I loved this one! So beautifully written and imaginative. The art is awesome, with its vintage black-and-white charm and so much in the spirit of the story. I got Ending 8 first and then unlocked every other one - all in just one evening.
I also started The Empress of Aeser but got stuck quite early into it.
hello, i wanted to play this on my macbook air but it doesn't work, when i launch it on itch it just shows this blank screen with nothing to press on ): tried reinstalling & still the same thing. need help huhu i was rly excited to play
Unfortunately, I have the worst time troubleshooting anything mac, as I do not own one, so I can't guarantee when this will be fixed, especially because I am working on a different version of this game that will supercede the version you downloaded.
In the meantime, you could try the twine version, which is browser based and fairly reliable. (By navigating to the Asher game page and clicking the button "play visual novel")
Oh wow! I've tried to play it as friendly to everyone as possible, and boy, oh boy, did they make it difficult at times! I kept on thinking: please, don't kill Rosemary for my decisions. Please–
I loved the writing (the descriptions! the pacing in Acts II and III!), but this line especially: Tetrine projected her most skeptical tone—the one she reserved for patrons who returned damaged books or no books at all. :D
The Act I was a bit hard to get into, but I think it was mostly because of all the clickable words, I never knew whether the next word would open a new "window", further the story, or if it was just a hidden sentence. It got a bit frustrating to use the "Back" button so often, but around Act II, I no longer had this issue so I think it got more balanced by then!
Anyways, my first one was Ending V! That was... intense. I need to process it a little before trying other things. But it was a great experience, I liked the slow reveal of things and I want to know more about all of the characters.
Btw, I only did one run so far, but you should definitely change the average session time to longer than half an hour! :)
Wow, Markaius is so quick to turn around and become an absolute ass. I played through some options back-and-forth and he switches between cruel and bitter or all oohh I'm sorry I'm the good guy. I was looking for redeeming qualities but that all seems like a facade. :0

You had me at the Vincent Millay quote, tbh. She's my favorite.
Thank you! She's my favorite as well. I am thankful her estate permitted me to use the quote. (They were really kind!)
