Waaaah! I love little UI ghostie!! So cute x3 It's such a nice tough! I just really love little details like that, haha. It's the first thing that made me smile when I started playing the game :3

I'm not gonna lie, I have nowhere near played all of it because I'm trying my hardest to check out at least a bit of all the jam games before the end of October while I have time. When I saw the word count I just thought, yeah, there's no way I'm gonna be able to finish that now, haha. I'm playing all the short ones in full, but with the longer ones I'm basically just stopping after whatever I get as my first ending or once I've gotten to know the characters :3 I'm really hoping I'll have time to come back and finish off stuff though!

I love the art and soundtrack so much, and my favourites so far are Nico and my ol' buddy boy in the bathtub :3

Thanks so much for enjoying our little 'mascot' ghostie! 

We appreciate you taking your valuable time to play, even if it's just a little bit of the game. We hope you enjoy talking with all of the characters and get to know them. 

Thanks again for playing, and for leaving a comment!

Freaking amazing (I see you're all men and women of culture as well) I enjoyed the heck out of it, and I don't play vns often so that says a lot, every aspect from music to sound design to the epic ass fight scene to the wonderfully crafted dialogue, it all came together to form one amazing experience that you bet I'm gonna be revisiting soon to get the other endings.
My only regret would be that I accidentally got what I assume to be the worst ending (still haven't seen the others, but sadly that'll have to wait a bit longer)
P.s: loved the voice acting in the end.

Thank you so much for playing and leaving such a lovely comment! 

The team is thrilled to hear that you enjoyed 'the heck out of' our game as well as appreciated the voice acting.

We're excited for you to play the other endings! 

This was utterly bewitching. I should have gone to bed an hour ago, but I stayed up to finish my first play-through (Jim).  There were so many charming moments and I totally didn't tear up at Jim getting to gleefully share his interests (hyperfixations?) and not feel ashamed.  (Kudos also to art, VA and music-- all around a great game) 

Thank you for this one.

Thank you so much for playing! The team definitely relates to staying up late to finish playing a game. 

We're glad you enjoyed charming Jim as well as the rest of the hard work the team put into the project! 

Thank you for taking the time to play and leave such a lovely comment.
