This is our first game.PlotRoui, a resilient city dandy, a half-educated jeweler and the author of scientific magic articles, dealt with a colossal failure and had to return to his homeland: Latori. Science isn't a thing here, and local shoddy mystical beliefs are really irritating and dejecting to Roui. He dreams to return to his old life... But how can it be possible if you have no money? One day, a prosperous local baron commissioned him for a bracelet, a gift for his lovely bride. Roui, in need of the extra coin, graciously accepted the order... But not long afterward he faced a new problem - the Mad Rook, a legendary and mysterious spirit, began to meddle in the lives of the locals, including Roui's. This spirit, an entity that plays tricks on mortals once a year, is possessed with strange magic and a dark sense of humor. Roui had no choice - he decided to gather information about the Mad Rook to find out who he really is!Despite all the strangeness of the story, everyone can find something parallel to their everyday life and see themselves in one of the characters. This story will capture you and won't let you go until the very end. Turn your mind inside out through a twisted way!SettingWhere is it set? The setting is a fictional world called Shang-La, a world of mixed cultures and eras, and home to various strange creatures. This is a place of old magic and new ideas, where science works together with mysticism. You can find glasses and phones, electricity and radio here, but no guns or television. The inhabitants of this world still fight with swords. The continent they live in is surrounded by the boundless ocean. The Sun and the Moon take turns alternating in the sky, and the stars are made of metal and hiding tons of secrets in them.Who are the Sahash? Sahash are the second intelligent race in Shang-La, alongside humans. They are divided into five nations, differing from each other by their physicality, shape of their horns, and muzzles. Every nation has its own unique traditions and culture: ranging from habits, religion, law, and even tastes in fashion and food.Despite the complicated relationships between these ethnic groups of Sahash, as a whole they get along with humankind, and even try to emulate them in spite of their more animalistic nature.Key featuresCommunicate with multiple characters, forge friendships, and make bitter enemies.Collect and craft items!

These artworks are really witchy and cool!! I'm glad that I purchased The Crown of Leaves and played Chapter One!! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE CHAPTER TWO!!!. I played the demo a while back and was very interested in where this project would go. So far I am very interested in the world thats been presented and I will gladly pay for any future chapters if they keep up with this content. Im a bit into the game right now but I have no idea how long this first chapter is so I cant give an estimate to how long this game is. As of now I only have three complaints.EDIT: 5 minutes after this review I finished the chapter lol. Right now theres not that much content, i'd say you can finish it in 2-3 hours if you spend time clicking every little object to read it's description. Even though it was short I would deffinetly say that I am very happy with what I bought.1. Misspelled words - I understand the Dev's mother tounge isn't english but sending the script out for proof reading would be nice. None of misspellings are that bad and honestly just seem to be typos.2. Seemingly no way to change resolution - I have a 1440p monitor and its unfortunate to say that a lot of the amazing artwork is a bit pixelated/blurred. I would suggest adding a setting the puts it at it's native resolution, but with black bars to fill in the rest of the screen. Enter the Gungeon has this setting and it seems to work great, but idk if it would conflict with the game in anyway.EDIT: I realised that I can go into windowed mdoe to help with the resolution but the window is so small it becomes hard to take in the artwork :( 3. Arbitratry options - The parts where you get to choose what happens seem very lack luster/meaningless. For example most Tell Tale games give the illusion that you had a choice in but in reality the same outcome happens later in the chapter no matter what you pick. I understand how difficult it is to make a game where choices like this have a large impact but I feel like I should there should be a little bit more to the choices or make them more meaningful. P.S. - For the love of god make a soundtrack for sale, I absolutely adore the music in this game. I've waited for this for sooo long! In some way I even wish to wipe off from my memory all the previous demos to get to play it absolutly blank and ready for brand new story and characters. I kinda envy people who will be able to go through it like this!Art is perfect. Number of small details in this game is astonishing! I highly recommend everyone to try all possible roots of this game to get a full experience and all nuances of the story. Can't wait for the next chapter!. Good writing, gorgeous art, very mysterious. Interested to see what happens in next chapter!Warning: you can brick the save (spoilers, axe route) once you get the shears make sure you have the reed before you start crafting items! I had the shears disappear from my inventory which had me very puzzled until I looked up a walkthrough that mentioned the shears are needed for the reed.. I Need BorderlessAnd Chinese.
