This was so amazing! This is one of the best IF games I've ever played- if not the best game I've ever played. Please keep it going- I need to know how it ends lol, it's my new favorite game. Thank you so much for your hard work on this!! (:
Well, I guess I could by giving the obvious spoiler warning!
I've played visual novels before, but I assume interactive fiction is different, right? With that being the case, this must be my first one! And what a magnificent introduction!
Right off the bat, I must say the sheer amount of customisation had me FLOORED. It really immerses the player, and boy did it immerse me. Right from the get go, the story had me hooked and kept me hooked. (awaiting further updates with impatience, but in a good way)
Can't reitterate how inspiring and underrated this is. I found myself feeling guilty, like I somehow pirated something that I should gave paid GOOD money for. A stranger's oppinion may not count for much, but PLEASE: bring this story out to a more widely-known medium. It deserves a fandom!
If I had to give this one critique, I would say there are *slightly* too many characters, it becomes a bit hard to keep track of them all, and sometimes I'm not sure who's being referred to.
That's the general stuff I wanted to say, though I have two, more personal points to make
1. By looking at the comments, Az is SO underrated TvT. She's literally a sweetheart, and gosh do I LOVE her.
2. When I tell you, as soon as I saw my native language (Polish) I HAD TO CONTAIN MYSELF FROM SCREAMING IN EXCITEMENT. In my oppinion, Polish culture is much overlooked in fiction like this, and seeing it there COMPLETELY MADE MY DAY. And paired with such an interesting character(Sebastian)? W O W.
i adore the story posted so far and wow this story got me HOOKED. also the way that mc and li keep dancing around their feelings got me so kjsdjksdks. rory my beloved u deserve the world pls lemme give u a lil kiss on the cheeks <333. i wish i can rate this game 100/5 but itch.io won't let me </333 anywayss, i can't wait to see how this story goes !
Sebastian and Liam my BELOVEDS. i am eagerly awaiting the next update! i only recently found this, but i adore your writing. the change from second person to first during the ritual gave me chills!
So I found this game in 2021 but forgot about it after i reached the unfinished part... but I found it again, finally! I had to start from the beginning due to the re-code but it was so fun and nostalgic, I truly love this game! I told myself I would enter this game with an open mind but after all these years I still have a crush on both Liam and Sebastian 😭 I defenitely suggest this game to whomever finds its and I am so excited for the next update! <3
Speaker is still very much in development! I've run into some tricky coding that has delayed the next update longer than I'd like, but it's still actively being worked on
whenever I read this, I only ever imagine the sweet boy as a black labrador. I don't know why, I've never had a black labrador, I just cannot imagine him otherwise
I'm afraid I don't watch any anime, so any references there would be purely accidental 😅 black dogs are a bit of british folklore that I've always been fond of
Look into 'the ancient magus bride'.. grrayt and pretty fantasy show of modern day times with the fantasy elements being exclusively European, said Black Dog becomes a main character. 😘 Consider it research?
Clearly, you are waiting for the second game to romance Gavin, anyway hope you're good with kids!
(A game where you play as "The Witness" instead of "The Speaker" you have no relation to the others family except for your relationship with Gavin Cowles obviously.)
Not Rory letting me live out my dreams of petting coyotes! I love the danger puppies! Him and Wojtek (Black Dog) are feeding me all my dog content needs <3
OOHOOHOO what a great story!! I need to romance Sebastian right now, but also the other boys, and also find out what the HELL is going on, because I'm obsessed. The magic in this world is so so so amazing even for how little we're taught about it! It just feels REAL! Fantastic work!
I'm loving this so far. It's very well written and I love how all of the options you choose affect little things. Makes me really feel involved in the world.

Does this game have an actual ending
I'm overjoyed that I stuck with the game from the beginning till now.
And dear author, I read it again, and it's just as amazing as before💕. I'm looking forward to the upcoming updates and wish you a wonderful day.

Just finished and i'm already obsessed. Very good story and super amazing characters, Sebastian and Liam is life.
Truly amazing, is there a possibility or any plans to fully finish and release the game?
Speaker is still very much in development! I've run into some tricky coding that has delayed the next update longer than I'd like, but it's still actively being worked on
Still an amazing game, truly amazing. If there's perhaps a discord channel or any way I can see the progress, can I join it?
you can join the discord server or go to tumblr for updates. Hope it helps!
just replayed for the second time and its still as captivating as the first time I read it! truly can't wait until it's finished!!

I cannot wait for another update!!! This game is amazing and I am a SIMP for Liam.

i'm officially obsessed. it's so good, so funny. i can't stop thinking about iiiiiit
Soooooo gooooooooooood aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Do saves not work on iPad? :(
They should, a lot of browsers don’t work with twine saves though, try changing that-Chrome usually works well.

SUCH A DREAM OF A GAME HOLY COW I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE
Love this 🥰. This is such an amazing story with interesting characters and an intriguing plot. Truly a hidden jem.
#LiAndSebbyForLife😘
Liam is life.
There's a polyam option with Sebastian and Liam?! MY DREAM! I hope I'm on the right path to having that happen LOL
YEAHHHH
HEY WAIT I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE
Waht
whenever I read this, I only ever imagine the sweet boy as a black labrador. I don't know why, I've never had a black labrador, I just cannot imagine him otherwise
It's a pretty dead on reference to a "black dog" from a particular anime... but i won't link it and spoil your image 👍
I'm afraid I don't watch any anime, so any references there would be purely accidental 😅 black dogs are a bit of british folklore that I've always been fond of
Look into 'the ancient magus bride'.. grrayt and pretty fantasy show of modern day times with the fantasy elements being exclusively European, said Black Dog becomes a main character. 😘 Consider it research?
Not me wanting to romance Gavin and naming my dog after alcohol
Clearly, you are waiting for the second game to romance Gavin, anyway hope you're good with kids!
(A game where you play as "The Witness" instead of "The Speaker" you have no relation to the others family except for your relationship with Gavin Cowles obviously.)
that actually sounds beautiful and i want it so bad
Not Rory letting me live out my dreams of petting coyotes! I love the danger puppies! Him and Wojtek (Black Dog) are feeding me all my dog content needs <3
OOHOOHOO what a great story!! I need to romance Sebastian right now, but also the other boys, and also find out what the HELL is going on, because I'm obsessed. The magic in this world is so so so amazing even for how little we're taught about it! It just feels REAL! Fantastic work!

Li Rory and Bas are all under arrest for stealing my heart.
Petition to add Rory to the poly route
(im only half joking.. gives me an excuse to replay ;) )
