This was a great demo!! Tabbie definitely lives up to the title!
One question, is the game over screen also a CG? It didn't show up on the Extras, yet I'm still missing one CG.
Had an absolute blast playing the demo. So much so that I only played the Monday portion because I wanna have even more to dig into once the game's finished.
This was seriously amazing. The style is incredible, the writing is snappy as hell, the music fits so well. The entire tone of what you're doing here is PERFECT. I really can't wait to see how all this winds up.
Best of luck on the rest of development. I'll be eagerly waiting to play day one.
this was so good and funny !! i loved it so much !! the art and the voice acting and doesn't feel like i'm just reading a vn, but it's like i'm watching a show ! tabitha is such a huge brat but i kinda love her lol and all the characters are likable and fun !! my personal fav rn is eden huhu -- brilliant game!
my heart kinda skipped a beat when i saw mr. teacher turn into a monster i mean COUGH OCUGHCOUGCIGUOUGCOUGH
The UI looks amazing. The magical girl transformation left me in awe! Seeing her magical girl form made me laugh so much. The humor has been pretty great and you really nailed middle-school angst. The VA-team did a great job and really brought the characters to life!
Demo definitely left me with wanting more!
An absolute delight! I adore how incredibly expressive the characters are (both visually and in the wonderful voice acting!); the overall style is slick and polished, the music is bright and engaging, and the premise is great fun. Terrific work--I look forward to seeing more!
I'm gonna punt one of these kids into the sun and the other's going straight into orbit around Jupiter. I'm not telling which, but 13/10, looking forward to viciously mocking Kid B more. (this is a joke, this is a joke-- except that i really enjoyed this, i'm being very sincere about that)
Thank you so much! Hahaha did not expect so many ppl to fall in love with Mr.Teacher (internal team included) when I pitched his people pleasing personality!
It was so much fun to write his Halloween lesson and POV after class heheh 🤭
This game is so polished! I'm impressed you were able to put it together during the time constraints of the jam; there are so many great details in this!
The art is great, and it's so expressive! It's fun that the characters have so many poses (especially Tabbie); it makes the story feel more dynamic and lively. It also gives it this more cartoony vibe, which I feel was maybe the intention? It's less static than a lot of VNs; even some commercial ones.
The music is really fun and fitting (the main menu song is especially catchy), and the SFX when you hover over the buttons in the menus is really satisfying lol (I might have spent a while just hovering over the buttons just for those nice sounds lmao)
Ah, I really liked the custom cursor and the sparkly trails that come from it in the main menu too, it's a fun effect. I kind of wish the effect had been extended into the main game too, since it's very ~satisfying~ to watch the sparklies, but I understand why you didn't (it would probably get in the way lol)
And the VA is really good too! Everybody sounds so enthusiastic! It sounds like everybody was having a good time!
The story itself seems interesting enough. I wonder if there's some CCS influence with the pixie designs? I found Tabbie to be a bit of a grating character tbh (her design is cute, but her personality... absolutely isn't haha), but I suppose she's fairly realistic for an obnoxious middle schooler. My favourite character is probably Calem; his more measured way of speaking + all his fancy long words got the most laughs out of me (especially Tabbie's dry 'can you please use words with less than three syllables' lol).
You all did a great job...
Oh, and this should go without saying, but the Itchio page looks gorgeous too!!!
It was definitely not easy in the slightest. Our team had 21 people on board, including our 9 voice actors, and all of them are incredibly talented folx. We really rallied to help each other, supported each other with memes to fuel our sanity, and we held to a tight production schedule to finish with enough time to allow several days for just polishing. It was a lot, very quickly, but we managed it somehow! lol! - So glad you enjoyed the game!
This game is so fucking good!!! I love the music, I love the artstyle, I love the character designs, I love the voice acting, I especially love the writing, it's all so amazing!!! Everyone at Team Pastel Knight, keep up the good work!!!
This game is amazing. It has watered my crops and saved my children. I plan to sell my mortal soul to the developers soon so that they may prosper on this earth. Also Eden is nice I like him a lot. You should give him a weapon.
holy moly mc'dudes. actually the greatest thing ever like genuienely. thats not even how u write that word but i dont care u know what i mean. wowza yowza is this amazing
Just finished the demo, and it's awesome! I love the art style, the CG backgrounds, and the voice acting! It's one, neat, Halloween-themed game! Can't wait for what will come of all of this in the future! Keep up the great work!
(Copied from my Spooktober rating page review to help this game within itch.io's algorithm!)
I enjoyed This Magical Girl is a B*tch!
The moment-to-moment dialogue made me smile. Tabitha's a hilariously nasty and angst-ridden little 8th grader, and seeing her be a horrible goblin to everyone was entertaining. I like the rest of the cast too: they all play off of Tabitha really well.
The character designs are great too: they're incredibly expressive. I especially love the Pixies: their giant jester hats are adorable. Am I wrong in saying that they remind me a bit of the Clow Cards from Cardcaptor Sakura?
The voice-acting is excellent as well. Adding all of those lines in such a short period of time couldn't have been easy, but you did it - and the quality and care you put into it shows. Kudos to that.
If I have any major critique: it's that the story ends rather abruptly. I'd love to see more from Tabitha and the world she lives in, but I'll have to settle for a nice cliffhanger for now. ;w;
Thank you for bringing this into the world! I'm excited to see what you all make next.
Let me tell you...adding in those voice actor lines, editing them, re-editing them, fixing the text and dialogue boxes, and then cutting, editing and merging the VO files -again- (I think we did it about 145.75 billion times lol) was definitely no small feat! But the voice acting crew we had for this game honestly blew my mind, and our team was absolutely committed to making sure we got it right! A ton of work, but it was soooo worth it!
I FINALLY played this game and let me say, I love it soooooo much!! The story is very immersive and all the elements brings the whole thing together perfectly, making it beautifully enjoyable! The writing is so unique and I did not expect a lot of things that happened, which is good because I love visual novels that have you surprised with the unexpected!!
I want to note that what drawn me to play this was the about above (knowing tabbie's personality, the handwritten touch really brought out the one thing that is seen in-game!) All the characters are likeable and THE VOICE ACTORS?? They did such a great job like wow?? The voice acting made it feel like I was really watching a cartoon/anime and being able to read the narration kept it fun and innovative, still being able to be apart of the storyline!
I did make the video (i was so nervous- i don't know why haha) and I am so appreciative that I was able to because there was so much I could relate to in this game, such as the teacher himself (pretty sure we all had one a Mr. Teacher ) and even how it reminded me of a few animes I watched in the past! Really great job and *mwah* chef's kiss! I'll continue to support this and any other games you make, especially since they are so creatively made!!!
I've been waiting for this ever since I heard about it! And, it certainly doesn't missed! I love all the characters and this world y'all build! It's all absolutely so GOOD! I need the full game, I can't wait!!!
Me too! I like how groovy Mr. Teacher’s track is too and Strength’s intro!! As for story, you’re in for some surprises! (A surprise to me too haha we will see what will unfold hehe)
The VAs were absolutely wonderful to work with so I'm glad you enjoyed their performance!! Also yes, we have some amazing artists! They worked nonstop to bring everything to life and I'm thrilled to hear it paid off :DDD
Amazed by the awesome VO directing and talent on the team! The amount of detail put in the scene programming action by Rae and DKG + the fact Belle made 178 sprites is hella inspiring!
I’m so grateful to be brough on to the team, these characters were so much fun to write! Shannon did awesome with the villainous monologues and character intros and Rae with the WAND WHACKING and flashbacks! I loved writing Tabbie and Eden’s classroom banter too and Mr. Teacher’s personality XD!

This magical girl has amazing character design.

There's a reason why Mister Teacher is listed in our content warnings. 😆

I'm glad you're enjoying it :D The OST is currently still pending, but you can presave it so you don't miss the release. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/janhehr/this-magical-girl-is-a-bitch-vol-1-ori...
