AWAWAWAAWAW I finally got around to playing it (Thank you Altila for the tips on gameplay HUZZAH!!) and uhm... I might need a tissue because I'm weeping like a baby right now!

I loved seeing the way the narrative shift and change as more was unraveled. This story was so sweet and the artwork was BEAUTIFUL and PHENOMENAL.

What gave you the idea for this story? And did you pace yourself to get this done? I know you got it done SO early into spooktober that I originally thought it was only for the Yaoi Game Jam and not both!!

Thank you for playing!!

The idea? I just want to make cute boys doing cute things because of Yaoi Jam and chose wizard because of Spooktober LOL. The rest just came to me by itself while drawing (I started drawing the CGs before writing anything). Check out my first postmortem for more (I kinda forgot). Maybe I'm used to jam with time constraints, so I didn't have any major problems with pacing myself.

"Magic is meant to make others happy."

Such a heartwarming story with a nice message. The wizard looks so cute! The UI is very elegant, especially the pretty text box. The music was well chosen and fit the mood perfectly. 

Absolute comfort game. Great reminder to enjoy life. Thank you for making it.

And thank YOU for playing!

Thank you for playiiing!!

I honestly choked up near the ending. Such a sweet story that really feels like a love letter to any struggling or demotivated creative.

I love this art style. The character design is really nice to look at. The writing is simple but effective. Just a wonderful little experience ;w; 💙 You did an amazing job on this!!

Thank you for playing!!

It kinda is! Especially for myself, so if I ever feel down, I can go back and play this.

The story is soooo GOOD! I loved how the relationship between Nova and the Wizard unfolded throughout the game, it's written well. I wish it can be longer (つ╥﹏╥)つ The art is amazing too, there's many CGs, love it! ( ദ്ദി ˙ᗜ˙ ) 

Thank you for playing!!

Glad you like the game! I enjoyed drawing those CGs!

I'm over the moon on this magical story... maybe it's a 'masterpiece'?

I was very suspicious because Altila used to make stories that made my heart wrench, was expecting for something horrible to happen. 






.

It's not horrible but I still feel sad.


It's still kinda sad at the end tho, why do you do this.

Thank you for playing!!

Nooo don't be suspicious of me and my games!! At least, this one is peaceful

OK, I believe you 🤷‍♀️

THIS GAME WAS SO GREAT AND FLUFFY AND HFEISLHFSIGHSG

Where can I get a Rizzard like this in my life??? He's so silly XD and so precious 😭😭😭

I also can relate to Nova's feelings of high expectation and pressure....

I really love what Wizard said about there are still people who enjoy your works even a little 😭

AAAH The ending hurts, but so good at the same time 😢

Thank you for making this Altila!!!

Thank you for playing!!

He is a thief because he has stolen our hearts. Maybe, if you close your eyes, he will appear in your balcony.

This was so cute and aahhhh made me tear up T_T Nova was so relatable! What a wonderful, heartfelt story.


Also, did I see a reference to a certain anime's ending in there? >.>

Thank you for playing!

What anime is it if you don't mind telling me?

School days <.<

Ah. You got it right. The nice boat XDD

(+1)

Yes! Ahaha xD That was great! And the anakin and padme meme xP But seriously though, I loved the storytelling ^-^

I love that meme.

Thank you! Glad you enjoy the game!

WIZARDDD!!! Please I just want the best for him... 😭

[Slight spoilers from here on out!]

This VN feels like a nice, warm, comforting cup of tea. Nova's struggles are all too real for me, so I related to him immediately. This makes the wizard's words and attempt at cheering Nova all the more impactful to me. The wizard is such a good kid, I definitely understand why Nova would get so attached to him. I WOULD TOO!!! No that's a lie, I already am attached to him...

The ending hurt me physically (in a good way!). But despite everything, I love how encouraging and supportive the Wizard is.

The art is drawn really well (as expected). Absolutely adore how ethereal the Wizard looks. I also really like the in game UI too btw, it's so minimalistic, modern, simple yet so pretty to look at! 

All in all, another solid Altila game!!! Thank you for making this and sharing with us!

Aaaa thank you for playing!

Yes, yes, Wizard is the bestest boi and deserves the best. Glad you like him too! Wizard is not just trying to cheer Nova up, but also us, writers with similar struggles (minus the award part).

The UI is... haha, it's the default UI except for the textbox.

Made me feel something. I want my own wizard, if only this is possible in real life. 

Thank you for playing!

I want him in my life too ; ;

Amazing Kinetic Novel, I was hooked.

Hi 

The way the story branches when you pick the dialogue option at the inn caught me off guard, in a good way. Is that something you plan to expand with multiple endings?

Hello. 

There is no story branch or inn in this game. Did you leave a comment on the wrong game's page, perhaps?

The game really is heartwarming, yet sad. A wizard helps us with our depression and while he seems to know about us, It's sad that he has to go so soon. The loving relation is just cute and the story was engaging and funny.


Also, if any of you receive an error when Wizard is flying over the city, make sure to save at a previous point and choose "skip" to bypass it.
