Only a few minutes in, I am dying bc this is way too real. I absolutely love the cinematography of this, the pacing, the mood,  I am loving this so far. NOT THE IMMEDIATE ATTACK THE MOMENT U BREATHE INTO THE LIVINGROOM AND BEING COMPARED TO THE OTHER CHILD. LOVE IT

Okay back to serious: The art here is so great, I love every CG here and I'm shocked by how much there is. I did notice that some lines are missing the first letter of a few sentences, but everything is still understandable!!

I'm trying to get another ending, and I'm wondering if it has to do with the energy levels at the top...? I'm unsure if I'm doing things correctly but I'm so curious about that second ending... I must try again later. ;o; navigating the battlefield of family dinners really do be hitting hehe

I really liked playing this and reading this, I feel bad for Jae-ik...

Oh man I really loved the atmosphere and story-telling and pace of this. The art I really liked too, the style, the characters were fun and felt grounded, and the tension felt awesome. The jumpscares definitely got me, but I was kind of like. OH THAT MAKES SENSE. NODS NODS!

I got invested in the scenario and story, and had a lot of fun reading this from beginning to end and really enjoyed it!!

I loved the visuals and design for this game! The characters were super cute, I spent a long time admiring Rein's design when I first saw her and marveling and the detail and how cute she is omg!

I got all the endings and found myself surprised by the epilogue, but found it kind of amusing in a messed up way too. I wish I got to see more of that too hehe

Hi Waldorf, thank you for your comment! It was really great seeing you play our game on stream! We really appreciate your feedback!

Writing the characters, having them fleshed out, and making the art has been some of my favorite parts of making this game with Shira, and I'm really glad that those have left a good impression. We definitely realized too late that the character pixel sprites stand out in an odd way due to a zoom issue, so that is definitely something we will plan around better in the future.

We did attempt to make a hook, but I think we need to do a little rearranging/tightening up of how the game flows to make that hook a bit more clear. You did hit an earlier ending that cut the game's story short, so that's something we also realize we need to be aware of with our writing and pacing. (Back to the writing documents for us, haha)

Thank you for your comments and feedback! I'm so glad you liked Masaki as well, it was so much fun seeing this sleepy guy come to life haha ;w;

I loved this!

The characters were so fun to witness-- Rutile was a really endearing protag to follow, Alle kept me on my toes and guessing about what her situation was, and oh my gosh I love characters like the knight. The minigame for cooking was very cute, and the pacing and story was very enjoyable and engaging from beginning to end.

When I first saw Alle, I thought she was a guy and thought she was a really handsome man. And then I realized she's a lady and I was just oh my GOD that's a REALLY HANDSOME LADY-- I was so envious of Rutile lolol

I was surprised by the ending, and I only wish I got to see more of Alle's view of things, because I was surprised about the twist. When we first encountered Alle, I was initially intimidated by the "blood" splatter on her design but started to see her as a firm but kind figure in the story (and ngl, I started shipping the two hard too.) To see Alle's true nature about what happened to her family (or rather what she did to her family,) felt a little jarring to me, but I still liked the story and how it branched. Rutile taking on Alle's identity in one of the endings was absolutely fascinating to me!! even though I was post mourning what happened to Alle haha

The art was perfect, I liked the CGs in the endings, and pixel art style was really enjoyable to look at. This was a fun story and experience!

Thank you for the comment! We're glad you liked the art style of the game ;w; We did keep to a simple game play on purpose but its smth we're thinking about for more games in the future!

I really liked what I got from this game's prologue! The atmosphere was chill but melancholy, and I'm really looking forward to know more about Blythe's story! The animations were so cool, and overall I just really liked this short visual novel experience!

This game was so interesting and I loved seeing my friend play it! The writing style hooked me in from the start, but then when the glitches started happening and gameplay style started changing, I was definitely super hooked. Personally, I got too spooked when the real scary things started happening, but I found each stage of the game intriguing from start to finish!

Really loved this idea and experience, really awesome take on the whole meta / glitchy gameplay!

OH so I think I got the good ending! I got so stubborn with that room, but that must've been the room that consumed the rest of my time! It was really fun, thank you for the fun experience!

Oh my goodness I loved this so much. It was so much fun to play, and the narrative kept making me smile and giggle, I love the writing and concept so much. The puzzles were both visually fun and engaging, and to be honest these sort of genres are one of my favorites. I'm really looking forward to more installments of this series!

I did notice a few issues, like the player appearing to walk over things she shouldn't, and there were some grammar/spelling and spacing issues where the text overflowed from the textbox, and other minor language/text inconsistencies, but other than that I really REALLY loved this game and experience. The characters were all so enjoyable, every single one of them, and Avacodobear really got a good laugh out of me!

I'll be keeping tabs on this, I need more of Kiara's story. I need to know more about Puppet Master. I have a need!

I had a lot of fun playing this game! I knew something would be up with a title like "Save Me!" and a cute princess on the cover, and I was wondering in what ways could I obey or disobey the game... the writing was funny and entertaining, and the way the meta reveal was handled in this game caught me by surprise, but in the good way!

I also enjoyed the fact that there are little secrets, and it's making me want to go back and try to appease the scarecrow. (Also, the RPG Maker error screens were really fun! I had a good laugh out of that too) Overall, I had a great time!

This game was really fun to play! I was relaxed at first, enjoying the first few minutes of exploring the universe, puzzle solving, and trying to guess what people need, but then my panic started to set in when the enemies started to follow me. Kind of felt like doomsday omg, (and I was SO determined to not be in my room when the timer went down only bc the enemies kept teleporting me back in!)

The art was really cute and endearing, and the wordless story telling was definitely something I was not expecting!

I'm at my first playthrough and I'm wondering if I managed to solve all the puzzles correctly or not, I feel like that big room of flowers and enemies keep calling to me... overall, I really enjoyed the experience!

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed the art and gameplay.

It's not based off of a existing folktale, but in a way that is close to one of the vibes we were aiming for. ;w;

I definitely learned a lot during this process, it's been half a month now and I'm still buzzing from the game jam frenzy ;w; And thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that!
I'm pretty new to using engines and making visual novels, but as a beginner, it was very easy for me to learn, and I had a lot of fun directing scenes ;w; It was a good experience

Thank you so much for playing our game! Shira and I are the beginners in this project, and we had such a good time making this game with Archeia. If it weren't for Archeia's experience and initiative, I don't know if we'd be able to put out a game like this, especially at such a short amount of time haha ;w; 
Archeia worked really hard on the UI and interface, as well as so much of the visual direction of the game. ;w; I think all three of us worked really hard to make what we did, so I'm just super happy we worked on this project together.

And the engine we used is Visual Novel Maker! It was the first time I've ever used it, but it was really good and I found myself quickly learning how to get used to it!

Thank you so much orino!! I'm glad that our characters' designs were enjoyable, and that you enjoyed the story and the scenes! I was honestly a bit worried about that scare, but I'm glad it was effective haha sorry

I really liked the poem too, the first time archeia showed it to us like that, I was so shook! hehe

Thank you again for your comment!!

Oh my goodness, I don't know where to start. The vibes of this game was perfect, and I got so upset at the places that I should've been upset at. You know when you're told a horrifying story and as the pieces slowly come together, the realization makes you sick and shocked and you're just standing there in stunned, awed silence?

that's me rn

this was incredible,  I loved it ;; w ;; I am now scared of soup

(and I was absolutely afraid when mr. tokuri yelled at us...  ;;;w;;; so afraid... in all seriousness, mr. tokuri's character is so interesting too, in a way where I'm afraid of not only what secrets he has, but him as a person... his kind smile makes me forget that he had called us abusive insults under a scary, jarring sound. @A@ there was an element of like... mythical horror, but also the horror that felt too real of scary people who can react like mr. tokuri. loved this story, it was such an experience)

Tagging along more to this! I was so excited to see my friend replay this again because the first time I saw it, the story and character relationship was so interesting and I wanted to know more so badly. Figuring out the mystery and the story was so good, and I really love the mood that this game puts out.

Hearing and watching Adrian interact with Jules is also what hooked me in and got me attached to these characters, and trying to theorize and find out about them more just got me so TTATT

This was such an enjoyable game! Replaying it was a little hard because of the inability to load where we forgot details, but finding the others endings and the somber vibes of this game was absolutely great. I love these characters and story, I feel so sad for them ): thank you for sharing this game with us!!

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed it! ;w;

Thank you so much, Puddor!! ;w;

Oh my GOSH I loved this so much! I played as Everett, he's my baby boy now. I love the character interactions, Tara is such a sweetie and Blake... he's so cool, eheh. The story is so interesting, and the gameplay is legitimately so much fun. I liked being able to explore the house and panic ;w; I can't wait to see more of this game!!

I think I like blake too much, sorre

Thank you so much!! We wanted to put so many more character perspectives and components into the game, but we weren't able  to with the timeframe we had 😭 We were hoping to express the characters' personalities and dynamics well with this chapter, and I'm glad that the scares worked! ;w; thank you so much for your comment, we saw it and were so happy! (Also, I wanted to see more of Kira too, I miss them 😭😭😭)
