I am surprised that
Macgamer dropped this game so quickly. I also like MNF and it is also much the same as sylphine concerning the amount of dialog and the MC being somewhat of an idiot.
That said I actually like both games equally for different reasons. Specifically for this game I find the story very compelling and either the dev or someone on his team is very experienced at programming. Of course that is also dependent on the dev having a clear vision of what they want to do and that is something
Glacerose has. From having great characters and renders to well planned story and implementation into Renpy. Even though I did receive an error at the very end of this
PREALPHA it should have been expected although it might have been better if it was an end of version screen instead of causing an error. Really not a big deal.
I am glad that there is a way to easily choose which guild to join is already in place by providing a warning to create a save file before making the choice and when the full update is done provides a way to not be stuck with a guild choice by being able to change your selection before it is locked in.
Even though this is a sandbox game the grind is kept to a minimum by making use of the in game walkthrough giving us easy to follow hints by simply checking the character journals. I do hope that when the completed update is done that it will include more fantasies for the newly introduced characters.
I am looking forward to the completed update and future updates. I highly recommend both games in my sig, this being one of them, as well as MNF mentioned in the first paragraph. All three are in my top 10 games here on F95.
Edit: Being able to choose different guilds makes this game very replayable to get all content with all female characters for sure.
