A downloadable game

Alouette lived his comfy egg home, never wanting to interact with the outside world, until one day the song is stolen out of his beloved music box and he was forced from his isolated life to retrieve it. But something seems wrong with this world, and he will soon find what his place isn't what it was meant to be. He will make strange friends like the absent minded Espoir and enigmatic enemies like the reality warping ROSE WITCH.
As of now this is a (fairly long?) FREE (DIIIIRTY) DEMO, I intend to make it a commercial game when I finish it.

This game was SO inspiring! 

The maps, the character designs, the music choice... God, everything was so beautiful. The whole world building of Alouette has made me fall in love completly.

I love Espoir, Milo, Allouette and Shilo the most, they are such good characters with such different and amazing designs. I was wondering, since I've seen you have new projects if Alouette was going to continue? I would love to enjoy more Dirty Demos and a full release eventually!

The whole circus scene was so fun to experience! And the character of Perdrix made me so curious to know more about him! I can feel he has so much lore behind, since he used to have wings too!

Even if it takes a long time... I'll be waiting patiently! Thank you for offering us this amazing experience!

Thank you so much for playing! This game is incredibly important to me and I've been working on it for about 5-6 years now. I truly want to (have to) finish it because out of all the characters I've made, they are all very personal to me. 

I'm really so flattered you like the characters and style!! Like I'm really giggling so much because most people don't even know about this game! Just making it has really helped me and you'll notice that I've made my online name Espoir because of it.

Alouette will definitely continue, it's a game I HAVE to finish because I truly love all these characters (except Duck...) but I've been thinking of making some big changes that may make it easier to continue. First of all, I think I'll have to cut the Jacques sisters in the beginning. 

Perdrix, is kind of a minor character but still one I like, but sadly I'm going to cut out Jun and Jin (they get kind of annoying to write for).

THANK YOU SO MUCH again for checking this game out, it's a story I am incredibly passionate about.

it's when trying to save

Ah it looks like it's missing a character sprite but I can't tell which one it could be! And I think saving should be disabled at this point but it's been a very long time since I've updated this demo.

it's possible to play without saving? How long is the demo? can the MC die?
btw this looks so amazing!! and now i can't get this song out of my head lol

I don't THINK the MC can die just yet in this demo (I'm still trying to get the brief battle system to work). And embarrassingly I don't remember what I gave the player access to in this demo because I've changed around so much. Maybe 20 mins? I'm really amazed people are starting to find it but it's been literal years since I really focused on this game. At some point I will try to upload a better/updated version!

i look forward to this game! i loved the characters (design and personality) and the style is pretty unique.

Is it still in process? i really hope so! oh and also... wake up.... (i dont have a twitter to mention the game account lol)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for playing! I forgot I put that message in there, Alouette just needs to know someone cares sometimes. It's been about 5 years (LOL) in development but the process of making this game has helped me work through some things. I do intend to finish it but moat of my attention is on my youtube channel and PPB games. But Alouette and Milo won't be forgotten, they are very important to me. Thank you again for playing!

Well... tell Alouette I CARE! This demo left me wanting to know what you had prepared for this game. I wish I've had more of it... Above all, I'm intrigued by Milo (he's definitely my fav) and i want to know everything about his story.

I played PPB too and i liked it! I love Ashton, but Ashion captivated my heart (don't tell Ashton i said that)

Long story short, your games are awesome and I'm hoping one day I can play the finished version of this one. It looks very promising and I can't wait!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Very little by little I work on Alouette but there's a few things I want to change. Milo will be the same though, I'm so glad they are your fav character, they're also mine, and seem to have the biggest story arc (once I actually put it into the game!) Your comments and the love for Alouette I've been seeing lately has made me want to work on it more, thank you for that♥♥

Thank you so much!! I may call Ashton my son but Alouette is my baby, this game is incredibly important to me, hence I got my online name from it, and I plan on finishing it someday haha. Thank you so much for playing it!

THIS GAME..

Let me tell you, I searched so long for it. Im so so happy I found it! I could've sworn it would've been more popular, I would love to do gameplay of it sometime <3

Thank you so much, I am extremely flattered! This game is or at least WILL BE very personal for me when I finish it, but just making it has helped me through some though times. There are a lot of things I may change in it but for now it's on the back burner while I work on PPB. This game and all the characters are very dear to me and whether it becomes popular or not, I will finish it someday!

This game is super cute and fun! I look forwards to the full version!

Thank you much! This is a passion project that I've been working on for years, it's extremely important to me but needs a LOT of fixing. Thank you so much for playing it!

Hi.

Would you authorize me to translate your game into portuguese?

Thanks,

MOON-XP.

Sure, I would be honored! But it's not finished yet and alot of things are being changed while I work on it. Thank you!

I have updated yet AGAIN HAHAH! Fixed many pictures so they don't look like BUTT, added more music, wrote gooder words...etc...

For anyone whose played the first version of the demo, I've re uploaded it and made it much longer past the original end point, I'll probably regret that but oh well.
