The game is peak. I love the background very much (though I'm upset I couldn't really play it normally on my old laptop, it was very glitchy. Needs a turn on/off effects toggle) (correct me if it already does, the last time I used my old laptop was in like 2023 I think and I didn't bother checking on the new one), the menu, the characters, the drawing style, EVERYTHING that's in the visual part. Dialogues and text too, for the most part. BUT. THE "DEAD END"`s are very fucking strange. Can't say stupid, Ion even know what happens in them to say that. MILD SPOILERS AHEAD: Like WDYM I stumbled on a dead end just because I refused to go to the damn aquarium or whatever (I forgot how to spell it) just because I hoped I could spend the day with you somehow?? WDYM I got the bad end because I wanted to stay at your apartment for the night?? I didn't even understand what caused it, because if for the first one I found the answer in creator's tumblr account (long ago, I actually forgot the reason already), now there's just.. I'm so confused?? Like sai, pookie, I really love your creation & stuff, even being the picky bitch I am, but what the heck. There are just.. silly. Not in a good way.

It's not strange if you think about how Ren is as a character.. it's like you're enabling his toxic behavior/obsession when you chose those "bad" decisions which leads to those dead ends.

Whateva you say, honey. I guess I'll just go spend ANOTHER 38953200 hours on dev's socials trying to understand and justify the way those bad ends happen

Please practice kindness and consideration when speaking to others online T_T You might have to spend hours trying to understand something, but I also have to spend hours of my own time explaining them in the first place.

All the Dead Ends in the game are a work in progress, and they only occur whenever I'm unable to link one day with another (hence the name "Dead End"). If you block Ren in Day 1, it wouldn’t really make much sense for the player to immediately agree and go on a date with him in Day 2. If ominous black smoke comes along and makes even Ren concerned, it wouldn't make sense for Angel to stay anywhere near it.

You can leave suggestions, constructive criticism, and ask genuine questions here (which I don't mind answering!!) but please don't be rude or sarcastic to others.

Their sarcasm doesn't affect me but I'm glad you said something about it, you're a real sweetheart/gen. I'm really looking forward to what you have planned for the game, I always look to see if any updates have been posted. It's been fun playing your game and the dead ends do make sense in my opinion. I played through multiple endings and I can't wait to see how the story progresses! <3

I'm pretty sure the dead ends are there to emphasize that this is a game. Ren breaks the fourth wall when we reach the "bad" endings by directly speaking to the player. Choices leading to a dead end shouldn't even be there and are probaly a result of Ren messing with the game's narrative. (At least that's my theory, Sai said she doesn't want to reveal much about the purpose of dead ends)

Another possible reason is simply that the game is still a WIP demo, and the route's leading to dead end's will be added in the future

from what i remember im pretty sure the reason dead ends exist are bc they werent sure how to continue writing from that point or smthn (personal noting that it hints more at the fact hes at least semi self aware as well) this is just what i remember though from a old(?) tumblr post
