First, I just want to say that I have been absolutely hooked on this game! I have played for well over 3 days now, and am proud to say I have gotten all the lady deaths, the cinderellas, and the assassins! I've been trying to complete all of the achievements, but I think I must be overlooking something? Especially for the gift combos and the looking at everything achievement, I created a list, and I swear I've done everything possible. If you could please give me any pointers, even a quick hint for how to get every achievement, I would be so so grateful! Thank you so much for making this amazing game, I'm having so much fun!!
Heyyyy!!!! I played the game a coupple times and i really enjoy it, i am a bit surprised that i have only seen a few lady deaths even if i played it it more than 20 times and i dont imprisionate anyone. Its also one of my favorite games overall. luv it owo<3
Hii thank you so much for leaving a comment, we're glad you liked the game>< the deaths are completely random so theres no way to see all the cgs except pure speedrun i guess! Thank you again owo -A
Hello! Is there any chance you'll add a Gallery in a future update? It felt like it was the only thing missing for me :,o
Hiii, there is actually an in game gallery- ish item! You can see all the unlocked cgs by clicking on the lady potraits on the achievements section of the journal, but as for a proper gallery with everything in one place, we'll see what we can do! Thank you for playing!!! -A
OMG thanks!! I didn't notice it had more pages >w>
The game is wonderful btw!!! One of my all-time favorites
tysm omg youre so sweet ><♡ -A
Why doesn't Gwynne want to be my Cinderella even though my love bar is full? D'':
She broke my heart
*cries*
Hi, I remember that "pronoun choice" used to be listed in the games features, was is implemented into the final game? If yes, where can I choose which pronouns to use?
Hi, unfortunately we weren't able to implement the pronoun feature as we thought it took away from the "stupid prince" narrative we wanted to tell! So sorry for the inconvenience!>< -A
i noticed gwynne had 0% in statistics and I sought to get her ending, but I found out the hard way no matter what you can't pick her. really sad because I really like her!
We stan Lady Anastasia
Loved your video so much! Just watched the jewell one too!! Thank you for playing!!>< -A
sorry i need more help for finding the killer. I CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME! i use james clues i get it wrong. i try and talk to the ladies there's a limit of three. i don't know what to do anymore. i read most of the comments here that once i get the hang of it i will figure it out. PLEASE I NEED MORE HELP THAN THAT. i don't mean to be rude but please ;(
Hello, don't lose hope, you got this!
Here's a hint: try playing a few games first without doing anything but investigating three different ladies each day based on their alibi - the assassin always slips up and makes a mistake in theirs! Once you figure out the pattern, you should be able to use the alibis together with the protect/execution/imprisonment mechanics to narrow down the list of suspects. Please let us know if you need more help! -M
hello, thank you for the advice btw i followed it and it helped a lot. the way i did it was to first focus on finding the witch then romancing the ladies. i still don't understand what the imprisonment mech does tho. i thought it made it so no one can have an alibi with them but it seems that isn't the case? in the end it boiled down to guessing and it seems the witch roates in a pattern so its not as random as i thought. anyway thank you very much for the advice this game has grown on my so much. ALSO THE LORE OF THE prince atleast to me is so funny. like bro just forgot about his childhood friend and he don't even bat an eye. lmao he is so dum.
tried to pick gwynne for cinderella but there was an error saying that the event didnt exist, what do i do???
Hello, thanks a lot for letting us know!
It is indeed a bug, other players already reported it to us well - I've just uploaded a new build with a fix so please download the latest version before playing again!
Please let us know if you encounter any further issues. We hope you're enjoying the game! -M
I really love the writing and art. But the game kept crashing on the final night with Anastasia. And the painting minigame felt really imprecise, i needed to click like the exact pixel.
I'm still going to keep playing for now but i hope the crashing gets fixed somehow. Idk if theres a space to share error logs. Idk how it even happened the scene just loaded and then closed. and the second and third time i tried, it crashed after the first painting minigame
Hello and thank you for the bug report! ><
We're aware of the bug in Anastasia's final night and it should be fixed now - I've just uploaded a new build with a bunch of other bug fixes as well so pls make sure you have the latest version when playing again!
As for bug reports or any additional feedback, please feel free to write here, on Steam or in our Discord. We're trying to do our best and monitor everything so please let us know if you encounter any further issues.
We're glad you like the game so far! Sorry again for the inconvenience. -M
Thanks for the quick patching.
i'm just more frustrated with finding the assassin. I honestly see no correlation between what James tells you and what investigating the ladies do. And like if I imprison or protect someone, wouldnt they be unavailable to spend the night with anyone else? But theres been plenty of times I ask someone what they were doing and they say they were with someone they couldnt have and were innocent. And sometimes they just dont murder anyone if they were left alone so I don't see what benefit imprisoning does.
James's clues aren't always very trustworthy, we wouldn't recommend relying on them alone to find the assassin since they might and might not point you to the correct group. Imprisoning/protecting someone apply only to the assassin's actions that night (e.g. imprisoning the assassin means they won't murder anyone that night, although the assassin might not murder anyone even if left alone), the daily alibis don't currently tie into that. However, we see how that might be confusing since the Prince specifically asks about the last night, we'll try to make it more clear. Thanks a lot for the feedback! -M
Wow, I'm really impressed! I found the game by chance on Reddit and it turned out to be a gem! It has the perfect balance of comedy and mystery and I could tell it was made with love. Great work! Totally recommended.
Thank you so much! We're glad you like it!♡
hi! this game is really cool! i love the concept of amongus mixed with dating/romancing princesses LOL however i have a few questions!
what do the 'Cinderella Statistics' mean? and are there any hints on how to find the assassin?
Hello, thank you so much!! We're glad you think it is nice><
Cinderella statistics basically show how many players have won the cinderella ending for a particular lady!
The assassin searching is pretty easy once you figure it out. Without spoiling, a simple hint would be to just investigate and crosscheck the clues! Thank you for your interest in our game♡
Hi! Is the demo still available to download? I don't see any "download" button and when I click the link on the demo #1 and demo #2 devlogs they take me to the main page. It might just be me being stupid and not seeing where is it, but if I can still download it I would really appreciate if someone told me where can I do it.
Hello, currently you are not able to play the demo because the full game will be releasing in a few weeks! We are so sorry for the inconvenience :"D
If that's the case then I can't wait to play the full game! Thanks for the info :)

Thank you very much!!! We hope you enjoy it when it comes out! <3
anyone else love how the youtube external link takes you to never gonna give you up song 🤣
This was a fun experience, played it when i saw the post on visual enthusiaston a facebook group and decided to test it, surpasses my expectation on how the story went and its mechanics, very unique and fun artstyle to have.
i do wonder, hows the development of the game? or do you have other projects beside this one? if so then I volunteer to try out your projects such as this one and glad to cooperate for making your projects a much better game.
Hallo and thank you, the game is very much alive and we're posting progress on our twitter, there's actually a mew demo coming out on the 17th next week!! Though you can check out our other project Ivy&Blue where helped out with the art and coding!! Thank you again, we are happy you liked!!!
Halooo!! just wondering how u guys been doing lately
Halooo! Thanks a lot, we're doing great, the game is very much in development and we'll be posting new updates soon! ;)) ;)) Thank you for interest!
Mind if i ask, do u guys have discord server other than twitter? :D
thanks for the amazing game the girls all have strong personalities and i am excited to get to know more of them especially horse girl Katarzyna Von Liechtenstein and the prince mispronounce her name more (maybe you could include a pronoun choice in the next update?)
Thank you for your kind words, we're glad you liked it! The pronoun choice is something we thought about and we'd like to have it too - we'll see what we can do!
Love the artstyle. Really funny game, enjoyed the experience and looking forward to the completed product. 😁
Thank you very much! We hope to see you in the final game then!! OwO
I enjoyed it so much! Although I definitely fumbled through the gameplay a lot but the art was so beautiful and the dialogues were icing on cake (You can see the effect lady anna belle had on me heh). I can't wait to play the whole game when it's out and unlock EVERYTHING. Great work on everyone's part!!
Thank you so much for pkaying and for your sweet words owo
This demo has so many charms - the art, the humor, the game play. It took around an hour for me to find the assassin (it was Lilly ;v; rip my fav) and finally marry Lady Anna Belle. I had fun figuring out the correct dialogue and gifts in the meantime ^^ I was surprised at how profound Anna Belle's insights could be. The prince's stupidity is definitely one of the best parts. I'm looking forward to the full game and new assets. I hope for lots of interaction between all of the cast. Kudos to the amazing devs!
Aaa tysm for playing!! We'll try our best for future updates!! <33
The demo was so fun, I can't wait for the full game! I love Lady Anna Belle but I'm most excited for Sophie and Maria.
Ah, thank you v much, we're glad u enjoyed! well, who knows, maybe the next update will feature them, no promises, but we hope youll stay around owo
the programmer must be excellent in his job and the designs are amazing. looking forward for more .
tysm friend!! the other dev is also excellent in their job lolol owowowowo, pls play next updates too
I REALLY LOVED IT! I LOVED HOW EVERYTHING WAS BASICALLY AN ANIMATION WITH THE BLUSH CHANGING ALL THE TIME AND THE GAME AND ART STYLE ARE SO STRONG AND SCRIBBLY AND UNIQUE!!! I'M SO EXCITED FOR MORE!!!!!!!!!!! IT LOOKS SO GOOD SO FAR!! THE BGS ARE SO NICE OMG
AAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH!! HOPE TO SEE YOU IN FUTURE UPDATES OWO
I really enjoyed this game , being my first VN game I didn't knew what to expect but after the game I was impressed by the game mechanics, the interactions , the screen freedom to interact were all spot on. The game visuals were so beautiful and the art style was amazing , the background music were fitted exactly according to the ongoing scene . overall a great, fun, interactive game ...........
thank you, friend, glad to hear that owo
