This is so unique and different and awesome and omg how did you make such a good game? Rich story, good lore, difficult but solvable puzzles. you simply nailed this.
This is a seriously unique and wonderful game. It could use a little polishing, but is very impressive in it's writing, gameplay, and art. I would love to see this expanded into something bigger, to see the world fleshed out even more and for a little extra polish to really make it shine. Great work!
This game was quite interesting to play! I loved the originality of being able to move the hand icon to solve puzzles inside the creature's minds. The art style was unique and perfect for a game of this type. I was so invested I spent several hours trying to get as many dialogue options as possible and was not disappointed! A Monster's Insight is very successful at giving you seemingly infinite choices, which boil down to unique dialogue and different endings. Overall, very impressive mechanically and aesthetically.
This game is, without a doubt, one of my favorites on Itch.Io so far!
The hazy and rough but distinguishable art style, the lovecraftian-esque monsters, the gameplay with all its intricate choices and paths, etc. It's like a breath of fresh air from the standard VNs I stumble upon and it's super nice!
Pretty impressive that this was made in one month... I only wish it was a bigger game. Would have payed for a full-blown version.
Oh man, this was fun. I loved each fight - especially how the puzzles and answers change depending on which route you take. It was interesting to piece together the bits of information we're given. I actually felt more sympathetic for the interlocutors the more I talked to them.
I think Fernweh's was my favorite, although I went with the intellectual route and honestly had no idea what was happening in that conversation.
The last fight (not even gonna try to spell that name) was hilarious going for the high charm/supremacy/intellect, low reputation route. Just the two of them trying to out-smug each other. I had trouble trying to pass the stat checks though. I think it took me 5 tries before I finally found a way to win, and ended up with the Moon ending.
I have an issue with my game where the text "Helps me pick up cues and pointers during dialogue" is stuck on the game screen. I've tried reinstalling and restarting. it's just stuck there all the time except during the starting screen.
Otherwise this game is super cool! Everything is just such good quality and it's so unique and interesting. I've never really cared for philosophy and though stuff, but this game makes it entertaining.
Edit: It went away after entering the second debate thing
I love the game, the sound in this game are fantastic. BUT
SPOILERS:
In Cor muem puzzle, _ _ _ + (last answer minus last letter) + CY = necromanccy which is wrong in the game, the answer is necromancy. There's an extra C isn't there? Since "romance" minus the last letter is romanc and then + CY. I'm on default difficulty
Everything about this game scratched an itch I didn't even know I had. Just. The concepts are all amazing. The replayability value is insane and I keep wanting to go back and see what new dialogue I can unlock by shifting a stat here or choosing an option there. The use of word puzzles is also really cool as a mechanic.
I also just really love Cor Meum, what an amazing being lol. I liked how for me the game went from incredibly philosophical/psychological with Fernweh for Weird Company Orientation with Cor Meum to "who this reporter" with Deulithoteq. It was really enjoyable to stream this with my friends!
Word of advice: Don't play Fernweh's bit at night since we ended up going down an incredibly philosophical path and I had zero brain juice lmao.

Very cool monsters, and an interesting world that I would love to revisit!
Honestly one of the best free games I've ever played. I'm so sad this doesn't have a larger fanbase. I wanna geek out about this to someone so badly!
very very good, super unique gameplay i havent seen elswhere! had to dedicate a few pages of my journal to solving some stuff in here lol xxxx
Failed twice in a row and got assimilated 10/10
This game is really underrated, I had a great time, art style and world building is wonderful!
I am in love, thank you so much:)
Creepy yet interesting art style. Will there be gamepad support?
very fun! bit disappointed we couldnt use the reporter's name as a keyword, haha
got the void ending and threw my head thru the screen

The dialogue is amazing. This game freaks me out and makes me laugh at the same time.
I loved this one. I have part of the OST as one of my alarms, it's great. 10/10 would gaslight eldritch horrors again (Which I have.)
someone have the OST link?

Oh! I also have a question - in Fernweh's entry page, I have text that says "code: room". What is that for?
even using walkthrough i cant beat this dammd dewilopiteq:C
Let me preface this by saying I utterly adore this game. I was meaning to ask, are there any plans to publish the OST on Spotify? Thank you!

i don't know
This game's really great, incredibly unique and well balanced in all aspects. I'd love to see a sequel of any sorts.
Cannot put into words how much I love this game!!
