Surprisingly high quality

CalamariQueen

I didn't expect anything from this game, but the minute after playing the prologue I bought all four routes at once haha... I loved it. The art, plot style, character design, and the music are pretty great. Very short, and I wish it had more characters, but it was worth it for me. Something this quality is so rare. I play almost every otome on iTunes and they're all a little.... hmm. This one is my favorite by far. I kind of hope for a sequel or something new to come out! I will buy all of it! Truly hope this artist and app developer make more things. I'm a fan for life now!

Potential marred by awkward translation

R@nd0mg@m3r0123

In terms of art, music, story, and characters it looks to be a good mobile otome and none of that "free" wait or pay to play stuff. Just pay once and go. That's nice. It looks like there is an option to play for free and wait if you want to though. The problem is it seems to be hidden under an awkward translation. I recommend having someone comb through it and fix it and then include it in a update. It looks so promising but it's a shame how awkward the translation is. It feels dry and stiff if that makes any sense. I want to give this four or five stars but can't when the translation is the way that it is. If you can get over that go for it but keep it in mind.

Beautiful Art, Great Story

Okay, so the translations aren't amazing, but its gotten better. I kind of tuned out the typos and was fully immersed in the story. There is a main story and a sequel; each story is 10 chapters and two endings; the first one has a free prologue. Technically you can play the story for free. You get thirty coins a day and it takes forty to read a chapter. I just bought all four routes for $12.99 so I didn't have to wait. The artwork is beautiful, like something I expect to see from a big company like Otomate. The stories were very fun and I love the character designs. I would definitely recommend it! Route order would be Shiba-Nagi-Ray-Natsume. I liked Natsume the best, but the other boys were also very adorable!

Rated 2.5 Stars

I haven't purchased any of the routes yet, but here's my first impression of this game: The artwork is breathtakingly beautiful and the music is aurally pleasing, which gives off a gothic/spooky vibe that fits perfectly in the story; the characters are interesting and I really enjoy the fact that they're monsters from the Western versions, which is something I haven't seen in otome games yet; and so far I found the plot very interesting, BUT the translation in this game became a major deal breaker. Even though there's no typos or misspelled words, the dialogue felt really awkward and some of the grammar was messed up. Here's a dialogue example from Shiba's route: "When the teacher asked you to be my supporter, you also replied him that you didn't mind to be." ... "...bones. The zombie will become bones?" "Yes. Didn't you know that?" "I don't know. It's also my first time to see a zombie. Oh, yeah. Why do you want to come here? The zombie is...indeed...being sheltered, right? For the reason...prevent being infected...? Oh...! Yeah! I will be infected something from you!" I love this game and want to play it, but I just can't get past the very bad and awkward grammar. If this company gets a better translator, then I'll gladly buy the stories.

Fantastic but the translation needs fixing.

Everything about the game draws my attention and I really want to play the game, but the translation is bad and hard to understand. It feels like google translate was used. I'd definitely would buy the routes if the translation is fixed. It seems like an amazing game.

Good

I'm really excited for more otome games. The graphics are great! The translation isn't that great. I can understand most of the story except for a few things. I love the CGs I get with it. I hope the translation gets better and they come out with more stories.

They need to fix translations

I love the graphics in the game, but the sentences make no sense sometimes. If they could fix it then I would buy the routes.

Translation needs to be fixed

Sciarappa

I really want to play this game. The art is breathtaking and the characters are amazing. The story seems to be entertaining and I really love the whole monster spooky vibe that's going on. But unfortunately the translation is terrible. There is absolutely no way to choose the correct answer when given a choice because of the poor translation and it also makes it very hard to follow the story line. I won't be buying any routes until it is fixed. I really hope they fix it though because it looks so good and I am extremely excited for it. The art man it's so beautiful pls fix the translation

Please Fix

I can't understand a single word. At least the art is pretty.

It pretty good... BUT

Stephen \(;_;)/

I really like this game and it pretty good and all the characters are like able (except the vampire he's a jerk) but I do think that it is pretty overpriced in game. It costs $4 USD to unlock all the chapters for one character and it costs $13 USD to unlock all chapters for all four of the characters.only the prologue and the first chapter for each character is free. But there is only 10 chapters and two endings per character so the game feels really short. I really want to like this game more but it's pricey and it does not last that long \(;_;)/
