Moon Observatory Anholly

I'm only halfway through, but I felt obligated to let you know that the comedic moments in this game have me snickering uncontrollably.

What is the recommended playthrough of your games?

I loved this!! I know it's not as happy as Magical Otoge Ciel, but it's so sweet and pure that I still somehow felt happy after playing it. The writing is incredible to have been able to evoke that despite the bittersweet ending. I think I felt happy to be able to witness these characters' pure love for each other. Oh and I absolutely love the humorous parts, I literally laughed out loud. Loved the art of course. Short, bittersweet, and an absolutely beautiful experience <3

Congratulations on successfully making me bawl my eyes out. This game was so sweet and amazing. The ending did dampen my throbbing heart that just cries for the characters. How dare you deceive me with such an innocent and heartwarming game cover? Though this game is heart-wrenching and carries a pretty heavy tone to it, I wouldn't have asked for anything else. This is truly a heart-wrenching masterpiece. Hope to see more of your work in the future. Your Magical Otoge series is amazing so far, and I hope it stays that way. Good luck on your future projects. <3

Okay so-- I first played MO Ciel when I was still in middle school (i'm in college now haha) and if I'm not mistaken only the demo for MO Anholly was out and ever since then I've been thinking about those games often, they're still a favourite of mine and probably will always be. So today I finally played MO Anholly and I cried my eyes out. Seriously. They're still swollen from all the tears. This ending is of a very painful beauty and the author's notes were just the final hit in my heart (and poor little Riov...). You're really an amazing, talented creator and this game was amazing, but I will riot if Seihuo and Anholly (well Shisui and Melanie) don't end up together in that game. This was incredible, I really can't get over it. I am so so looking forward your next games ! I wish you all the best for your projects and for this upcoming year, and thank you for this amazing, heart-wrenching piece of art. Really.

hhhh I'm still thinking about this game MONTHS after playing so I'm obliged to comment

I played the Magical Otoge series chronologically so I tried this after MO Ciel ((MO Ciel was light-hearted and fluffy so this should also be a cute, happy stories featuring handsome 2d boys right????)) haha..ha I was so wrong this HURTED </3 TT damn you game creator it made me cry so much at 2am,, not just because the lore is so well-written for quite a short story but the characters' bonds are so beautiful..! It's extra touching as its sadness is in a slice-of-life kinda setting which always gets to me ;~; Seihuo is an unexpected fav(!!) he's outwardly prickly but considerate in his own way it's So Sweet!!!!

Downloaded for pretty art and cute moments with handsome 2d boys but got my heart broken :')) Anholly is such a sweet girl and her loneliness feels relatable, I really like how she's designed as a character

<spoilers> you did not have to add that last part about reincarnation. why. it was so sad i was bawling. if the other parts did not hit me in the feels already, that was the final blow U_T

Anyways, kudos to batensan for making this all on their own !! (i might be wrong) the art is so beautifulll :>

i love this game and when is Magical Otoge Melanie come out

  First off, oh my God. Honestly, I downloaded this not knowing what I'm walking into as I haven't read the synopsis prior to playing this. I just expected that this would be beautiful just like Magical Otoge Ciel, even if it has been a long, long, long while since I've played the latter. Anholly totally didn't disappoint. 

  As I've progressed through the narrative, the game felt pure and simple in it's play of being melancholic, unlike what I am used to nowadays. It was refreshing, and it being so might just be only for me, as I usually delight myself with violent tragedies, yet I can say that even if this isn't the situation-- Anholly's element would still stay the same; and how it was delivered and how it would be perceived would be constantly aligned with each other. As I've said, pure. 

  How things went just seem perfect and perfectly sad, because everything was in whole with Anholly, our protagonist, and with how she dealt with everything. I can wholeheartedly say that the entirety of the narrative fits, and if I'd be asked if there should be any changes made, I'd only say that I wish of this more-- more details in a few angles, lengthier dialogues, more background stories, more of the characters-- just so that, as it deserves, I could appreciate it again, but much more.

  Even if it feels short, it was so easy to be invested with the story. I just love it. 

You almost made me cry, this is pure and tragic and romantic... I like the ending but I wanted more of Anholly & Seihuo romance, I like the dog too (I thought he would transform into a man haha) he will be appearing in other games? 

I don't like to think of Riov being sad, wish there are routes for the other 2, but this is canon right?

LOL I might just go and replay Ciel for Yvin to cheer me up xD

I have just finished it and I feel like I am missing something...

- Where is Magical Otoge Melanie? You mentioned it in the Author's Note, but I only see Magical Otoge Iris, which is not yet completed.

- Also in the Author's Note you mentioned 2 magicians, and said like "the magician of this world was not X, as you have guess, but instead Y, the first magician eva". Wait, who is X and who is Y? What did I not play or read? Was I supposed to know them from somewhere?

Really good job by the way, liked it a lot.

I've finished it and it was so good that I can't describe it. I would be looking forward to your future work! You do such an amazing stories that captivated me so much. I wish there's plenty of vn just like yours. I think I fall in love with your work ever since I played Magical Otoge Ciel which was played long time ago. Idk when. Time sure flies. Anyway, I've been saving up this game until I had the time to just played it in one go. Keep up and do what you love <3

Also, Seihuo is killing me. I can't stop laughing.

Anyone scrolling down the comment I highly recommend to try out. Before Magical Otoge Ciel, ofc.

Is this not going to be released in Steam? Just asking.

batensan you meanie ! i still cry even after a year went by without playing it just from replaying the ending ! meanie bully !!༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽༼ಢ_ಢ༽(ಥ﹏ಥ)(ಥ﹏ಥ)(TдT)(TдT)(TдT)y-you....pro at making me cry ༼ಢ_ಢ༽ that pic is a very sad yet happy illusion that makes me tear up just from looking at it....*breaks in tears even more* sop-sop(┳Д┳)(┳Д┳)(┳Д┳)

I was NOT prepared to cry at midnight over this game I'M SO AHHHHHHHHH???????

I played Magical Otoge Ciel years ago and chanced upon this, and like did playing this make me an emotional wreck? Of course. But did I love ever second of it? OF COURSE!

It was really nice playing this game; it's very pretty and pure and moving...and apparently, it's almost impossible to forgot them, even over years. 

(If I were asked about making suggestion on details to improve, perhaps, I would say...your characters grow on the player so quickly! I think they are really worth playing and they can be solid when you write them just a bit more seriously, like, as to having them say things  they would be likely to say given their respective stories just a bit more often than saying 4th wall jokes—those are nice to cover the Deus and Devil ex Machinas, but they could be kept short, letting the plot return to being immersive sooner, maybe? (I know I know no one asked me for a critique, so please feel free to ignore this.) )

Thanks for sharing these cups of freshness freely!  (Did that make sense? ...in my head it did, but...)

PS: On another topic, I've been trying to unlock the first picture from the Gallery, unfortunately, I think I've tried every choice and skipped until the end each time, but to no avail. Is this a Veltaire picture? Would someone give me cue, please?

Hey, do you think i could use one of the city scenes in this for a 3D modeling project in school? I really enjoyed the background of some of the scenes, and wanted to do one for my project! ^^

Sorry if this is a weird question, but I happen to use Renpy occasionally and I was wondering if your Renpy script (Is it a Renpy script?) was available to look at, just as a coding reference, for transitions, different effects, and such? Sorry if it seems weird... my bad! ><

When I tried to execute the game it show a txt file saying:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code: ...
