You have some cool characters here!

I loved the story and characters of this game! My favourites are the bear brothers, all of their interactions were so funny to me!

A lot of good things going on, first of all, great story and characters, the artwork was very good and I enjoyed the different characters!

I also appreciated the little icon that shows up to let you know if something is interactable or not, I don't think I've ever seen that feature in an RPG Maker game before and it definitely improved the gameplay for me.

The only real critique I have is one relating to the second dream scenario, where everything is so bright and clear that the player character kind of blends with the sand, not to mention it burned my eyes lol I'm being real nit picky here though, because I really just wanted to continue playing to find out how everything unfolded. Really good job, I enjoyed it a lot!

Hey - this was a fun play! I think my favorite parts were with your characters. I liked the cat design, especially the close up image, but I also really liked the brother bears too! I'm not sure if you've used that character before, but I really liked their dialogue. 


When the player first opens the locked door, was there a sound effect or message I missed? I think that would be a helpful addition just to give the player more direction.

Pretty solid RPGMaker. The monster designs were my favorite part, specially the leech cats and the lamb-head girl.

One nitpick, though: the first time you meet the rabbit monster, the player is a bit too close to her, so you get a cheap death because there isn't enough time to realize she's chasing you before she touches you.

I can't believe no one showed up to centipetta's birthday...

This story is top notch. It feels very nightmarish and is a bit unforgiving with how the choices you have affect the outcome. I loved the riddles, loved the chase and I love how you merged different action elements into rpg maker!

So many details, and the last photo-real level is such a fresh take after the hand drawn stuff. The art is really good too! I really liked the demon cats!

Thank you so much!! I love them too, they are my babies (⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。)

*Fun fact, they are inspired by mogekos, although only the concept of being a kind of creature common in the world, nothing else  (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ
