Hi! It is implied that the protagonist in this game is the same as from Lovewood, just younger, however he has a predetermined name in this one - Janus. I don't quite remember if he is ever addressed with male pronouns, but either way the name and pronouns can't be chosen in Frightwood.
This was very cute! I was really impressed with the amount of artwork and it definitely helped to make it feel like a cartoon episode, since things felt very dynamic! I really enjoyed Aleth's character specifically and the fact their chalkboard has its own textbox background and sound effect. The attention to detail is really lovely :)
(I didn't see the comment I left on the Jam page here, sorry if this is a double post.)
This was really adorable!
I enjoyed playing it a lot. Short and sweet, and providing you with all the feels you could ever ask.
I was happy to see someone taking a similar theme to my own submission in the lessons you as the player learn. I don't want to spoil Fightwood, but I am pleased with how the story was told, and the lessons were taught.
This was a wonderful experience. Though I was left wishing there was more. That is positive and negative. I am very interested in seeing more, but I was also left with saying, "Is that all? Come on. I need more!"
The art style was cute, though I did have difficulty telling who was speaking at some points. That doesn't take too much away from the story. I was able to click back and double-check.
The transitions with effects were very strong. I also enjoyed how interactive the background was.
In closing, Frightwood is a wonderful experience with fantastic art and a carefully crafted story, though a bit short for my tastes.
Would it be okay if I post an unnotarized Mac build? Since that is the way it comes out of Renpy originally. To make a properly notarized version, I'd need some more time and help from a friend.
Very polished art and a charming little tale! It really did feel like a Halloween special, and makes me curious about how the characters grow up and are portrayed in Lovewood!
This game is cute, clever, and heartwarming - the standout feature is the gorgeous art. It's definitely clear that extra care and love was poured into this - especially the near the end. I was surprised and delighted by all the unique illustrations! Definitely made me curious to try Lovewood.
I screamed through this game play !!! I've been recording it as well and been needing to get back to love wood but I was like omg we can do this too and omg my heart. I don't know how many times I actually gasped and was like NoOOO lol I loved it. It took me a second to realize that they was younger compared to love wood I was like wait???? is this baby blossom,moth and aleth ?!?!
Yeees they're all little babies (so like, around 16 to 18 years old) TwT So glad to hear you found it suspenseful! I'll totally check out your video, I wanna hear your commentary as the story goes along :D
nfknbvfb Thank you!! <3 I hope you don't mind that the protagonist in this one is a bit more set in stone in terms of the name (though they're not referred to with any specific pronouns, I believe). It's a little different from Lovewood in that regard!
I finished it and I loved it . It's so wholesome. I don't mind that they had a default name. I just absolutely adore aleth SOO MUCH AHHH they're my comfort character.

soooo, does this mean theres going to be a sequel to Lovewood :o
Technically there already is! Not sure if it counts as a sequel, but Invisible Seams is a follow-up storyline set in the same universe as Lovewood. :>
Your game looks really cute! <3
I have a question before I play it: is the protagonist in this game the same as the one in Lovewood, please?

Thank you so much for all this info! <3
I love how stuff you wouldn't normally see in horror movies is acknowledged as real fears. It's really insightful!
A very cute game! I'm absolutely amazed by the amount of art in this!
Oh, also! I love Blossom!

9/10 (Rated 5 Stars.)
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's really helpful and encouraging to me.
I'll make sure to play All That Ales Yew later this month, and I'll give my thoughts on it when I do! The art already looks incredibly beautiful. <3
Awesome! I'm excited to hear back about that! I think you've created something very special!!
Can you export a Mac version?
Would it be okay if I post an unnotarized Mac build? Since that is the way it comes out of Renpy originally. To make a properly notarized version, I'd need some more time and help from a friend.
Yeah, that's fine. I can still play unnotarized games on my Mac.
Okay, I added the macOS build to the Download section! Enjoy :>
