thank you for the feedback!!

could you elaborate on how the story felt short? (and what moving parts?) we did want to keep this game short so i'm wondering if you meant "not enough content" short or "this felt rushed :(" short.

i also want to ask about why you think the game needs "more spice" and what you mean by spice -- do you mean like sex scenes for the sake of fanservice? generally i want to make this comment bc there are ppl who've said they wished the game had more of that, but i personally don't think a game needs to have that kind of spice to be good (though we do toe the line) and it makes me disappointed if that's what people took away from this, but i'm not sure if you meant some other kind (like the extremely toxic kind you usually see from the jam? if so yeah that is not our specialty LOL) so i want to probe your thoughts and see how we can do better while staying true to the kind of games we want to make

thank you for this detailed comment!! i'm glad you enjoyed :))

re ending 2, my take on the reason why mary becomes so "evil" is because her panic at harming hazel beforehand is similar to if a wolf harmed its prey, where she's scared that hazel would leave her but still wants her. once she becomes settled in the fact that hazel won't (can't) leave her, her true colors/wants show. she's tired from everyone leaving her and she's always always hungry, and here comes a perfect little hazel that claims she'll never leave mary

not much comment on what might've happened in ending 3 had the potion worked! but fun fact, we did consider hazel turning male and the two could live without villagers' suspicions, but that wouldn't really be yuri sooo

and yesss great catch on red riding hood & the wolf :D

i recommend playing the game again, or reading some comments below! there’s so much hidden in the writing that you probably didn’t realize upon first playthrough :) we don’t want to spell everything out as that’s not really fun, but as a hint, think about what the game revolves around (esp ending 3), and everything mary’s mentioned about her past!

if you enjoy more direct storytelling and reveals, i’d recommend you check out MIMCO here: https://cinnamew.itch.io/mimco though it’s not as polished

AWWW THANK YOU this comment means so much 🥹🙏

either way works!! we're gonna release downloadable builds with a fullscreen option soon :)

u relate to her in what way.... i'm scared........

SPOILERS

the more you play the game and reread dialogue the more you will figure out your answer to that :) + i explained potion ending in a comment below, search for one that says "I found the potion ending a bit confusing" (in short she died) + yes + mary is cursed by the potion's side effects, she doesn't need to eat normal food (what does mary do every time hazel is eating? think about why hazel is hungry in the village sequence even though she lives w mary, etc. -- there's lotsss of little things hidden in the text) and in order to maintain herself she needs to eat parts of other humans, hence the hair etc

THANK YOU!! i can explain/summarize the potion ending below

(SPOILERS)

basically it's revealed that the potion is behind mary's curse, and since you've spent the entire game making the potion hazel takes it so she can be with mary forever and so that she can understand the pain mary goes through, but it fails because messing with potions is dangerous (and also it isn't a full moon). mary is still thankful though bc this is the first time someone's stuck with her and showed her love

technically the 3d models in the secret ending were fanart!! rendered (one of the other coders) made them and we were like yo let's make a secret ending with them LOL

hahaha yeah it changes the story a bit :p

(SPOILERS)

if you pick up the flower, it'll auto give it to adrianne in return for the pies (we're prob gonna change this to a choice in the future), and then when the duke breaks into mary's house there's a sequence where he pulls out the daffodil and reveals that adrianne was the one who told him about where hazel was

but i think the reason why she was hung was probably bc she wasn't as fearmongered as the others so she seemed suspicious/targeting her would instill more fear into ppl which the duke wants

SPOILERS

did you get the daffodil & give it to adrianne?

OMG NOO :((( that's weird i think there's not really any way to fix that unless getting verifying by windows which is almost impossible for a small team like us D:

YAYYY SECRET ENDING FTW!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCHH 🥹💕 by satisfying ending i hope you meant the secret ending... LOL

YESSS unfortunately ppl seem to think one of the 3 main endings is the secret one 😭

TYSM!! and nice seeing you again! :DD

i loveu  baallisticbear703

chat is this peak

most of the art is by @pocketnii on twitter/insta/etc! they're also uploaded to the page for $2 :)

aww wtf this is so pretty... cried at work playing this oops,, pls never stop making games like these it hit me in the feels :')

also crazy jumpscare bc that's my local community college on the resume 💀

AWW thank you so much!!!

+ lots lots lots of credit to my team, this (and most of my games) are a big team effort! esp big shoutout to pocketnii :)

we have more :)))))

omg of course! after our game jam ends though, in the meantime feel free to join discord and message me there or email me!!

OH yes that's the delulu end! the other one you can get by choosing at least 2 out of 3 of "push on," "change the subject," "watch the TV show"

hmm to be fair since everything domo is saying is from mimi's thoughts i guess that's a window in? i think the point is also that mimi should present as narcissistic (but you don't realize that until later) and basically says whatever she thinks. i sometimes like wondering what a character's thinking instead of knowing it, but i also find writing internal character struggle tougher since what i write feels more cringe to me sometimes :P

and yeah, the whole story & writing (6000+ words) was done in 72 hours, mostly by nii (who did all the art except minigame stuff) and myself (who did the rest of the art + almost all the programming) so :') many places we could've refined but i think it was pretty good for the time limit. lots of kudos to you though, i tend to lose motivation for longer projects haha

in both endings she pushes domo down, the endings differ after the last minigame!

thanks!! curious what part of the dialogue you found repetitive? interestingly i've found that a lot of people didn't understand what actually happened.. hard to make sure everyone gets it without spoonfeeding :')

honestly it was just that it was never a show domo really liked but i would love to hear theories hehe

haha it's ok i also suck at scary games/things

which ending did you get/which one are you trying to get?

which one do you need help getting?

domo's already been dead for ~a week! mimi was just hallucinating her alive (tried to taxidermy her)

YES!! she stabbed domo to death, which is why the glitches show a knife and sometimes the torso, and the entire game domo is dead and stinking it up (hence the neighbors complaining) :)

#yuriontop

thank you!!

this would be amazing! unfortunately i've been super slow on setting this game up for translations T^T are you in my server?

yess we saw!! 🥰

are you in my discord? i can send them to u there

we don't since the game was made in such a short time, but we can send u the full sprite if you wanna reference it?

i reply whenever i have time!! i love reading comments :)) also i think there have been a few edits and stuff for mimco (which is also made by us), you might be able to find it on tiktok? not sure tho it was a while back, or feel free to join my discord!
