A fantasy yuri visual novel filled with magic, fairies, and a ghost girl. When Maddie and her best friend, Tara, journey to a remote forest village to investigate rumors of the supernatural, they find a whole lot more than they bargained for.
An 18+ patch is available separately.
I may have trash taste but I liked this more than Moto Racer. :D
Abigail and Maddie are just so adorable together! I also appreciate the fact they don't make too big of a deal of Tara being transgender, though even I'll admit she can be annoying (she is a Youtuber after all...). The plot is pretty basic, but very passable when framed as 'a modern day fairy tale'. *8/10* for me but your mileage may vary, obviously.
For some reason the font too big on first launch. I had to go into the options to change it. Visual novels have one job to do and they mess it up anyway, ugh. Other than that, I was pleasantly surprised by all the accessibility options. The developer went so far as to release their Ren'Py accessibility features as a third-party library, including Linux support. I personally don't need these options, but it was fun to go through the 18+ patch sections of the game with narration by the sexy `espeak` text-to-speech.
