i just finished my first playthrough where i accidentally stumbled into the bad ending (?) and oh my god !! that was amazing!!!!!!!! the plot twists, the world building, the mystery - they're all so fantastic, especially with the gorgeous character art and brush like backgrounds, the enchanting music and sound effects, the gorgeous UI!!! i love the writing with its poetic parts that can be down right gut wrenching (ugh that bad end was perfect) to funny (SpellSwipe and Journal of a Cowardly Child got me cackling) ajsid the meta linss of Maeve's route is also so fun!! excited to play more and for the future maeve route, polyam(?) route 👀 and izar route-- joking... or am I? which devil do i have a make a deal with to make that happen eh? /joking HAHAHA

but aaaaaa unlocked the other two endings and my god!! carnelians yandere tendencies especially if you push him to the edge :O jaw dropped!! I'm wondering how the deal gets resolved on that route because wow. RIP the beloved familiar- er puppet...
and oh maeve :( the "good"(?) ending with cari is really sweet (the carnelian earrings <33 ugh i loved that reveal with Ruby and Beryl like oops... but carnelian loves when our silly ass gets scammed /lh) I'm happy they're finally on even-keel with each other but fuck the devil, man. a new lease on life at the expense of someone else... it hurts.
the writing is so damn lovely!!!!!! I found myself rereading phrases multiple times (especially the gore rip HAHA) because of how poetic and heartwrenching it was. bravo <3
