Very cool prologue, many choices and options... and texts are greats. I love all of that, thank for your job! I hope a update soon, but thanks for the experience
usually i dislike stories that start out from someone else's pov but yours pleasantly surprised me, i like how you incorporated character customization into it
It's wonderful to see that you're still active. I love the updates and the additions made to the prologue. Each of the branches is so well done and I love the changes in the text depending on the personality and route (with Odile) that is chosen. I'm impressed with the branching available from just the prologue. My personal favorite is the fiery personality with an antagonistic Odile path since it allows us to clearly see the conflict between Odile and the MC due to Rothenbard.
I also adore the POVs that we've been offered so far for Leir and Odile. The pressure being placed on Leir as the future ruler and their still existing attachment to MC (which I'm sure will have more complexity to it if you choose an MC with a personality that was similar to Leir's father or a fiery personality that tested Leir's patience). Then, there is the conflict within Odile, who is struggling with the guilt over what Rothenbard did and their inability to do anything as well as the emotions that MC is stirring in them.
gODS the only complaint I have is that I can't binge this all in one go yet! The writing is so good, I love the customization and the feel I've gotten from the story already! Def gonna keep an eye on this! <33
* screams in lowercase * Ohh this is so so so wonderful! The amount of care on the instructions and all is so user friendly with the hinted symbol and all. The story is fantastic and the way my face dropped when I found out I hve arrived to the end of this wonderful story! I'm so so relieved this is not abandon! I can't wait! Have the most amazing day :))))
I'm so happy to see the story isn't abandoned i can see it easily being one of my favorites. The writing is simply beautiful honestly. It is so easy to get lost in the short demo that it's scary. Looking very much forward to seeing a future update. Really well done.
I just came across your story and I think its fantastic. Your writing is very captivating and even though the demo was short, it was very well written and I'm already itching for more. Looking forward to more updates👍
Is this story still in development or is it an abandoned game? The concept is so cool and I'm already in love with both of the characters from that one short demo! Loved the writing style and I really hope there are more chapters to come...
Hello! The story is very much not abandoned, I had to stop writing for life/work reasons but hopefully I will now be able to finish the next update :D Glad you enjoyed the demo, thanks for reading!! xx
I found the demo very intriguing and I adore your writing style! This is the retelling I didn't know I needed. Also, Odile with xe/xyr pronouns is genius and I love xyr personality already
Fingers crossed that you're able to continue working on this bc I am invested :))
Hi! I've been visiting this IF very often, and by the way I love everything about it already! I wanted to know if you have a planed date for the next release? (Sorry for bothering you)
Hi there!! That's very kind of you, thank you for reading and I'm glad you like the demo so far <3 My initial plan was for an update to be posted this month but unfortunately my new job is extremely time-consuming. That, and my laptop broke- I tried to earn enough commission money to replace it before June started but couldn't, and I'm have a lot of trouble typing on my phone so I've written next to nothing for the whole month of May. I'm hoping I'll get to have the update ready by the end of the summer, but I can't give a specific date for the release, sorry!
It's alright! Things happen! I do hope things get better though, May and June didn't seem to help you much. Also take care of yourself. The story is amazing, but for it to continue it needs a healthy author too. (Thank you for answering my question.)
This is so lovely! As a child I loved the swan princess fairy-tale and ahhhh I'm so happy there's an IF-esque rendition that exists. (And the writing is very good, so I'm going to be eagerly waiting for more :D)
The writing is so lovely, and the premise is so interesting!!! The demo as it is right now is quite short but I'm already enamoured! I'm very excited to see how the story goes, I'm looking forward to the next update! <3

I already love Odile oh my 🤭
I like this loose retelling quite a bit, it has a more personal haunting to it that is lip smacking good. I hope this is still being updated!

Oh! I hope everything is alright, don’t rush!! And it’s reassuring to know that it’s still in development, I’m in love with this idea already <3
I've come back to this close to a year since it's was published still as great as I remember I hope a chapter gets released eventually
it was amazing! (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡
Tchaikovsky's music for Swan Lake is in the public domain and would add to Swan Song if you incorporated it into the game.
NOOOO don't let it end thereee! Suchh an interesting concept and I really do hope you continue this, love the characters already!

<3 Thank you for reading!!!!
Great so far! Kinda bored in the beginning and a tiny bit mixed up but I figured it out! :
Ahh, I'm sorry if you felt like the demo was boring or confusing! Happy you ended up enjoying it anyways though, thanks for reading :D
It's okay lmao! It's probably just me because I don't really process things that quick.
The writing is so lovely, and the premise is so interesting!!! The demo as it is right now is quite short but I'm already enamoured! I'm very excited to see how the story goes, I'm looking forward to the next update! <3
Thank you for reading and for the lovely compliments, so glad you enjoyed the demo so far!! xx
