I really enjoyed reading this visual novel! The character artwork and backgrounds help to immerse you into the story, and transport you into the world of Greek mythology. I didn't have a lot of prior experience with either Greek or Roman mythology, but still found myself really enjoying getting to know the story of Psyche and her LI! It is fun to go back and make different choices and see how the story changes with your decisions! The addition of stat building made the novel feel a lot like a video game, which is pretty cool and done really well! I feel that this game was worth the cost and would make a great gift for any avid romance reader in your life. I can't wait to see what this developer comes out with next!

I played the demo and really enjoyed the story and artwork! I bought the full version so I could see how the story concludes. I'm currently on the 2nd week. I think my favorite thing so far is the well-paced story development and the incorporation of the drama from ancient Greek gods and goddesses. I also like the feature of weekly tasks to influence the storyline, because I think it's going to affect which gods or goddesses help Psyche (for instance when she 'tends to the vineyard', Dionysus' affection for Psyche improves).

This game is great! It's probably the best VN I've played. The art was just ok, but the story and choices were really interesting! It is well worth the price, and I highly recommend picking it up :)

Good game, but the endings are hard to get and or you cannot change them easily. I took 2 hours to get one ending due to the favors. Needs quality of life update.

Cute game, if you like the myth of Eros and Psyche you will likely enjoy this. The game is pretty true to the story with very little wiggle room, so don't expect to tell your evil sisters to get lost.

Pretty good game, the art is fantastic and the storyline is interesting. I've played most of the endings so far and am excited to finish everything else up. I've played a fair amount of free visual novel games, and you definitely get significantly more content than the free ones. The weekly planner is a really cool addition. I saw another review that stated it was similar to Long Live The Queen which is true (although instead of leveling up your own skills you're leveling up favor with the gods to achieve different endings). It has more of a strategy aspect than your traditional vn since you also have to factor in the loneliness and curiosity meters too. I really do think that both of these aspects make it much more engaging and challenging for the players, and you're choices actually do have a big impact on the endings which is pretty rare to find. I would say the price is definitely worth it for the fact that you get good art and music, multiple endings, and interesting plotlines for at least 3 hours.

Great use of VN to retell story about Eros and Psyche from Greek Mythology. The Heroine is such a cutepie. remind me of such great VN like Backstage Pass" or "God Save Queen". A bit short- what can be seen as positive as negative.

I loved this game! Such a beautiful love story with beautiful writing, art, and music. Psyche is now my favorite otome princess because she is so sweet and beautiful on the inside and out. I was in tears at the ending I got. Very beautiful game! 10/10! I also appreciate that it wasn't too hard to get the good ending and there were in-game explanations. I recommend this game at full price - it's worth the money. There are also challenges, high replayability, and good simulation gameplay.

usually in a VN i love to play it multiple times to get all the possible endings and unlock all the achievements. i didnt want to do that with this one. that speaks on by itself. the story does not really change depending on your choice. i thought when we were describing Eros to the sisters we were able to choose his looks but no he's always blonde and blue-eyed. i also really wanted psyche to not be nice to her sisters because i already know from my knowledge of the myth that they are evil but again, no choice there. you cannot really impact psyche's personality one bit. also, getting all the achievements unlocked for this game is a chore... basically, this game just you an illusion of choice, as no choice really affects the story except on whether you "succeed" or "fail." it's a 2-dimensional story that is inevitably confined to the mythical story that we all know so well. so the game got old fast for me. in conclusion, there were some positives (achievements feature, artwork is semi-nice), but overall i think this game was a negative experience for me.

A long time ago, the dev reached out to me and we discussed me actually helping with this game's creation. I couldn't at the time, but I was very hyped for the game when she explained the premise to me. A few months later, and it's here! And I couldn't be more excited. It's a good game! I adored all the facial animations and expressions people had! This isn't a traditional "otome" game, and follows a similar formula to "Long Live the Queen", "Backstage Pass" and "Nicole" rather than "Ozmafia", "Amnesia" and "Hakuouki". Be warned, however, this is harder - and borders more on the side of "Long Live the Queen" in terms of your weekly management, rather than "Backstage Pass" level. There is a secret ending that's already quite hard to get, and 5 variations of it that require you to get the secret ending a few times to get. Still interested? Great, because it's a good game. I simp Eros to hell and back, and I really enjoyed the use of CGs and the large amount of dialogue and scenes that keep appearing as I replay. Steam says I've played 4 hours, and I've reached that number comfortably, and achieved all endings. So It's *fairly* short, but the price reflects that and really isn't much compared to some games on the platform. If you like this genre and you want a new game, go for it. It's very fun. And you can check my guide on it if you get stuck, :^)
