--NOTE--

Hello! pipalapeda here.

Arcticed is my first visual novel, created for Winter VN Jam 2025.
This game is currently in demo form, so changes and improvements may happen in the future.

Please note that Arcticed is not my main project, so I can’t promise frequent updates just yet—but I’ll do my best whenever I have the time.

Also, English is not my first language.
I wrote the script with the help of a translator, so please feel free to let me know if you notice any grammar mistakes or bugs in the game.
I would really appreciate it, as it helps me learn and improve.

In love with this vn already, thank uu pipi for this masterpiece >⁠.⁠<

I hope its able to be played in browser some day! excited to play if that happens :)

damn I'm still playing as of typing this. A) art style and design is surplus B) I think I'm keeping the fire crackling on loop, I'm sure sound design in general is incredible
C) my gosh I love MC/Seven being a smart cookie, and oh lawd I ADORE the demon. giving me a bit of tsundere/himedere vibes

I have some thoughts and theories up in my head already, although I barely saw the whole game. thanks and respect fully going to the creator, this is so fun and entertaining to play!

Out of all the visual novels I’ve played, this is probably the most comfortable one—both in terms of visuals and story progression; I’ll be eagerly awaiting the continuation.❤️❤️

I really love all these dialogues that help me really love this character. I feel like I'm really talking to someone, and it's fun. I love Naku, he's funny.

(+6)

Pipi I just want to say I love how much you write your characters!! He is kinda incredible I was immediately bewitched by him like I also was by a certain jester....

I am so excited to see more of the characters from both your works! Thank you so much! ♡♡♡

gahhh this is awesome! i really like how you designed naku and wrote the story as well as the dialogue. i liked trying to gauge naku's reactions; he really seems like the type to like getting his ego stroke xc overall, i'm hooked!

Oh Pipi, between the one art with the special ingredient of the soup and what you said about a certain Jester`s bodily fluids, "spicy cream soup" has never been more suspicious

He look's like The Knocker haha XD

I cannot believe that there aren't as many comments as I expected, the artstyle is eye-catching so I assumed that there would be more reviews. I loved the animations, it's hard to believe that this is someone's frist game after seeing the dedication.
As for the script, there are indeed some mistakes. Most of them are just simple mistakes, like the missuse of a dot or capitals, but here's what I thought that could be re-phrased (I want to clarify that I'm also not sure if what I'm saying is correct or not, since English is also not my first language).

Since the same words are repeated later you could use another adjetive, such as "blunt". I'm not sure if a translator would offer you different adjetives, but checking out an urban dictionary could help.

Image

I think it's more fitting to say:

"There's something with the way he said my name. It made a cold sweat run down my back, not even the freezing wind from outside can make it dissappear" 

Image

"He said that like it was the most normal/common thing in the world."


I'm only pointing these out since you requested it on the game's desc. I think that the game is properly made, hopefully you don't give up and continue it.

This was a wonderful start to the game! I love Nuka, his design is so fun! Looking forward to Day 2!
