Mrs. Kagic Piano Mrs. Kagic, a retired music teacher, owned a beautiful piano that held a special place in her heart. She had been playing the piano since a young age, and it had witnessed her musical journey from beginner to master. The piano had become an extension of her very being.

It is easy to manipulate the types of points generated from the game by either bumping the dice with the mouse or by choosing particular dice combinations from a list of previously learned spells. you may be right, i may simply be conditioned by the measurement results and opinions of other users, i did not do a blind test and it would not be possible to do it with iem.
The piano was a cherry wood grand piano, sitting proudly in the center of Mrs. Kagic's living room. Its glossy finish reflected the warm sunlight that streamed through the large windows.
Visual novel review: Littlewitch Romanesque
Shoujo Mahou Gaku Little Witch Romanesque, was released in English by JAST USA a few months ago under the title Girlish Grimoire Littlewitch Romanesque. At the time I didn’t think it looked very interesting, but because I kept reading that people liked it I ended up picking it up.
An all-ages version will be available on steam in the near future.
Story/Setting
The story takes place in a fantasy world. Domino is an archmage living in an ancient tower, he has to teach Aria Vancliff and Kaya Xavier to be fully fledged wizards within 3 years, a task that would usually take decades. A few more women come to live in the tower to help with maintenance and teaching the girls, including a princess, a catgirl, a saint, a knight, an elf, and an angel.
Gameplay
Quests are events which help advance the story and meet the requirements for the character events as well as various endings. To start a quest Aria and Kaya must know the required spells for that particular quest. To learn spells there is a dice minigame.
Aria and Kaya throw three dice each, previously learnt spells can be triggered by dice combinations which trigger effects such as spawning extra dice and point bonuses. Points earned from this minigame are used to teach Aria and Kaya the spells required to complete quests.
It is easy to manipulate the types of points generated from the game by either bumping the dice with the mouse or by choosing particular dice combinations from a list of previously learned spells.
Artstyle/Characters
I was never a fan of the artstyle of this game, I got used to it pretty early on but I never got to the point where I could say that I liked it. The character designs weren’t that appealing either, the personalities were ok even if slightly bland at times.
Littlewitch Romanesque is pretty character focused as there isn’t really any story at all besides each characters final event. Most of the content has a slice-of-life feel, as most of the non-quest text is short exchanges between the tower inhabitants during spell-learning events and in-between each changing of the date.
Sound
Voice acting was done quite well, each of the characters I thought were well represented by their respective voice-actors and all the emotional parts were done well. Domino is voiced, which is unusual since most protagonists remain unvoiced in visual novels for various reasons.
Overall impressions
I should probably make it clear that I don’t really think much of this game, my initial impressions were pretty neutral but it kept getting more and more clear that it wasn’t really for me. This isn’t to say it’s bad, the score I gave it is much lower than the average so most people like it more than I did. If you think it would be something that might interest you, it might be worth a try.
I’ve decided to stop listing my ratings in my reviews, they don’t really mean much and I still haven’t figured out exactly how I want to score visual novels yet. (I currently have this game listed as a 4/10.) I’ve decided instead to try listing positives and negatives at the end of each review and see how that goes.
Positives:
- somewhat ok fantasy setting
- voiced protagonist
- soundtrack isn’t terrible
- a few of the characters star events are pretty good
Negatives:
- bland characters
- minigame gets incredibly annoying, especially when going through a second playthrough
- felt like a chore to finish
- sex scenes seemed unnecessary and out of place

The intricate carvings and delicate details on its surface added to its elegance, making it the focal point of the room. Mrs. Kagic's piano was not just a piece of furniture; it was a gateway to a world of emotions and expression. Over the years, the piano had accompanied her through countless melodies, each note resonating with passion and skill. It had witnessed tears shed during sad compositions and laughter inspired by joyful tunes. Playing the piano had always been a source of solace for Mrs. Kagic. Whenever she felt overwhelmed or needed to escape from the world, she would sit at the piano and let her fingers dance on the keys. The piano allowed her to express herself without uttering a single word, allowing her to communicate her deepest feelings through the beautiful language of music. The piano had also become a cherished part of Mrs. Kagic's family. Her children and grandchildren would gather around it during family gatherings, listening to her play and sing. The piano acted as a catalyst for togetherness and joy, its melodic presence bringing the family closer. As Mrs. Kagic grew older, her fingers became stiffer, and arthritis limited her ability to play the piano as she once did. Yet, she refused to let age hinder her passion. She continued to run her fingers across the keys, albeit with a different kind of grace. The piano served as a reminder of her resilience and determination to pursue her musical talents. Mrs. Kagic's piano was not only a beloved possession; it was a symbol of her life's work and a testament to her unwavering dedication to music. It stood tall, resonating with years of memories, love, and talent. The piano would forever hold a special place in Mrs. Kagic's heart, embodying the very essence of her musical journey..

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Mrs Magic Piano". The plot seemed disjointed and the characters had no depth. It felt like the movie was trying too hard to be whimsical and magical, but it fell flat. The music was also forgettable and didn't add anything to the overall experience. I would not recommend this movie to others.
2. Maria - 1 star - I really struggled to get through "Mrs Magic Piano". The story was confusing and uninteresting. The acting was subpar and I couldn't connect with any of the characters.
