I loved this game demo soo much! I think everyone on itch played thousands of demos and a lot are rather short but this one really felt satisfying in its lenghts while making me want more! I was surprised nicely by Dean, I was expecting him to be the typical skittish character but oh do I love his sass.
I do have like two questions though, first being what's the MC's gender? I first thought they were gender neutral due to not having like pronouns option but I'm having some doubts due to like that dream lady calling them her husband or the fact that they can't have kids, which made me think that they were a man? It's mostly out of curiosity though, I don't really mind much what's the MC's gender.
Second being, are all of the characters yanderes?? Most of the time in those type of game you got one big yandere main love interest and the others who are mostly here to make the yandere jealous. But in that game it really felt like ALL of them were the main lead? Like each one with their own story which is super cool I loved that!! But that made me wonder if all of them are yanderes or only one in specific? At the time I'm writing this I had only one playthrough which was mostly fluff. I'm pretty sure i got the normal ending so it's very likely I missed out on the killing part ( Except with Connor LOL he so had it coming ) But I still wanted to know, I'm bad at making choices I'm definitely not getting those secret endings without a guide sadly..
But anyway, I really enjoyed playing your game and I'm definitely looking forward for more!! Thank you <3

Hi, thank you so much for the comment!! I'm so glad you liked it. Regarding the length... I wasn't really confident about showing so little, so I wanted more and more, and in the end, I didn't even realize the file size. Many of my friends asked me why it's 5 GB. I didn't even realize it myself, but my idea from the beginning was to grab the viewer's attention and leave them wanting more.
But honestly, I went all out. It was an all-or-nothing gamble. I was terrified that people would get bored because it was so long, BUT I HAD SO MUCH TO SAY!!
Now, to your questions,yes, MC is indeed gender-neutral. I'm still working on implementing pronouns in the game (I'm very new to this, sorry!), but for now, MC is gender-neutral. The issue with the dream maiden who calls us husbands has a revelation later on, but it doesn't affect MC's real world. The dreams (and nightmares) are actually clues to what's coming for MC.
As for Connor telling us we can't have children, I'll leave that up to the viewer. I didn't want to elaborate too much, but the idea of being sterile or male doesn't change the fact that Connor cheated on you and had a child with another woman.
Second, it's true that they all seem like protagonists because each one has their own story, BUT of course that doesn't mean they won't intertwine. All of this will depend on the decisions MC makes. Now, who will be a yandere? Again, that depends on MC's decisions. This is going to be very slow burn.
So far, Dean seems to be the one who shows that side the most, but he's in the secret ending. The others haven't yet, but that doesn't mean they won't eventually get them.
Regarding unlocking the secret endings, I left a guide, since I'm still making changes so you can save in the options.
(And mostly without realizing it, the game is quite long, again my mistake, sorry!)
Here it is.
