An enjoyable and sweet little game! The character designs and UI work very well together, as does the humour throughout. My favourite design has to be Rosetta, her palette compliments Elderflower's perfectly.
The story itself is wonderfully playful and a welcomed contrast to the jam's more serious entries. I had a lot of fun seeing how each choice affected the endings and their outcomes, as well as the cute moments between Elderflower and Rosetta. Well done! :>
The character designs and the art in general are so bright, colorful, and cute! A special mention must go out to the mustache that matches Elderflower's look, complete with ribbons, and Nivienne's slime hat.
Speaking of Nivienne, I love chaotic witches like her. I support her various causes and her mission to inconvenience the monarchy. I also agree that Eldie's mustache looked great. I think I actually prefer her design with that feature, haha!
Cierre is also likable and relatable. While they might not have fully honed their skills, they have good intentions and they're trying their best, and that's what matters! Their narration made me chuckle so many times.
The music, which was very catchy, made me bob my head at various points. The GUI is very clean and pretty as well. I enjoyed looking at the character art and notes in the Extras.
For the story, I adored the light-hearted tone and the witty humor, which led to many laugh-out-loud moments. I enjoyed clicking through all the choices and seeing how they affected the story in little and not-so-little ways. I liked all four endings. (A fifth ending with a fully-mustachioed kingdom, you say? Yes, please.)
Overall, this has been the cutest and funniest Spooktober entry I've seen so far! Congrats to the team for a job wonderfully done!

A charming wholesome and light hearted story with dialogue that left me cry laughing. Doesn't take itself too seriously. Character designs are on point. Amazing UI Design. Cierre is my favourite golden retriever disaster gay (affectionate).
Would love to know more about this world or story if you ever plan on expanding~

A funny short story with a cast of endearing characters. Nivienne was definitely my favorite character: I love how delightfully air-headed she is, and her gullibility made me laugh a lot. Also, I love how her familiar is her headdress - it's a cute design touch!
Thank you! Niv was a delight to write, her design and personality were both straight from the mind of our character artist, so all due credits for Niv's conception should go to him ^^ I agree on the familiar too, I had so much fun incorporating him!
Thanks so much for playing and sharing your thoughts!
avalon best character <3 the lil slimey sound effects are so cute haha ;w;
short and sweet entry with some utterly adorable character designs and an unexpectedly relaxing lo-fi custom ost. the story is pretty simple and silly, but there's some fun jokes scattered throughout.
also, the ui is very, very pretty owo
for anybody stuck in the extras menu, you can leave it if you press esc on your keyboard. it's a bit unfortunate there isn't a dedicated back button in the extras menu, but it's still functional.
;w; Avalon was our artist Tea's concept! I really liked writing him and Niv, and picking out his sfx ^^ shoutout to Glaneur de sons on freedsound.org for all the bubble sfx they uuploaded!

Nivienne best girl and I 100% agree something must be done about the taxation and the infrastructure and the healthcare.
It's a short and fun game with a really cute cast of characters.
