this was an absolute treat to play!! the backgrounds are rich and paint the scene beautifully, the character art is (pleasing to the eye wink) expertly executed, and the story perfectly builds its world up and delivers a clear tale that is enjoyable multiple reads through. my first route was the swordmistress, but i think it was the empress that ultimately captured my heart the most <3

thank you so much for playing and for leaving a comment! especially glad to hear that the story holds up over multiple read-throughs!!

Really fun romp through a world that is exceptionally well-realized within the brief playtime. Each member of the team was clearly firing on all cylinders. Swordmistress route was my favorite and I thought her facial expressions in the dialogue scenes were really funny. Sorry to the titular errant knight, always being thrown around and harassed, but I think she'd be much less happy as a court eunuch. 

wow, I'm really glad our hard work shone through clearly! thank you so much for your kind and thorough comment, and thank you for playing!

Such a well crafted VN on all fronts! I don't have much experience with wuxia stories, but I really appreciated how immersed in the historical setting this was, even with the knights at times insanely funny(and horny) thoughts.

I played through every single route, and even though the swordmistress is 100% my type(salt and pepper haired older woman with muscles my beloved) I found myself really enjoying the empress route as well! (and the ??? route was just the cherry on top, truly a wish fulfillment for this gay disaster of a knight)

I also thought the art assets were incredibly polished, and the sprites managed to show so much character between these two ladies.

Overall such a good game, the team should feel proud at what they accomplished!

thank you so much for your detailed feedback—it makes me really happy to hear that the story and characters engaged you enough that you played through all the routes!

This is extremely well-written!! The internal reflections from the Knight on their desire to be disciplined/punished are compelling, and it only makes the endings more satisfying. Many good things here!

And the sprites/background illustrations are so insanely pretty!!! Extremely polished game in all respects.

thank you so much! it means a lot that you found it so compelling, and I'm so happy you enjoyed it overall—thank you for playing and commenting!

swordmistress is just so fine...

loved this, such a fun and steamy story!! so pleased to see someone take inspo from wuxia and really get to play with the dynamics the setting offers. yessss the crawling.... perfect. amazing.

what a treat to get to listen to the knight's thoughts start to overwhelm them as they get more intwined within the games that both women try to play. me too squire.

such fun designs for the characters, you know things are gonna Go Down when they got The Eyes. BGs were perfectly wistful to get me immersed and look like right out of a photoshoot! appreciated the choices being both subtle to the plot + telling of the knight's personality -and the little morsel of a hint of established history between....?? so juicy so good...

fantastic work to the team!!!!!!!!
