Still, a very wonderful game and experience as well. Likely one of the best ones I played this year. All of the art you created (including the characters, the stories, music, extras, everything) is such a wonderfully crafted things to convey the struggle as a creator. And I can relate a lot to this game. I think most have been said at this point.

Again, thank you so much!

this is such a really cool game. cool and amazing art, cool characters both npcs and playable ones as well. storywise is straightforward. for the cw issues, I think it’s still deep, especially during further in the good route and full/entirety of bad route, and I think it handled well. It reminds me of ISAT, in a good way and without time looping at least, but yeah I feel bad for what happened to most of the stars in this world.

Overall, it’s a really hidden gem, and I think this deserves more recognition.

I feel like the first gate is one short off to be solvable. If the button was under the gate, I think technically the last level is solvable.... unless the last level is really intended to be unsolvable.

not gonna lie, this game is really good! there are certain levels of back and forth that are real good, especially the actual final level (the one before finale), that one took me a while to figure out until actually learning the yin yang of back and forthing, tho there are some that are questionable. (which are mostly found in the 1-x), but again understandable for like what level to make, I guess somehow gotta balance it.

I do know that, I’m asking where they activated this peculiar situation on this one, since I couldn’t recreate it.

Does this one required another block to be activated?

any tips on the last level?

Ok really cool covemount fangame. I am confused on how to continue the final one after discovering the thing.

Certainly an enjoyable eeriely bizarre wakaranai experience of a game that wasn’t made for me. Tho, I guess I can say I can somehow relate in this game’s situation.

very fun! could see potential with more levels.

Very fun game! Art is very pretty I will not lie on that, and the difficulty is just right. 

Again, pretty cool!

You’re welcome, and thanks, tho I had to use save editor, for the other ending, but at least showcasing the other choices that can allow you to see those first before I do it, since I cannot do the chase (this part alone I will kid not, took like 14+ minutes) and typing segment again, unless those parts get better in post-jam update. (and I was thanking god I found out that I can still trigger, and not just if you enter this segment with already amount of points.) Again, I apologize if I had to do that. Still I will admit, it had the right difficulty, almost, kind of felt like some of the latter rpg maker games that had random qte, it’s just certain parts felt brutal and single mistake and it’s over, unless the tps of a person is insane, which there are some.

(also has no commentary. One thing to note I played the old version, as I noticed there’s a new update now, and I’m unsure if some of the issues I mentioned as well in the description of the video/mentioned a bit here, but summarize)

Pretty amazing game, even for a game jam! I like the art, the characters, the story/worldbuilding/lore in this world! Sound design is also pretty amazing as well, can give you spooks at times while exploring/investigating. It’s also challenging, but I guess fitting for trying to repent and/or atone a grave sin.... tho I do have some issues relating on it. I guess I will say the chase segment is really cool, tho it lagged, at least not hard, but still enough to like run over to eyeballs at times, misinputs/failed jumps, and even jump out of bounds. I think the typing section can be brutal at times, especially the last one. I think the arrows segment can be replace with words that are random instead, so at least the player can prepare more, and especially with some of them just like after the end of the fixed words, which of course happened to me at times, and unprepared.

Regardless of the issues, I had fun.

Kudos, keep up the good work, and good luck for future endeavors! 

That should be all of them. znxr fher lbh unir vachggrq va beqre. V purpxrq gur fgnghf naq frr vs gur tnzr vf hcqngrq vg unfa’g.

Well currently gotten only like 25%, but gotten some of the things needed, so I know what to do.... Except a few things that I learned from somewhere, since there are certain ones that require you hope for the best.

I’ll consider it, however I’ve been in spiral lately so yeah, it might take a while.

Seeing multiple translators in this looks like they're really dedicated on bringing this tale to the fullest. Can't wait to check it out, even if a bit delayed.

That's good to hear! Also, good to know they are actually a boy.

Really cool game! I enjoyed it till the end. It’s a straightforward bittersweet micro VN. I really love the art that’s one thing to say, and the music choices.

Overall, not bad, and really decent. I guess the translation is good/decent as well. Looking forward for your future endeavors.

I made a playthrough: one commentated and one just for those who just wants to enjoy the game audio/non-commentated.

Also, I did read the guidelines, lemme know if the thumbnail is alright. or if there’s anything else to note of.

Very adorable mystery VN! I love the art and the character designs, and their characterization as well. I enjoy all the sections: The investigations and the battle time ones. The world of this game is also interesting, and hopefully will like to know more, if a sequel/continuation update is in the works that is. I also do love the cut-ins as well!

Pretty cool game.

Alright finally solved everything. Took a while to figure out in the new 17 and 20 (tho I never solved the original level 20) despite I know what to do, but like a number of days. I was also on the last level before in whole one day before the fix happened.

Welp, I finally understood what I needed to do, even before you replied. Still thanks tho. I think again at this point this should be kind of a later level instead. The hat trick seems to be better level 3 instead imo. Just a suggestion, and no worries if you don't need to.

Can I know what do you actually need to do in the level 3/purpose of the level? I would say this deserves to be a later level at this point as it is harder than the later rest of the game. 
EDIT of 5/4/2026: Ok solved it.

Upon checking the original level again from the only playthrough, which is something I solved, I don’t think it was an unintended solution. Everything else that was replaced so far, except the last new two, I have solved with ease.

And the last two new levels I have idea of what to do now, and still nothing in the new level 3.

Is the new level 3 solvable?

So I decided to tackled both of the games, since it’s been a while on my interest, and all I can say, despite not much to say, the games are straightforward and easy to understand, I enjoyed it. Most have been likely said at this point, but I enjoy the 4th wall breaks the games had, and even further on the second game, or this game, with the slow realization build up as well. It’s really good. And I’ll praise the second game as well for having WASD controls.

Overall, I had fun.

Welp finally beaten it. Took me a while to solve the last level, but probably did not stumble me a lot as some of the previous levels.

oh ok thanks, it’s funny this felt like a later level rather than early level. everything else afterwards was straightforward.

Making sure at least no prototype version of some levels are left in the game/likely forgot to update a level. Is this level tested and possible? I don’t see a way to move out the pieces. This is the first one that I got stuck and basically not really seeing any other way and always ended up in seeming impossible to move out the other red green gems. 

(Note atm: this will be updated later as I will change the video, due to one bonus game have to be edited out.

EDIT of 4/29/2026: it has been edited & updated.)

(Also has no commentary.)

I like the game so far. Really amazing art and some amazing music choices! (that unfortunately had to be muted because copyclaims. As much I would suggest a much more original soundtrack, it’s understandable, if can’t or not possible.) Also I like the story so far, it’s a very weird supernatural adventure, and as well the characters. Can’t wait for the full game in the future.

Absolute banger small gauntlet metroidvania game. But uh yeah there are issues I also have experienced like some of the comments here. Still, I had fun. The challenge is just right, and really love the art and music as always especially from sarn as well. Absolutely well done game, and hopefully there will be an update to this game, because it really needs it.

A really neat VN I will say! I do love the art, and especially being pixel arts, and as well the character design (they are adorable.) Story and the twist is very straightforward.  Still, I enjoyed reading it. As for the translation, looks like the translator done a well job on it. 

I hope to see more of your works in the future.

I made a playthrough, again, very fun puzzle game. I also like the graphics and music of the game, and it’s really cool + pixel arts is a chef kiss. Hopefully to see the game expanded one day.

(also has no commentary. Your game is at start.)

Very interesting game that got me hooked and immediately known all the secrets within 30 minutes of first time unrecorded playing, except of like dumb mistake that I kept doing, and forgot that you can do that first, before doing everything else, so it become like 2 hours, because I kept trying of some impossible combinations. It is a certainly interesting take of one room escape game, and I will say, it’s not to hard once you figure out what to do. But it is still really a kind of I will say in difficulty scale like medium big brain.

Overall again, it is satisfying to solve. Thank you so much.
(half-minute edit, I also noticed it got updated. hopefully nothing big.)

very fun relaxing game, as always, like the last one I played. (I still have yet to play the previous one you created in a future time.) Really adorable art and graphics, and just really relaxing destruction, and a nice surprise at the end. There are some comments that I have to agree, but the fun factor is still high in the end, so yeah. Keep up on making great relaxing games!

Ooh that’s nice to hear, and wow. I hope you’re enjoying the game. It’s still my favorite in the DS Entries... with the more personal one being EOV (on the 3DS).

I did solve the level, but I don’t want to spoil completely, 

So spoiler alerts below,

There are some guys to find, you can find them on certain levels. They’re not that many. If you don’t want to lose progress/replay, you can try incognito playing the game. I still wish there’s a level select to make checking other levels back easier.

And a tip, as long it’s reachable/you can check every single area, it’s likely there, and they do not appear on single sugarcube areas (or I dunno what the erasable cubes are called even then anyway.)

Would be nice if it has level select instead.

I have not solve that yet, but replaying the game, there are some things you might find interesting. Ofc I haven't found every single of them but yeah.
