Oh wow thank you so much for the kind words! This was very sweet to read! <3

This was really well done, you really captured the mindset of people who rely on LLMs to “express themselves” or do their job for them, utterly devoid of the creative joy they are paradoxically seeking for with a desperate fervor.

I don’t know if the parallel was intentional but I believe in real life there have been multiple instances of “AI” that were revealed to be outsourced human labor. It feels very realistic to imagine CEOs just getting frustrated with the current limitations and deciding to just wire up human brains to keep the grift going.

The third client was so sad. Getting little glimpses into the truly dystopian world hidden in some of the dialogue choices was also very effective. The music and SFX, visual presentation and writing were all very compelling. Well done!

Oh thank you Fisher! Yeah I agree, damaged Nikko is so stunning to look at! I’m really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing! <3

YAY!! Thank you!!

Thank you!! I love their dynamic as well! <3

This was awesome!! Your descriptions throughout this story were really mesmerizing and the steamier scenes with poppy were amazing!! I did NOT see that coming in the last act, holy smokes what an amazing sequence!

I was surprised by the inclusion of Azimov’s Laws in this but after playing it makes a lot of sense. It’s so cool to not only see them as chapter headings, but they also hint at the ethical conundrum of robots and their agency in the world but ALSO puts the laws in the readers mind so you can introduce that genius loophole in such a freaking clever way. And the loophole also feels so “targeted” towards Gale from what we see in her internal thoughts, it’s soo good!

AAHH this is so lovely!!!!

This was really really cute, when Dollmaker looked into the mirror my heart broke T^T

The whole hand-crafted presentation is so charming and dripping with sincerity. Despite the small scale of the set you still managed to get a lot of creative camera angles and fun interactions with the characters, the little visual effects added on top were also great. I love Dollmaker and I would totally read that story premise mentioned at the end lol

This was awesome, the way you progressed the dialogue by looking around in the environment really evoked the real-life feeling of having such a limited view of the space sitting in the dentist chair and the “finding teeth” moments were so visceral, loved it! The girls were so cute and the world is very intriguing!

There are so many cool options and many of them feel like they can tell a story just on their own!

I loved this!! The art is so good, their expressions are so sexy and fun and there is like a frenetic energy to the panels and shots that really made it all feel so alive and exciting! The premise is so hot too, the girl bullying Doll wowowow what a fantasy! I also really like the final speech bubble falling off the page, so adorable!

Reading your thoughts in the extras was also really fun and insightful, I think you absolutely nailed your goal of having something sexy on each page too.

Selindae and Lynolell are just the cutest, the premise and worldbuilding, the writing and visual design is all awesome and the way the characters are animated was really dynamic! Playing this with my wife on a Sunday morning was really heartwarming and fun, we’re excited to see more stories with these two.

The story conflict with sinklung, Selindae’s use of fey logic and the whole final showdown with the Mist Queen were very exciting and tense and so sweet T^T

Also imo “The Red Festival” is one of the best fantasy sword names ever lol

Awesome work!!

Not even robots are safe from winter blues T^T this was very sweet and it was nice to see such a considerate perspective towards the robotic character.

Oh yes! Good squirming! The squirming means it’s working lol

This is so sweet and heartwarming!! I love your artstyle and how expressive the characters are with both their bodies and faces! Gal’s self loathing was (emotionally) relatable and the sentiments expressed are so sweet and true T^T

Also the heart button is just the cutest thing! and the robot blushies!! AHHG!!

This is so well done!! You communicate so much with so few words and the artistry of the presentation is so delightful. The “Zoom window” on the right is so nice to really get lost in the details.

Absolutely captivating. This hurt me good. I feel simultaneously pained for Polyco and attacked for anthropomorphizing her. The writing of that sequence later in the story was so beautiful… just wow. The art was also achingly adorable, the whole presentation was immaculate. This is really special, well done!!

Amazing work, absolutely horrifying I squirmed so many times while reading this, the art, writing and sound design were all really well done and evocative. The build up throughout the story was so well done too!!

Yay!! Thank you for playing!

omg thank you so much for these kind words!! You are too sweet! T^T

Thank you so much for playing! I’m happy that you felt for Nikko! T^T poor thing really needs a break lol

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad that it wasn’t too much for you! ^^

Awesome!! Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to us! ^^

Thank you so much for playing! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Absolutely incredible work, I adored the slow build up and the fun twists early on! My heart has been warmed so thoroughly from this game despite the setting being so cold and wintery T^T

Goldthread and Alfalfa are so freaking cute I just can’t with them!! The framing of the story itself was also really cool and was such a fun way to switch perspectives.

You always do such a good job with the art and character design but this cast of characters might be my favorite so far! All of their designs and expressions (and the color pallet in general) are so good!!!

The music is awesome and I absolutely feel the tension in the story so far. Poor Moggie, she’s definitely prioritizing everyone else over herself and I can relate to that so much lol. I’m excited to see what kind of “interdimensional problems” occur XD

OH thank you for your kind words and for playing!!

I love that it might inspire you to dabble in 3d too! 3d software can be a little intimidating but it’s so much fun!

Hmm, are you running it in your browser or did you try downloading it through the itch client? (this game doesn’t really have a downloadable version right now, so it might act unpredictably)

Thank you for your kind words and your feedback!!

Really neat to see all of these insights into the development! I was a big fan of the soundtrack but I never put together how the emotions and context of the story were echoed in the individual tracks, it makes me appreciate them even more.

I love seeing the development of the visuals throughout this post, and how the environment is a love letter to your home city. That authenticity really shines through.

I also think it’s really cool how the story in this game is about two people meeting and getting to know one another and that sort of mirrors you and Snek meeting and doing the same!! XD

AWESOME!! I love your choices! XD

This was a wonderful tumble. A lot said with a little, they are robots but the feelings explored in this are absolutely human. I really enjoyed the art (as always), each page was so evocative, the colors, the compositions, the effects all of it made it enjoyable to explore.

I am blown away at the creativity here, this is just dripping with style!! So cool to see a frame story and get more context for the dress up mechanics, having descriptions for the choices and even little dialogue one-shots for Ahab and Adagio is so adorable.

Also, I was so shocked to learn that this used the dollmaker template (I never would have guessed), you really made it something special and unique, so cool to see!!

Incredible!! OMG the art is so beautiful and choices are so coool!! You did such a good job on the custom color fields everything can be customized, omg it’s so cool and intuitive!! I especially love how you can copy the hex code so you can match colors very easily.

You really made the template your own, it makes me really happy T^T

I loved it!! The art is so so cute, the writing and the voice performance was awesome too! Navigating the social dynamics of being a trans teacher in this world seems truly terrifying, but your story highlights how important that sort of representation can be for students. I absolutely agree that queer educators save lives, we need more of them, not less.

This was awesome!! I love my grumpy bot so much!!

I like the historical angle a lot and the art is so beautiful!!

Had a lot of fun with this one, the art style is so good!

so cool!!

Awesome! I also sent a friend request!

I really enjoyed reading this and I learned a lot. I also liked the presentation of it all with highlights and underlines and cutout collages, it was fun to explore the pages.
