Dicentra (demo)

the art is drop. dead. gorgeous. i was seriously amazed over how intricate those backgrounds were, alongside the cool monster designs, and how perfectly they set the ambiance for this spooky gothic tale. this took me back to my nostalgic days of ib, mad father, the witchs house etc. (I can totally see dove fitting in with those haunting girlies)

Stunning art, both beautiful and horrifying, with an intriguing story and a cool twist at the end of the demo that brings everything into spine-chilling clarity. The writing is almost as stunning as the art, a display of immense talent.

The colors of the title screen catched my attention. Gorgeous art (the best backgrounds I have ever seen) and choices that don't feel like filler for the sake of calling it a visual novel. Good atmosphere, I liked the timer. Nice music. Pretty ui.

As a horror game, it's interesting having the wolf's point of view and feeling the need to communicate but the difficulty to do so, the same with its fragility.

Honestly, I keep staring at the artwork. I love red.

Lately I started playing some visual novels to learn for my projects, I wish I could make in the future a game half as beautiful as this one.

This was such a beautiful and long demo. I loved the artistry. 

The art was really good and I enjoyed the aesthetics. I did semi-enjoy the story but I would suggest watching the closer look on youtube for more in depth story telling. Played it with my friend and we both didn't enjoy the game because I felt that it could be made in google slides and wasn't fun to read everything. Maybe get a friend or someone to voice act. The game also didn't have a trinity hook which is the core of every successful game or even a demo. The only hook was the story and that hardly makes a strong game. You need a gameplay hook and a mechanical hook. Also the horror just wasn't there for me and I get scared easily AND was playing it at night. As an indie game dev you need to have experience in all aspects of game making, strong art and ok story just won't cut it, this game was just a choose your own adventure that i could read in second grade. Honestly the story was mediocre but the art was good. would recommend trying to expand the game to a bigger audience by adding an actual hook.

Beautiful art work, and a well written story.  I quite enjoyed this!  I think the music that plays roughly in the middle of the game comes off a little too high in comparison to the rest of the music that plays, and some additional sound effects for the pages being ripped out of the book, more drips, and various other parts that emphasize that you're hearing a sound would be cool!

Feel in love with the art style immediately. The story is intriguing cant wait to play the full game! There is only one critics that I can give is the lack of sound effects. For example when it said the door slams behind me as soon as I entered the house, feels empty without sounds to emphasize it. But that is just my opinion the game is still amazing! Thanks for the Demo! 

good art and interesting premise, but I feel that it truly would have been better if the main character were human, the main character actually being a wolf or dog or whatever doesn't really add to the horror, in fact I would go so far as to say it takes away from it. some of the best horror is good because our mind can find something to relate to or latch on to, so if we feel that we as a human are being treated like dogs we feel mistreated or demeaned, but if we feel that we ARE dogs and are being treated as such we feel prideful, also just the fact that the MC is a dog could be a good artistic choice, but only for like an intro, and don't make it seem like a fanfic, this is a horror game and shouldn't be taken so lightly. the monster design was great btw.

  I should also say that I'm not trying to be mean, I think you are very talented and this has huge potential, also not saying you need to rewrite your whole game or anything, just trying to give some pointers if you're open to them.

Congrats on getting featured! So well deserved. I've always admired your art from afar and this gothic lil' tale is so very, very striking. Really enjoyed it!! :) <3

!Minor spoilers!

that was beautiful the art and story left me craving more the colour palate of grey and red really highlight the difference of the white ghost while the red still ties her in and while dove is the same colour she is outlined in black so she fits in but she still appears important. Amazing work!!!

Beautiful art with an interesting story!

This demo is suuuuupeeer awesome so far I'm in love with hand drawn art style. All the ghosts are delightfully creepy and cool, and I'm super interested in all the secrets and mystery of Dove and the house she's in. Really great stuff, can't wait for more!!

This was an amazing experience, incredibly moody and atmospheric, I was drawn in from the first minutes. What a gorgeous art style and character designs, too!! 

Very much looking forward to the finished game, whenever it may come!

The artwork and atmosphere are unbelievably gorgeous! I love what you did with the text box. Amazing work!

I finally got the chance to play the extended demo and I am in love!! Dove is such a compelling character, and I'm completely enthralled by your monster designs (and the art in general my god??). So excited to see what comes next!
