Screenshot of a positive Steam review in French, it says: "Chronotopia est un excellent visual novel. L’écriture est très bonne à la fois dans la construction du scénario et dans le texte. Les personnages sont réussis, qu’ils soient détestables, adorables, ou plein de nuances. Certains donnent même envie qu’ils aient une plus grande présence et de les connaître mieux, même sans que cela soit nécessaire à l’histoire. L’histoire combine habilement plusieurs contes plus ou moins délaissés et leurs variantes, tout en les altérant et en y ajoutant ses propres éléments. Le récit ainsi créé est lui-même comme un conte portant des messages adaptés à notre époque, avec de la pédagogie plus ou moins directe sur des sujets encore trop mal abordés — lorsqu’ils le sont. Les avertissements sur le contenu du jeu ne sont pas à négliger. Il y a de nombreux passages durs tout au long du jeu. C’est encore plus difficile quand on comprend ce que subit la protagoniste avant elle et de ne rien pouvoir faire. Cependant, le sombre est compensé par de l’humour jamais encombrant, de nombreuses interactions bienveillantes et des passages touchants. Les choix déterminant la route finale et la romance associée sont répartis tout au long de l’histoire mais on ne commence à voir des conséquences importantes sur les relations que relativement tard. Le jeu possède heureusement un système simple pour savoir vers quel destin on se dirige à chacun de ces choix, ce qui facilite l’exploration de tous les dialogues et de toutes les fins si on veut le faire sans l’aide d’un guide."
For the last highlight of #TheStorytellersFestival, I chose a compatriot because we did receive several nice French reviews. Many thanks to Danassean for this one! 🥖
Man, this little event was a challenge: it’s hard to only pick 5. I hope you enjoyed the effort nonetheless 😀.

Screenshot of a positive Steam review, it says: "I knew this game was dark, but it still caught me off guard. Before, I had limited knowledge of the Donkeyskin fairytale. And even then, my prior knowledge came from The Wolf Among Us. I originally backed it on Kickstarter, because it's not often I see characters that look like me, with sapphic love interests, no less! But it was the story that really roped me in. At first, I was inclined to romance Nahima, but by the end of her route I was eager to go for the fairy godmother instead. And she's my favorite love interest in the story, despite the final lover being more of the ideal ending and pairing. Wasn't really feeling that guy, though he was a far better match than the princes. I won't get too in detail about other aspects of the story or paths, but if you're worried about triggers, I def recommend checking those out before you play. That aside, I was pleasantly surprised to see some asexual and trans rep! The former wasn't much of a surprise, but the latter was. It was fairly subtle, too. Oh, and the archive lists numerous references to fairy tales that inspired the main story. There were a few I weren't familiar with, such as the shapeshifting near woman. So if you like dark fairytales, toxic romance (the princes are major yikes factor), and the relief of a happy ever after, I highly recommend this VN."
To celebrate #TheStorytellersFestival & show my gratitude to the community, I’ve decided to showcase a few especially lovely reviews we got for Chronotopia.
This one from The Schecter Seven happens to be the latest review we received. Many thanks to them! 🙂

Screenshot of a positive Steam review, it says: "Chronotopia has a lot of cool tricks up its sleeves. It starts off as a fairly typical fairytale retelling of Donkeyskin but quickly establishes its own style and spin on the concept: Kionna's story quickly deviates from the most well-known version of the story as she attempts to find her perfect ending, and I couldn't help but root for her as I watched her story unfold and her character evolve. In general, I tend to be wary of modern/new takes on fairytales. They are easy to get very wrong by making simple stories feel simplistic rather than exploring why these simple stories endure and evoke such strong emotions in readers. Chronotopia smartly avoids a lot of these pitfalls, first of all, by establishing the authors' extensive knowledge of European fairytales and folklore. The game relies on (with added documentation in the bonus section of the menu) dozens of attested variations on Donkeyskin, Cinderella, and other much less well-known stories to create a universe that feels both very grounded in actual details of medieval France and Italy as well as steeped in fairytales (pretty much every detail comes from one story or another, and it's delightful to chase these influences while following the narrative). It's not all perfect, especially at the beginning: there is a quite long and mostly irrelevant framing device that bogs down the start of the story, which means it took me a while to really immerse myself in the world. But I would encourage anyone intrigued by the premise (or wanting to learn more about European folklore) to give it a try."
To celebrate #TheStorytellersFestival & show my gratitude to the community, I’ve decided to showcase a few especially lovely reviews we got for Chronotopia.
Today’s pick comes from symptote. What can I say, I’m something of a fairytale nerd 🤓📖. Anyway, many thanks to them! 💖
