Moonlight Mansion

AH This game is absolutely perfect to play at 4am while it's raining outside. The music is unbelievably beautiful, especially all the piano pieces, I'm such a huge fan of it now. Lowkey wanna look in the game file for the mp3 lmao

I love the story so much 🥺 The writing was beautiful, and I especially like that Merlin can tell Emil's current emotions by his piano playing. The music jargon aren't something I'm familiar with but it's so cool to learn! God, I cannot get over the music, every piece is so good. Also I'm so slow, it took me a while to realize Maria Cart is a reference to Mario Kart 😂 The blood moon sequence was amazingly intense, and I love the play of words. Like when the friend told Merlin how their physics teacher rambled about relativity, and then a few scenes later, Nero said "ever heard of relativity?" I burst out laughing at Merlin's "...Ugh."

I'm so happy to get an ending that I feel satisfied with!

I can't wait to play again to find the other endings! The rain hasn't stopped, so I'll dive right back in. Thank you so much for this short VN, it's so charming. The premise is so mysterious and the realization of what that mansion actually is hits great. I love it.

I'd like to end this comment by showing the scene in the game that made me go, "yEAH GIRL"

I love these two 🥺

Update: I saw Ending 1 and 2 and my respective reactions are below in meme format

Ending 2: when Merlin [redacted bc spoilers] and Emil asked if she wanted to play piano with him

ME: 

I ENJOYED THIS, THANK YOU FOR THIS STORY

I like it. :) I got ending 3. It's a nice story. There are some minor grammatical things and slight continuity inconsistencies (I feel like there are some present-tense and past-tense issues and I think that Merlin at one point was said to be 17 and then later said to be 16. I might be misremembering this, though. And when Nero said "11 in the afternoon" I got a bit confused because I thought he meant 11pm rather than am.) Also, I think the art could be a little bit better. But these things are beside the point: it's a nice story. I like the characters, the plot, and the music. The story doesn't feel rushed pacing-wise, nor does it feel like a slog to get anywhere, it just seems like it the writer knew the story they wanted to tell and told it well, and I respect that. ^^ I'm often faced with a dilemma when it comes to replaying visual novels when I feel that I got "the good ending". I don't want to see characters go through sad events for the sake of being a completionist, if you know what I mean. Thanks for making and releasing this visual novel~! ^^

I just got done with my first playthrough of your game! I must say, it's so surprising this was a thing made within 4 days time. I didn't even remember catching any typos in the dialogue, haha!

First off, I find it so interesting how our heroine is named Merlin haha. I find female MCs with boyish names to be really fun and interesting! Also, the musical pieces chosen were very nice to listen to.

I really enjoyed the mystery and light horror aspects of the game. Sometimes I found Emil to be a bit too much of a jerk sometimes, but I was satisfied with the ending I got and really wanted to be his friend! I also liked Nero's character. I got worried he may have been a more... sinister existence... but was pleasant surprised.

Overall, I quite enjoyed this short VN. It pulled me in immediately and I couldn't stop playing until I reached a conclusion! Very good job ^^
