i meant to leave a comment sooo much sooner but i’ve been crazy busy lately… i played this game a little while ago while baking a cake so i think im going to forever associate it with lemon cake now lol

first of all, playing this game struck me so hard. after following you for as long as i have, i can definitely see how self-indulgent this game was and i love it so much!! it’s amazing how you're able to turn these kinds of thoughts into beautiful creations like this. im so very in love with saffie btw, i usually prefer your love interests but saffie is so so precious and feels so real in a sad way

okay next i NEED to talk about this, i fully understand the insecurity with voice acting under your own voice but i did read a bit on how you said the ai voices work and after going through it, i have to say you really would make a wonderful voice actor. from what you said about the ai keeping the tone and such of your voice, it definitely means you have the ability to voice act, because it still scares me just how amazing those voices sounded. if you didn’t have the skill and just put the ai speech over it, it wouldn’t sound nearly as amazing as it does. and your voice by itself is incredibly soothing!!! 

i honestly struggled with coming up with the right words to describe this game, but if i had to go with one, it would probably be “meaningful.” i’ve been going through an awful time this last month and playing this game was something that i don’t even know how to describe. it was just amazing honestly :( your games always are 

idk if this is a little all over the place, im really sick at the moment but hopefully this makes sense!!! you and all of your games are fantastic, you’re incredible for being able to do all of these things and i wish you all the best with everything you do, i’ll always be there to support you ^^ 

AAAAAAAA YOU UPLOADED A NEW GAME WHILE I WAS BUSY I DIDNT EVEN SEE THISSSS

as soon as i get home i need to download this oh my goodness im excited !!! i love the alliteration in the title

i fully plan on reading all your 2024 plans when it’s uploaded :D hope you’re doing well!

i've gotten through one ending so far and bothered rhime a million times and ohhh my goodness i love this game<3 i went for both fem voices this time and both voices are sooo pretty!! this unnerved me a lot and the interactive portions were honestly so cool, i made the mistake of playing simon says but it was still so interesting to go through

i also wanna take a bit to just say that the ost is AMAZING!!! i don't often really pay attention to background music in games but i really enjoyed this one. this was a great game to see released when i got home it's so good!! thank you for another beautiful creation

beautiful game as always!! so glad to see you back to making games and i hope you’re doing better, i had so much fun going through this when i finally got the notification :D

WELCOME BACK!!! i'm so happy you can use your arm again

i'll make sure to donate what i can, best of luck with the fundraiser!

ooo, ambidextrous melancholy marionette era

it really doesn't make sense, but i guess people sometimes just don't think to check the creator's profile, i've probably done that before

sighhh. i was gonna be upset at first that you ended up replying but if it's good for your arm and you did it in breaks then i won'ttt, thank you for not typing it all at once-

best wishes, i hope your arm heals as quickly as the human body will allow :D

YESSS NALA- nala deserves a girlfriend after everything she's done for hayden and arley

oh my goodness i'm so sorry about your arm :( i'd say it's good you're taking a break, but honestly that's not a very ideal situation-

i don't really just wanna mention the bad stuff so congratulations on reaching such an impressive milestone! although i really wish people would check out your other content as well,  because as much as i love the two Blythes, i definitely have my own favorites lol

p.s. don't worry about replying, just get better and don't strain yourself<3 i imagine making this post must've been difficult enough

WOOOO CASTOR :D i'm so excited for you (and Castor) and i'll definitely vote for him<333

BTW THE MUSIC IS SO COOL- i actually hadn't heard it but it's amazing

as much as i adore your games, i'd say it's good you're cutting down on the jams this year. above all, your health is important, and you wouldn't be letting anyone down by skipping a couple jams! (even if you skipped all of them, like i said, your health is more important)

as for the going strong bit, maybe you struggled a lot and needed outside help but remember, in the end you still got through it. you can't give someone else full credit for helping you, because part of that credit is yours, and i think being able to get through messy times even while needing outside help still shows you're very strong. friends can definitely help a lot, but whether or not you made it through the whole project was always your choice and yours alone, even if you needed help to see that.

honestly, my first Starset song was My Demons- i was a fairly edgy teen,,, but now i can enjoy their music and ignore what introduced me to them lol. also, Unbecoming is such a good song, and definitely the kind that could make someone emotional- you have good taste. and omg it must be awful knowing they're so close and not being able to see them, i always get so sad when singers/bands i like are nearby and i can't go :(

i will gladly accept the title of your guardian angel lol, and i'm sure i'm not alone in that. not only are you the creator of so many incredible games, but you also are such a kind person that deserves only the best. the fact that you take time to reply so thoughtfully to me and everyone else that leaves a comment shows that. i can't help but want to support you in any way i can :)

bleh, i can see why you'd end up turning down the job offer. so many companies just don't care for substance anymore and just want mindless entertainment for people with money. probably the best thing about indie developers is that there's an actual story instead of half a million paywalls that just give you a couple steamy kiss scenes, plus the bad endings are so boringgg in games like that. good on you for knowing what you could and couldn't handle, and for being able to walk away!

i will send you all the kind words i can if it can help you, but i sincerely hope that one day you won't need that. i love your work, i love bringing you a little joy with my thoughts, and i think you're one of the kindest people on the internet, but in the end i'm just a random girl that likes your games, so i hope you'll be able to give yourself the same compliments us fans give you and know you sincerely mean them.

happy late birthday Melancholy Marionette!! this project is beautiful, as are all of your works, and i'm so happy you've given us a new yandere to fall in love with
it's seriously so impressive how many jams you do in what seems (to me) to be a really short amount of time- the effort you put into these games really shows, and the fact that you make these things within a shorter time frame than so many other (not as wonderful) projects is incredible
also the fact that you scrapped the whole initial concept and still kept going strong?? you are literally my idol
andddd you like Starset and that makes me love you even more omg

i certainly hope you're still taking care of yourself, and thank you for all the excitement, the good kind of despair over bad endings, and just the general joy you've given me over all your games so far! (including this one, of course)

p.s. you're so good at writing, i never would've known you struggled if you hadn't said it here. seriously, i'm not exaggerating when i say you're my favorite game creator.

i harbor an unhealthy love for Eric Quin

in all seriousness this was well-worth the wait- i'm not the biggest fan of older men so i'm not sure what drew me to this game but they grew on me pretty heavily by the end of it

also Christy's friendship with Hanna made me actually wanna cry in Eric's route, i didn't realize how much i wanted more Christy screentime

as a closing note, i'm both proud and disappointed to share a birthday with Eric, because i love him but i shouldn't lmao please someone get him therapy- beautiful game regardless (in my defense i decided i loved him most specifically because i share a birthday with him well before i played the game) 

also- i'm actually really curious on the specifics of Eric's backstory, but maybe it's good to leave some questions unanswered in the end? ig i'm quite concerned about what his childhood must've been like,,, either way, the point is i loved this game!

i’m back again :D so happy to revisit this game! Auggie’s route was nothing short of adorable- i haven’t quite exhausted all the dialogue but i’ve gone through his route a couple times and i adore it, very sweet with the expected angst dribbled in as needed (poor Oro ;;;)

Auggie’s route really felt like the icing on the cake- he brought in tons more lore and some fluff! i’m a sucker for angst but it’s nice to have something to cool down with after the true ending,,, also, the voice acting is gorgeous! beautiful casting honestly

thank you, once again, for making this game

yessss i've been waiting for vasilis to get some love since i first saw them<3 i'm so excited for this!

trust me, it was not a disappointment. and, as much as i love seeing new titles from you, please let yourself take a break from game jams. i can’t even describe how surprised i was when you released Graveyard Shift and Dawn of the Damned at the same time, and although i loved both of those with a burning passion, i can’t imagine it’s good to force yourself to make  so many games in such quick succession while working on your other projects. October is my favorite month, too, though that’s not surprising considering my love for your games lol

i’m excited to see what you have in store for DD, and thank you for taking some time out of your day to reply<3 i know i’ve already said it, but you’re just such a kind person. i don’t wanna drag on my words of appreciation for too long but i’ll keep supporting you, whether that be through comments or leaving what little tips i can haha. (also, unrelated to this game, but i just really wanted to thank you for making Solipsism Reigns—idk why but that game specifically just. really got me through some rough times, and i’m still proud to say i’ve gotten every ending.)

anyways- i’m glad i could help in some way. please have a wonderful day, or night, and just. thank you.

i've yet to play the update but i'm definitely excited to. any news about your games always makes me happy and i'm so excited to see even just a bit more of castor/ia<3 the new personality system is definitely the most interesting to me! next time i'm free i absolutely need to go through the new bad and dead end branches, the bad endings you make are a whole league above any other game creator i know. make sure you keep taking care of yourself, your games are absolutely worth waiting for. ig i just wanna give you some words of encouragement because i love your games so much but yeah, you're both an incredible game creator and an incredible person. i hope this comment makes you at least a little happier :,)

i'm back again after two months to say this game was well-worth the wait and adorable<3
mc is such a good wing-person

it's terrible that you have to go through such hoops just to be able to make games for the profit you deserve. i'm glad you still make them, at least. your games have helped me through some hard times as an avid horror lover and a sucker for psycho characters.

you're one of my favorite creators and to read about the hardships you go through on a daily basis is just,,, awful. i wish you the best of luck. (as a side note, Cana is adorable, and all the character designs i've seen in your games are incredible)

i've been watching the devlogs very closely and i'm excited for this- i've seen a lot of otome games and all that, so a more matchmaker approach to a game is really unique to me and i love that so much
excited for another game from you!

t h i s. 
i played this a while ago and didn't really think to leave a comment or anything but this hit me in the heart- of course without any spoilers i'd just like to say i adore iris.
i wish i had the money to have given you a tip or something, but the best i could do is pay the full price :,>
all of these characters just make me feel and i am in love with the writing and general story - same as in your other games. of course this one feels much more fleshed out but all of them are still incredible!
and as a closing note, as much as i love your other games, i adore a good tragedy - so this is definitely by far my favorite. the sheer hopelessness that i myself felt in any situation that the characters didn't quite get the ending they wanted means that this was perfect.
this game was incredible, 11/10, i most certainly will play again multiple times, and thank you for creating this beauty. 

what i am is not affected by childish insults

thank you for the answer ^^

i didn't say it's hurting anyone it was just a question and you attacked me lmao
and i'm not saying anything for bandori either, i just would like to know what this had to do with the game

okay, but this doesn't explain what your first comment had to do with this game

this does not explain what that has to do with what you're commenting under
also it doesn't sound like that because it's pronounced much differently, it looks like that though 

what does this have to do with a monster girl character creator

i have incredibly mixed feelings on Osgoode
i've only seen ending eight as of now but the build-up to all the twists and turns that i have seen is done wonderfully. without saying much so i don't spoil stuff, i particularly like the way it suddenly cuts into talking about Osgoode and Camille's pasts. it can make you feel for both of them and help you understand why the both of them do what they do. all in all, this game made me feel all kinds of things and i'm glad for it.
i also really like seeing how Camille feels on things - in a way i can heavily sympathize with her on a lot of things. i was honestly prepared to hate her but she is surprisingly relatable.

this was amazing and i am more than excited to see what you come up with next.
