Life After Magic

fabulous. everything I want in a visual novel - cute characters with heart, drippy melodrama, sapphic pining - all written and paced with such easy confidence - one of my favourite VNs !!

shoutouts to the composer and sound designer also for excellent work

My crush for the game has turned into undying love! Pixal Art, music, and great story makes it a great game. 

loved it! the aesthetics are great (i am A SUCKER for pixel art), the soundtrack helps with the immersion, the cast is lovable and charming (esp anna lee<3, ara and leez), the plot is really interesting and the BBEG reveal was actually both bittersweet and unexpected. kj's character, while not my top favorite, really resonated with me as a nonbinary person, i really did feel seen, thank you :)

great game! would be happy to translate it to my first language so i can reccomend it to even more people, tho i have no idea how to code :")

5/5! thank you!!!

wwasnt planning on playing anything else tonight but the concept just hooked me in!!!!

So awesome game!!! I really enjoyed it and its explorations of what the aftermath of magical girl life is like, it is not something I see so often explored... For anyone scrolling through the comments, I can't say this won't be a spoiler-free comment, sorry!!

I really love the cast of characters in this game. They have great designs and I was invested in their different struggles as they went through life after being a magical girl. It left me wanting to replay the game more to see all the different routes with everybody and learn more about them... The art of the characters in this game is really stunning. I wasn't expecting the villain to also end up representing a different answer to the question of how life goes after such an impactful and unique position ends. From the start to the finish it all felt like it went full circle to the struggles of it from very different perspectives... so awesome... so ... good and awesome writing... 

The music was great and the background work is so well done!!!!!! It pulled me in in such a way I could just visualize the story in my head as if it was some sort of movie. My favorite (both the soundtrack and the background art ww) has to be Glamour Pop... Dunno how to describe it but its so good...

Now this is a sillier comment but the reveal of Anna Lee being the cause for the magic disappearing was intense!!! I was so stunned!!! Like, you could see it from foreshadowing placed here and there, but seeing it getting confirmed even more and more by different things was so cool... It all came together..!!!! When the possibility first came into my mind, i thought it'd be funny if the pretty businesswoman who doesn't seem to have anything to do with the incident was indeed the villain... So when the TV shows of disbanded magical girl teams came in I was like... "yo.... wouldn't it be funny if she was a magical girl lol"... And then I saw the name Avocado Anna, didn't process it for a second and laughed about the silly name, and then was absolutely dumbfounded at the fact it really was true... Such an intense reveal... Even if I had guessed it on a whim it really shocked me, it was so good...

So awesome game!!!!!! Thank you!!!

i remember going on and on about this game to a friend once 😅 then realized only then i had yet to leave a rating, so!

literally gonna go crazy over this game!! me when stories begin with and center around the aftermath of the most impactful moment/s of the cast's lives........ not to mention the gorgeous and thoughtful art, designs, music, and character writing! the layers on layers on layers, the themes, all so goood <33333 thank you so much for this stellar game!

I love this game SO MUCH!!! The story, the art, the overall aesthetic, the dialogues, everything is just amazing!! ♥

i haven't got to playing yet but im already inlove with everything 

Is there a walkthrough for the Pink Ink achievement? I tried to get it but couldn't figure it out.

I haven't even started playing yet. I just got to the main menu and had to leave a comment to say how much I adore the menu theme.

I really liked this!  Solaire sucks and I love him.

Would anyone possibly have any system requirements? My only computer option is an old netbook, but some VN engines are surprisingly resource heavy or only 64 bit systems.

I loved the retro feel and y2k aesthetic of this game. I always associate magical girls with the 90s, so it's an awesome backdrop to a phenomenal story. The artists, programmers, writers, composers and all those who worked on or otherwise touched this story deserve their flowers. 

I think this was a story that needed to be told, especially for all those who used magical girl stories as an escape and are now living as adults in an uncaring world where it literally feels like the world is about to end any second. We're constantly told stories about great heroes and how they used teamwork to defeat evil, but rarely do we get a peak at what happens after the violence ends. Each character is a wonderful and nuanced look at how people try to live their life after spending their childhood entrenched in (oftentimes, deadly) combat. While they may have overlapping feelings (some miss the purpose of a magical girl life and others see it as nothing more than traumatic), each character's perspective is unique. Don't even get me started about the romance aspect, I spent the entire game giggling and kicking my feet. Wonderful game, 5/5 stars.

...we need a part 2

I LOVED THIS GAME SM<3<3<3 it was an absolute masterpiece!!!!!

love the game! will the mac build from here ever go on steam?

What an amazing game, thank you for making it! The music was fantastic, the sprite work and animations incredible, and the writing was superb. I love these characters, and I'll be thinking about them for a while. Looking forward to your next game! Signed up for the newsletter.

Do yall plan on making the game available for steam deck?

Fun characters, cute and pretty sprites, awesome music and a compelling story that hits home to what it felt like when i was in my early 20s. Quality trans and nonbinary representation AND we get to learn the backstory of the hot villainess! Played with some friends and we had so much fun, beyond highly recommend

what an absolute blast! I got this game off the queer games bundle and thoroughly enjoyed the story, the routes, and getting to explore the misery of going through my early twenties again. definitely recommend!

So happy I finally got to play ya'lls game! I absolutely ADORED it !The music, the style and story had so much charm, it made me feel so cozy and smile so much.

Just finished my first playthrough. This is SUCH a great concept and so well executed. The writing was adorable and the pixel art really gives it the 90's charm.

Great job, y'all!
