This game made me have so much more confidence and I cannot express how lovely of a story it was. Please understand my enthusiasm when I heard our protagonist go "I call myself a man". Such a simple sentence, with the most impactful placement. I've yet to dispel that moment from my mind. As someone whom trans, this game brings complete joy to my heart. The dialogue is well written with witty choices of annunciation to what really brings the core message together. Each and every townsperson (and future ones) of Clemency was loveable down to the bone. Please take my words with full recognition to how you all have made such a wonderful game. To make something so impactful is not of an easy feat, from me to you, thank you. Take care, Misha
Every single time I replay this game my silly gay mind always initially interprets the hardness of Joseph's clothes to something else...
And I don't know why, but Robin's sprite of him pulling out a gun is so adorable for literally no reason. But then again, I gushed over every single scene when Robin and Joseph were on the screen at the same time.
This game!I love the writing, Love the art and I love the everything else!!! I genuinely enjoyed this game and the characters,I was literally at the edge of my seat during that scene with Curly.
this game is adorable and i stayed up til' 3am playing it a couple days back but fell asleep in my chair like 2 minutes after I finished it while thinking about the ending and forgot to review it
11/10
such a great game, with lovable characters, relationships, a beautiful art style, and a great climax and emotional resolution. the way the two main characters met and slowly became closer and closer throughout the story was lovely, and I just clicked on it cuz it looked cool without reading any comments, and about when the second interview-thingy with the turtle was over and they were about to start playing cards, i called it that these two were boutta' be in love. adorable, 11/10.
You know that aching feeling that you get when you finish playing a video game? That feeling has never been stronger since the first time I've played Spiritfarer.
Everything about this visual novel works. The soundtrack, the actual story, the characters, and particularly the art design.
I really don't know what to say about the art design--it's just that good. Unlike other visual novels I've read, this one stands out in particular since the very stylized characters blend perfectly into the background. Every single character has their own unique personality--other than the generic gang members of course--and all of their designs are worth simping over. I'm truly at a loss for words: I was fully enraptured in the story. Like any other good game, my only complaint would be that it is too short. But then again, anything is too short when it gives you the time of your life. The only real nitpick I have would be the character sprites having no feet when sliding in or out of frame (unless if that was on purpose--which I would respect lol.)
I'd love for there to be a sequel or spin-off series starring the characters in this story. All that there is to do now is to buy the gold edition and to do what anyone who's invested in a piece of media does--draw fanart.
If I could compare this game to something, I would compare it to Brokeback Mountain without the tragic gays trope and just better overall although I'm particularly biased towards Lookouts since, well, gay furry cowboys being fluffy and adorable. Need I say more? Play it!!
lovely game, i have not finished it yet, i was recording and ive had to stop! for a free browser game there sure is a ton of story! and i hope you have a great time and publish greater titles,
I made an account just to say how much I loved this game. It's incredibly well written and you are all so talented both art and story-wise. The characters were fantastic and the game overall is one of the best visual novels I've ever read.
Vingt-et-un, more commonly known as Blackjack. Vingt-et-un (literally "Twenty-one") is thought to be the French name of the game before Blackjack became widely spread. (Also I just noticed I've been spelling it wrong in-game as vingt-en-un oops lol)

It was something like "Vengt-en-un"? I'm pretty sure it's just blackjack though
'course!
