Belladonna's Flight

This has been in my backlog long enough! And I've finally played it!

I'm honestly super intrigued by the plot, each of the characters seem so intriguing on their own, but their relationships are also so so curious! The stakes are high for our protagonist and we don't know who to trust, it's really spicy!

My only complaint would be that it feels as if the game expects us, the player, to know things we won't necessarily know when talking with clients. For example, I didn't know what aqua tofana was, so I chose to have Catherine go check her notes, and it felt as if I were being reprimanded a bit. It may make sense in character for Aravind to find it odd, but with no choice as a player to know what I'm working with other than looking it up, it doesn't feel entirely fair.

The art is beautiful, and the writing is delightful, each character having their unique personality that really shines through in their dialogue. I really want to see more of them! The GUI is absolutely gorgeous, too, I was really charmed by it!

I'm excited to see more of this game!

First impressions:
* Confession: I have a thing for Ing, and that thing is "adoration". I remember seeing Ing post updates during Otome Jam with GUI and Logo, and I knew from there, this was a game to be played!
* GUI = masterful. There's a sweet "swish" when the sub menu opens and the sub menu name appears on the lower part of the circle like a wheel. So awesome.
* Logo = Gorgeous. On point with being a poison-dealing romance with the leaves and flowers to boot.
* Story and writing = Intriguing. Secret squirrel and engaging storyline with poison dealing romance. Super keen to try out more!
* Voice acting = Brilliantly casted.

Overall - amazing demo! Download now!

Goodness, i’m very excited about this one. The voices are spectacular. Especially Adam’s. On top of that, the art, design, and colour/palette choices are amazing. The music is great. There are a couple of spots where the music stops or changed tune (and didn’t quite fit), but was otherwise spot-on. I loved the interactive element of the choices - where to go, who to see, how much money you can make, etc. That’s such an interesting factor, and I love it. I can see how it’s going to make for a great many more options as you go through, and make learning new/interesting secrets/notes more fun. The only thing I could complain about was the text - a few times, when there was a lot being said/to-be-read, the text cut-off - I wasn’t sure if this was due to the font I chose, but it didn’t allow me to scroll or anything, so I wasn’t sure how to see the rest of the text. But really, that was it. I’m really excited about this full release. This is such a great and interesting story, and it’s well-developed and well-paced so far! I cannot wait!

Stylish and classy -- love it! You did a really good job at pulling the reader in with those POV cuts and the blur effects. Also that UI was to die for. Excited to see the full release! 

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! 

What else is there to say but... WOW!!!! 

Belladonna's Flight is so unbelievably stylish and divine! The sprite art possesses such a soft and angelic quality in contrast to the darkly poisonous activities being engaged in. Absolutely LOVE the dichotomy presented, and I cannot wait to get my hands on Gilbert in the full game. I can totally fix him, right?

The writing is absolutely excellent, and the cast has such a lifelike way of interacting with one another. The gossip scene was by far my favorite. With the way the camera panned around and the characters leaned in and out... I genuinely felt like I was eavesdropping in the corner. I never wanted it to end! 

Really looking forward to future updates!
