Mirage Noir (Full Demo)

Saw this game after watching epykslion play it. I honestly enjoyed watching the play through, the mystery and romace was so amazing. I've played so many visual novels and I gotta say this is top tier. I loved the how you made the side characters to, they already seem so developed and feel like how an actual person would be!!! I loved this and I wished i could have been there for the kickstater live but can't wait to buy the game once it releases

Hey! Ive played the current demo on steam and can I just say I love LOVE the game so far???? 

It's really rare for me to want to romance all the love intetests but Mirage Noir makes me want to go through all the full routes when the game comes out?? I really like the comedy in this game as I've cackled multiple times. "Its expensive to live right now." "Thanks Theirry. :/" The soundtracks are also bangers btw I REALLY love the music :D

I also really like Yunie as a MC because she seems realistic and relatable (to me). Her shocked sprite is really funny to me LMAO. 

I love the evidence/detective aspect of the game too! Ive always been a theorist at heart so the detective aeshetic/evidence mechanics were fun to me, similar to how I enjoyed Genshin Impact's Fontaine archon quest trials!!

Overall I love the game aahhh!! Cant wait for the full release im really looking forward to this game :] 

On a completely different side note, are fans allowed to make a Yunie-oc/Yunie-sona? I've always hand a habit to make a sona or oc for romance games! Since Yunie is her own character (imo)  im wondering if thats encouraged or discouraged?

I haven't fully finished the demo yet, but so far I'm greatly enjoying it. The music and the art are both wonderful.

I like Yunie. She's not perfect. Moments of hypocrisy spring out at times, such as when she's annoyed in her mind about Detective Bill for lacking compassion for Misha despite having done the same moments before with the "drunk" criminal. In any case, she seems to lack empathy for the victims of Misha herself.

Arguably, she's pretty naïve and self-centered herself. She works at a detective agency, i.e., a field related to criminal justice, yet seems to lack a strong moral compass and is overall unconcerned for victims. She centers on the entertainment of solving a case only (or investigating criminals). It's befitting of someone who hasn't been exposed to or hasn't personally experienced being a victim of a crime. 

I think she has a lot of potential to grow as a character as a result, of learning to see her job as something beyond a fun puzzle. Also, of the little I have seen of Detective Bill, he actually seems like a pretty cool dude. I like the effort put into fleshing out the side characters, even those that the main character seems to despise :)

Heyo! Just wondering how much the full game will be, and if paying early will be a thing? ^^

I haven't had this many laughs from a game in a long time. The dialogue is witty and the character interactions are flavorful, even with side characters like Fio. I adore Jem with all my heart, he's such a sweetheart. Please let me adopt his cats ;_;

I say that, but I actually ended up loving all four love interests, which is very rare for me. They all have such unique personalities and Yunie meshes so well with them. Speaking of Yunie, I love her! She's intelligent, honest, and spunky when she needs to be, but is aware of her weaknesses. I found her to be a very relatable protagonist. Her relationship with Fio is also really sweet, it's nice to see wholesome female friendships (though I feel a little sus about Fio).

The graphics and GUI are beautiful. I spent some time just sitting and admiring everything and wondering how one person could put together such a polished demo. The writing is solid and engaging (I imagine writing a detective mystery must be difficult, but you pulled it off really well), the mini-games are fun, the characters are memorable and bounce off each other well, the MC is likable, and the graphics are beautiful (I read that you commissioned all the art. I can't imagine how expensive that must have been!)

I had a lot of fun playing Mirage Noir's demo and liked it more than some commercial otome games I played on Steam. I look forward to experiencing the full story and romancing the guys, so hopefully the kickstarter will be fully funded. I'll definitely donate what I can for such a fun and well-made game.

I loved the game a lot! At first I was skeptic to try it because VNs are usually a hit or miss to me because I've been looking for something different from the typical JP otoges. But wow, I'm really glad I took the risk with this one! It reminded me of bustafellows, but Mirage Noir definitely exceeded my expectations. All characters are endearing (i'll offer my life to my goddess fio) and I honestly had fun trying out all the route! Alexei and Jem have my heart tho. <3 I'm really looking forward for more and for the kickstarter! Wish you all the best, devs!

This looks amazing!! You had me hooked the moment you mentioned the words "detective" and "found family". I will definitely be wishlisting this!

LOVEEEEEEEEELYYYYYY GAMEEEE!!!!!! <3

What a good game. 10/10

Usually i don't comment on games, but i just finished the demo and i'm already in love. The game is really fun, everything is very pleasing to the eye and the concept in general makes you want to play some more. The minigame was a first too, and i immediately replayed it. Can't wait to play the extended demo and pay for the full game !

i love this game with everything in my body. im in love with fio, Thierry, and alexei. i suck at saying names so i had to make up whatever came to mind with those three but i loved this game sm and im so surpised it doesnt cost money to play! its so good and i hope you make the full game bc it was so entertaining! <

Taking time to comment ! 

I feel SO useless to give out some proper feedback, because I'm just like "IT WAS SO FUN" and have nothing very constructive to say 😭😭 But here I go !

OK, so I said I'll say who my fave is and if we exclude Yunie (because that cutie pie is so fun to be around and I always love the MCs), it would be Thierry. I knew for SURE I'd be interested in him because of his looks (I... tend to like white, long haired calm looking MLs + add the royal part, he has a "blue" theme and I'm so very much hooked) but heck when I heard his theme, aaaaa ! I was saying "I'm doomed". Jem was a close second tho, very close to bias-wreck me because of how CUTE he is ❤

A bit more organized opinion :

- Game in general :

I LOVE IT, the UI looks soooo good and clean, it feels very "finished" and polished. I love the fact that there's an ACTUAL SCREENSHOT BUTTON so I can just spam S instead of doing Win+ Imprécr 😭😭 Whoever thought of this, thank you, it was one of my biggest need for a PC otome since I'm a screenshot spammer 😭💕

I like the fact that there's disability options, tho I have no use for them, it's great for those who need them ! The soundtrack is great and has this "city" ambiance, which immediately hooks you into it. All the other soundtracks are good too, I enjoyed them quite a lot ~

- The story

It had no buisness making me stress the very FIRST minute in with a TIMED choice, but my motto is "always go left" so instincts kicked, then panic 😭😭😭 At least it was very immersive. I'm curious about her vision of the future (?) and what the whole truth is ! 

Also I just played a game where drugs, hallucinogens and illegal trafficking were involved so I'm super scared for the whole intrigue (worried about the heartbreak we might face), but super excited overall ! 

Now the characters :

- Jem 

He's sooooooooo cute dang 😭💕 I was like "if they give him a good blushy sprite, I'll need to throw in some extra €€€ when the Kickstarter launches". And he had. 2. GORGEOUS. Blush. Sprite. I was SOLD

Also, he's soooooo nice to Yunie naturally it was soooo refreshing aaaaawn

- Alexei

Gangsta who is supposed to kick small animals but seems very funny and chill ! I love his "annoyed" sprite and his banter with Thierry, they feel real ! He's actually not foul-mouthed as I was worried (like, swearing every sentence) so I feel relieved ! Thank you for not being rude at all !! 💕💕 

I think you're quite enjoyable to be around but next time plz do NOT hit our cutie Yunie to hide where you're taking her 😭😭

- Thierry 

Beautiful prince, with a public/private image, my type of appearance... I love the way he talks tbh and his suspicion about Yunie is realistic seeing his standing ! I love his theme very very much and I took a break while listening to it as it was quite nice to do 🤣💕 His exchanges with Alexei are really top-tier, they feel quite like siblings 👌🏾👌🏾

- Sami

He's so funny I can't start to point out where 😭😭 I love his little commentaries when they had to escape the prison, the way he was just silently peeking at Yunie not saying anything when she woke up, his aloof, straight to the facts way of speaking... Also the glitter + music prank is a 10/10 recommend 🤣💕

Relationships : The found family part is NAILED, I was not disappointed !! I like when the whole cast have this kind of bonds and it seems natural and not forced ~

Yunie having just appeared didn't make it awkward (except of course at the beginning) and she blended in naturally, it felt very good to read !

Feature Feedback (?) :

- I'm not sure if it will have any importance/utility (?) but as an add on a glossary would be nice ! I really like to go back and just read glossaries entries of games, I just find it neat. But it might not be useful so nvm this part !

- Not sure if it's included already for the rest of the game etc, but when Yunie was observing the cadaver, I would have loved to have this part as an interactive moment, like in AA with a small magnifying glass so we can choose where to look first ! It would be enjoyable to have this, but it's obviously not necessary ☺️

- The escape part was definitely a big GOOD surprise !!!!! I was like "let's go with the hard mode it'll be fun" because I know I read a bit fast. So, the dual text didn't bother me, but I think it is a bit small tbh ! Maybe another screen format for this part or a bigger text might make it easier to read. 

Congratulations to the dev team and everyone involved, you're doing a fine and mighty job !!!!

PS : Fio is gorgeous ✨

very nice!
