--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.

Thank you for making this game, it's very interesting and attractive...
I hope you finish it one day <3
I can choose my gender?
I don't want to accuse anyone, but it feels like the text was made with AI, judging by the certain character's phrases and speech. Had too many hours talking with different AI, so for me it's quite obvious. No judging here, but I recommend to rewrite certain parts yourself, so it will look more alive and original. And certantly the grammar errors should be corrected in the future.
Despite everything, the art style used for both BG and characters is cool and pleasant to look at, add bonus for many different Naku's expressions. The whole novel's concept is interesting, the setting is for sure.
I hope, if you'll manage to be develop all your projects succesufuly, remember that you have to be satisfied with them yourself. Good luck!:3
They downvote you but you're lowkey might be right. I relate to what you've said, I also have a huge experience with ai chats. No way one moment it's all mistakes/missing words and written in a casual-ish style and the other the description gets literature style with all the proper grammar present. I'm not even mentioning how there's obvious popular quotes that ai like deepseek and ChatGpt often repeat over and over in their sentences.
Thank you, your points are quite valid. I was hoping that someone would also notice this and confirm my thoughts. You've done this even with examples ! But unfortunately, for some reason, some people tacitly disagreed with this, though I also noted that the author did their best in many other ways. Apparently some people can't read more than two sentences before making a decision.
Hey I just want to jump in that I do follow the creator and one of their other projects, it's because they aren't a native English speaker and some things and wordings can translate weird and make it sound ai, and also translators generally can make things sound weird in general
I talk to people regularly who use translators part time. This is very standard behaviour and by itself not indicative of AI. I don't know what you mean with "regular phrases". These AI bots are mostly trained on fanfiction to my knowledge and tend to overuse highly specific phrases in each individual case (except maybe the many Y/N base bots. Not sure about those). I don't interact with AI bots myself though. It's something I've noticed through YouTube passively over the years. They must have some dubious source at least, because lore mistakes are common. The Y/N centered bots, I've seen less of, but there seems to be a streak of being so over the top, it reads a bit like a comedy. Or perhaps a soap opera.
ME ENCANTÓ!!! Es de las únicas veces en un otome que he visto que de verdad tenemos la oportunidad dentro del juego de conocer al interés amoroso, de hablar con el directamente y crear un lazo con el!!! Lo amo muchísimo y espero sigan con el proyecto <3
I really like this already! You have such a talent with making charismatic characters that are immiedately likable and engaging. Hope to see more!
Do you have socials? I'd like to follow you! This game is so peak!!
They have two Tumblrs! :D I think they might also have a Twitter for uncensored spicy if that's your thing

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.❤️❤️
