Hi! Thank you so much for your interest! <3 I'm definitely lucky to have such amazing artists working on this project :) I'll keep working hard on the game!
i always love visual novel games, and i must say this game is one of my favorite game! even though i only played the demo. i love the characters personality, the flawless art, the beautiful voice acting, and the plot. im really excited and totally looking forward for the full release. keep up the good work!
Hi! Thank you for the high praise! I'm absolutely thrilled to hear you like the game so much. Kind support like this really encourages me to keep going. I'm really lucky to have such a talented team working on the project with me. I'll continue working hard on the game and hopefully won't make you wait too long for the full release!
Hi! Thanks for the comment. As the other commenter kindly replied, you can keep up to date with the game's development on either Twitter (https://twitter.com/WindChimesGames) or Tumblr (https://windchimesgames.tumblr.com/)! I only really post on Itch.io when there's big release updates (e.g. an update to the demo, beta build, full release, etc.) So following the studio on social media is the best bet if you want to follow the development! :)
I've just tried the demo and I must say I was extremely captivated by this game.
The art style is gorgeous, and considering how much I love being able to customize the main character as much as I can, being able to at least partially rename her was a big positive point for me.
The cast is intriguing, even though I have to say my favorite character so far is Sebastian and I really hope you'll be able to implement his own route!
The narrative was simply excellent, and considering the peculiar setting and the necromancy theme all I can add is that the story is captivating from the very beginning.
All considered I'm looking forward for the next updates, keep up the good work and congratulations!
Hi! Thank you for trying the demo! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it.
I'll be making a public announcement tomorrow, but I can probably let the news slip slightly in advance here. ;) Sebastien's route will be added after all, so you can look forward to romancing him in the full game in the future!
Thank you so much for the support! I'll keep working hard on the game :)
Hi there! Thank you so much for trying the demo! I'm glad to hear you liked the game. I'll work hard to hopefully bring the full release to everyone within this year! :)
I am looking forward for the full game! But I am very sorry if I cant support the kickstarter campaign as my parents are strictly funding and handling my account for my college tuition fee.
Hi! Thank you so much for the kind comment :) Don't worry, there's no need to apologize for not being able to pledge to the Kickstarter campaign! I totally understand that not everyone is financially able to, and I really appreciate you checking out Reanimation Scheme! Thank you!
Hi there! Thank you for supporting the Kickstarter campaign!
I have actually already sent you an email regarding this issue last night. As stated in the Kickstarter update post containing the link to the backer-exclusive forums for signing up, the forums is only open to backers of tier 6 (Adept Mage, HK$157 / US$20) or above as part of their offered rewards during the Kickstarter campaign. If you believe that there's an error with the Kickstarter records about your pledged tier, please feel free to contact me at contact@windchimesgames.com so I can look into the issue further.
I apologize for any inconvenience or confusion caused. Thank you for your support and your message!
Okay sorry. I didn't notice that and maybe because my eye condition is playing up. I am pleased to support the campaign, I wish I could have done more but time are a little tough. But I am wishing you all the best of luck and I am looking forward to the final piece of work.
I'm definitely hoping that a miracle happens in the last 3 days of the Kickstarter campaign, and we manage to reach Jori and Sebastien's routes. If not, I'll be considering what to do after the end of the campaign. I'll likely be opening some late pledges (with more limited variety of tiers offered but possibility of pledging via PayPal -- if I can figure out how that works) on my website to see if that can bring the funding up a bit. I'll also consider other possibilities and suggestions I've received so far about how to make Jori and Sebastien happen. Though I can't say anything for certain right now, since I'll have to make my decisions based on how much is raised in total on Kickstarter, which I guess I'll find out in 3 days!
Until then, fingers crossed that the last 3 days of the campaign goes well, and we somehow unlock Jori and/or Sebastien!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play the demo and leaving such a nice compliment! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed it :D
If you're asking about the estimated price of the full game upon release, hmm... I think it'll be around 20 to 25 USD. I don't think it'll go past that range, so the max it'll be is likely 24.99 USD. Though you can grab one of the Kickstarter tiers starting at 18 USD right now at the Kickstarter campaign for Reanimation Scheme, and you'll get a key to the full game upon release!
Just wanted to comment and say how much I love this game. It's so polished and pretty. It's really clear how much love, care, and effort have gone into this project. <3
Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the demo :D I'm very lucky to have such a great team of freelancers working with me on the project. I'll keep working hard to make sure the full game is just as polished! :)
Hi! Thank you very much for your interest in the demo!
Unfortunately, the only way to get past something like that would be to add Reanimation Scheme to the list of exceptions for Norton Security. I'm afraid I've never used Norton so I'm not familiar with how the process would work, but a Google search may shed more light on the exact steps to add a program to the whitelist to allow it through the antivirus.
Thank you again, and I hope you do get the chance to try the demo some time!
Sebastien and Jori are currently not love interests, but there's a chance they will become romanceable options depending on how much is raised for the Kickstarter campaign! Jori's route will be unlocked at 12.5k USD, while Sebastien's route will be unlocked at 15k USD. I'll make a devlog announcement here after the end of the Kickstarter campaign about whether Jori and/or Sebastien will be added as love interests to keep you all in the loop!
ive only played for 36 mins so far but i have to say that this game is amazing. I love the GUI as well as the art. Very detailed and absoultely gorgeous!!!!! Cant wait for a full release!!!
Thank you so much for playing the demo! I'm really happy to hear you like the game! I'm very lucky to have a team of amazing artists working with me on this game for sure :D I'll continue working hard on the full game. I hope you enjoy the rest of the demo!
Thank you so much for playing the demo and leaving a compliment! :D I'll keep working hard on the full game for sure and hope to bring it to you guys late next year!
oh my goddd words can't describe how much fun i was having playing this game!!! this game is absolutely beautiful beyond words; i found myself just stopping my playthrough to stare at the game and appreciate not only it's art--but the GUI that you made for this!(i checked my playtime and i spent literally a solid 30 minutes of doing just that instead of reading dialogue. i got it bad) and not to mention, the designs for the characters aren't boring at all! everyone's designs are so indicative of their character from the get go(though i have to admit my fave is sebastien so far) also everyone in this game is such a looker??? my eyeballs just felt so pleased!! when i first looked at this, i was actually quite surprised to find that you're such a small studio! the amount of effort and love you put into this game makes it feel like this made by a much bigger studio/company, it's really quite astounding! from the demo alone, you can really tell that this is--and is going to be a very high quality game!
speaking of the characters, the writing for this game is so well-done! i really found myself immersed in the lore you made for this game, and the worldbuilding you've done for it. the whole concept of necromancers being used for such a purpose is actually quite cool! i'd love to actually read more about it in something like a book? also, not only did you make me so invested in the world of the game, i'm super smitten by the characters?? like throughout the game i've really come to appreciate all of them that i honestly am going to find it hard even deciding which person's route to start with! though, i will admit, my favorite introduction out of all the characters has DEFINITELY been kierdan. there was so much already said about his character from that one scene at the front desk, and the way he handled it was so telling of his core virtues. you can absolutely tell he genuinely cares about accommodating for people who actually need it; he's a sincerely very righteous person, underneath all that coldness! that scene in particular was so impressive, and really telling of your skills as a writer. it's hard to think of a scene in other dating sims that really capture the true essence of a character in just one scene! you really have a way with bringing characters to life, it's really impressive!
unfortunately, i'm a very broke high schooler, so i don't think i can back up the kickstarter--but i will definitely be keeping my eye on this game! it's been a while since i've enjoyed a game as much as this one, sorry for going on a little rant here OTL but i really wanted to let you know my feelings on this!! i can't wait to get a hold on the full game!!
(im DESPERATELY hoping you reach your stretch goals because i would SELL my ORGANS to even be able to woo sebastian or jori ;A; we can do it guys WE CAN DO IT)
Thank you so much for playing the demo and taking the time to write an in-depth comment! You definitely don't have to apologize for writing too much, haha. I loved hearing your thoughts about the demo, and I'm so flattered by the positive compliments!
Yes, the studio is just one person i.e. me, but I'm lucky that I have a team of super talented and dedicated freelancers to work on various aspects of the game! So I definitely have to give credit to them for giving it their all on the creation of all the game assets!
Ahhhh I'm really happy to hear you enjoy the writing! I agonized over the script so much and kept rewriting and editing because I wasn't happy with it, and I was worried about how it would be received, haha. So I'm really glad that it turned out well in your opinion!
No worries about not being able to back the Kickstarter! I totally understand that not everyone's circumstances allow for it, and I really appreciate that you are even interested in the Kickstarter campaign! And just spreading the word about the game would help a lot already :) So thank you so much!
I definitely hope Jori's and Sebastien's routes can be unlocked too... I have such exciting things planned for them. I'm going to be really disappointed if I can't make them into reality, haha. Let's cross our fingers for luck!
This game is amazing! The demo is so polished. It looks and feels more like a professional triple A visual novel. The characters are well written and have a huge number of sprite variations, and there are so many animations and masterful transitions that really bring the story to life. The GUI is the best visual novel GUI I've ever seen, and the game is full of beautiful intricate little details.
I can't wait to back the kickstarter and help get Bash a route! I can't wait to play the full game!
Thank you so much for playing the demo! Ahhhhh such high praise! You've definitely made my day. There's definitely still a lot of room for improvement for Reanimation Scheme, but I'm so happy that you like the game thus far!
And extra thanks for being interested in the Kickstarter campaign! Let's hope we hit Sebastien's stretch goal so he'll get the route (and love) that he deserves! ;D
Beautiful! Art and music are wonderful. I was drooling in the scenarios, they are very good!
I liked the protagonist, very authentic. And as for love options ... Aldrias is cute, although I don't like shy people very much. Lyrissa seems to be someone positive, I like her. What about Kierdan ... well, what can I say if I love the tough ones? XD
Looking forward to more!
Thank you so much for playing the demo and taking the time to leave a comment! I'm so happy to hear the compliments. :) And I'm glad you seem to like the characters so far! The game might have two more love interests (Jori and Sebastien) if their stretch goals are reached during the Kickstarter campaign, so keep an eye out for any news! ;)
I've only gotten part way through Chapter 2 but I just wanted to say that you can just FEEL how much love and work was poured into this game, it's really quite impressive. I'll be keeping an eye out for the kick starter for sure.
Thank you so much for trying the demo and writing such a nice comment! This project is my baby, and I love it so much. It makes me so happy that the blood, sweat and tears I shed are noticed and appreciated, haha. I'm also really lucky to have an amazing team working with me on the project who are absolutely giving it their all on the game assets!
I'll be sure to make a devlog update here when the Kickstarter campaign launches. :) I hope you enjoy the rest of the demo, and thank you so much for your support!
Thank you so much!! So happy to hear you liked Chapter 3 :D It was a fun one for me to write. I'll continue working hard on the game; thank you so much for the encouraging and positive comments!
Ahhhh! I'm so happy to see that the demo is out! It is such an amazing game so far. It is really well made, the quality is definitely higher than a lot of games I've played and this is just a demo! I can't wait to play the full game!
Thank you so much! <3 You're way too kind haha, I still have a lot to learn and improve for the game! But I'm so pleased to hear you liked it. I'll continue working hard on the game for sure!

Tried it! Loved everything about the game: art style, music, plot. It's so good. Can't wait for a full release to happen :3
Hi there! Thank you so much for trying the demo! I'm glad to hear you liked the game. I'll work hard to hopefully bring the full release to everyone within this year! :)
I like the artstyle - beautiful artstyle, well-designed characters, well-drawn sprites, very good backgrounds.
well-written, interesting characters with unique personalities and styles, LyrissA is my favourite so far! And of course Raenelle is cool, too.
I like side characters. They are good source of funny situations.
intersiting lore with magic. and very good plot.
I'm waiting for next chapters
Hi! Thank you so much for the compliments! I'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed the game :) I'll keep working hard on the new chapters!

Why was my forum account accepted and then deleted? Disappointing as I am a backer.

Hii me again!
Wanted to ask something else.
If the stretch goals of Jori and Sebastian don't get reached are you planning to try something else to reach them or not?
Cause it would be such a waste if they don't get a route!
Anyway thanks for your hard work on the game i really appreciatie it!
Hi! Thanks for the question and the kind words.
I'm definitely hoping that a miracle happens in the last 3 days of the Kickstarter campaign, and we manage to reach Jori and Sebastien's routes.

Just wanted to say that I love the demo so much! Thank you for all the hard work you've put in :) How much do you estimate the full game to be?

Oh and are Sebastien and Jori dateable?
Not Windchimes here, but they're at least RN Kickstarter stretch goals.
Hey! Thank you so much for trying the demo!
