Hey hey! Aww, that's awesome :D I'm so glad you ended up liking this one too! Thanks for playing through it and taking the time to let me know your thoughts on this one. I really poured everything I had into it this past month or so trying to get it all finished in time for the end of the jam, haha. It was certainly pretty exhausting with all the super late nights, but I had heaps of fun working on it + it was my first jam where I got to team up with artists :3

I mean, I can't take 100% credit for the general story idea because, as I mentioned, it is based on an Inside No.9 episode script. It's one of my favourite episodes, and I was so worried that I would wind up ruining the story that inspired me by creating my own version when I've changed so many things here and there + added stuff to it >.< So I'm happy to hear that I didn't. The script that inspired me is brilliant as it is, but it's certainly not even remotely otome, haha.

I had a lot of fun rewriting stuff from Doyle's point of view, haha. That's something I've not really done much of before and wanted to experiment with :3 I was a little concerned players might find it dull to go through the story again, even if it is from another character's viewpoint. I really wanted to have a new game+ type thing though where the endings could be expanded upon, and that was the only way I could think of doing it that would work within the jam timeframe.

That's incredibly interesting that you wound up preferring Doyle! I honestly imagined that most people would kinda hate him x3 In fact, I was afraid that with it being an otome game, people may dislike him so much that they wouldn't want to pursue a romance with him, haha. He sure does have a lot of flaws, but I tried not to make him a complete monster :3

I'm really glad that you were able to understand Doyle's motives. That's something that always worries me in the back of my mind when I'm writing yandere-esque characters because I don't want them to be monsters >.< I like there to be some sort of justification for their behaviour, and the opportunity to potentially redeem themselves, haha.

Yeah, it's kind of a shame for Leah really that both relationships are toxic for her >.< But yeah, dysfunctional relationships in fiction are fun, haha. As you no doubt already know, I have a gigantic soft spot for characters who are a little messed up x3

I'm just about to post up a walkthrough, so if you happen to end up requiring help to get all of the endings, that should cover everything :3

Thank you again for your kind words and your time :D Much appreciated ^-^
