I don't think this VN should have been labeled as being simply a horror story. It's a fantasy-horror-romance with boys' love elements.

There's a lot of interesting ideas here, but the game would have benefited a lot from a proofreader, and the sprites could have been stored in such a way that they weren't cut off into ugly rectangles. Also, the "bad end"—they're all bad ends, really—felt utterly random. It didn't occur to me that it was meant to be an illusion until I actually poked into the script myself.

Still, it's a creative story. Right now I don't feel like it's accessible, but the broad strokes of what you did here are interesting!

Hello, developer here. Thank you for your feed back on this

I did not know there was a horror-Fantasy tag. honestly I was debating for a long time on what to label it as. It was between a horror and a fantasy so I stuck to horror so the bloody content would not be as much of surprise.

This is my first time developing a Visual novel before and I mostly edited it myself (poor English skills) so I'm really sorry about the sprite issue but I know better next time since I figured out what I was doing wrong.

I figured this would be a bit more more unconventional and out there, this was more written to be the equivalent to older fairy tales with only bad or sad endings

But I plan for my next project to be more simpler and improve on my technical skills. Hopefully
