They're first cousins, their fathers are brothers.

A bit late haha but thank you very much!!!

i love her too <3

Ah thank you so much! That's very kind of you!
It's been a while since I wrote Rituals, but I remember putting more focus on the descriptive passages (mostly all of the dust in Mrs Leigh's old home) than I did the developing relationship between the two leads. This story was more a vehicle for me to write lovingly about decay, but I'm glad you still enjoyed the relationship presented here!
I really like the OST of this VN in particular too, I had a very particular sound I wanted and I think the composer nailed it. It's really pretty!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yes I write BL VNs too haha
I write a lot of different things, it's fun! 🙏

The UI for this is so good, it's incredibly polished! You did an amazing job putting this all together so quickly! Love the song that plays too, and the voice acting is very good and high quality!

As for the actual story, well... It's pretty depressing haha, I feel for you Felix ;-;

There are still plenty of keys remaining for the game, so it might be a problem with Itch.io.
You can either contact Itch about it, or you can email me at ebihimes@gmail.com with a screenshot of your receipt from Itch and I'll send you a key over.

This is an old, free VN and I don't have the time to fiddle around with it when I'm working on so many other projects which are of a higher priority. I apologise for the inconvenience.

You can turn off the textbox any time you want in-game by pessing the x icon at the top of the screen or pressing H on your keyboard!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3

np! i hope it helps!

I already answered this question in another comment chain.

np!

This how you get the neutral, good, and 'final' ending (the 5th ending is not particularly happy lol so if you only want to read the best outcome you might want to skip it...)

He still wanted to have hope
He admitted he was to blame
He made light of the topic
And so he did Tavi argued against the physician’s cautions
Try to reason with Yuel
He wished that he could help Yuel
No matter how much it hurt
Uncomfortable
And he gave in to that temptation
Logical
Begged Yuel desperately
He was kind to Yuel because nobody else had been
Before he relented (if you press on you’ll get the neutral ending)

For this last choice, you'll either get the final end or the good end based on what you pick.
It's possible to get railroaded into only getting the final end from this choice if you picked other stuff earlier, but if you follow the guide the narative will branch here

He promised Yuel he would always be there for him (gives you the final ending)
He would have to be careful but… (gives you the good ending)

Yuel's two attempted suicides take place regardless of what choices you pick, since the story doesn't banch off into the different endings until about 70% of the way through. A lot of the grim content here is unskippable, though the darkest content is in a couple of the bad endings.

If you want I can tell you all the choices you need to pick to get the good ending, if you want to ensure that things end happily.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

I'm not sure at the moment, sorry.

I like UIL a lot too, it's very cute and fluffy! It's also the easiest setting to work with to do side stories or spinoffs, which is what I've been doing. I'm probably going to release a few short stories set in the UIL universe, though it might take a bit to finish them; I'll have to see how it goes!

I was writing some more cute fluff set in the Unluckily in Love universe, so there will be more things to look forward to on the horizon 👀

Haha this story is a bit sadistic...
Although, in the original draft of the story, there was only one ending, and it was a bad ending, so at least there's a possibility of things working out now!

I hope the story was still enjoyable and/or interesting despite the various Horrors I subjected my boys to haha 💦💦

Thank you!

Only a sub in this story.

This was so cute omg!!!

I loved the art so much; the backgrounds have so much character (they really do look like retro anime backgrounds from the 80s/early 90s) and the filter over everything adds to it. The character art is really nice too; I love how expressive everybody is! Skye's grumpy faces are all very cute hehe >w<

It's also nice reading a yuri VN with older characters for once! It makes a nice change from the vast majority of yuri VNs where the characters are all set in high school. The world needs more age gap yuri with adult women.

I liked Anna a lot as a protag too! I love how dry and deadpan and kind of 'over it' she is haha, her narration was a pleasure to read.

Thank you so much for creating this, it's very cute! It was a nice bite-sized treat and I enjoyed it a lot! <3

The art is very pretty! The artist did a really good job! <3

me too <3

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! <3

i'm glad!!! thank you! <3

thank you you're too kind <3
i'm glad you liked it!!!

how can any game where we play as ebony darkness be bad, though.......... she is Too Iconic

Thank you for running it! ❤️

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Aa thank you so much for your comment! It really is appreciated! I'm glad that the story was able to resonate with you! 🙏
I received some negative feedback from people because they thought Abel was too unlikeable as a character haha, but people aren't always 100% likeable: especially if they're going through difficult times. Writing a character with so many Issues was also quite a challenge, but hopefully he feels realistic because of it!

In any case, thank you so much for the feedback! I hope you were alright at work the next day too haha ;;

THANK YOU I'M GLAD YOU LIKED IT! <3

This is very sweet of you! Thank you for taking a time to leave a comment 🙏
Since this story was written for a month long game jam, I had to be a bit selective about how many scenes I could feasibly write in the timeframe. I thought establishing the characters as teenagers, then doing a timeskip to their adult lives, would be pretty fun, since it'd give the readers a chance to imagine what might have happened in these missing years for themselves. I'm glad it worked out!

Thank you very much!

Love the animations on the sprites, the character designs, and the choice of music. The writing is suitably atmospheric and feels a little old-fashioned too, which matches with the atmosphere.

The sprites also look so pretty against the moonlight window background, the lighting is lovely!

It's a really atmospheric little VN, I enjoyed it a lot!

The code for choosing your language isn't working on your phone for whatever reason. I'm not sure what the issue as it works just fine on my Android device. I can only suggest that you delete the game and redownload it, and if it still doesn't work you'll either have to play it on a PC/laptop (if you have one) or give the game a miss.

Not sure what you mean by 'black and white image': are you talking about the Ren'py loading screen?
If so, it means the game never booted up at all. Maybe the download was corrupted. You can try deleting it and reinstalling it to see if it works this time.
