Wow this game was a ride and a half! I’m new to VNs and made an itch account just to comment on this! Downloaded it randomly two days ago and now I have been glued to it for hours. There’s just so much tension and the way you show the dysfunctional character dynamics is intriguing, particularly the dynamics of people who have had long-term flaws in their relationships that are driving them apart. There’s just something so visceral and unique about this VN, something about the combination of the violence/gore, but also the plain fracturing of each member of the group as they get the chance to have the wishes they wanted all along. The themes about corrupted innocence really hit hard as you get Iggy’s flashbacks along with what Wonderland transformed into. You took common motifs like the rabbits, the idea of a childhood paradise, and made them quite bizarre and eerie in a way that set the tone for the rest of the story.

Questions and Spoilers below.

I’m kind of confused though about the way this game is structured? In specific are the 4 cinematic ending sequences for Arc 4, or are there cinematic sequences at the end of each arc? I don’t really get how the Arcs work.

For an explanation - I was super invested in what was going on, but then Iggy made a wish to -disappear- after realizing what he did to his friends in the past and I got a sequence of him disappearing and a credits scene. For context, Bucks and Gidget died?? Is that the end of the game entirely? Or if I replay I can get a different ending? Do I have to choose to call somebody else in the intro? I am just reeling from that sudden ending and am curious what happened!

Also,, I would really love to know if there is a walkthrough for this VN too! I really want to see all the possibilities for scenes and endings if there are multiple, but am not sure how to get each of them.

All that aside, this is truly a wonderful and special game. Hope that things go well for the future writing of it! :)

Ahhhhhh, thank you SO much!!! I'm super jazzed that you not only decided to play the game, but then also to create an account to comment and type up your thoughts is too sweet, I can't! Thank you thank you—I'm so happy that you've enjoyed the game and chars and story so far!! 😭💕

LOL YOUR QUESTION. It sounds like you've completed Arc 1! If you watch through the credits after Arc 1 is over, a new scene will start up. It'll seem similar to a scene you've already seen, but just slightly different. And then when the scene is over, Iggy will call Genzou and after that you'll get a big ol' "Arc 2" screen and Arc 2 will officially start. I'm realizing it's perhaps not clear enough that you need to wait after the credits once Arc 1 is complete 💦 I'm going to try to think of a way to make it more clear that even though the credits appear, the game isn't over yet guhhh. I'll give this some thought and try to come up with something ldkjlajkdaf

But yes, you still have 3 more arcs to play! (one for each of the friends) and each one has its own accompanying cinematic ending sequence. Re: the choices and such—none of the choices you make affect the individual endings for each arc (each arc will always end the same way); however, they will slowly add up to influence the final ending and epilogue of Arc 5 once it's out (I'm still working on that one!). So no matter what choices you make, you're not missing anything super integral within each arc except for just some different dialogue for the most part (and game overs, but game overs don't affect gameplay at all!). My general advice when it comes to the choices is to just be relatively friendly(?) towards the char(s) you like the most and you should end up being able to get the ending for the char you like 🤭💕 (there will be a total of 5 different possible endings / epilogues at the end of Arc 5).

At any rate, I hope this explanation helps!!! Just keep watching after the credits and Arc 2 will start (and Arc 3 and Arc 4 subsequently after the credits for each previous arc, as well). But let me know if anything is still unclear or if you have any other questions!! I am happy to answer them! Thank you again so much for playing and for your lovely words!! And I hope if you continue to play the rest of the arcs, you'll enjoy them, too!! 🥰
