Absolutely adore this game! All the love and all the care the team infused into the project are just so palpable. 

The game has so many details and features that make it special, including but not limited to the following: a large and colorful cast, all with gorgeous sprites and a satisfying range of expressions; so many funky and memorable character designs; musical tracks and sounds that are so suited to the atmosphere and the vibes; a gripping writing style with super fun dialogue; a tone that balances the horrific and comedic aspects of the story really well; distinct characterization (I can't even pick my favorite character, but all the living characters plus the Necronomicon are in the running because I spent the most time interacting with them); character dynamics and conflicts that make the world feel so real and lived-in; the relatable struggles the characters go through, with all the politics and the poison within the system; the incredible GUI, including the variations in textboxes (including the one for thinking mode and various characters) and how you can question each character on specific topics and revisit locations (the GUI might be my favorite aspect of the game, actually, although I agree with other comments that a map might have been beneficial to understand the layout of the location); the comic book-style CGs that elevated particularly important (and terrifying!) scenes; all the BGs that kept the game visually interesting despite everything being confined to a central location; the supernatural aspects, which did creep me out and take me aback in the best way possible because I had paid little attention beforehand to the game description and screenshots; the dossier and evidence and summarizing by the detective before the reveal, which helped me stay engaged in the story without having to take notes for myself; and of course the intriguing mystery, which made me suspect different characters at various points (though I did guess the culprit correctly by the end). 

I don't have a bad word to say about the project at all, but if I could have a wishlist, I would definitely be eager to revisit this world, ideally through another self-contained mystery, and learn more about our precious lil detective and his hubby. I also wish I could access extras/bonus content, maybe like a gallery to admire the details of the CGs or replay the musical tracks, as well as a list of endings to know what I achieved and what I missed (I got Justice Served, and I see from the comments that there's at least one other ending). 

All in all, great job to everyone involved in this project! Loved it immensely! Thanks for sharing your wonderful work, and wishing you all the best for your future endeavors. 

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed Jian's character! <3

Yes, I'm hoping it's held up as a time capsule to that era and all the safeguards it entailed! With dollops of wish fulfillment romance tossed in, of course <3

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it <3

Ah, thank you so much for the detailed feedback! Glad this captured the high school vibes for you! Yes, I adore Jun as well, so it was a tough decision to focus on Asa due to the time constraints of a game jam. Again, thanks for checking this out! Appreciate it. <3

Thank you for checking this out <3

Thanks for checking out this VN!

Thank you so much! Glad you like the art!

Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check this out and leave feedback! <3

Thank you very much! Much appreciated. <3

Downloaded this on a whim. I was on a bit of a downloading spree a few days ago, so I forgot what this was or why I had downloaded it. The funny title was appealing and let me know I'd probably have a good time, but I didn't expect this to be as amazing as it was?!?!?! 

The incredible variety of art is certainly a treat, but I have to say the story is by far my favorite part of this. I couldn't stop grinning goofily at the screen most of the time, and I laughed out loud and even gasped in shock here and there. 

I'm actually not the biggest fan of tooth-rotting fluff, so at certain points I was thinking, wow, wouldn't this part be a good opportunity for some angst -- like, let me ache and fret a little bit before these gays have their happy ending! And lo and behold, there was angst too?!?!?! Yes, I cried and I became righteously angry at the world  for giving my boys a hard time!!! This game really gave me everything I wanted! 

Love the POV differences for the glimpses they offer into the characters' mindsets! I browsed through some of the comments/replies and saw the intent behind why Vale was acting the way he was. That was very enlightening to learn about. I'm somebody who can relate a lot to Lawrence, as I tend to act like him when I'm infatuated with someone -- obsessive and touch-starved and needy and just a little bit too much sometimes. I like how he can still be the way he is, but tempered and kept in line when he's going overboard, thanks to Vale. His heteronormative upbringing and family situation really made me feel for him and want the best for him, so the ending was very welcome.

Thanks so much for making this wonderful VN and sharing it with the world!

Such a fun, adorable game! I enjoyed getting all three endings and simply getting to know this kooky cast of characters! Thank you for making and sharing such a solid VN!

Hello! My team's submission for NaNoRenO 2024 has been released! 

Download it here: https://orcamartiangames.itch.io/ferris-feels

SYNOPSIS: 

You're riding a ferris wheel with the woman of your dreams. Cassia, a new arrival at your seaside hometown, may be concealing secrets beneath her summer dress.

FEATURES: 

• Music box with 7 original tracks
• 5 endings (plus 1 unending loop)
• Nearly 9000 words
• 1 love interest full of secrets

I'm impressed with the level of detail in the backstories of all the characters and in the overarching narrative. The partial to full voice acting was a nice touch. Arabella's story felt the most fleshed-out to me. I enjoyed piecing together all the details of her past. However, my favorite characters were probably Marianne, whose personality and secrets and voice were the most intriguing to me, and Lysander, whose character design was just god-tier. He was one of the last characters I met, and I was picturing him as an abrasive old uncle, perhaps a bit similar to the enigmatic Rory. So I was taken aback by how handsome Lysander looked. I just love his hair, outfit, eye color, and even the visible veins on the side of his face. 

I was taken off guard by the direction the story took after I met a certain doctor. From that point on, the tone of the overarching narrative seemed to skew a bit darker. Before that part of the plot, I naively thought I'd just be shambling about in my admittedly worn-out state and assisting the eccentric cast of ghosts without being in too much danger myself. 

The backgrounds were all gorgeous. I loved the little animations, especially of the bottle that kept tipping itself. The animation in the entrance hall, which was incredibly subtle, perhaps should have tipped me off to the fact that certain charaters were not as they initially seemed. 

My favorite musical tracks were probably the ones that played in the lounge and in the bedroom. 

Overall, this was an engaging experience. Congrats to everyone in the team for putting out such a solid project!

This was super cute and endearing! The art was so pretty to look at. All the characters were so lively, colorful, vibrant, and likable! I had a fun time pursuing all the love interests and reading their date scenes. My favorite LIs were Mask and Ceros, though Priscella was probably the most well-developed character since the MC spent more time with her. 

A hearty congratulations on completing such a polished and solid visual novel within a month!

This was such a fun game! The art was gorgeous. The character designs, especially of the creepy creatures, were amazing, and the scares  and sound design were really effective. I especially enjoyed the Collector's design and the musical chairs game, which had me at the edge of my seat. Pun completely intended. 

I got all the endings. The hardest one for me to reach was Bad Ending D. I had sort of given up on finding the last ending by that time so when it happened, I was taken aback in the best way possible. 

Overall, I enjoyed this snapshot into the Baron and his minions. I was definitely left wanting more at the end. Congrats on making such a solid horror VN!

So excited to hear about more game/s in this series! I went back and got the other endings, by the way. I'm choosing to accept Ending C (the one I got before I saw the other ending conditions in the guide) as my canon. <3

Took a break from Spooktober games for a pick-me-up by playing this VN. I loved protoViolence so much so I was guessing I would enjoy the sequel too. It was entertaining, just as I knew it would be! 

I started out hopeful as I was able to do the first couple of puzzles, but oh boy. At some point I had to cling for dear life to the guide to get past the rest of the puzzles, which were all really well-constructed and challenging! I did so badly that I collected all the ways to die/fail embarrassingly easily. My favorite puzzles were probably the Tetris-like puzzle (since I'm obsessed with Tetris) and the breakfast food one. 

The entire visual novel looks incredible, from the colorful and lovingly-accessorized character designs to the backgrounds to the puzzles to the interface. The voice acting was super solid as well. 

I loved clicking all the details and seeing how they fit in with the lore I knew from playing the prequel. I was so happy to get Ending C. Cautionne is so precious, and I would do anything for him, truly! 

I'd be so down to check out another game in the Violence series, but even if there will be only two, I want to thank you for creating such a wonderfully engaging experience! I love this world and its characters with all my heart! <3

I enjoyed the exploration and the mystery-solving aspects of this visual novel. The game mechanics, including the dice roll, kept things fresh. My favorite part was a certain section of the game when I went to Susanna's room and something in there took me off-guard. I must've missed the explanation for what was happening there. Nonetheless, I was creeped out. 

I solved the mystery through two slightly different endings, but I'm not sure I fully understood what was going on in the end. Perhaps I should've been taking notes. 

Reading the list of canceled features was interesting. I'm wondering how different the experience would have been if the team pushed through with a few of these features. 

Thanks to the team for releasing this game. I had a nice time checking it out!

I encountered a bug (not game-breaking) at the beginning when I was trying to save during the stat distribution portion. Also, I would sometimes notice that doing a random action (I can't remember which) would refill my points to five before the day ended. I agree with what what another commenter said about the text occasionally being difficult to read. Sometimes, the text would be too long for the text box (specifically some of the choices).

Thanks to the team for releasing this game. I had a nice time checking it out!

Wow. What a story this was. I'm not sure I enjoyed my experience, honestly. It felt too real, too uncomfortable, too self-cringe-inducing, too depressingly relatable. While I can't say I had fun reading this, I can confidently say I felt this story on a deeply personal level. 

it must take an incredibly skilled writer to get a reader to self-reflect to this extent. I couldn't help wondering as I was reading whether I, like Mari, have ever been stuck in the same sort of negative, nihilistic, and ultimately self-destructive patterns of thought and behavior. I'm pretty sure that, at certain points in my life, I would be dwelling on ideas and engaging in harmful habits like hers. 

At the same time, I also felt good about myself when reading some parts of the story. Mari doesn't have a very effective filter, for better or for worse, so her bitterness slipped out in front of others so many times. I would then tell myself: well, at least I'm not that terrible to those around me! One example was when Mari thinks about commenting on someone's social media. That might be one of my favorite scenes because it felt so authentic. It was interesting being stuck in what possibly is similar to the mindset of many internet trolls. I'm sure a lot of them are deeply unhappy individuals who want to lash out in the only platform where they can do so invisibly and without consequence so that they can feel better about themselves, however briefly. 

Goldie served as a flawless foil to Mari's character. Amidst Mari's spiral deeper and deeper into pessimism and hopelessness, Goldie acted as the perfect counterpoint for the reader's benefit -- she showed that a better path does exist, if only one dared to reach out and grab it. While nothing in life is easy, one will never get anywhere if they gave up and stopped trying to change for the better. 

Overall, this is a story I won't soon forget! I am very grateful to the team for developing and releasing this thought-provoking and emotionally resonant visual novel. You're all amazing!

Despite thoughtlessly clicking on one spoilery image on Discord, I still had no idea what sort of horror this game would contain. I was pleasantly surprised when the scary moments started popping up! 

I love, love, love the exploration, point-and-click, and inventory features. These aspects truly made me feel like I was playing a fleshed-out game.  All the visual effects, like the wobbly text and action lines (???), gave the experience that extra oomph. The sound effects were great as well. 

All the art was very clean and polished to look at. The sprites were super expressive and adorable, even during the darker moments of the story. The backgrounds turned creepy yet cool when the horror started settling in. 

I was able to get 12 of the endings and around half of the achievements by myself, then I checked the guide and got all the endings and achievements I was still missing. That's how invested I was. My favorite ending was probably S or M. 

Congrats to the team for creating such a thrilling and entertaining game! I had loads of fun!

The writing in this visual novel was simply outstanding -- ornate and apt for the subject matter without being totally inscrutable. The game masterfully captured the feeling of being trapped in fairy tales, with each decision feeling loaded and with each character filling me with doubt as to their potential ulterior motives. Speaking of the characters, I loved them all. Shout-outs to the fairy, the woodsman, and the merrow-man. I didn't know whether I wanted to hug them or to run for my life whenever they appeared, to be honest. 

The puzzles and riddles were tremendously fun and just the right amount of challenging. The ring was also a really nice feature upon which to fall back whenever I was stuck, even though every time I used it, the toll that I would end up having to pay would always make me curl up in shame. 

I adore the NVL/script-like format of the text. The logo and interface tie together so nicely. And the look of the entire project is just exquisite, including the sprites, the backgrounds, and the foggy effects. The sound design, especially at the beginning, was super eerie and immersive. The music was incredible -- I stopped at various points just to admire the tracks playing in the background. 

I achieved four endings and managed to avoid dying even once! Overall, this was an extraordinary experience that I would heartily recommend to anybody who loves fairy tales or who enjoys well-written fantasy narratives in general!

This was the scariest Spooktober game I've played so far this year! The story and characters felt fully fleshed out. All the twists and turns gripped me effortlessly throughout. The flashlight portion of the game was very cool and effective.

I got two endings, but many of the choices felt significant. I still have to go back and try to uncover what other secrets the story might have.

The designs of the characters, creatures, and backgrounds were dense with detail and always interesting to examine. The soundtrack and sound design kept me on my toes.

This was definitely a roller coaster ride of an experience that I do not regret! Congrats to the team for the excellent work and for nailing this really entertaining and heart-pounding horror visual novel!

This is one of my favorite VNs/KNs I've played recently! It's so polished and well-constructed that I would consider buying it or games like it. 

There are so many aspects of this project that I loved, including:

- Sprites: The appealing character designs and all the expressions and animations.
- Backgrounds: There are just SO MANY of them. I liked examining all the little details. There was always something new and interesting to stare at. I enjoyed looking at the rainy portions and even the bloody and gory parts!
- GUI: The shaky text effects and the positioning of the options.
- Music: My favorite tracks were the ones that played during the investigative and reveal portions. The song title being displayed is such a cool feature too.
- Sound design: All the sound effects plus the blips for the text and for instances when something important is mentioned.
- Title: It's unique and extremely apt. I love the logo too.
- Ending: I browsed the comments and saw that a few had gripes about the conclusion. Personally, I liked it. The tone went a bit grimmer than I was expecting, but the darkness made sense to me, given the outcome and the characters involved.

Of course, I was enthralled by the writing (I didn't spot a single typo!) and the murder mystery itself. I appreciated the clue system and the reminders to try and solve the mystery for ourselves. Regarding the reveal, I figured out the broader mystery but not the specifics. The culprit was, in fact, the one I LEAST suspected. I think I focused too much on my inventory of clues and neglected to consider that subtler tells were being planted right from the beginning.

The reaper lore was super interesting. Grea's personality was consistently engaging. It was a clever choice to portray her POV for this kind of story. Due to the nature of her work, it made sense that she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty and wasn't prone to attachment. Overall, this world you've created has so much potential, and I'd love to see more!

The character designs and the art in general are so bright, colorful, and cute! A special mention must go out to the mustache that matches Elderflower's look, complete with ribbons, and Nivienne's slime hat. 

Speaking of Nivienne, I love chaotic witches like her. I support her various causes and her mission to inconvenience the monarchy. I also agree that Eldie's mustache looked great. I think I actually prefer her design with that feature, haha! 

Cierre is also likable and relatable. While they might not have fully honed their skills, they have good intentions and they're trying their best, and that's what matters! Their narration made me chuckle so many times. 

The music, which was very catchy, made me bob my head at various points. The GUI is very clean and pretty as well. I enjoyed looking at the character art and notes in the Extras. 

For the story, I adored the light-hearted tone and the witty humor, which led to many laugh-out-loud moments. I enjoyed clicking through all the choices and seeing how they affected the story in little and not-so-little ways. I liked all four endings. (A fifth ending with a fully-mustachioed kingdom, you say? Yes, please.)

Overall, this has been the cutest and funniest Spooktober entry I've seen so far! Congrats to the team for a job wonderfully done!
