh! A driad. Very nice. She seems like your typical over worked college junior, the career anxiety is a nice touch.

Go to set stats directly for that.

I love that this demo opens with the same line as its predecessor. The new read-out relationship stats are fancy. I’ve always favored them, so it’s cool to see that implemented in such a relationship-heavy game.

2 Likes

Yeah. You have an option to choose how high/low your relationship stat is with the characters and if you’re dating or not.

Yes! I can continue to torment astrid with my patronage of Kerse.

Can I endorse Kerse during my keeper status reveal in september?

Sera utterly confused by ships.
“Yes Sera! We’re someone’s OTP!”

Rare Seraphina smile moment 10/10.

When looking at the couple photo of MC and Cyrus, the text reads: “It’s of you and Cyrus at the duelist arena after one of her matches” instead of his.

The joke is canon, Leon has a fan club :rofl:

Summary


By the way, here’s a few suggestions:

Summary


I think you should remove the not from the sentence. Unless you’re implying that this Reyna is just a fever dream/illusion and not the real Reyna, but the sentence would sound much smoother without it. The player already knows that it’s a dream since it is very obvious.

illuminating

You’re here to escort me sounds less awkward. I don’t know, but one word can make a huge difference.

I love what I’ve read so far. And I’m sorry if my suggestions weren’t adequate enough, it’s 4 AM and I might’ve gotten something wrong. Good luck on the sequel, author, we’re all supporting you! :heart:
