After centuries apart, Earth and Faerie have reconnected. Wicked, capricious Fanes want to unravel human civilization, and are searching for broken hearts to turn to their magical ends. They find anguish a-plenty within the walls of High Schools, targeting tumultuous teens.
Momo and her friends find themselves chosen by the Court of Blossoms, human-loving Fae, to take up the mantle of the Petal Knights, noble fighters who once stood for unity. They become transforming heroines, protecting others from the insidious schemes of the Court of Stone, while trying to keep their true identities a secret.

Hi! I will write more after I play more of it. I only finish the first boss but i really wanna play more
Is it possible to update the Credits in the page to list the specific plugins? I really like how all the mechanics work and wanna try them in my own games too. Its awesome and inspiring.
Thanks for your kind words! It's been a while since I worked on this one so it's a bit hard to remember. I definitely used Yanfly's Steal & Snatch script, but I modified it a little. Same with a couple of the other bits. If you have anything specific you want to know about let me know and I'll see if I can dig out the details.
I really like the 'chat battles', that's really unique, and I love that tea is the currency you have to spend on it ^_^. I would have liked the gossip to be tougher to make me have to go back to the faerie world and get more tea, or maybe just give less tea to start off with. I had fun with the monster battles so I wanted a reason to go do more of them. The three knights' powers were fun to use and complemented each other well, and it was always exciting to see that I had powered up enough to use a super move!
A suggestion for polish I be to use SumRndmDde's Character Creator EX, which also creates all the SV battlers for you, then use a plugin to allow SV battlers for enemies in the battle scene. That way, when you gossip with students, the person in the battle scene matches the person in the map scene.
Overall, I hope you make more chapters in the future !
Thanks so much! That's a good idea about the enemy battlers, I definitely wasn't nuts about the assets I had to use for the NPCs in gossip.
I'm not working on Episode 2 at the moment but if I start on it I'll definitely post here!
This was cute and I really like the verbage, sailor moon references, tea lol
Thanks! I'm so happy you liked it!
This is a really fun, cute game with a nice combination of fights, storytelling and humour. It's a really coherent world that it's fun to spend some time in.
