Very sweet. Your depiction of the characters' love for each other was nuanced in a way I don't see depicted often. (As in they're unsure if they even are in love.) (And what does being "in love" really mean?) Both parties want the best for the relationship and might even be a good match, but it still doesn't work out as they'd hoped. Their reaching the final stop would have been a very fairytale happily-ever-after -esque ending. Thank you for making this game <3

I love how you conveyed Lexona's betrayed feelings and the last "safe" place in her life being tainted, it was upsetting to read, but in a good way. Revo's POV at the end was interesting too. A lot and at the same time very little was left open ended. Revo is fatalistic about their future, and I can't blame her.
Also am very surprised to have learned from the other comments that you made this in only 6 days! Nice job.
Super cute story. I was kind of on Paczki's side and thought the noise machine was evil at first but I'm glad it wasn't...Or at least didn't do anything super malevolent? I think it really was trying to help the mc and I think that's sweet :(
Also really nice layering on both the sounds and visuals, was relaxing.
Thank you! I was inspired by the UI overlay in ebi-hime's It gets so lonely here.
I have to admit I really like writing fucked up changes the character's can't seemingly back out from, but it's always a challenge reading about them :,) Probably because when it's someone else's work you can't know for sure what's coming up.
Maaan I really needed that Bonus scene after oughhh...This was very intense, good job. What happens is disgusting, and all parts of the experience worked together really nicely, text, audio and visuals. The shock that came after for Lana was written super convincingly and was genuinely upsetting. Her recollection of all the things that she did / could have done differently to change the outcome was amazing to read. The what-if thoughts are agonizing on their own but then paired with the fact that she also got the camera replay of what happened along with her own memories. I really loved this, it feels like you thought of every way you could make this more sad and horrible and took it :)
Thank you! Everything I write turns into slow burn regardless of if I wanted it or not :D So I'm glad you liked it! I went with the small face sprites this time around due to the time constraint, but I ended up pretty happy with them too.
God help her! She ought to help herself as well, but I don't know if she'll get around to that anytime soon...
I enjoyed it. The sprite work is very cute. Long nosed and fat women supremacy!
About the story (spoilers):
I didn't read the warnings, so I was pretty surprised by what the story ended up being about. I think it's completely possible to have a healthy relationship even if it starts out with attraction that's closely intertwined with the other person's fetish. This largely depends on respect, seeing the other as their own, whole person. Which Delilah spectacularly fails at :,) I mean, she tries to satisfy her own fetish covertly, telling Stacey about it only when forced to.
I found the depiction of Delilah's pushiness and manipulation believable, especially in the scene where Stacey feels the need to apologize to her over nothing.
Stacey herself was pretty relatable. Just a girl trying to get by... The depiction of her eating disorder, especially the shame and guilt of it, was done well, I think. In the end I wondered if her outburst at Delilah was more motivated by the anxiety her disordered thinking was causing her, or the constant struggle of getting her wants ignored by Delilah, even if "nicely". Probably both.
The game left me with a lot to think about! Thanks for sharing it :)
This was a fun and disconcerting read. This may say more about the reader than the vn, but I found this even funny at some points with how desperate/fucked up the main character was vs. Linette's obliviousness (though she was probably pretending not to understand to save the mc the shame).
Vague spoiler warning for below:
In the end maybe Linette was the dinosaur the closest to being good here...Abigail said some messed up stuff too, though it makes sense for her as a character, being in a position of high expectation and stress.
Initially I interpreted Linette in an unfavourable way too, what with her not remembering the mc's name and seeming a bit dismissive, but she takes care of hundreds of people! The mc's indignation over that really hammers home her ignorance of the things going on outside of her own experience, but also the sad impossibility of Linette seeing her as someone special.
The mc is interesting too. Her inner thoughts are written bluntly, which really helps in not beautifying them.
The death scene with Josephine was probably my favorite. Really creative in its grossness. The descriptions of settings were also evocative, and, well, gross in a good way!
