Just finished playing this game and I enjoyed it! You can really see how Embry is really just a lost kid in this one. Also, I wouldn't be surprised to see Dr. Light fanarts doing a what's under the mask reveal.
Oh and here's the gameplay if you're interested!
I might have to check out some theories and interpretations in the comments!
are there any ways to access like- the sprites or any pictures from the game? i really like the style and it makes me super happy-- i just wanna. stare. please an thank you :3
I only just finished watching a gameplay of this game and I have to say I’m instantly hooked i’ll probably play it whenever I have a chance to because I don’t think you can play it on iPad if you can then cool, but after finishing that entire thing I really feel like getting into 3-D modeling so I can make a 3-D model of Embry and maybe even the rest of the characters if possible with a little reference there is, anyway keep doing what you’re doing if you make another one of these I’ll be happy to see it ^^
Dr. D. Light is such a cute and good character. He actually tries to help Embry and you can see how he really cares about others and tries to make Embry happy.
Even in the nightmere, when he "became" a monster, he literally says: "They might be as not as forgiving as me...", which means he probably forgave Embry for "killing" him, which makes me think that his jumpscare is just for gameplay purposes.
In the end, Dr. D. Light is a hero who really tried to help Endry, but he died while trying to do so.
But, in the end, we already know it, good guys always die.
Hiya Arcadekitten, the game is amazing!, i love the story and how the character its made, it kinda reminds me of **Kokichi ouma** and **Nagito Komaeda** mixed together, i hope this doesnt offend anybody i just think they look like them haha!, anyways, i made some fanart and i would really love to share! but i sadly cant share it here cuz the ''image is too big'', please update me if you guys have any socials so i can send it ;w;
<spoiler coming> Hello arcadekitten? i love the game!, but i wanted to ask you something but i could not find any other way to message you than this way. but is there by chance you have a full face texture of the Dr? you know the face that slowly shows it self when the mask slightly slips off? or was that the only piece of it?
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!<3 There really isn't much else to the face beyond the mask other than the rest of the smile, which is just about symmetrical. Really, the rest of the face looks just about as you'd expect it to!
Game's great and my thoughts pretty much mirrors many other people in the comment on an expansion to the story. Besides that, maybe let the player explore the blocked off areas to add more lore to the game.
I think this might have what it takes to be a great RPGMaker game.
Tremendous game !! Congratulations !! . I really liked it , especially for its simple style , but it is attractive and very well complemented with its background music .
I was satisfied with this game , and i would like to made a Fan-Art and for that i would like the consent of its creator if possible , please and thank you for this amazing game ^^
One more thing that definitely seems to be a common sentiment: It would be great to see this game expanded upon. This is definitely the kind of RPGMaker game that one could see a total reworking done to it in the future where it's heavily expanded upon and made into a true classic of the genre. All the real classics in RPGMaker Horror/Adventure games started out exactly like this: with a much shorter original/demo version that was a unique but still offputtingly familiar idea that has so much obvious things that could be done with it. OneShot, Ib, Mad Father, Witch's House, To The Moon, Omori, all had similar origins to this. I could totally see this game evolving like that too. It's definitely got the potential. :D
Sin duda es un excelente juego.... me gustaría y creo qué no solo Ami qué en un futuro "ojala cercano" sacarán una segunda parte para seguír mas con la historia... una explicación de qué le paso a los padres de Embry o también el porqué la chika llegó a tal punto de quedar en ése estado sicótico... "loca" un cordial saludo a todos los qué nos atrajo el juego, y nos creamos una cuenta pará felicitar al creador!! Esperó qué siga así.. Bien echó.
El gameplay lo vi en un video de "Cade en Youtube"
Ahora me toca jugarlo y a esperar una segunda parte... ojalá no se me haga ilusion jjjj
Ok this game is really good however I think their needs to be more to it. I would like to see a game like this have an expansion. Still keep it up as i would love to see more.
The game is very good but it is like a demo version and it would be better a version with more content and to be able to see what happened to the parents of embry and that there was in his basement to have much more information besides that I liked the story a lot I would like that the game was longer I give it a 10/10
I just finished playing the game and I absolutely adore this! The story, graphics, art style, and jump scares were right up my ally! 10/10 loved this game! I plan to make some fanart asap! :D
ok so for a start off i made an account just to say that. im estunished with how good this particular title is like i love the graphics, the story. it is so good. character apperence as well is just so adorable and i absolutley love it. and i would love even more to see the off production like for example a sequel bcs the plot is just way too well designet to end it up with one game
Like seriously spoilery also is hugely theory-work and not really based on much fact.
I feel like there's more to this than just being symbolism. Everything outside the basement seems to more or less be grounded and more real. There are actual people outside the house that Embry talks to. They are actually going places. And D. Light seems like they are a real person with genuine concern, and is not some kind of detached symbolic representation. But whenever things come to the basement, is when it seems like things get a bit more muddy. Even when we "truly" see the basement, it turns out to have been a dream. Beyond that, we never see anything. The only real thing that tells us the basement is actually real is D. Light definitely has a real reaction to it, to all the locks, to how dark it is, and acknowledging that there is indeed a basement behind that door. After that, all we know about the basement is what Embry tells us. A monster appeared. Possibly ate their parents, or something. Trying to hold it off, and feed it. They mention meat seems to be more satisfying for the monster. That's about it.
I think it's possible that Embry seeing themselves as a monster is more than just symbolic, there may actually be something more going on than that. We never even see any bodies, and whatever happened to D. Light was clearly more than just falling down some stairs. Their face becomes grossly disfigured (admittedly, we never see their face before they fall down the stairs anyway so that's a bit up in the air) and there is a big and quick blood splatter. I think this may imply that whatever Embry did, was at the bare minimum quite bloody, and I think it's possible it didn't really leave much of any traces left, or what traces were leftover were severely mangled and possibly heavily disfigured. Perhaps we don't see any bodies, because there aren't any. There wasn't much of anything left. Why would that be the case, though? Because a monster did suddenly appear. And did actually eat them. And I think it was Embry. I think something happened that caused them to "lash out" if you will.
The basement may have come to more symbolically represent what Embry thinks and feels, but it seems quite clear it was chosen as a representative location because that's where the original incident happened. I don't think their parents just fall down the stairs. They went downstairs, and then something happened. Something killed them, somehow. A monster appeared, and ate them. The monster in the basement tries to mimic their parents? Unsuccessfully. In the dream, they clearly think they are the monster. I think that is both symbolic of regret for something they did but also literal. I think D. Light's case also shines an interesting light, revealing some details of what may have also happened to Embry's parents. They don't seem sure whether or not what happened to D. Light was an accident. They don't even seem to be sure of what actually happened. The dream Embry seems adamant they "pushed them down the stairs" while Embry themselves seems adamant that they were trying to get them away from the basement. I think both things were going on, and ultimately the "push down the basement" won out.
One of the weirder key details is that Embry seems to look VERY malnourished. Their hair is possibly suppose to be blonde? But it is now white. They are very pale. If whatever is in the basement is suppose to represent some kind of mental monster that she is feeding, is she feeding it literally or metaphorically? Well, I think it still seems right to think literally here, the preparation of meals happens outside of the basement. I think they are *trying* to feed themselves, but it isn't working. It isn't satisfying and isn't the nutrition they need. Except meat. This is why the monster reacts so viscerally and seems to be trying to get out. Nothing is working, so that subconscious part of them is clawing away trying to get out and assert control by asserting survival instincts. This may even explain what happened to D. Light. They opened the door. They tried to show whatever they are burying away. And as a result, D. Light "fell down the stairs", ending up in the basement where something happened to them just like Embry's parents.
One more thing: An interesting little detail that I think helps tie this all together in a neat little bow. Embry's eye. On the title screen. Glows a bit? Just a little bit, but it clearly does. :)?
I've left out details about the dad because I'm not really sure what that is all about, but I think some other comments here and on Manly's video can kind of fill that in. The dad is posibly some kind of monster or demon himself?
Thank you for such a creative game, something about it has a nice charm to it, seriously though good job. I do feel sad for Dr D. Light, he reminds me that you can't fix every problem and sometimes it's best to just leave things alone. The basement on the other hand felt like it represented my sanity, I don't like repetitive things and something different has to come out of it eventually, otherwise you get lost and don't see the clear path of your future anymore.

Legit made an account just to say this. I really like this game, so much I made fanart lol. Anyways, I love the artwork and lore. At first, I honestly thought Embry's parents were the monsters, which would have been cool but the way the story unfolded was even better. The designs for Embry and Dr. D. Light are so cool! Anyways, hope you enjoy! Not really sure how this itch.io thing works-
Oh my stars, this is so sweet of you and this art is SPECTACULAR!! :D I'm completely blown away! Seriously, this is an incredibly nice gesture and some incredibly nice artwork! Thank you so much!! I love it! <3
DR. D. Light is a wonderful character and I’m currently working on a drawing!! I just wish there was a way to save him or poison the monster so his death could be prevented!!

would it be too boring to see someone play the game then play the game

just heard about this game from manlybadasshero I'm pretty excited about playing it myself :0
Really enjoyed playing this game, 5 out of 5 stars for sure.
The Doc character is OP. I enjoyed the concept of this game and the colorful characters. Great Work!
This was so much GOODNESS in the one game, I'm going to have to go and check out the back catalogue. I loved it, thank you so much.
I love how the dr has a quote for literally every object in the house
Oh shit, it´s a really nice one. La historia se fue desarrollando de manera interesante, poco a poco. Good job!
Hiya Arcadekitten, the game is amazing!, i love the story and how the character its made, it kinda reminds me of **Kokichi ouma** and **Nagito Komaeda** mixed together, i hope this doesnt offend anybody i just think they look like them haha!, anyways, i made some fanart and i would really love to share! but i sadly cant share it here cuz the ''image is too big'', please update me if you guys have any socials so i can send it ;w;
oh and btw the characters are mentioned are from Danganronpa incase you all might not know 😭
oh my i think it too
<spoiler coming> Hello arcadekitten? i love the game!, but i wanted to ask you something but i could not find any other way to message you than this way. but is there by chance you have a full face texture of the Dr? you know the face that slowly shows it self when the mask slightly slips off? or was that the only piece of it?
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!<3 There really isn't much else to the face beyond the mask other than the rest of the smile, which is just about symmetrical. Really, the rest of the face looks just about as you'd expect it to!

Ok this game is really good however I think their needs to be more to it. I would like to see a game like this have an expansion. Still keep it up as i would love to see more.
Very interesting storyline and gameplay. This reminds me of an old pixel art game titled, "Mad Father".
I just finished playing the game and I absolutely adore this! The story, graphics, art style, and jump scares were right up my ally! 10/10 loved this game! I plan to make some fanart asap! :D
I mean sure but why? ( not trying to sound rude but my brain has been so fucked up today and I feel like something bad is going to happen, y'feel me?)
lol yeah, the jumpscares were real good. The Embry jumpscare legit made me cuss accidentally XD
SAME LMAO
ok so for a start off i made an account just to say that. im estunished with how good this particular title is like i love the graphics, the story. it is so good. character apperence as well is just so adorable and i absolutley love it. and i would love even more to see the off production like for example a sequel bcs the plot is just way too well designet to end it up with one game

Seriously like actual spoilers ahead ok???
