Midnight Garden [DEMO]

Amazing art! Emotional story. Player agency had felt nice.

I love it ! It's a really good story

Beautiful game with astonishing art. Cant wait for continuing of the story.

beautiful eye-catching art!

Beautiful art and very interesting story. I sort of would have liked if the choices led down different paths, but for a short game jam this was really nice!

added a link to itch.io!

good

beautiful!

The art is so stunning, I cannot believe the amount of drawings you did in such a short amount of time with such great quality!

Very good work on art ! Beautiful !! :smile:

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking story so far. I want to know how it ends!

Looks gorgeous and mysterious. So many different backgrounds and character poses!

Character concepts are really cool, I wish the story told us more about the characters, who they are, their personalities.

Good luck to your team in future projects!

So taken aback by the stunningly beautiful art! The story obviously isn't finished (was a jam!), but I'd love to hear how it continues :)

I liked the art and character design, although it would've been nice if our choices mattered even though the story is still short. Nice work :)

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

Nice work with camera!

Good job ! It's a very beautiful start to a novel and the artwork is amazing! :blush:

Wow, guys! Awesome job on the graphics! Really looking forward to seeing a full version of the game!

Gorgeous art!

That's a lovely story so far, but I would have really enjoyed some music to go with it. The UI could also have used some polish, but it's not that important for a visual novel. I'm also pretty sure I spotted some grammatical mistakes.

Other than that, really enjoyable, good job :)

Great, a visual novel!
Thanks for this game, I'm always happy to find some interactive fiction in a gamejam.
What's more, it's a prologue (hehe, we're used to prologues in the interactive fiction community :smile: ).
It's all very beautiful (gorgeous graphics!) and nicely written. I found it a little sad, however, that there was no musical ambience.
Mind you, I don't know where this comes from, but Ren'Py used to show me a “warning: FS error” when a text choice was proposed.
Finally, a little advice from one IF designer to another: the current prologue can end in 2 very different ways (with or without a certain character). However, if it's really a prologue (and you're planning to write the sequel), this fork in the plot will give rise to 2 parallel stories, which may explode your scope... and therefore your writing/development time!
I'd therefore advise you to avoid having these 2 very different ways of finishing the prologue (or to set up an event very quickly in the story, just after the prologue, to have a single plot path again).

Congratulations again!

@liliebagage thank you a lot for such a lovely feedback! your tips/advices are very helpful to keep in mind for the future! we simply turned out to be too inexperienced to think of this during the creation process xd after all, it's just our very first attempt at designing and creating of such a thing as visual novel :D and thanks for nice, kind words again! c:

Beautiful art style, but wish that there was more to the story!

Art is just gorgeous! Good job!

Impressive work and art for such a short amount of time. I am interested where the story will lead. ^^

Great job with the art design, I was attracted by the cover of the game, the colors are perfectly matched. I don't know what the problem is, but I had no sound in the game, although according to the settings it should be. Overall, good job.

Sometimes I get "Warning: write error: FS error". But loved the art and the story of the game. I want more..
