Syrup 2 - v0.3.5 test build
Added 2022-12-30 02:01:55 +0000 UTCIT'S READY...! this build has over 2 years of progress and polish since the demo version! it might take like 5-6 hours to play through the whole thing, so make sure to take breaks!!
[[ download unavailable ]] (2025 update: sorry a new build is coming and the old one was hosted through itchio, so it was deleted when i launched the public game page)
you can check the game page for more details. if you're not able to access either of those pages for some reason, let me know and i can send you an alternate link!
uhh let's see... some main points for this:
some screens are marked as WORK IN PROGRESS, those aren't finalized (ok i guess this was obvious but the astrology stuff in particular might change a ton)
you can get to astra's apothecary by chapter 6 or 7, but you can't do much there yet. it's a feature i didn't have time to get to for this build haha.
i'm still refining the battles and adding animations, so they will continue to get fancier (especially later ones!)
i plan on writing more events for the side characters, but i'm focusing on the main story first since that's more important. (there's still a lot of events anyway... omg)
there's partial controller support, but i recommend having a mouse/keyboard on hand because i haven't tested a controller-only run yet
i'm sure i had more notes, but i can't think of anything else i wanted to point out... this game is really big so i have a lot to say about all the little parts..... umm PLEASE DON'T SHARE SPOILERS OR ANYTHING, there's some huge plot things going on in this that i want to keep a surprise!!!
oh, and send me bug reports if you run into anything strange! DM, email, or comments here are all completely fine :) i'll update the build if anyone finds a crash somehow.
HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

2023-01-23 19:42:38 +0000 UTCFinally got around to playing this. I had a really great time with it, I sort of sat down expecting to play a little after work and stayed up all night 100%ing it instead lol,,, The systems in the game are all really simple and fun to play with without feeling completely brainless, I did wind up getting a lot of use out of items. (The revive is, intensely abusable. I beat what I think is the hardest fight by sheer attrition after crafting 100 and not grinding levels the whole game.) As usual the story is really where it shines of course, I think it might be my favorite of your works yet, the characters really get room to breath and it has that cozy JRPG party vibe at points, if that makes sense. Really love the development for all the characters this time around, and I appreciate all of the world building happening. It really feels like a place with history and things happening outside the core story. In my playtime I also only experienced one bug which was the sugar icon for the common sucker recipe didn't load. This happened once and never again, no clue why. I could probably gush for a while longer, but I'll just leave it at that I'm very excited to see the final product here. It's shaping up to be an incredible game and I've already thoroughly enjoyed everything up to this point.

2023-01-23 14:57:20 +0000 UTCAfter 2 days of grinding and getting every possible interaction I gotta say I really love where the game/story is going. And the fact is only 75% of the whole game I already know it’s gonna be a hit game from the previous one. Thanks Nami for this experience!!

2023-01-01 05:03:32 +0000 UTCAaaa just finished getting 100% it was so good!! I especially loved all the new peristille content omgg I love those boys so much aaa. Also Souffle was so cool!!!! I had been looking forward to seeing his appearance since you shared his concept art ages ago, he's absolutely my favorite character design you've made, and the hype was totally worth it omg he's great! Really hoping that in the full version you get to show him more cakes ehe, absolutely love the Souffle interactions. Ooh and Lime was also really cool I love him! Playing through the new build was a ton of fun! Greatly looking forward to how the rest plays out :)

2023-01-01 04:55:50 +0000 UTCPlayed the entire thing, and I gotta say this is grand. Getting to see Syrup interact with other characters after a while was a blast, and reminds me of how cool she is. The crafting system is fun to work with and the side quests are super satisfying to fufill. I can't wait to see how this continues yo!
