Finally got around to playing this and it's fantastic! I love the expansion on the brief worldbuilding we got surrounding Aulus and the Resonatorium. I've never played a visual novel before, but I enjoyed the story and characters immensely. On another note, I managed to get 3/4 of the endings. I was wondering if I could get any hints on how to get ending 1?

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! And wow! It’s an honour for one of my games to be your intro to visual novels as a genre. You should def check out some of the other entries to NaNoRenO. It’s a great place to start.

My friend made a guide for getting all the endings! I hope this helps!

Thanks, I appreciate it! And I'll definitely check out the other NaNoRenO entries sometime in the near future

*very serious and definitely accurate spoilers*


as a certified person-who-has-never-played-FFXIV I can confirm that:

- aulus mal asina has done nothing wrong

- the keycard is definitely not important and none of my business anyways

- i am very proud of flavia for healing her big scar through sheer willpower

- the sex is great (this one is actually accurate)


anyways fuck the frumentarium and fuck aulus mal asina ❤️

An incredible love letter to one of the lesser known parts of Final Fantasy XIV's story and the largely overlooked antagonist who deserved his time to shine. This story takes what little there was in canon and expands on it in a way that fits nicely into the world.

Even if you're not a fan of Final Fantasy XIV, this game is a fun time in a mad scientist's lab.

I love u katt ty so much 😭💖

the bg and sprite is good. Im not familiar with fantasy final but I've heard of it and this one is interesting. Is it already done or like a demo?? I'll give it a try in my free time :)

Yes it’s a complete story! Though there may be some small updates in future

I sent this to my friends who like FFXIV! 😆

As someone who has never played it, would I still understand the plot in this game? 

Also I'm obsessed with the textbox and how dynamic and beautiful it is!! The GUI is so good..... 

PERHAPS? I tried to write it so that relevant lore does get explained so someone who isn’t familiar with the world of ffxiv will still understand. I would greatly appreciate it if you wanna play it and test that hypothesis then feed back to me! lol

Thanks!! I’m really pleased with the gui!

JUST FINISHED

As someone who hasn't played FFXIV, I could understand it! There were just enough context clues to understand the overarching story and it just felt like really cool world building! 

I LOVED THE CGS THEY WERE SO GOOD???? Thank you so much for making this it was a lot of fun!!

YAY!! I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
