This game was ADORABLE! The room customization mechanic was so cute (I made a beige room with a single pumpkin and nothing else). I really dislike clowns, generally, so it surprised me when I found myself super endeared to Cherise. I really liked Mari’s design, too (she’s chubby and ADORABLE!) and how she wanted to overwork herself and help others instead of focusing on herself. Overall, it was a lovely VN and I really enjoyed it.

A little gameplay, a little critique ;)

I doubt this is what its supposed to look like

A very stylized and impressively designed short visual novel with very real (even if they are magical) and likable characters and situations. Even thought is short I can already see the seed of a incredible game, I will be looking forward to the full version whenever it comes!

There is obviously a few things to work on here and there but nothing worth mentioning, specially because this was a demo, overall a very enjoyable experience.

Keep up the good work!

This was a fun experience. I liked the art and the story was sweet. Besides the lovable characters, I also enjoyed the light world building. The ending is quite jarring though, as the screen just cuts back to the main menu.

Quick impressions
-not a typical visual novel UI; I'm used to forward/back/etc buttons at the bottom so it takes some getting used to
-no keyboard hotkeys that i'm aware of...
-Cherise is adorable and a treasure; I'm usually not a fan of people in that line of work, tryin to avoid any spoilers; let's just say Cherise changed my mind a bit :)
-it would be interesting if the Carnival area had a daytime image/mode in addition to the existing nighttime one
-noticed a few spelling/grammar errors here and there that may have slipped through; this is a demo so no biggie

Overall really fantastic cute story.  The stuff with Cherise was unexpected but very wonderful to see :)

Takes about ~30 mins to complete with a decently-fast reading speed.
