AWW, you noticed!! I would have supported you anyway, but I honestly didn’t expect the story to tackle issues that are really important to me! A wonderful surprise, I couldn't be happier (っ˶ ˘ ᵕ˘) ♡

Phew, glad to know my feedback was useful! I tend to feel like I'm pointing at imaginary issues or looking too much into things (つω⊂* )

It's nice to see you put a lot of care into your characters! I think I'm already attached to them both (ᵕ  ´ ∇  ˋ ˶)❤
AND I KNEW FATHER WAS THE FAVOURITE BAHAHA! I completely understand you, Kinder; I melted the moment I saw that smile, and the first ending I got was literally the second. It's all one could ask for (๑˃́ꇴ˂̀๑)
+ Yaaay! Awesome that Julie won't be forgotten! I'm also curious about the connection with "Mr. Bird" (๑>ᴗ<๑)

And don't fret! DIRTY JUSTICE has all the potential to blow up, it might just need advertisement outside of itch and time! I'm thinking of maybe making fanart and sharing it to gather attention --- if I get your permission of course (っ'ヮ'c)

WAAAH KINDEER CONGRATULATIONS!! THIS IS SCRUMPTIOUS!! A REAL FEAST!!! .·°՞(ᗒ□ᗕ)՞°·. ❤❤

Dirty Justice is EXACTLY the story I've been looking for (and the fact you made it is even better)!! I love this dystopian setting and the goal to avenge/revenge! I'm also happy to not have been disappointed by the psychological horror scenes (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)

The beginning of the story is nice, but the contrast from the 'philosophical questions' to a sort of flashback isn't really smooth. It's like drinking hot soup and eating cold ice cream right after. They're both delicious, it's just the immediate change in temperature that made it feel out of place.
☆ You can maybe remove the 'flashback' entirely (since it was mentionned on the way back home)
OR
☆ Start with the 'flashback' --> Julie interrupts --> and before standing up to go the the grocery store: the 'paragraph about hating the government.'

I must say that your art is so charming and all the characters are lovely (even the guard)!! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡♡
Ayala and Father are my favourites! Didn't expect him to be so buttercup (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)

Oh! Another (minor) feedback is – right after witnessing the explosion – to try avoiding the word 'body.' It was mentionned quite a few times during the lash out/cry moment, and the explosion made it feel too overused (￣▽￣||)
☆ You could simply say: "You were too exhausted to run" or "Everything aches at once"
OR
☆ Not say it at all like:"The pain drives itself deeper [...], like blades being forced into your skin over and over again."
Otherwise, you did a good job describing the pain a tertiary blast injury brings ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

I hope you add more CGs and that Julie isn't completely forgotten. It's a bit of a shame we didn't get more insight on her personality before she died and MC forgot about her.

I can't wait to know who the little panda guy is and how MC's role will play in the story! ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡
This is gonna blow up for sure! ☆(≧▽≦)☆ just like MC's house (</3)

AWW YOU'RE VERY WELCOME!!! ☆*(ʃ♡ƪ≧◡≦)☆*
MUCH, MUCH APPRECIATED; I'll remember you too, Kinder!✧⪩(ᐢᗜᐢ)⪨
Until then! (✿ ᴖ ᴈ ᴖ)♡

Aww well, that's still cool! Thank you, actually, for telling me (๑*ᗜ*)

Edit: Hehe! I wish you the best Kinder (੭˃ᴗ˂)੭✧ 
I hope you don't overwork yourself though (๑•́ ᴗ•̀)

Oooh it's such a nice game! The graphics are really nice and I like the story so far; I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks of Amane and Tsukasa from TBHK. 

For being quite short, it's great! I'll definitely stay tuned for the rest of the game. Keep it up! ❤❤ ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

YES I AM LITERALLY SO ECSTATIC OMG I CAN'T CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT RIGHT NOW I CAN'T BREATH

GOOD JOB ON RELEASING AN UPDATE! Don't you worry about the time it takes you to finish it <3
GOD BLESS!!!!!11 ❤❤❤ (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Guys, this can't just be a demo, oh my God...! I knew it, but it's TOO PEAK TO BE SO SHORT ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡

My heart has been captivated! The graphics are so beautiful that I found myself tracing/analysing every detail (DANG is Riven handsome)! I might go check out all your other works ✧(^∇^)
But I'm truly speechless at the quality of the storytelling, the music, and everything else! As soon as you input a name, you're immediately transported into this universe. No need to even use the second person to facilitate immersion in the world; hats off!! (≧∇≦)ﾉ

Hehe, I might get even more attached to it over time. Man, I'm seriously starting to wonder how did I miss ⟡THIS ⟡ all this time!...
Please, I don't care if it costs a fortune or if I have to wait until 2045 for an update, I WILL GLADLY WAIT (ANXIOUSLY)/GIVE ALL MY (IMAGINARY) MONEY! ❤❤❤

Oh my God, was seriously SO CUTE! I needed a story like this so badly and I thank God for making me discover this game (╥﹏╥)

Every few minutes, I had to take a break or I would succumb to the overwhelming sweetness and cosy atmosphere of the game >///<
First and foremost, Asher is the cutest guy ever! The messages exchanged with him are so entertaining to read, and he's just so fun to chat with! He's someone I could genuinely get along with.
This may sounds cheesy but Asher feels so pure and healing -- like the colour blue (I absolutely adore the symbolism as well).

I might play this a couple more times, hehe~ I'm gonna cherish this now <3

I so recommend this game, it's just so wholesome. From the bottom of my heart, thank you all for bringing this to life ❤❤❤

Ah I'm so happy to hear that (..◜ᴗ◝..)

But a game! with your art?! (๑•́o•̀๑)
OOOH I'LL DEFINITELY STAY TUNED! (´▽`ʃƪ)♡

Hey, I hope you're alright :(
Reposting art without consent makes me really mad, but please do continue to draw and share your drawings with those you trust ₊⟡
Take care ❤

Well, it was mostly in Italy and the custom sort of spread into France and even England. Commedia dell'arte is also called comédie italienne because it's just 'Italian comedy' and Pierrot is the French version of the name Pedrolino (though I do not think there are the same characters). 

Basically, the actors might not even be Italians (performing in France). But commedia dell'arte is Italian and spread to have a French variant.

MY PLEASURE ❤(❁´◡`❁)❤

No problem!
And don't worry; It has happened to me before. I had a glitch or just hallucinated and really thought I discovered some big secrets that no one else has before, buuut it was really all in my head ('''' •᷄ ᴗ •᷅ )

It would have been cool if it was the case huh? (─ ‿ ─)

Ooh another beautiful art! I'm surprised I actually recognised your artstyle before seeing it was you, Kinder (ᵕ˶—ᴗ—˶)
I'm SO impressed you did that with your finger ヾ⁠(˶⁠ ⁠’⁠Ｏ⁠’˶⁠ ⁠)⁠ﾉﾞ‎
You're so talented (.◜◡◝) ❤

You may have just hallucinated ^^'
Well, in a sense of mistaking for purple. Don't worry, it really is just pink. There would be no way that Ticket 'Seller' would be in possession of Jester's ticket; I mean, it could be possible but those coloured tickets belong to their respective representative.

Aww that would actually be very nice o(^▽^)o
But I am not in the best financial situation to commission right now... And even if you did out of the kindness of your heart, I feel a litle embarassed to ask you ('' •᷄ ᴗ •᷅ )
Although, I really appreciate you offering; it makes me very happy (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Hehe it's a pleasure (. ◜◡◝)

Aww I'm sure they're special! But that's totally fine, no worries! It's okay if you want to keep your account private or something like that, I understand (´｡• ◡ •｡`) ♡
I hope you continue drawing, and I can just look back on this one since I commented (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

Take care, Kinder ✧｡◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜✧*｡

OOHHH MY GOOD THIS IS SO CUTTEEE ♡ ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )‧º·˚♡ 
No but seriously- Your art has made my day. IT'S AMAZING!! PIERROT LOOKS SO PRECIOUS!! ｡ﾟ(TヮT) ♡
I love how you drew the clothes ❤❤❤ and the keychain- ( ˶°ㅁ°) AAAHHHH I NEED THIS TO BE REAL
Thanks for sharing; tell me where I can follow you (˶ˆᗜˆʃ♡ƪ)

Hey, that's cool that you're also continuing from there! Well, I don't think it would work since from what we've seen, Harlequin has never loved Columbina... But, if that were to actually be the case, the it would make some sense!!

THANK YOU<33333

Oh my God...! I feel like I just had an epiphany with your theory. I'm taking your interpretation (if you don't mind and not as my own of course) to further understand the story and its characters; it might as well be true! Allow me to share:

In the commedia dell'arte, Columbine chose Harlequin over Pierrot, but in this story, Columbina chose Pierrot. The role of Columbine is a soubrette which is not exactly what Columbina was portrayed -- more of an ingénue. I thought that Neko just decided to go on with his story and not follow exactly the stock character, but it does make sense: Colombina has chosen Harlequin in the end for she has turned to him for protection (despite rejecting him all this time). Thus, she probably didn't love Pierrot for what he is but mostly for the attention, gifts, and protection he was offering... And so it was easy for him to get replaced: all she cared about was to live, not him...

That is just insane because then it would make Pierrot's character more tragic (as it already was), defend Harlequin's actions (just a little since it explains why the rest were not so fond of her/why it was so easy for them to be okay with her death -- she was exploiting Pierrot and lead him to agony), and tell more about Columbina's true character.
Not even a monster could love Pierrot... This is of course just a theory and personal speculations. Thank you for sharing this with us @Princess Spooky Suki! KUDOS ❤

Of course of course! I'll be cooking up something in my own time ❤

You're welcome <3
Feel free to do so! I was really digging myself to see Neko's inspiration and perhaps predict the course of events thanks to how the story actually goes in the commedia dell'arte.

ME TOO! I'm really glad your started this out, btw ❤
There should be like a reddit post or a Discord server at this point

Aww it's so cute <3

Yess!! I feel like there should be a space where we can all theorise <3

OMG FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT ❤

Yes so Harlequin does not feel JEALOUS but rather ENVIOUS, please remember that since it's very easy to confuse (even for me) and that would misinterpret Harlequin's whole character🙏
If it was JEALOUSY, it will mean that Harlequin loves Colombina and hates Pierrot because of that, but it's not the case*: It's ENVY as mentionned in the story: "...Who saw the light in the lover's eyes and felt envy gnawing [at] him from within." Harlequin felt envious of Pierrot since he didn't have what Pierrot did (i.e. Colombina's love and attention). He just couldn't sit with the reality that someone was happier and better than him so he wanted to take what Pierrot had. *He didn't care about Pierrot (for killing his love) nor Colombina (for killing her), he just wanted to have what he couldn't, and that made him happy to see that Pierrot is as miserable as him now. Harlequin is a pretty complex character for being Arlecchino. I wonder why is he so envious... Like leave my baby alone😭

Oh and about why Pierrot is not allowed to speak, it's because he's Pierrot! His attire might have been modernised but his role remains unchanged. Pierrot is a mime and mimes are famously known to imitate without the use of speech. So Pierrot has to remain silent to fulfill his role; it's as simple as that! But I do wonder if perhaps there is something else below the surface on why he cannot... Or maybe we're overthinking this!

I DIDN'T SEE THE RED PANDA COMING 😭🙏❤
I love how you're going with this; it kinda makes sense! Harlequin is 100% a serpent; bro's got the tongue and most symbolisms.
But Colombina actually means 'little dove', FYI, which represents innocence, new beginnings (hum hum, sacrifice) monogamy/love (explains why she didn't want to be with Harlequin since she is already with Pierrot).

Ong bro, an ending with Pierrot is a need!! 😭🙏
But you're right; it's just that, when I think of the outcome of the story like "How could we actually make the relationship work," I kind of get lost and I fear it'll just be false hope in a way. I am very curious to see how the story will unfold, though, and hope that we will get at least a good ending <3

Oooh ok ok, I see what you mean. That's kind of the whole thing: we (MC) might be fated to die in a way since we have huge links with Colombina; "Our fate are cursed," as she says. We could die from the other members since we know too much or from Harlequin. Except, with how heartbroken Pierrot was (and obviously still is), he WON'T let that happen again, and I fear he's gonna sacrifice himself or something for us... It would just be a tragedy 😭
Imagine if Pierrot ends up killing us instead-
But if that is really the case, it would be incredibly sad and kinda weird for it to be the ending... Like how will the story progress if we don't have the MC's perspecive? And that would be such an unsatisfying (final/bad) ending.

YESSS WE CAN HUG HARLEQUIN BUT NOT KISS PIERROT AAAAAA

Make sure you take care of yourself! This game is so great, but hope you pass your finals <3

Don't worry! It's totally fine, I just digged up way too much

Well, Neko (creator) has planned to add other languages such as Spanish, Russian, etc. through volunteers, but he only speaks English and Brazilian Portuguese so I'm sure you can understand how hard it is. It'll come with time and we just have to be patient <3

AHHH I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY SO MUUUCCHH!!!! 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤

I was patiently waiting for an update, and once it came, RRRAAAAAAAA I ATE IT ALLLL. I went through like every piece of dialogue and clues I could find like Pierrot's bells and him following us when we went to the circus (hehe my baby's so cute watching us from afar during the black tent scene <3), and even how Harlequin does too!

I went CRAAZZYY with the LORE (and my passionate, precious, perfect Pierrot~), making theories like it's a full time job, and I have SO MANY questions; I KNOW Ticket Taker has something deeper bro 😭🙏 Oh- maybe I know too much...

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH NEKOOO ❤o(≧∀≦)o❤
