Had to save this comment for after my exams so I could really dive into it, but first of all, I’m so happy you enjoyed the game! And thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful, detailed comment <33

I’ve always had a soft spot for horror romance and yandere themes, but I noticed that a lot of games in that genre mix horror with a rom-com feel (which is totally valid, just not the vibe I was going for). So, I really wanted to explore the deeper, more unsettling dynamics, like characters unintentionally hurting each other or being forced into situations where affection is twisted, uncomfortable, or even violent.

There’s something so raw and captivating about that kind of “no other way but to go along with it” vibe. I wanted to show that not everything in relationships is neat or pretty, and the messier, more complicated side of things (especially the character growth in the midst of that) is where the real depth is. I’m glad to hear that part stood out for you!

And Shyloh— oh, my sweet baby boy >~< He’s never going to be violent towards Sev, but man, he does know how to dish out a beatdown when he’s pushed to his limit. He’s definitely the “you-can’t-help-but-love-him” type of character even with all his darker tendencies.

As for the rest of the cast, hold onto your heart! It’s going to get real rough for some of them, and there are moments that may make it hard to forgive them for what they do. But I truly hope, as you continue through the game, you’ll see the deeper layers to each of them and continue to love them (in all their messed-up glory) as the story progresses.

P.S Also, if you could take a moment to rate our game, it would really help us with visibility on the itch algorithm. We’d appreciate it so much (^‿^v)
