Just finished binging this essentially in one day and it was fantastic! I loved the character writing and the pacing was perfect. And aaahh that ending point! Do you have any estimates for when Volume Two will come out?

hi! i'm having an issue i don't understand that can hopefully be fixed?

when i download either of the two zips available from buying misericorde here, opening them in windows explorer has windows throw up a "The compressed folder is invalid" error. i can open them with a program like 7zip, but extracting them results in everything going smoothly up until the archive.rpa file in the game subfolder, which gets halted mid-extraction with a "Data error" error, leaving it extracted as a partial file. in this state, the game does not run when i open the executable. i'm not sure what's happening here :(

Amazing game, great cast and some of the best character dialogue I've read since Disco Elysium. I'm extremely excited to see more! 

A wonderful, wonderful story throughout. Can't wait for volume two. Great sense of humor and mystery, right down to the main character's incomplete perspective on the various colorful characters, and the obvious love for the source material and setting is on full display in every scene. Hedwig is a real joy of a protagonist, and her fish-out-of-water perspective is thoroughly fleshed out. Well done.

Left this as a review but I also want to leave it as a comment for other people to see. 5/5:

Misericorde is phenomenal. Every character has such interesting depth, and the aesthetic is so perfect for the story. But the really captivating part about Misericorde is the exploration of the difference in our perception of people, and the reality of their words and actions. Hedwig weaves such an interesting story, with the right amount of suspense and mystery, while serving as a fascinating narrator. I enjoyed the long look into the different characters lives and how each scene built upon my understanding of who they are. The writing does a great job of pulling emotional strings. I had to pause several scenes because they made me cry. This is a story I'll be thinking about for a long, long time.

Just absurdly good.

I just finished volume one and am absolutely obsessed! These characters are utterly fantastic and you did a really great job with playing with the social dynamics that would've come up in historical abbeys as places both of devotion to god but also places for society to stow troublesome women who have good enough standing to avoid worse fates but not so good as to be allowed back into regular society. I love Hedwig too what a wonderfully miserable little wretch! Thank you so much for your hard work!

Is this made with Renpy? I'm very intrigued! Yaaay historical game! I can get Ren'py to run on a mac, but I need to know what engine is used before I purchase :)

I had an absolute blast reading through this, it really scratches that mystery/suspense VN itch in a way I've not experienced in a long time! The characters are fantastically unique and well written, especially Hedwig who is an extremely interesting protagonist to be in the head of. On top of that the soundtrack has some real bangers.

Really can't recommend this enough if you're into mystery stories, especially if you like stuff like Umineko (there's When They Cry vibes but it's enough of its own thing to distinguish itself also!)

My only complaint is that I'm going to be all impatient in waiting for Volume Two to come out!

I'll write an actual review but first I just want to say what moved me to comment in the first place: Framing Story Hedwig talks like a Dark Souls NPC, and I think that's wonderful.

The writing, backgrounds and music come together to create a really great atmosphere. The character designs do amazing work to visually distinguish a cast of characters that necessarily all wear the same clothes, and their personalities are just as distinct and vividly rendered. I'm excited to learn more about each of them!

Hedwig's ultra-religious perspective makes her a fascinating protagonist, especially seeing her immediately run up against the reality of the normal nuns, who (gasp) curse, and complain about the Superior's singing, and don't follow a strict and extensive prayer schedule. It's fascinating both cause that's not a typical perspective in a story and cause I remember, long ago, being a very religious little child who was scandalized by all sorts of normal stuff.

This is clearly a serious story overall, but complemented by a great sense of humor that runs throughout. The lunch scene was a pleasure to read.

I don't have a good way to conclude this, except to say I'm looking forward to the full volume one!

Just finished the demo and I wanted to say, what a treat! Hedwig is a delight of a protagonist to follow, and the mystery and supernatural elements of the whole thing are so intriguing??

The soundtrack is also excellent!!

I’m super looking forward to the rest of the story and getting to know the rest of the cast!

Sorry for the obscene amount of exclamation points here–I’m a bit excitable when I enjoy a story.

This won’t affect me playing or looking forward to the full story, but out of curiosity, are there going to be choices and multiple endings or is this just one linear story?

Looking forward to the rest >:3c Good luck with your work on this!
