Woaw!
Thanks a lot for your detailed review! I am really honored! :D

I'm glad! It's always nice to hear when devs appreciate the detail ^^

I discovered RPG Maker around 2003/2004 and I was the most active between 2006/2010.
So I learned everything with RM2003 and by trying to mimic what the best creator were doing during that time.

That's really cool, actually. I try to mimic older stuff a lot of the time as well, and it's always nice to see other people who have a fondness of past styles who incorporate it in new ways. I really like the use of resources for newer engines mixed in, for example. It's a great blend of what's both new and old and I think it worked wonders in the game.

Are you sure about that ?
Here is the rule I found : https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/apostrophe.html
"The general rule is that the possessive of a singular noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and s, whether the singular noun ends in s or not."
Tom Jones’s first album
Jesus’s disciples

Now that you mention it, now I'm actually not sure. I'm not a native English speaker myself, so maybe it works both ways? Google seems to think both Jesus's Disciples and Jesus' Disciples are correct. In any case, though, I might as well remove that part from the review since you seem to be the correct one, haha. Sorry for not doing my research before pointing it out.

Hmmm unfortunatly I can imagine a lot of details and nuances were lost in the translation. :/

That is a possibility, though I think it's moreso that I wasn't really convinced by the way the characters interacted. I guess it's sort of hard to judge without actual acting, but the way they spoke to each other often felt sort of detached if that makes sense? Like I did not fully get the impression that Amelie and Raphael were close to Loic at the start, and they sort of felt like impersonations of the ways real people talked rather than actual people. Again, minor thing, and I wouldn't worry too much about it. When I point out things like this in my reviews it's generally not to say the game needs that aspect improved or fixed, but moreso so that the developers can take notes of what they might want to look into in their future projects. As I said, the writing got better as the game went on, and the fact that some of it was lost in translation is more than possible.

Great review for what looks like a great game! The author also made Les Aventures de l'Iris Noir, pity that I never played it but I remember I downloaded that game months ago.. .I am really curious, more than before to try this one, I'm just worried for that battle segment mentioned...

I wasn't aware they had other games, but I'm definitely interested now! Also I wouldn't worry about the battle segment, it's just like a five minute thing that kind of drags but isn't awful by any means. Maybe if you die and have to replay it, but I doubt that would be an issue because it's really easy.

So I tried playing this but got this error immediately upon launching. Do I need to change my system locale or something?

It's interesting that you pointed out the game has a lighter tone than the canon series, I actually took notice of the exact opposite that maps generally used cooler tones and gloomier atmospheres, making it seem like it was darker than two strangers 2 and 3 at least, which leaned a lot more into pleasant color palettes in the maps. I guess I gotta save this stuff for the developer review tho so I'm gonna shhhh myself

Frogge you are absolutely right, BUT the gloomier atmosphere is contrasted by a story that goes towards a positive/favorable outcome. The darkness well represent the bad situations and obstacles that the protagonist lives but there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

The 2 Strangers instead have an opposite structure: world can be colorful and happy-looking, you meet fairies instead of vampires, BUT there at the end of the tunnel there is no light, but darkness. It is a similar path, but different, like a mirrored image.(whoa that's deep, I hope I did not spoil anything).

Oh, great point actually. I need to start doing more deep dives into my own franchise, apparently ,,
