hello! i literally just created an account to scream because HOLY COW aaaa this is so cool and i am hit with so many feels and feel the burning need to shower you with compliments.

i found your post on an ace subreddit advertising Our Cinderella and i am now down a rabbit hole of your content (help) alkdsjsaljkd. do i regret it? absolutely not!

first of all, AAAA. i did not expect to be bawling over a horror game but THAT SCENE IN ARC 2 where Genzou tells Iggy that he's not broken for not wanting to do certain things made me tear up sO MUCH. i'm probably overreacting but I. also. had similar fears and really needed to hear it so thank you <3

i'm not a writer so i'm not very good at complimenting writing and plot but it was very good and i was absolutely hooked to the plot all the way. and the FEELS. i waited to finish the game to date before posting so my feelings from Arc 5 are the strongest and AAA JERRY protecting iggy!! the cutscene where genzou hugs orlam and apologises and orlam trying to push him away and aaAAA. EVERYTHING. the bits of humor in it was also REALLY HECKIN GOOD and i was constantly switching between laughing, crying, and oh-noing all the way through it. i'm sorry i'm a bit of a mess at describing things alkjfslkdjaslkj but just imagine me having a giant ball of appreciation and yeeting it your way bECAUSE ITS WHAT YOU DESERVE

i love your art style!! it's so expressive!! the poses are so dynamic and they add so much to the experience! the iggy dolls' body language (and arm flailing) are hilarious and made me love them and then they got chomped and hurt my heart ;;w;; the angle choice of making scary characters tower over you and looking down on you makes them even scarier aaa. and DID I MENTION HOW GOOD THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS ARE. from the subtle changes that happen as we go through dialogue (genzou hiding his affections for iggy in arc 4, screams) to the very expressive ones (orlam's maniacal laughter to shock to breaking down at genzou's hug in arc 5!!). everything is so well done AAA grabs you and shakes you. tell me your secrets.

sorry aaaa this is not very well put together and i'm pretty sure i didn't get to articulate how amazing this game is and how much i love it as well as i could so please help me dial up whatever feelings of appreciation you feel from this post by 1000x because that's probably more accurate to how i actually feel alASLKJKLJ.

AHHHHHHHHH THIS IS SUCH A KIND AND LOVELY COMMENT, I'M WEEPING???? 😭💕

Tbh I never know quite for sure how people will react to the main game if they come in first through one of my lighter-hearted games 🤣 Since the vibes are really so different. Even if the chars and some of the general themes are similar. And the main game is just so much more intense lakdjfa SO HEARING THAT MAKES ME REALLY HAPPY??? That you were interested enough in the post about OC to check out everything else, too. Ahhhh...🥺 I am very touched...

AND I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE LIKING IT SO FAR SOB. Reading this whole thing made me feel very weepy. The Arc 2 scene you mention in particular is still one of my favs in the whole game, as well as one of the most cathartic scenes I've ever written. Sometimes I feel like this game is simultaneously a gift to myself from myself, while also being a way to make myself suffer LOL At the end of the day, though, it's been a way for me to try to make sense out of a lot of the thoughts and feelings and experiences I've had over the years re: so many different parts of myself, with ace-ness in particular being one of the foundational ones. So I'm always really glad when others can resonate with the characters or with certain scenes or see parts of themselves or their own struggles. I hope it helps others feel seen as much as it's helped me feel seen in being able to put it all out there.

Sob thank you so much for the kind words about Arc 5 so far, and also about the art! The art in particular has been one thing I was never too confident in, especially at the beginning. But I think I've also grown and improved a lot even throughout production (which I guess makes sense given I've drawn these characters probably thousands of times now...). LOL I LOVE THE IGGY DOLLS TOO THEY ARE VERY PRECIOUS TO ME. They are just so silly... I was also very saddened when so many of them ended up dying... 😭

"sorry aaaa this is not very well put together" --> WEEP NO NOT AT ALL, IT'S VERY SWEET TO ME and it really touched me reading it!! Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and thoughts. It really means so much to me hearing how much the game has meant to you and all of your reactions!! Thank you for playing and for loving the game so much!! I'm hard at work on the finale and will keep doing my best! 💕
