Holy moly I can't believe you played this one x3 This was so unexpected, but it made me smile :3 Thanks so much for taking the time to type all that out! You're too kind as always x3
Yeeeah, ending 6 is probably the happiest one, depending on how close you want Saffie and Snowe to be I guess, haha.
Ending 1 isn't even technically an ending. Ending 2 is just sad x3 Ending 3 is somewhat disturbing, haha. Ending 4 is happy, but I guess bittersweet. Ending 5 is probably the most disturbing of them all, but it looks pretty xD Ending 6 is quite possibly the most innocent one. Ending 7 is what I guess I think of as the canon ending since that's the one I gave a vocal track to! Ending 8 is probably my favourite though because it seems so sweet until it's kind of not xD and it's just fun to imagine what happens after, haha.
I don't think any of the bad endings are that bad in this x3 They're just kind of tragic without anyone truly perishing! But I can say that easily cos I know everything that can happen, haha. If I were playing it, like you, I'd be extremely cautious with my choices cos I'd hate to be the cause of something awful >.<
With Snowe being a soft yandere, I guess Snowe technically always has Saffie's best interests at heart, but it comes out in different ways depending on her decisions x3 I'm glad you got that ending first though because it's at least one of the more uplifting ones!
Honestly, it means a hell of a lot that you thought I handled those topics decently because I always worry with sensitive subjects like that about accidentally hurting someone somehow :( cos I know everyone's experiences are different and very personal when it comes to mental health. The last thing I want to do is offend or upset anyone by putting my own feelings out there in bits and pieces x3 I really had to sit and think on whether it was something I should release publically at all.
I'm so glad Snowe came across that way ^-^ It might sound a bit weird, but I hoped that the game might have a sort of anti-horror feel in the sense that it seems like some super dark stuff might happen, but really, there's a big warm hug wrapped up in there x3 Especially with most of my games being horror games with yandere stuff in them. And so I wanted Snowe to be both yandere and also somewhat anti-yandere at the same time... which sounds like nonsense now that I've typed it, but I know what I mean xD I just lack the words to properly describe what I'm grasping at, haha.
I also wasn't sure whether or not to include that message because I find it difficult to know if it might come across as too much, or preachy, or anything like that >.< but at the end of the day, if it can reach even 1 person who happens to need to hear it at the time, then it's worth potentially being grilled over x3 I don't think I'm very good at consoling people because I never really know what to do when others are hurting >.< I just wish we lived in a world where no one had to hurt like that in the first place.
It makes me really happy that you think it came out high quality :3 I spent waaaaaay too long editing assets on this one, haha. I just wish I could draw T_T Still found some pesky little bugs as usual while working on the update to add Snowe's masculine voice lines >.> And I know there's a rarely occurring sneaky one still in there that I have no idea how to fix >.<"
I guess since you played the fem Snowe version that means you played the version of the game where Saffie's VA is the only proper VA x3 The rest is just me muddling along and using speech-to-speech dubbing to try and make it work as best I could at the time >.< haha. Masculine Snowe actually has a proper VA the same as Saffie, but feminine Snowe got lumped with my attempts at voice acting while hiding my actual voice.
Thank YOU for playing it and for writing such a thoughtful comment! You're an absolute legend, and once again you've brightened my day with your kind words, so thank you for that :3 Hope you're having a decent start to 2024 and that you have the most fabulous of Februarys!
