I need to have a very specific type of mood to get into historical drama/romance, so it took me a while to finish all the routes but I loved it! I enjoyed the MC and her dynamics with the LIs
I just finished playing all the routes and the endings!
Firstly I just want to compliment the crazy amount of polish in this gamejam entry, everything from the stunning UI to the GORGEOUS logo to the music / sound effects, down to the different colour credits slide (I didn't imagine that right?) made the experience so pleasant.
I enjoyed Noelle's differing dynamic with each love interest, but there was just something uniquely intriguing about her relationship with Everly that made me curious about their history together and what kind of shenanigans they've been up to.
Design-wise I really love Darlington's butterfly collar piece!! And the detailing on Marsden's tie with the metallic features and the boutonniere were really pretty. The CGs and the backgrounds were pretty as well.
The voice acting was perfect, it's usually such a hit or miss for me in games but man did I especially love Everly's voice, props for the direction + the VA.
- SPOILERS -
On Marsden's route, I really liked the nuance in his motives and how Noelle kind of didn't fully believe him to be selfless, I thought that added some grounded realism to that confrontation.
Overall, very enjoyable and I had a great time playing it.
Wow, everything about this game is so professional - gorgeous art especially the sprites (Lord Marsden's outfit - ooh la la), slick user interface, the background music matches the historical romance theme to perfection. Well done!

Hi Oishii and team,
Here's my speed run with my aim to nab myself one of the love interests.
I'm keen to play as many games in Otome Jam 2022 as possible.
What I liked:
* Computer graphics art - meeting the main character.
* Character design - main char as earl, countess, butler - servant yet stylish, love interest red theme - his braid, butterfly design, another (?) love interest blue theme with buttonhole.
* Background art - main char study, ballroom.
* Voice acting - butler's deep voice. I know, I know, my aim was another, but butler's voice drew me in more.
* Background music - good variety, matches historical romance to perfection.
What I would have loved to see:
* Good end computer graphic - final kiss scene with intended love interest.
SPOILER ALERT - skip comments and video if you wish to experience the game for yourself.
Here's my speed run for another love interest.
What I liked (additions to above mentioned):
* Background music - good variety, matches historical romance to perfection. Spotlight on Mark Alan Knapp Jnr. I'm told by Flor that the main menu track has cello, violin, viola and piano. The music spirits me away Bridgerton style and I can totally imagine myself in a high society ballroom, donning my gown and gloves.
* Voice acting - Props to all voice actors, including the main character. Everly's deep voice is my favourite, but that's just personal preference.
What I would have liked to see:
* Good end computer graphic - final kiss scene with Marsden. Mind you, he does come to visit my own home and bouquet of pink carnations ("I'll never forget you"), so the writing already feels complete here, story narrative wise. Graphic would be icing on the cake.

Here's a spotlight on Mark Alan Knapp Jr, music composer for Once Upon An Earl. I adore the main menu theme for this game. Now that I've discovered the "Extras" menu and "Music room" sub menu, I basically live there, ha ha.
