MAD_SCIENTIST'S PROFILE

I do feel that at the start, we could have used some more time to get to know Aurelie before the timeskip. The dream sequence from Karuna later on helps flesh it out, but overall, I never really cared about Aurelie and Karuna's relationship as much as I felt I should.

This was contrasted by Chisa and Meral, who were both very cute, and I really enjoyed watching them. I was definitely a lot more invested in their relationship than that of Kuruna/Aurelie.

I noticed you tried to include a fair amount of humor and lighthearted elements in the game. I think, for the most part this worked, though I remember it clashing with the more serious elements at times.

(Regarding the humor, my personal favorite moment was during the love contest, when they had to recognize their lover by their feet, and Chisa's reaction to it. :D )

Speaking of the love contest, one touch I liked was the idea that the people of that town HAD to follow their bizarre traditions with incredible strictness, because the magic that protected them was powered by them. It gave king a reason for requiring you to complete the labyrinth other than him just being an asshole and/or scatterbrained, and it was an interesting idea. I kind of would like to see the idea explored more.

Lynnette, oh Lynnette. I get she was supposed to be a bit of a douche, you've mentioned you like characters like that. And I do think her dream helped humanize her a bit. But overall I found she was a bit too douchey for my preference at least.

Also regarding Lynnette, an incredibly minor nitpick, but I was hoping that when we fought the sea monster, she'd be in the party. Since she was the only character with a history with that monster, it would have made sense.

I understand though that the boss was strong enough where we could only reasonably fight it right near the end, and by that point Lynnette was out of the party. But it was a minor detail that stuck out to me, partially because it felt a little like Lynnette's story arc was a bit incomplete. She screws up and wastes her one use of holy power by trying to beat up the good guys, and after that she does realize her mistake and try to fix things as best as possible, but it felt to me like there was a little something missing.

Overall, I did like the story. It didn't hit me with OMG TWISTS but it was executed nicely, and most of the humor worked for me.

For example, at first I thought that the button with the dark green stuff was plants, and the button with the bright green was poison.

This didn't work, and I realized that the button in front of the the bright green picture, when pushed, had a little symbol of a leaf appear on it. So I realized it was actually plants, and the dark green one was the poison clouds.

Except that also wasn't true. Turns out the dark green button was for the wind, and there was nothing representing poison among the buttons.

I had no idea. If not for a comment by Marrend, I'd probably still be stuck here.

Ironically, even though the comment helped me figure out the correct order, it still referenced poison incorrectly. Marrend said the correct order was
"Dark, Earth, Water, Poison, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light."
In fact, the correct order was
"Dark, Earth, Water, PLANTS, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Light."

I've seen multiple comments from people who have solved the puzzle and who still don't realize that the bright green button has a leaf symbol and is for plants, not poison. If not for the fact that it conveniently resulted in them pressing the button at the same time anyways, who knows how many would have gotten stuck?

Unless, perhaps, the bright green button actually IS for poison, and the leaft symbol that appears when it's pressed is a mistake? Regardless, it's confusing.
