OK. First.

I just had to note down how amused I was by the "jack outta the box" joke LOL I legit laughed out loud. So I wanted to make sure I mentioned that 🤣

But moving on from that!! I love this little game so much! So far I've gotten two different endings—if I remember correctly they were 1b and 2a?? (don't want to actually explain the details here for spoiler reasons) But I'm going to keep also trying different options to get the others and unlock the last CGs.

First off, just the whole vibe. I love the art style and the way the backgrounds are drawn. They have a very whimsical yet subtly dark aesthetic to them that really fits the atmosphere of the game. I also love all the different character expressions and their subtle movements and especially the little uses of animation, like when the characters jump or move around (or Huxley's spring animation). It really adds a lot of energy and makes the character come to life. Also Huxley is just adorable (and I really love the art of him in the 1b ending).

I thought the choice to have them be sentient toys but you as the owner still exist and interact with them a really unique and interesting choice, and I enjoyed the different ways in which Dahlia and Huxley react to you as the owner. I really really liked Huxley in general no lie, especially his self-deprecating cynicism lmao. Both endings I got were so intense!! Now I'm left wondering if there's an ending where everything comes out at least slightly OK or if the point is that no matter what you do, horrible things will happen haha. I guess I will see as I attempt to get more endings!

Anyway, just wanted to let you know how much I'm loving this! What a creepy-cute little game!

I'm so glad you liked it! The a and b versions of the endings are only slightly different, given by the last choice. I'd like to give them their own CGs eventually to make it more worthwhile to get them both for each route but for now it's just a story ending difference heh.

And thanks!  I wanted Dahlia and Huxley to be very independent so you'd more influence the story than directly control them. I was a little unsure of making the player the owner at first since not everything they do or think is agreeable and I know sometimes people aren't a fan of playing as a character that goes against what they'd want to do themselves, so I'm pretty relieved about that haha.
