I like the character models and the colors. Interesting story and concept. The music is also great at its moments. However, I was curious why in the first puzzle there was only one twinkle for one number and no twinkle for the other numbers, so I had to explore and interact with all the objects one by one. Overall good game and I'm really waiting for the full version.
Thank you so much for playing my game! I'm really happy! Thank you for the play through video as well. ♡ There was a twinkle only for one number because it would have been too tedious to interact with every single chocolate rose, whereas with the other two numbers, the display cases each have different dialogue which makes it easier and more interesting to interact with and find the numbers yourself! Thank you once again!
OMG !! this game is so cool i'm so in love with the graphics for just a demo it looks really professional i love this i cant wait for the full game to release!!!
Thank you so much for your interest! ♡ I am active on all my social media linked on the game page under 'Links', but mainly my Twitter. If you're interested in exclusive behind the scenes content then please consider checking out my Ko-Fi as well to help support/fund the game in exchange for regular updates! Thank you once again~
Hi- I'm so confused- The begin wouldn't work, neither remember or forget, am I supposed to do something other than pressing those buttons because I'm really dumb :sob:
Loved the art style, and am very interested to see how the story unfolds as you continue to work on it! Thank you so much for sharing your game demo! Looking forward to seeing the full release.
I played this for my YouTube, if anyone wants to check out the video in another tab then follow this link!
I streamed your game last night. Overall, I think the art, character design, and broad strokes of the story concept are interesting, but from a game play perspective, it's has fundamental flaws.
Before diving into any critique on the game itself, I have a critique of your store page and how it may not technically be lying, but it is very much deceitful; when stating the game has "voice acting" but the voice acting amounts to just adlib grunts and single word-samples may *technically* be voice acting, I think most expect a voiced story when you use "voice acting" as a part of your game's sales pitch. I hope you clarify this on the store page as soon as possible, and hopefully it will differ in the final release.
On to critiquing the game: The character is cute and the concept for the game is interesting. I wasn't able to make it very far into the game to provide much feedback beyond that on the story/writing. This is partially due to how I format my streams (limiting games to just 35 minutes), but also due to technical decisions within the games design that I would encourage you to avoid in future iterations. The game clearly wants to railroad the player a very specific way, and it seems there is compensatory logic developed specifically to prevent the player from engaging with the game the way they want, which not only just makes it boring to play from a game play perspective, removing any of the fun of game play surprises, but also leads to confusing design. I wasted a large amount of my 35 minutes trying to solve a puzzle that I *technically* should have solved right away, but because I interacted with the puzzle element before the game wanted me to, the puzzle piece didn't activate, making me assume it was a deadend, sending me on a wild goose chase when I had already discovered the correct path. *If you are going to build railroad logic into your game to prevent you player from playing the game the way they want,* then I highly suggest making sure that is clear in your design. A door that prevent players from interacting with puzzle pieces before the intended point in the story, or a message on a lock box that prevents the player from fiddling with it until they have found the combination will prevent players being confused and/or wasting their time. However, once again, I think railroad design is fundamentally flawed and should be avoided since this leaves little to be surprised about when it comes to the game play.

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to both play my game and write such a detailed review about it! I'm really honoured. ♡ I watched the entire segment of you playing my game and I left it with a lot of notes for improvement, so I'm really grateful!
As for the voice acting, usually, for RPG-horror games like these, the community considers 'voice acting' just the gasps and laughs, and many other games have pitched their works with that description! I think what would make it different is writing 'fully voiced dialogue', but I can still definitely see how my description might have been confusing! Therefore, I'll change it to 'voice acting sound effects'. Thank you!
As for the railroading comment, I completely agree! Thank you for pointing it out. I didn't want players to speed-run the first locked puzzle as you mentioned, since I put time and effort into it, but your unique outlook on the fact that some people might consider it fun to 'outsmart the dev' has changed my mind! I will change it in game to avoid that railroad. Thank you! I will also change the second one with the chocolates. ♡
Once again, thank you so much for playing my game and giving your feedback, and I'll do my best from now on to make it the best game possible!
Oh! Sorry about that! The inside of the game may look like that, so I think you're still on the right track. Have you tried clicking the icon that says Game.exe? That's the one to run the game! ♡ Please ignore any other confusing files. Thank you!
I can't wait for the future game! from what i have seen for now (demo spoiler alert) for me it looks like that character have DID tbh, and idk if you ever thought, but what about an easter egg when entering "laletta" on the menu? just some random thought, anyway, very nice game :)
To answer your theory... (Laletta does not have DID! But that would have been a very interesting concept!)
I might consider that easter egg, thank you! Although I have Ko-Fi membership tiers which allow members to suggest their own easter eggs with whatever they want, so I'll see if someone suggests that themselves~
made an account because i realized i didnt have one and i wanted to comment!! i really like how the games coming together so far, i love games with themes about childhood and growing up so the intro on twitter really interested me, and id say it didnt disappoint!! i wish you good luck with the full game <3
Demo seems great and I look forward to the finished product. Only criticism I feel I should mention is the slowdown when walking/running on specific surfaces seems jarring and out of place.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm really happy! I'm glad you like Laletta's name! It's actually a combination of my childhood nickname + the word Lolita because I think both sound really nice together~ ♡
I AM SO IN AWE OF HOW THE GAME IS COMING OUTTTT especially playing the game in beta????? the whole quality and aesthetic has improved SO much and i'm so happy to not only watch sweeter yesterday grow and flourish but also to be apart of this amazing game???? BLS????? LIVING THE DREAM FR!!!!!!! excited to see what's to come in the future!! :D
ive been following the development of this game for about 2 months now,, im really loving how its all coming together!! i cant wait until this becomes a classic for rpgmaker horror fans <3
Thank you so much for your continuous support! ♡ It would absolutely be amazing if it became a 'classic' LOL as those kind of games inspired me in the first place, but I can only dream! Thank you for your kind words~
