gotta say i wasn't expecting the story to take such a turn from the previous demo, but after adjusting to it i did enjoy the horror side ^^ you guys are doing amazing work!

i wanted to ask if you had plans of releasing some sort of endings guide for the time being? i managed to get 2 bad endings and 10 cgs(of which 2 have 4 and 8 variants that idk how to get asjkdljlalk) but im not sure if there are more for now

i am also enjoying theorizing about the characters' roles and motives and the secrets of the painting, you guys did a good job with the current worldbuilding!! i need to get kai OUTTA there homeboy doesnt deserve this klasakjlhas shyloh too if he actually starts explaining things but we'll have to see v('-')v

this also left me wondering if in next update we will have more occasions to choose dialogue or if the conversations will be mainly guided like in the prologue(for example when sev sends shyloh away after the scuffle, i was expecting to be given the choice to stay with him or the heroes). I'm only asking out of curiosity, as the plot seems quite intricated, so it'd make sense to guide the reader a little lol

anyways thanks for such an engaging game, take care of yourselves ◝(ᵔᵕᵔ)◜

OMG SUCH A DETAILED COMMENT! I LOOOOVE IT!!!
Thanks for checking out the game blue_bean~

We were originally planning on doing the extended demo for NanoJam and the full release for OtomeJam, yet the process ended up being longer than expected. But I'm glad to see you enjoy the new version + the added assets/worldbuilding~~

For the endings, you'll only be able to unlock 2 (Sev - Bad Ending 1 & 2) for the current build. Same for the remaining CGs and variations (we have 10 CGs for the current build + 17 total variations if I'm not mistaken at the moment). The rest will be available for the full release, hence why you are not be able to unlock them. This decision goes back to how we originally planned to wrap everything up for Otome jam (so the slots were prepared) but instead of removing them for the current jam, we decided we still wanted to showcase the slots (be it the gallery, endings, triggers, etc...) as a way of letting the player know what's planned for the future!

As for the pixies, their powers, the dynamics between the heroes and the villain, what might happen in their individual routes, their motives, etc... I'm so excited to hear what theories you have in mind (but heads up, I can't spoil if they're right or wrong XD). Shyloh and Kai do get the short ends of the stick though... or perhaps they've done something to deserve it? Who knows... ^^

Regarding your comment for the choices, we actually do have plans to include more for the full release. Without going into details (and spoilers) much, the reason we had Sev follow the heroes was because we needed her to have some affection points with them for the upcoming route selection. Ergo, if we had Sev follow Shyloh, she wouldn't have been able to familiarize herself with the pixies + gain enough info as to which route she wants to pursue. Hope that cleared things up a bit, but no worries, you'll have more options for future interactions!

Let me know if any more questions pop up! Always happy to answer comments and questions from the players~
Take care of yourself as well <3

aa i see i see, good to know i won't have to scour every single combination of the choices for the cgs lol. It's nice to know what triggers the game will entail for players who need it, nice choice ^^

also yeah it makes sense to have sev familiarize with the heroes, for example were it for me i would've stayed with shyloh right away lolol but now that i've had the chance to know helios i can safely say i wanna kick him where the sun doesn't shine the first chane i get! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

which would be fitting with helios and all his sun symbolism lmao plus the HALO i just know homeboy is plotting to take sev's place and become the god of the paiting bc he's greedy asl lol

tho surprisingly the one that has me theorizing the most is actually kai! as the former leader(if i understood correctly kajskald) he might be the moon to helios' sun. His name means king in persian so he really might've been dethroned lol poor guy. With the white mourning veil he put on sev he might even be some sort of grim reaper (which may also connect to selene and hecate hhmm food for thought i suppose). Plus his centipede motif which i've seen can mean resilience but also once again connects with death?? i guess it can make sense if you look at bugs as cleaner of carcasses ¯\_(- ^ -)_/¯

ALSo shyloh's name meaning gift of god hello?? that's so cute with the game context kaskhhasdla (watch me say this and then find out he's a menace lmaoo)

anyways that's enough yapping from me, ty for explaining the cgs!!

WOWOWOWOW! THE LEVEL OF DETAIL IN THIS COMMENT, HELLO?! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE IT XD

I'm scared that if I open my mouth I'll start spoiling stuff, so I plead the fifth, but you're really on-point with the name/CG symbolism (to the point that I'm honestly shocked and amazed on how you caught them).

Our art director was also surprised on how quick you caught the references in the character designs FJGSFJSJF

But considering this lovely analysis, I have a feeling you're really going to like the symbolism and allegories we have planned for the full release. Fingers crossed, it'll be right up your alley~

As for Helios, weeeeeell, he may or may not have a twist for his route... who knows ^^

AHHHHH THAT'S ENOUGH FROM ME, MY MOUTH IS NOW ZIPPED XD

lol i really have a soft spot for games that incorporate mythology and symbolism so i enjoyed theorizing for this one too! really looking forward to the full release ✧ദ്ദി( ˶^ᗜ^˶ )
