I really enjoyed playing the game, it is very much worth the price. I love the characters (specially Guntur and Maya) and the storyline is very interesting and fun, I had lots of fun playing Nusantara, thank you very much for creating the game!
I have just one question: there's a missing CG in the Antagonists route, second page in the gallery, the last CG number 4 out of 5, I have played the route twice but I can't see to unlock it.
Hello Mari867! Thank you for giving my VN a chance and congrats on finishing it! 🥳
I'm glad to hear you're thoroughly enjoyed yourself! As for the 4th out of 5 antagonist CG... I checked and it seems that I made a small mistake with the coding and it didn't appear ^^; I'll update the file ASAP!
*SPOILER ALERT*
If you're curious, it's a variation where the shadow hands disappeared, leaving only the Gems & Kaiden looking bewildered (leading up to good end)
Thank you for notifying me of this error! *Bows*
Update: the build 1.4.5 is live now! The CG is at its proper place (after solving the last, hardest puzzle in antagonist route) error should be fixed ^.^)/
Itch.io and Steam are different platforms so you'll need to repurchase if you want to play on Steam ^.^)/ the only difference is the achievement system, otherwise, the game is the same so it's a matter of your preference~
Woo!! Congrats again on publishing your first commercial VN! Been here since The Legend of Winged Ones and an active lurker in the devlogs(not active enough bc I missed the release date) I've finally finished the antagonist route last night, accomplished every route in this month.
And phew, what a ride for the antagonist route, it's such a gut punching, bittersweet ending despite being a good ending. The final CG of MC and him are well done(and other words that I can't describe). I can see the pain in his eyes as he decided to do the right thing.
I love the characters! They are charming and lovable but the top 2s are Arya and Antagonist. I kinda regret going for Arya's route first because Guntur and Kahlil(especially Kahlil) didn't have a proper chance to shine because I skipped most of the story and only read the new dialogues and events after finishing Arya's route.
Because of that I feel a bit inadequate to compare them to Arya's and Antagonist's route. So next replay, I probably do Kahlil's route first.
My favorite routes are
Arya > Antagonist > Guntur(the teasing towards MC are funny and both of them have fun dynamic) > Kahlil(I don't hate him, it's just that his route is the least memorable one😔)
After playing all 4 routes, the endings does felt a bit rush, I was expecting a little reunion for MC's family, their reactions to MC's bachelor and her overall feelings about the whole adventure for the ending. Not getting it felt...off? Because how I see it is that we've been building up MC's family and her dynamic with them at the beginning, to showcase how important they are to her and not seeing any interactions afterwards felt off.
Honestly that's it for my criticism for the game, the game is like solid 9/10 for me. I'll probably replay in the near future.
(I will buy any dlc/extra content for any of the bachelors(especially Arya and Antagonist) if you ever plan it, Antagonist needs more love from MC!!!)
Hi, Mishira! congrats on finishing all the routes and thank you so much for the feedback! ^///^
I'm glad to see you've enjoyed yourself <3 thank you for the support and for loving my boys >///<
The endings do have a considerable time skip and I thought the readers would've enjoyed to insert their own imaginations here, but I see that's not true! So thank you for bringing this to my attention ^.^)/ I'll take note and do my best to improve the epilogues--maybe a bit more detail & description, or one more scene to give it a nicer finish
Unfortunately, I have a habit of "once I close a book, it ends" so no DLC unfortunately Q_Q I prefer to use more time to develop my next project, so I can only apologize if you want a DLC or smth more about the antagonist >_<; *bows*
Once again, thank you for your support! Stay tuned for my next project's details! xoxo,
Aaah, I thought so too when I saw how short the endings are. I guess I got so used to the family that I was expecting to see them by the end and their reactions. Especially mom's and Mawar's towards the main 3 bachelors.
I'm always up for reading the MC's thoughts and feelings despite how very self insert-sy I am when it comes to dating sim VN, I still think it's a nice touch, even if there's a chance it might not line up with the readers.(Which I think it's a rare occurrence)
And aaww ಥ‿ಥ poor antagonist, guess he'll have to live rent free in my head.
I'll be looking forward to your next project! I hope you have more angst and tsundere(or something alike) cooking up!(No pressure, just tropes I like in VN, I'll still be supporting your next project no matter what!)
Hi, SweetChiel, I'm having a blast with Bermuda, was waiting for it all these years!
I have a UI question - is there somewhere where you can find autosaves in-game? In some Ren'Py games there is an "A" or something in the Load section near the page numbers, but couldn't find them in Bermuda( Asking because the game crashed when I was skipping seen text on a second playthrough and the last manual save was a loooong time ago >.< I went to the Saves folder and renamed an autosave file to a "normal one" to get access, but maybe there's an easier way and I just dont know how) Thanks in advance!
Also, for future replays (to get to the Antagonist route) - do you need to replay from the beginning (from mirror choice), or does in branch later? For example, if I choose the blue mirror, can I start doing Guntur events on the Isles and get his route, or am I locked in Arya's?
Hi, sherkin! Thanks for asking! Actually, the auto saves are there--if you go to the Load screen, you see there's a "<< 1 2 3 4 5 >>" icons right? If you're on page 1 and click the "<<" icon, you'll be directed to the auto save files!
you can also use the ">>" icon to go more than 10 pages. I like to think of this as a hidden function that users can discover by themselves--but my bad ^^;
As for the Antagonist route, once you get all 3 good endings, the mirrors should turn clear on the main menu and a black mirror will appear. Once this happens, just click on "New Game". You'll notice there are suble differences and you acn now pick the Black Mirror! this means you've unlocked the Antagonist route! But of course, if you choose the other mirrors, you'll be directed to the main 3 routes.
As for what mirror to choose in the beginning... you can choose whatever you want! It won't lock you to a bachelor so early, but if you want to pick the antagonist route, you MUST choose the Black Mirror. It's the hardest route of them all so I suggest to save often~ ^.^)/
Ah, thank you, I thought it should be somewhere, but didn't think to click on "<<" (but I did click on ">>" and thought that the other one just skips to page 1 xD). It's not your bad, it's my bad))
Got it! Looking forward to antagonist route! ^^
also a spoilery? question, if its okay - maybe there will be answers in other routes, sorry for the impatience, I like the game to much (will try to hide spoliers)

Had a couple of thoughts on second playthrough - one of the merchants in Autumn village sells rice, imported from Spring village - but Spring is destroyed? Is the Antagonist using zombies on the fields??
Another thought is that there are no dryads in Autumn because they where all ancient and are now dead =(
Also, nice to see the Winged One guys and Rama with a blue hair lock ^^ guess Rama's the canon guy!
Wow, you're very thorough! Thank you for asking X'D
**SPOILERS ALERT**
So yes, while the merchants often advertise their rice to be from spring village, it's not necessarily true. It could've been from other places, but because Spring Village's popularity is high, they borrowed the name just so they can sell better 😂
Another answer (a darker one): since the antagonist had hypnotized the Autumn villagers early, the merchants would've obtained rice somewhere else and thought they had obtained it from the Spring Village. Because it's the "routine" they had in their memories.
As for the Dryads, yes they're a very reclusive tribe and history hasn't been kind to them. Now, the survivors are either asleep now in their own trees in the forest or just live in hiding.
As for Rama... Before I answer this, have you played Winged Ones? X'D I'll try to give a spoilerless answer: Yes, out of the other bachelors, he needed Tamara the most.
Hi I absolutely loved Arya's route, I actually had Guntur grow on me a lot, and I regretted doing Arya's first! I'm on Guntur's route now, but there's a bug where every time I press 'do laundry' as my option, the game returns to the main menu. So I've had to stop doing laundry as a task TTwTT Trying to get to the antagonists' route though! Just thought I'd mention~
Such an awesome game and the local references really make me homesick for Jakarta TT_TT Been loving it!
Ah, yes, a few people also have encountered that bug but strangely enough, I can't seem to encounter that bug no matter what I do x_x I can't fix it if I don't know what's wrong with it, so... my apologies!
Fortunately, it's a minor bug and it doesn't affect anything--I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yourself though! Take your time and if you need me, I'm here! ^.^)/
I'm also a game developer, I've been working in renpy for a while.
Not sure if the bug is just related to the variable conditions because I noticed once I reached 100 points, it got a bit glitchy.
I'm also not sure if another possibility is the variables written for events might be bugged, or the events themselves might have an "if else, return" variable.
Might need some further proofreading.
Awesome first commercial project though, super proud. Mine is coming out in february (the demo) so I'm playing other ones for inspo <3
Hi, sherkin! Noted and I apologize for the discomfort! T_T I still can't find the code that's causing this error so this is going to be an ongoing problem until I can find the dang code line that caused this
Yes, I agree. It would've been nice if I have second opinion/another programmer that can check my codes--are you also Indonesian? O_O if yes, can you please add me on discord? My username is sweetchiel
I'd really love to have your help, maybe for my next project if I encounter another similar problem! ^.^)/
Hi there! I actually noticed some grammar mistakes and omitted words (I'm only on chapter 3 so far) but where would be best to point them out to you? :)
Oh my god, it's published!!! Biggest congratulations for finishing this project, I've been silently cheering you on for so many years, and I'm not sure if you remember my comment from about 2 years ago, but it feels like watching a friend go through something amazing! Really proud of you working on this and getting it all done by yourself!
I'm sad to see it's been out for a while but I missed it because of some personal stuff, but I'm really looking forward to sitting down and playing the entire game. I didn't want to spoil anything for myself, so I never even opened the demo version, deciding to be patient instead. 😂 I'm sure it all paid off, and remembering how good the first game was this one can only be better!
Once again, congratulations from the bottom of my heart. I will keep cheering you on (albeit silently), and I'm really looking forward to see what next you have in store! Wishing you all the best in life and work ❤️
Thank you very much, Alice Gone Mad! ^///^ Oh dear, the years I spent is nothing compared to the patience and everlasting support from all of you! Q_Q And don't worry, you didn't miss anything! Bermuda and I will always be here, so take your time! Don't hesitate to ask/give me critiques later <3 I do hope I reach your expectations but I always strive to learn to be better!
On a more serious note, I will put up a poll on today's update! You can help me decide what my next project will be so stay tuned~
Thanks again for coming out to show me your love and support, Alive Gone Mad >///<
I finished this game and it's a 10/10 for me. This is perfect! I am sad it even ended, I wanted more T_T. Also the antagonist end was amazing. I loved it the most! I wanted to see more of what happens after their good end even if it ended on a hopeful note.
Awww, thank you and congrats on finishing the game, littlegal100! >///< I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourself--don't hesitate to tell me if you have any critiques! I always appreciate the thought & want to improve myself to be better <3
Just bought it, I remember playing this many years ago and thinking it was never gonna be finished! Excited and will let you know what I think once I'm done! :3 Selemat, ya!
Thank you for the support, ketsuface! ^.^ I know, the development took so much longer than I expected!😂 I can't express enough about how grateful I am to have supporters with the patience of saints--we're practically growing up together!
And have fun! I look forward to hear your thoughts later~
Hi SweetChiel! Sorry, this turned into a small essay ;w;
I've been following the development of this game for years - I've played The Winged Ones and was very excited for your next project. I was checking in on your progress, reading your notes, although I didn't even have an account so I didn't post any comments. I actually never comment on the internet, this is the first time in a loooooong time... I made an account here (and had to make paypal account too lol) only to be able to buy this and I didn't think I'll be writing anything, but after finishing my first route (and checking out a few bad ends), I just had to say this.
You worked so hard on this and went through so much in the process; you had some good days mixed with hardship (I remember specifically your posts about your job and your animals). My heart went out to you every time I read about your troubles and I was cheering you on with every new milestone. It's seriously impressive that despite everything you managed to stay motivated and see this through until the end. You worked hard for literal years and delivered us a game of such quality and length, almost on your own!! (I don't mean to dismiss the hard work of your proofreaders and helpers, they did amazing as well!) I'm in awe of your creativity and determination and from everything you wrote, you seem to be a genuinely sweet person, and I hope it doesn't sound too weird but I'm so proud of you and I'm sure many people are! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for giving us all this lovely story, I'm sure you will continue to tell us many more stories in the amazing universe you created and I'll be following your work every step of the way.
On a lighter note: for my playthrough I went for Arya first (I knew I would do it just from his design and description, can't blame a girl for having a type) and I was shocked at how long, detailed and well developed the relationship was. Although I probably shouldn't have been, I knew you were great at this from your previous game. (btw my absolute favorite there was Reksa... as I said, I have a type...) I have to praise the way you interweave the minigames and passing days with small interactions and bigger events, so that the developing friendship - and later romance - feels very natural and we can get to know every character better gradually. I just love your style!
I'm going to go start Kahlil's route next! (and probably replay The Wing Ones once I finish all the routes :D)
Hi, Kluska! Thank you so much for your support and dedication Q_Q
I feel touched to hear you make this account and even registered PayPal just to be able to play my game--I truly feel grateful and lucky to have the support of so many people through the years! Honestly, I'm more in awe that you guys are still here despite my slow progress 😭 I feel so many emotions when I finished Bermuda: nervous and scared (I'm afraid I won't be able to reach your expectations), relief (that I'm able to finish this huge project of mine), but most of all, I felt happiness like nothing before, like I've reached a milestone that I'll never forget in my lifetime.
You guys gave me a goal in life, something to live for, and I really mean it when I say I cannot express how grateful I am. Your support helped me to continue my passion, helped me mentally, economically, and to have something to look forward everyday!
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I will continue to make visual novels for as long as I can. For as long as I live if fate allows it, because I feel certain now that it's my calling... Gosh, it feels very cheesy now that I re-read my comment, but I really don't know how else to express these emotions 😂 I wish to keep dreaming like I always do as a child and to share the love/wisdom/the wonderful world in my mind to other people. Life is hard now that I'm an adult, but there are small joys to find in life and I hope you can find them and remember to smile <3
Hi, Macya90! Yes it's finally here! >///< thank you for your support and have fun~ I'll be here if you need me, I look forward to hear your thoughts later <3
YAY! Congrats, Shiawase! I'm so glad and relieved that you love the antagonist route! QuQ Like Rama's, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it does tie some loose ends. I'm also flattered that I managed to touch your feelings--it's one of the best compliments out there for writers!
I finally finished all the routes. Thank you for creating the game! 'Twas well worth the wait. ^ . ^ But I do have a question. If our MC had a mirror what would it look like?
OMG, thank you and congrats, ramenlover890! the notification feature fails me again, I just saw your comment today Q_Q I'm sorry for the late reply!
That is a good question though! In my mind, Maya's mirror will look like a small, slightly worn out, pocket mirror. You know, the ones that can be folded? Pocket mirror represents someone that cares about how they looks, you can say a little narcisstic but when it's folded, it can also be interpreted as 'guarded' or 'wary'.
My concept is; everyone's mirrors starts off as a simple mirror, but then it evolves as a person grows. There are many factors, like the environment, education, parents, etc

Will those who purchased the game on here (Itch) be given a Steam Key or would we need to repurchase the game?

The merchant is sneaky! Or it's just plain sad. Thank you very much for the answers! Will come back later when I'll finish all the routes!

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed yourself--don't hesitate to tell me if you have any critiques! I always appreciate the thought & want to improve myself to be better <3
FINALLY I BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS ON THIS OH MY GOD
Yes, it's been forever, hasn't it? X'D
Good luck & Have fun, otomegamestudio!
Just bought it, I remember playing this many years ago and thinking it was never gonna be finished! Excited and will let you know what I think once I'm done! :3 Selemat, ya!
Thank you for the support, ketsuface! ^.^ I know, the development took so much longer than I expected!😂 I can't express enough about how grateful I am to have supporters with the patience of saints--we're practically growing up together!
And have fun! I look forward to hear your thoughts later~
Hi SweetChiel! Sorry, this turned into a small essay ;w;
I've been following the development of this game for years - I've played The Winged Ones and was very excited for your next project. I was checking in on your progress, reading your notes, although I didn't even have an account so I didn't post any comments. I actually never comment on the internet, this is the first time in a loooooong time... I made an account here (and had to make paypal account too lol) only to be able to buy this and I didn't think I'll be writing anything, but after finishing my first route (and checking out a few bad ends), I just had to say this.
You worked so hard on this and went through so much in the process; you had some good days mixed with hardship (I remember specifically your posts about your job and your animals). My heart went out to you every time I read about your troubles and I was cheering you on with every new milestone. It's seriously impressive that despite everything you managed to stay motivated and see this through until the end. You worked hard for literal years and delivered us a game of such quality and length, almost on your own!! (I don't mean to dismiss the hard work of your proofreaders and helpers, they did amazing as well!) I'm in awe of your creativity and determination and from everything you wrote, you seem to be a genuinely sweet person, and I hope it doesn't sound too weird but I'm so proud of you and I'm sure many people are! Thank you so much for all your hard work and for giving us all this lovely story, I'm sure you will continue to tell us many more stories in the amazing universe you created and I'll be following your work every step of the way.
On a lighter note: for my playthrough I went for Arya first (I knew I would do it just from his design and description, can't blame a girl for having a type) and I was shocked at how long, detailed and well developed the relationship was. Although I probably shouldn't have been, I knew you were great at this from your previous game.
(btw my absolute favorite there was Reksa... as I said, I have a type...)I have to praise the way you interweave the minigames and passing days with small interactions and bigger events, so that the developing friendship - and later romance - feels very natural and we can get to know every character better gradually. I just love your style!I'm going to go start Kahlil's route next! (and probably replay The Wing Ones once I finish all the routes :D)
Hi, Kluska! Thank you so much for your support and dedication Q_Q
I feel touched to hear you make this account and even registered PayPal just to be able to play my game--I truly feel grateful and lucky to have the support of so many people through the years! Honestly, I'm more in awe that you guys are still here despite my slow progress 😭 I feel so many emotions when I finished Bermuda: nervous and scared (I'm afraid I won't be able to reach your expectations), relief (that I'm able to finish this huge project of mine), but most of all, I felt happiness like nothing before, like I've reached a milestone that I'll never forget in my lifetime.
You guys gave me a goal in life, something to live for, and I really mean it when I say I cannot express how grateful I am. Your support helped me to continue my passion, helped me mentally, economically, and to have something to look forward everyday!
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I will continue to make visual novels for as long as I can. For as long as I live if fate allows it, because I feel certain now that it's my calling... Gosh, it feels very cheesy now that I re-read my comment, but I really don't know how else to express these emotions 😂 I wish to keep dreaming like I always do as a child and to share the love/wisdom/the wonderful world in my mind to other people. Life is hard now that I'm an adult, but there are small joys to find in life and I hope you can find them and remember to smile <3
Xoxo,
SweetChiel
I want more people to know this game🙏✨
OMG, thank you for the teaser, shiawase! 😂 I'm really happy to see more and more people are playing my game <3
its finally here?! AND I JUST FOUND OUT?! OMFGL, I AM BUYING IT RIGHT NOW! I am sure it was worth the wait! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Hi, Macya90!
Yes it's finally here! >///< thank you for your support and have fun~
I'll be here if you need me, I look forward to hear your thoughts later <3
Finished the entire game!
The Antagonist's Route was a masterpiece😭
It truly was the dream of anyone who ever wanted to save an antagonist from themselves. And then the ending killed me!
I fear I have brainrot now! Now to find a way to deal with these feelings of mine now...
YAY! Congrats, Shiawase!
I'm so glad and relieved that you love the antagonist route! QuQ
Like Rama's, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it does tie some loose ends. I'm also flattered that I managed to touch your feelings--it's one of the best compliments out there for writers!
*pulls out a box of tissues for you*
I finally finished all the routes. Thank you for creating the game! 'Twas well worth the wait. ^ . ^ But I do have a question. If our MC had a mirror what would it look like?
OMG, thank you and congrats, ramenlover890!
the notification feature fails me again, I just saw your comment today Q_Q I'm sorry for the late reply!
That is a good question though! In my mind, Maya's mirror will look like a small, slightly worn out, pocket mirror. You know, the ones that can be folded? Pocket mirror represents someone that cares about how they looks, you can say a little narcisstic but when it's folded, it can also be interpreted as 'guarded' or 'wary'.
My concept is; everyone's mirrors starts off as a simple mirror, but then it evolves as a person grows. There are many factors, like the environment, education, parents, etc
I hope I answered your question ^.^)/
