That would be cool, there are a few mysteries someone could try and solve but I hope the identity of this God guy gets revealed in the next part, I want my answers!
I was looking forward to the next update so I was excited and hyped to hear that Chapter 2 was finally upon us!! I love this story so much and I will say, this game is my favorite VN. I was here when Chapter 1 was first released and I caught myself being so fixated on this game. This VN is a great work of art!
Speechless. The writing is amazing, the plot is so interesting and always leaves me wanting for more, the music?? perfect fit for this game and sets the mood. I love and HATE Adam and Saffron both, they´re so complex, any time I thought I had them or the story figured out, I was proven wrong as the story developed.
once again, I'm currently on a hunt for a tone of new and old visual novels to play as I go through them pretty quickly. ive played about 3 different ones today and finished them all but ive had this one on my list for quite a while and I'm excited to play it :)
update: HOLLY HELL THAT WAS AMAZING! the characters, the story, the different shifting point of views, the cliff hanger, just absolutely everything about it was AMAZING. i was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering what was going to happen next. it was entertaining, it was funny in some parts, it was interesting, it was captivating, and most of all oh my god it the backgrounds, the character deigns, the art in general was Plesant to look at. this might seem like a lot, and you might be thinking I'm over hyping this game for what it's worth but for being Unknown Hermits FIRST game it was amazing. yes, some parts can be confusing and might feel unnecessary at times but honestly i think it just brings this game some charm. at first i thought it was going to be a short demo but honestly it lasted me a good hour or so. you can tell that the creator probably had a bit of fun making it and coming up with all these scenarios and that they put a lot of hard work into. 1,000/10 in my opinion. I'm so excited for the full version!
i just played through this and i loveddd it! it's hard to believe that it's a demo because of how developed the plot and characters feel. i can't wait to learn more about every character and see where everything leads. it leaves so many questions for players, and the art is also so pretty. i love how the text box is styled as well. every little detail just really makes it feel so complete !!
Okay, I'm not the kind of person to actually take the time to write long reviews because most of the visual novels I play are really good and have nothing bad to comment on or point out. But, I'm sorry, this one does. (This review is just my pure opinion, please don't go hating around on people just because you don't like their content! And please don't take this too seriously, and don't dox me, ty ty.) ALSO SPOILERS AHEAD OFC
Honestly, it's the first time playing a visual novel became tense, and I had to take multiple breaks to yell to my friends about my frustrations. So, I'm just confused, deadly confused about this game. The history itself is just a tangled mess that I can barely understand. It's like Adam wants to take revenge on the protagonist, who made him feel something new after having to kiss him just so he didn't kill them? And if you don't kiss him, you immediately die? I honestly didn't like that at all; we started badly. Then, all of the other story of the aunt and the life of the MC feels almost pointless. Why should I care about the lore of the aunt? I know it's technically important because she was connected with Adam in a way (in here I'm not too sure because I ended up skipping towards the end just to finish the demo). And also, another big complaint about the narrative choice of doing multiple POVs. Honestly, I hate that. Like, we didn't need to know exactly what Adam was doing when he was looking for us. I kinda understand it because it's a visual novel where the two main characters are away for so long; there weren't many other ways to kinda implement their different POVs, but it could have been done better. AND THE PART WHEN WE GET THE POV OF THE AUNT?? That felt deadly unnecessary, dude. Like, it could have been just an Adam POV and nothing more. I laughed my ass off in that part because dude, why?
And also, another thing I really didn't like, just small pinpoints. Why is the MC randomly a cosplayer? Why, a usually known character who is supposed to be a self-insert, randomly does cosplay, and why is that detail implemented like that? Usually, when the MC has a unique job or hobby, it's implemented in the story as something more organic that has meaning, but why like that? Just so we could have a horny scene of Adam going nuts for seeing pics of the MC? Another one! In the beginning of the game, we heard a censored version of Twitter, but later in the scene where Adam finds the social media of the MC, we don't get a social media cameo! It felt super uncomfortable and gave the vibe of lazy writing or just inconsistency. And also, when we got the dream that Adam had about the MC, and then about his mom, we didn't get a proper transition into the dream. I realized it was a dream like 5 minutes later just for how out of place it was. It felt so random. Again, this is just my personal opinion! But I can say I really liked the art, and the sprite work is really pretty! I loved the design of Adam, not his personality or way of acting but.. he is really pretty!
(Also, English is not my first or my second language, so please don't go around correcting every mistake you see, thanks!)
Hello, developer here. In all honesty, the swaps in POV were to build tension within the narrative to show Adam is closing in on the player and that was what I personally feels fitting for the storyline itself. As for the other decisions, I wont explain them away since they tread into spoiler territory. But I appreciate all reviews even if from a negative standpoint and will take this one into careful consideration going forward! 💙 I'm sorry the game was disappointing and confusing for you and I hope you find better games that you connect with in the future. I'm sorry this wasn't one of them.
DUDEEEE--Currently playing the game and holy crap I didn't expect to be on the edge of my seat. I kept dying in the beginning so I thought the game was short lol- but damn the characters just have so much lore/life to them! (especially with aunt Ruth!)
AAAAa, mi ingles no es muy bueno pero al final comprendí la trama, no tenia muchas expectativas y al final me dejo en muchísimo suspenso, en fin, i love it!
I just finished the demo and I'm DYING to see more of this in the future. I wanted to rate your game, but the rate button isn't showing for some reason.
I love everything about this demo so far, but the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because of the fact that it's still in development. When the full game is released, I'll gladly give it 5 stars!
I didn't expect much, but the plot turned out to be incredibly exciting, exceeding my expectations! I was nervous and feel worried about MC all the time. I really adore them, despite their difficult background, their resilience and bravery, refusing to succumb to fate, are truly captivating.
Since Adam has caught MC, I really want to know what happens next. Would MC become the Eve? (some part of me believe it is a love story, maybe I got Stockholm after being chased like that)But from the personality of MC, I don't think they would forgive Adam? I feel like there will be a day when their positions are reversed.(Yeah I want to see Adam can't help but admit his feelings for MC and get rejected)
And also like Saffron, though he is more psycho than Adam, just be attracted by him♥
I know from X that you are experiencing a difficult time recently; I feel sad and hope you would be fine soon.
Wow, I'm not usually into such games but this is a masterpiece! I do hope that the MC doesn't end up dying and learn more about Adam. The story is absolutely intriguing, it kept me on my toes and I love the characters dynamic. The MC is a badass :P props to the writer! I can't wait for more!!! <3
He fr did this: Opinions: The good end isn't even the good end you get killed either way <3 :) But I love it either way. I was shocked by the fact of what we work as. And quick question is this game free bc I'm as broke as the person in this game? Sorry I'm a dumb bish and didn't notice we don't die because I love menacing shit and death.
After playing this absolute masterpiece of a game, I wonder... What were Adam's intentions? Not as if before wasn't obvious, but in the beginning Adam made it clear he wanted to kill [Player]. Then, After the kiss, I'd assume he is ethier, slightly Embarrassed, Aroused or something awoke? Which was the time I began to get confused. During his successful attempt of finding [Player], he makes it seems he has some sort of interest in them... So, a few small questions; Are his intentions supposed to be revealed later on? If so, don't bother to answer the other two, but maybe I'm misunderstanding? If I am do you mind telling me? (Apologies if that sounds annoying!)
As for the game, it is so unique! I've never played a game like this! I loved the idea of the hitch-hiking killings, Every single character is so well thought out and I've come to realize a few things; In Aunt Ruth's picture, A woman to her far right has a cross around her neck on a necklace, that is Adam's mother I'd assume! I think that was an interesting detail! I wonder who the woman was in Adam's nightmare? Maybe it was his mother? I hope we find out some more lore in Chapter two!
I hope we also get to explore the entire CAKE band more! this game is so well thought out and I cannot wait for the next chapter!
You're such a amazing creator, Unknown hermit, and I hope to see more games like this! I love it so much!!!
[Please don't take this comment as anything offensive, or criticism! It's just a few questions and thing's I love about your creaton!]
the cliffhanger was great, I like Tomas :3 Adam may be a dick, but, like, he's still hot, Saffron is cool, and I will be learning all the lore about Adam, you could call me fuckin' matpat with what I'm abt to do!!

AMAZING CHAPTER! love adam 🙊me and the aunt both be struggling with same issues 😩🙏
Drooling screaming sobbing I need more of this
I loved this! Can't wait for chapter 3!
*SPOILERS FOR END OF CHAPTER 2*
God?? What do you mean God??? Is it Adam's father?? So many questions.
Like seriously I was so confused. Maybe if we get this popular enough then there will be theory videos made of it?
That would be cool, there are a few mysteries someone could try and solve but I hope the identity of this God guy gets revealed in the next part, I want my answers!
Yea, just having God on the hotline. Y'know being all... Normal around him.
It's fucking weird!
This update was really good. I can't wait to see chapter 3!
This update is so good! I missed the banter between YOU and HIM. Like hell yeah!! Put him in his place MC >:D
OH MY GOSH, IM SCREAMING OVER THE NEW UPDATE THE NEW ART AND EVERYTHING IS SO WONDERFUL!!!
He's so silly guys
love the update!!
Loved it! ^_^
Thank you for the great game <3
Had to replay the game for chapter 2 but it was so worth it !! I've never seen a game with POV changes and it's honestly so cool.
I was looking forward to the next update so I was excited and hyped to hear that Chapter 2 was finally upon us!! I love this story so much and I will say, this game is my favorite VN. I was here when Chapter 1 was first released and I caught myself being so fixated on this game. This VN is a great work of art!

8 (rotated 90°)/10.
OMG ITS HIM
I have to say it it was great!
Well, I think that POV change is okay but some of that doesn't even change like YOU -> YOU. Except for that, I enjoyed the VN.
I don't know that much about the storytelling but I think the Aunt Ruth's backstory that tied with Adam is feel like extra step.
Like, you could just make Adam's twisted obsession purely based on MC's action, but it seems like it wouldn't in a main game,
BUT! Still a great VN I played, I really loved Adam and MC. I can't wait to play the full version. Thank you for your work. :D
Amazing!!
I wish I could see more of the story but I enjoyed what I did get to play! Can't wait to see what happens next!
Não, não não não não!!!!! Eu preciso de respostas !! Pelo amor de Deus!!!!!
once again, I'm currently on a hunt for a tone of new and old visual novels to play as I go through them pretty quickly. ive played about 3 different ones today and finished them all but ive had this one on my list for quite a while and I'm excited to play it :)

am i crazy or was there a previous version of this
They made an update to it; new sprites, slight adjustment to the writing, and currently, now a chapter 2.
i just played through this and i loveddd it! it's hard to believe that it's a demo because of how developed the plot and characters feel. i can't wait to learn more about every character and see where everything leads. it leaves so many questions for players, and the art is also so pretty. i love how the text box is styled as well. every little detail just really makes it feel so complete !!

I love this game so much. Will we get a full version? I'm dying cause of the cliffhanger 😭
