The Crown of Leaves
The Crown of Leaves is a hybrid of non-kinetic visual novel and point-n-click adventure, that will tell you a story about mysticism, riddles, constellations, anthro, beasts and ghosts! Three chapters are planned for release; The first chapter has already been released – and it's here. Roui, a resilient city dandy, a half-educated jeweler and the author of scientific magic articles, dealt with a colossal failure and had to return to his homeland: Latori. Science isn't a thing here, and local shoddy mystical beliefs are really irritating and dejecting to Roui. He dreams to return to his old life… But how can it be possible if you have no money? One day, a prosperous local baron commissioned him for a bracelet, a gift for his lovely bride. Roui, in need of the extra coin, graciously accepted the order… But not long afterward he faced a new problem – the Mad Rook, a legendary and mysterious spirit, began to meddle in the lives of the locals, including Roui's. This spirit, an entity that plays tricks on mortals once a year, is possessed with strange magic and a dark sense of humor. Despite all the strangeness of the story, everyone can find something parallel to their everyday life and see themselves in one of the characters. This story will capture you and won't let you go until the very end.

Never thought, that visual novel will impress me that much.
I'm standing and applauding right now! (I'm serious).
I was heavily impressed with the story and expecially characters and their design.
A fairytale with endless spiritual vibe.
Unfortunately there is one huge drawback:
It's short. It could be cool if 2 chapters could be a bit longer.

I've really enjoyed this game and plan on going back and playing some of the alternative quests and routes. The art definitely won me over. I adore the music. One of the only games I actually played with the sound on. Also one of the rare games I just sat down and played all the way through.
I really loved the artistic choice of the slideshow/cutscenes at the end of the chapters/parts, they have a really neat artistic style to them that really excited my artsy side. Really enjoyed the small choices like that. I enjoyed the characters too. Overall very solid experience for me.
I don't think it's a game "everyone" will enjoy, but if you're a fan of vn style games and/or point and clicks it should be a good time for you! I feel like chapter two really improved upon the groundwork laid by chapter one as well.
Kudos to the team! Thanks for a delightful experience. Adored the atmosphere/vibe!

Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoyed the themes and the narrative.
The art is also great and incredibly well polished.
Definitely worth experiencing

i'm not a fan of visual novels, mostly due to the lack of gameplay and interesting things to do, but i can't deny i havent fell in love with the world that lingrimm came up with, it's just so wonderfully odd, with vodou and romani inspired elements as well as an intriguing plot. Truly can't wait for the next chapter!

AMAZING game
I guarantee you'll love everything about it
From the beautiful art style to the captivating story and soulful characters, and don't even get me started on the gorgeous soundtracks throughout the whole game
It all just flows so well together and I honestly can't think of a better story game on out there
Now this is all just my personal opinion but i recommend everyone that enjoys story games play this one, you won't regret it :3
