Despite my initial doubts, he (Xael) really does care for the main character in the end, which is sweet!
Really nice visual novel, despite being very short (understandably), I enjoyed trying to figure out how to get all the endings hahah. Amazing job team!! :^]
In a lot of ways, my heart went out to Xael. He wasn't exactly a good person, but it was very obvious that he cared for Prin a lot. Whether we chose to be unkind to him, or somewhat sweet, he still seemed to love Prin regardless. It was also nice to know that he had attempted to shield Prin from his misdeeds.
I sort of want to know more about Xael (and about his time with Prin). It would be interesting to see what events led to this, as well as to see what comes after since I have to wonder if Xael will outlive even the prison that holds him. Or, if there's an actual story to Prin helping him escape!
Even if we don't get more of a story, Hollow Victory was delightful and I thoroughly enjoyed the little conversations we could have with Xael.
I enjoyed this short game, it's odd the way I sort of felt for Xael. Obviously he didn't feel bad about trying to take over the world, but weirdly I understood why he felt that way. Like, it is in his nature as a... what, a demon lord or something? It's in his nature to try to take over the world. I don't agree with him, obviously, but it is interesting to think about his perspective. It seems the only part he didn't like about his plan was losing Prin, even when you express clear distain for him, he still cares enough to warn Prin to leave town. The writing was really good, Xael felt like he was still weighing the results of his actions against what he felt was 'right' and a big part f it that was troubling him was how his actions affected Prin. I really don't know how to express what I am thinking very well, my writing and speech are sometimes stilted and difficult to follow, but I really liked this game.

Can you do a Russian translation please? I just downloaded this, but I hardly understood a word because my English skills are very poor.

I now want to know more about Xael and his misdeeds. I like how his character is written and the dynamic between him and Prin. Great work!
