I suggest adding a "gay" tag to this game to make it easier to find in the future (for those who only want MxM content).
You have a picture of a screen showing the 4 stats but I couldn't find it in-game - will it be a feature in the full demo/game or is just a hidden statistic until we do a NG+?
The demo feels well paced and the story was gripping enough that it left me wanting for more. Speaking of which, despite having some beef with Belle a small part of me can't help but feel like I'm turning into exactly what I hate about her - manipulative and conniving - at least based on the choices I made and the results I got thereafter. It's... interesting and conflicting at the same time - makes me question the morality of my actions despite most of them feeling deserved. I feel like my character is growing from an ordinary guy to some sort of anti-hero, maybe even a troubled villain? Of course this is just speculation from my part but I think it's an interesting twist with plenty of potential.
Anyway, I can't wait for the full game! How much will it cost?
PS: And kudos to the artist, both Rei And Jin look amazing (and hot)! <3
Hello! Thank you for your detailed and honest feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the game and the art. Eightway did an amazing job portraying Rei and Jin!
We're also glad to see that you noticed the contrast between Belle and Rei. That was definitely one of our aims, especially since choices can influence Rei's personality to a relatively large extent even in this early version of the demo. As for whether Rei is an ordinary person, anti-hero, or troubled person--you'll just have to wait and find out!
The stats page and CG gallery will be featured in our next build, which will be coming out in the next coming months. However, the stats themselves are already active and influence branching within the current build.
In regards to the price of the full game, are still details we need to work out, but if the game were to go commercial, a rough estimation would place the full release anywhere between $5-$10 depending on the amount of content and additional features in the game.
Thank you once again for playing The Glass Coffin!
(P.S. We appreciate the suggestion! The tag has been added.)
I apologize for bothering you further but I wanted to ask - what inspired you to write the story behind The Glass Coffin?
I can't help but feel this game shares some similarities with a TV series from 2013 called "Hannibal"; Will - a gifted but troubled professor who joins forces with Hannibal, a very intelligent and charismatic psychiatrist to solve a myriad of crimes under the FBI wing. Of course there's more to them than meets the eye (a lot more...! but that would spoilers, lol) and the duo end up forming a special, dare I say, intimate-yet-subtle relationship with each other.
No worries! I'm more than happy to answer your questions. I don't know much about Hannibal, but I can see the similarities! There actually wasn't anything specific that inspired the story behind The Glass Coffin.
The plot was largely a spontaneous idea from around 2 years ago, though I think I was reading "The Shining" by Stephen King at the time. Overall, I thought it would be interesting to explore topics such as cabin fever and the human mind.
