I love this game so much!! but I'm so confused about how people are getting these different endings. Every time I play & make new choices, it leads me to the same ending??
I know its been awhile lol, but in case you haven't figured it out:
The first few choices before meeting Invar determines which love interest you pursue. Then, to get the good endings you have to collect all the shards via correct choices with your respective LI and also do the minigames with spotting the difference. I messed up my first run because I never noticed the pocket watch glowing, but you can actually notice it better via listening to a jingle. The jingle is easy to catch if you have played other deduction games before, or if u rerun your playthroughs and skip it will actually stop at the moments where the pocket watch glows. The bad endings I assume you get by failing both conditions. I'm not sure though as I only got 1 of the bad endings.
Also thank you to the team for producing this wonderful game. It was a sweet short visual novel. The visuals were beautiful, lines felt natural, music was lovely and voice actors portrayed their characters wonderfully. My fav LI was definitely Lonan, ahh sweets.
AHHH LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS GAME SM!!! I LOVE ALL THE ROUTES. THE GOOD AND THE BAD ONES!!!
I WISH WE HAD AN INVAR ROUTE THOOOO. HE HAD MY HEART W HOW HE JUST LONELY. POOR BABY </3

we can be silly time reapers tgether :3333333333333333
i loved the memes in the game (all hail the meme lord, kuronan) and the brief japanese really made me happy!
as expected from me, i got a bad end on first try (lonan's route) and really loved ALL of the characters, no kidding: ALL of the characters (except that rude b*tch spike). including salt (i know his name is malt) and pepper and i really liked how they didn't feel angry after seeing wren, instead felt happy. though we'll discuss about the characters later.
first the art: it was simply BEAUTIFUL. the main menu art is still engraved in my mind, like, it was soooo gorgeous and the characters also were really fine. wren is really pretty and her personality is so cool <3 i love her so much!
the bgm in the main menu is so good and suitable for this game that whenever i hear the clock's sound, it sends shivers down my spine and seeing the memento gallery after finishing all the endings made me feel really happy (except the bad end ones; they were so painful T_T) and small details such as the "exit" button written as "stop time" etc (i think there were more, but i don't remember) these details connect so well to the story that i'm pretty amazed.
THE ENDINGS ( SLIGHT SPOILERS)
i know i should have saved this topic for last but i just had a feeling that i should save the characters for last
anyways, the story was pretty good, which made the endings even better!
lonan's route was really heartwarming and i really loved his and wren's dynamic (they were so in-sync lmaoo) and obviously, the good end (though i sobbed for half an hour because of invar at the end...nevermind, in all happy ends!) the cooking scene in the memories scene made me pretty emotional. i'm saving content to write for the "characters" section so this is the end of his route.
now, galvin's route. first of all, i fell in love with him at first sight after seeing him in lonan's route (i immediately understood that he is a tsundere) and couldn't wait to play his route. again, his bad end made me pretty sad and boyy i didn't know that he didn't like gooey and sweet things (god i love sweets!!!) if i knew, i wouldn't have chosen the nutella-banana crepe T_T (i didn't know choices of what to eat affected the ending and it most fairly did) his route was HILARIOUS and his backstory of how he came to like spicy things made me wheeze. i also liked his and kana's dynamic (they're so lovable T_T) and his route's review has come to end.
it's time for the ~characters~
as i said in the start, i loved wren and i can kinda relate to her anxiety of about "what if they don't like me?" or "will they be disappointed in me?" and honestly, these thoughts of mine always flood my daily life, though i can be open on the internet (i couldn't do even that a few days ago and i had been using itch for a while, but i never once commented on VNs and had the same thoughts even though i don't know anyone T_T) but i'm kind oo confident now and can express my thoughts without any problems (only on the internet)
now, back to the topic, i loved wren and her character design! <3
lonan was sooo cute and cheerful (i like almost all of the dere types, and obviously, derederes too!) he cheered up my mood and made me feel reallyy happy (obviously his character dynamic with wren too!)
but i kind of got yandere vibes for a sec when he punched spike, though it lasted only for a moment then completely disappeared. but it would've been a huge plot twist if he was actually a yandere, but he's okay as the deredere he is! also his character design was really good and totally suited his character, especially the closed eyes and :3
now, kana! she was the only female character as much as i remember and was so easy-going! i liked the way she was always the one to suggest/lead a group hug (and GOD the chibis were cute! T_T) i also really liked her character design and also how she introduced galvin as her little brother and he got annoyed! as i mentioned before, i liked their dynamic too!
lastly, galvin! i LOVE tsunderes and couldn't get enough of him! i just bumped into him in my first try and instantly knew he was a tsundere!(he kind of reminds me of chuuya from bungou stray dogs, probable because of the way he wears his coat, height and tsundere-ness) he was also really handsome (though was a perfectionist) and made me simp on him everytime i saw him! he was the grump-short-height type and obviously, i love them!
it's the end of the review, but i wanted to ask sometheng...why are they wearing winter clothes when it's FREAKING JUNE!!???? it bothered me the whole time! (it's okay if you don't reply *can't blame you* because i know almost nobody reads my long-ass reviews :D)
the game was really good and thrilling. most recommended!
Hello, this is Pri, the writer; thank you for your sweet review!! I'm happy you liked the game so much!!
The reason why they're wearing winter/autumn clothes in June is because the story doesn't take place in USA. It's a fictional country where summertime isn't during June.
dear my past self, you had not prepared for the worst-case-scenario. thus, you have reached a bad end (you would've gotten it anyway, but it wouldn't have hurt THAT bad).
i'm really sorry (though it's not really anybody's fault).
Although it took me a few tries to get all the endings because I'd sometimes miss stuff or lag during investigation in the time pond, I feel that the game is really awesome
I do wish we could have had the invar route, otherwise I really like this game
The game kind of surprised me when I first played it cause I was like what is going on, and then I went up with the routes, and surprisingly, I got more surprised
I like the characters, the plot, the damn game, the home title art is SO good too
Also I do wish we had gotten voice acting cause It's kind of tiring voicing them all while playing the game and shitting my brains out every 5 minutes but I really like the self voicing enabling thing cause It makes me laugh and I find it appreciating and nice
I really like this game
(I wrote this review cause I was bored and it worked '-')
Hi! Now that it's been almost a year since the last update I wonder if you perhaps have a slightly better idea of when the next one would be? I usually like to play games when they're already finished, one of the reasons being my bad memory (I'd either forget a lot of important information between updates or have to replay the whole thing everytime). If you don't then that's fine too, I just wanted to ask! I'm especially curious about Invar's route as it seems to be the biggest thing that's yet to be added to the game. Or perhaps it's not going to happen after all? Thank you for your hard work! ☺️♥️
Hello! Pri the writer, here! Thank you so much for the interest in our game! ☺️
As regards Hummingbird's Crown main story in itself, the game is already finished, since this story in particular only works with Lonan and Galvin as the love interests. We did plan to add an Invar route, at some point, that would have a similar concept but deviate from what happens in the common route from this game.
At the moment, though, it's hard to say if we'll ever release Invar's route. All the members of our team are from different countries and timezones, and all of us have our day jobs as well as other things going on. Maybe one day it'll be made! But for now it's uncertain.

I started the game and it is very fun! Love it so far~
can the voice acting be disabled?

Hi! I experienced some difficulty with the game so I decided to delete it and redownload it but I can't delete it. Is there any way I can fix this?

I see! :O
Thanks for the replyyy <3333 It was my dream to get one from youu T^T (no exaggeration)
WE NEED UPDATES!!
WE. NEED. AN. INVAR. ROUTE.
EDIT: yes, i know there's going to be one.
dear my past self, you had not prepared for the worst-case-scenario. thus, you have reached a bad end (you would've gotten it anyway, but it wouldn't have hurt THAT bad).
i'm really sorry (though it's not really anybody's fault).
not me sobbing over every happy end after seeing invar's sad smile :'(
Although it took me a few tries to get all the endings because I'd sometimes miss stuff or lag during investigation in the time pond, I feel that the game is really awesome
I do wish we could have had the invar route, otherwise I really like this game

<3 Lonan
BUT WHY DID I HAVE TO GET A BAD ENDING FOR MY FIRST RUN D:
i'd happily take that Invar route. But also, he makes me mad >:(
but at the same time, the chibi hub smile makes me melt a little bit.
