i saw this game, read the description and some of the reviews and got it on a whim. i never was particularly drawn to visual novels, but everything i'd seen about this game seemed to pique my interest, so i decided to give it a go. i bought the game and started it the next morning, got stuck for 20 minutes trying to choose a name, and then proceeded to sink the next 14 hours into the game. another 2-ish hours later and i've just finished my first route, august's (darling, my dear, absolutely charming).

everything is so wonderfully done, the plot is captivating and it was exactly like a book i couldn't put down, and i have a lot of fun going back and exploring all the options and their outcomes! the characters are all so interesting and charming and i really want to know all about them. i get !!!! feelings when i look at/think about august and how they're nb thank you so much for that ;w; the artwork is absolutely beautiful too! and! and! i really appreciate that there is no obligation to take part in sexual scenes, i just really appreciate that the option is there.

i have to say i greatly appreciate and really enjoyed the way the story develops and how there was a little notice about the big big decision that determines the route bc i'm real bad at making choices and despite all that and also knowing that i can scroll back to previous options, i still quicksaved every 1-2 minutes ;;; but the warnings helped me relax a bit!

this is my first visual novel in a long while, and it gripped me more than i honestly expected and i enjoyed the experience so much that i probably won't stop thinking about it for a while, and i really don't want to stop playing! thank you for putting so much love and effort into making this game, and thank you for putting out such a beautiful and wonderful game. it was an absolute delight to play, and is definitely one of my favourite games.

had a lot of fun playing this game! i was hesitant at first bc i'm a scaredy cat, but i'm really glad i played this! combat at the start was tricky for me, but eventually i got the hang of it and cleared most of the game with one employee and got my 100%! kind of tempted to go back and explore the other employees, if only just so i can sit in the wonderfully unsettling ambience in this game. i appreciate that there weren't many jumpscares, and instead there is a creeping sense of dread that builds as you find out more about this establishment and it's occupants. i also had a lot of fun finding out that there was more behind this game actually. check out the promotional website, and take a good look around!

overall a very fun game, every part was wonderfully executed, the artwork, the music, the weird stuff that happens when you're in certain places, etc. equal parts funny and creepy, i really enjoyed this game, thank you!

i love jigsaws! this was very nice and fun and helped me relax a whole lot, even when i was trying to figure out some of the more complex levels. really enjoyed the whole atmosphere and the notes that play when you pick up pieces, as well as the beautiful images. puzzles were complex enough to be challenging, but not frustrating. i had a really good time playing, thank you!
