This is so so amazing I would absolutely love to see a similar format in any of your future games!!! Amazing work as always~

Omgg I totally get what you mean, the game feels so tight on pacing that I feel like I’m always engaged so I could see how it having more could make it not as seamless.  And it really isn’t so bad to be left wanting afterall :3 !! I can already see myself revisiting this game in the future over and over for sure hehe

omg this went in a direction i completely didn't expect!! i loved loved loved the dynamic between tels and kit, even if tels was like looking at all kit's socials and being a little obsessive idk it made me love them so much more. i had to keep reminding myself what jam this was made for so i could prepare my heart... and ooooouuughh im glad i did </3 what an outcome... i thought maybe kit would end up being not at all what she seemed and while her outcome is tragic i also feel happy that tels could help tether her to a part of herself she thought she lost. all of the people on this project totally killed it, i loved discovering all of what was going on alongside tels and the 3d work was so fun, there are quite a few really nice compositions. i am of course writing all of this feeling so sad in my heart but also very full because those cozy scenes were so beautiful and nice <3 i sincerely look forward to more collabs hopefully i am crossing my fingers so hard!!!

GOSH. THIS IS PEAM.

I don't even know how to describe my face when all those options popped up in the dream. It was awesome. But I'm getting ahead of myself cause the vibes of the duel itself made for an amazing climax + finale... the moon, the wind, the animation.... I find myself now having finished it and just wishing the whole game was longer or that there were multiple routes or anything anything anything!!! I'm almost never at this much of a loss for words when I go to write a comment but my brain is buzzing so much I feel like I can't even verbalize how cooooool everything was!!! I love that the duels are in dreams but still have consequences in the real world... The campus has a MAP?? Which only made me want to see even more of everything. The backgrounds were also so great, even if there is one that ends up not being repeated so much it feels like it's given the same level of attention and care. Like, why do I remember the blue bounce light on the door when Bao checks the letter for who she is going to fight!? It's just damn good. I also really liked the classroom bg too. And the dithering transitions between all of them... I feel like there are some obvious influences for the setting of the game but it also feels so much like it's own thing... It's really lovely!!! ADDDITIONALLY, I love that we get a view into not only the character's psyches BUT ALSO bit of gossip about their backgrounds. I think even the small details we are privy too and the inner thoughts of the protagonist's mind makes the ending so effective. BAO GOT MENTAL DIFF'D and that was so. GOOD. I wish I could detangle more of my thoughts but for now, suuuuch an epic work!!! EDIT: I FORGOT TO MENTION BUT THE MUSIC WAS ALSO STUNNING. I'd love to listen to it if it gets uploaded anywhere.

this is such a freaking cool concept with such attention to detail packed into something so short! honestly so impressed, and i love how everyone is sharing what they got!! great work :D

omg seeing the wips from this project, it ended up taking a completely different direction than what i expected and i LOVED IT. the excitement of the visit combined with the vibe of kind of going through the couple motions even though the chemistry isn't really there... i feel like theres also this profound sense of maybe these characters dont really "get" each other shown through small but very clever lines... i feel like deirdre's flaws are obvious because we see so much of her inner dialogue but some things i can think of specifically from kenzie are like, the voice pitch comment, the "dude" thing, the aquarium kiss... it was wonderful to see that both characters have flaws in their own ways. also obviously the GUI is CRACKED and AMAZING, but i also want to shout out the sprite movement, i really enjoyed the added detail of that :D there were so many moments where i just had to stop and go eeeee for a second because of what was happening, especially towards the end. anyways, excellent work jill and pilot this was very much worth the wait :3 !!!

thank you so much!! yesss hehehe i really wanted to write a poem that was very specific to these two characters' connection and the magical world they live in but also could maybe speak broadly as well to how people feel about their tuoys :P

thank you!! and i feel you, i really like body horror but i also like quite cute and girly things so when I can I love to combine the two lolol~ your kind words mean a lot ^w^ !!

WOOOOWWW THIS TURNED OUT SO AMAZING. I feel like the assets are really expertly used and feel so polished, the little animations for blinking/speaking adds a lovely touch. Also the background squares had a lot of interesting historical work I found fascinating. But mostly, even though the GUI is a bit atypical in how it handles backgrounds, I think that plus the prose was allowing me to picture everything really well nonetheless. That is to say--I enjoyed using my mind to imagine it as I liked :D Also, the prose is SUPER evocative, and I really enjoyed the sort of Feeling it gives you... like I'm nostalgic for a place that I haven't even been anywhere I could compare it to. I think my favorite part were the doll scenes. Especially the ones about Goody Bourdon, and particularly that last one + the ending... well, it feels like everything comes full circle, right? And I'm right there with Lucy being so swept up in Susanna's story that I'm like... we must search ALL THE CAMPS TO FIND THIS STUFF... 10/10 I would watch a miniseries based on this.

thank you!! coloring it was so fun~ :D

thank you very much for the kind words :3 !!

thank you, I’ll do my best ^w^ !!

thanks so much!! I hope to share more of them in time :3

thank you so much for the kind words!! also I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the bonus pages w the perfumes cause I am soooo into fragrance HAHA

thank you mala!! If it makes you happy then I’m happy :)

thank you so much for checking it out!! also yess hehehehe I wanted the latter half of the poem to contrast the daytime very much >w<

Ohhh I’m so glad you noticed the classmate!! I love her design so much I just had to sneak her in there and I’m happy someone noticed~ also glad you noticed the bone shading ;;w;; !! Thank you for the kind words rom <3

thank you so much!!! I really appreciate it >w<

THANK YOU TABBIEEE!! >W< I'm glad you enjoyed those, I really loved doing them and they were really fun to do while taking a break from inking/coloring!!

WOOOWW IM SO HAPPY YOU NOTICED THAT PARALLEL BECAUSE IT WAS V INTENTIONAL HEHEHEHE (and ofc me sneaking in little references to my other solo work!!) I’m so glad you liked it and tysm :3 !!

thank you for reading!! i had a lot of fun balancing my softer art style and the creamsicle-ness of the colors with the visceral and striking imagery i was aiming for :)

this is taking me tf out so hard I can’t even come up with a witty response LMAO thank you kai, it means a lot and I’m so looking forward to yalls entry!!

thank you so much pilot!! I’m really happy to have been able to participate in your jam—I really didn’t get an idea until after it started and I’m so glad I did cause this was a real challenge for me, but I also learned so much and had so much fun <3 a short and bite-sized view of these characters are exactly what I was aiming for and I’m glad that even if we don’t get to see that much you can get a sense of them and what they’re about!!!

also of course I will immortalize our Fortnite parodies!! I WOULD LIKE A CHUG I WOULD LIKE A JUG—

Yay!! Thank you so much :3 Hehehe I am definitely glad to have captured a vibe as delicious as doll-shaped gummy candy~

yaay this is so good!! i really enjoyed the writing and i did NOT expect the ending at all! i also really loved the feel of this game, from the 3d backgrounds to the character designs and the wiggle-y visual effect! good work, you two :3 !!

I really loved this one! It was a fun glimpse into the world of being a maid, and it made me think about if there are clientele out there like this!! I really loved how we get to know a little bit about all the other characters and what their deal is. The visuals and music also were amazing. I loved the opening video and song a lot, especially! I feel like it's sort of rare to see them in the scope of a game jam entry! Overall, it was both entertaining and also I enjoyed the moments where it was more serious, too <3 Good work :D !!

THIS WAS SO GOOD. i feel like the atmosphere was immediately set and i was SUPER immersed in this gorgeous game from beginning to end. every element was stunning, from the story and the pacing, to the art and especially the textures, to the programming and the way the GUI was set up!! and of course, the sound!! i feel like it really helped enhance the horror elements. i almost rarely have physical reactions when reading something but when i tell you how many times my jaw dropped or i had to squint and shrivel up in horror... DAAAMNNN.... a total 10/10!!!!

soooOO cute!! heres my creation :3

this one was on my reading list for awhile and im so glad i got to it today! really unique premise and i enjoyed watching all 3 characters interact. the art was super cute and programmed in such a way that it really felt brought to life! the music, of course, also helped in this regard. for sure a memorable vn :3

so cute :3 !

i really enjoyed this! each story was memorable in its own way, and then the reveal at the end... AND THEN GOING THROUGH IT AGAIN.... wow!! you accomplished so much in such a short period of time, and i loved reading about your influences in the notes section. i totally think you captured the vibes you were aiming for perfectly! :)

AAAUUGHH....... i was so drawn in by the atmosphere the whole time and even tho i vaguely had some dread from the beginning (and was honestly doing my best to ignore the red flags of our pov character), i couldve never imagined how everything culminated in such a wicked disaster. fabulous read, i really enjoyed it and there are so many moments where i was just like totally getting emotional, feeling disgust, feeling crazy amounts of dread, or even experiencing positive emotions while enjoying the punishment bits.... its an emotional rollercoaster. the type of story that reminds me WHY i enjoy toxic yuri at all to begin with. WONDERFUL.

this is AMAZING, i hope SINCERELY that everyone on this page downloads this visual novel because everything about it was stellar. the character designs, their personalities, the conflict they find themselves in... i was drawn in and HOOOOOOKED the whole time. utterly fantastic work, i seriously cannot recommend this ENOUGH.

i really enjoyed this!! there are many entries i love that feel like fairytale's in their own right, but i enjoyed how this one in particular was framed specifically as someone narrating the entire tale. that small shift in perspective was really cool and gives it a unique flavor. also the backgrounds were really nice, i loved the use of patterns. congratulations on your first vn :3 !!

the text is so wonderful, i really felt like i was transported to a different time and place. i also really enjoyed the character sprites. looking forward to more for sure!

wow thank you so much for such a thoughtful review!! I’m honestly at a total loss for words but I appreciate it so much, and I’m glad to see that a lot of what I was aiming for came across ;;w;; <3

i adore your art style, it reminds me of aya takano's tarot deck illustrations, but is also unique in its own way. simply gorgeous! the overall atmosphere of this story feels so whimsical yet so dark, and you nailed the balance perfectly. definitely glad i checked it out <3

it's like reading a fairytale or looking at a beautiful painting... i loved it and the mix of pixel art and photographic backgrounds was done really well. kinda makes me wanna be a mermaid too. also, even if the ending is just a little sad, it's also super gay and i love that... <3

this is so creative! it reminds me of games like hypnospace outlaw or who's lila (both of which i LOVE), where you can kind of snoop around in web pages/files and see how to progress further. i was really intrigued by the small bits of world-building, and also i thought the voice logs were a really cool addition! it's really remarkable how fast this was put together :) good job~

ok so you pull me in with an intriguing little story about ani y*ut*be then you get me crying in the second story...  BOTH WERE SO GOOD.... i loved the plot of the first one and i feel like we really get to embody the humble weaboo's pov, and then in the second one it's like so poetic and by the end had me screaming, YES, I BELIEVE IN LOVE,,, I BELIEVE IN LOVE, EVEN WITH PAIN!!!
