This was the first game I have ever played from this company. I saw an ad for it and I was drawn to the Egyptian aesthetic of the game. After I played the first couple of chapters, I almost didn't keep playing. I ended up giving it another chance and I am really glad I did. I actually really enjoyed the game. I was invested in the story and characters. I am giving it only 3 stars from a critical view, however, because I do feel like the game had potential to be better. ~ The music in this game is really good. It really helped immerse the experience for me. The rest of the sound design was OK, too. There are a few sound effects and they are fine. I think one thing that could have been added was a little bit of voice acting. Like just a few sighs, giggles, gasps, etc. Would have helped immerse the player and make the characters feel a bit more alive. ~Character design was great, the art of the characters was well made and the backgrounds were fine. Some backgrounds looked better than others. The characters are slightly animated and they have facial expressions that they cycle through. One suggestion for improvement here would be perhaps a couple of different poses for each character. The cast is small and you the player are essentially looking at the same artworks for the entirety of the game. I think just a few different sprites for each character would have a good touch. Each male lead does get a second outfit, so that was pretty cool. ~I think the story here is pretty good, but, I do think it could use a few touchups. Some things didn't make sense or could have been written a bit better. Some story elements/character motivations could have been expanded upon. The male leads have very distinct personalities and are likeable. I enjoyed spending time with each of them. The endings felt very rushed and very short. It really felt like the game was like "okay, here's your man, bye now, thanks for playing." I really wish the character endings were just a tad longer and had a few more interactions with the character. I also think a secret 4th ending would have nice, like one where you choose all the boys. (perhaps unlocked if you unlock every premium choice in the game). Just a thought~ ~Slow grind for strictly free to play. The slot machine minigame is tedious and a tad boring. A few more simple minigames could be added. There is an option to watch an ad every 5 hours for some points which is fine. ~Short experience. For me, this is a good thing. I was looking for a shorter story to play in just to pass time and this game ended up being just that. There are 15 chapters in total. It took me about a month and half to complete the game in its entirety. All in all, I did have a fun time with the game, despite my 3 star rating. I think this is a good game for someone new to otome game to dip their toes in. The gameplay is very simple so really its a good beginner game. I am not sure if I would play another game by this company in the future. Perhaps if there was some improvements made in future games, then I would consider it. This company seems to have competent writers and artists so I just hope their talents can be used to their full potential.

I always loved Egypt and its mythology. So I was very excited when I found this game. It is full of mystery and supernatural elements, just what I was looking for! All the characters grew on me, but I chose Youssef! His warm, protective and teasing nature drew me in. And the way he called me "Little Moon"! 😭 I am such a simp. The ending was so cool and wholesome too! Really reccommend this game!
