Hehe you are going to enjoy our director belle’s reflection post where she goes into her inspirations!

And stay tuned for more 😄

I’m so glad that came across! There’s definitely a Mari and Goldie in all of us! The team did a wonderful job 😄

I am so curious if it the first, second, or the third ending you liked the most (by options order top to bottom)?

STUNNING visuals and effects that convey eldritch terror so well. The CGs, audio, use of chapter titles (love the striking blackletter), all work together to create an intensely immersive and atmospheric piece.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Also if you love kitties, the purring sound effects is going to SEND YOU!!! So many beautiful animals in here, and a funny bits like the drawing in the journal entry and the lieutenant’s reassurances.

This is an otherworldly experience that works well on so many levels!

Wonderfully haunting, Coraline like story!

The art, music, and even the names of all the characters fit the tone very well. A cautionary tale and an ode to all the housewives who ever had to put up with this kind of BS!

Lovely use of silhouettes and Tim Burton-esque eye bags to convey the mood of the whole story. This is such a haunting tale that makes me sad for all the housewives that had to put up with this!

I appreciated how everyone’s names was THE WIDOW, THE NOSY VILLAGER, THE WIDOW’S FRIEND, giving the sense of Brother’s Grimm fairy tale anonymity to everyone.

The music set the tone so well, as did all the creepy CGs! It takes a toll on you to pick the choices that unlocks the final CG, and it’s such a relief to have another path where she

SPOILER ALERT BELOW

stands up for herself!

Can’t wait to see your reactions!!

Yayyyyy let us know what you think when you play!!!

Me too! I like how groovy Mr. Teacher’s track is too and Strength’s intro!! As for story, you’re in for some surprises! (A surprise to me too haha we will see what will unfold hehe)

Amazed by the awesome VO directing and talent on the team! The amount of detail put in the scene programming action by Rae and DKG + the fact Belle made 178 sprites is hella inspiring!

I’m so grateful to be brough on to the team, these characters were so much fun to write! Shannon did awesome with the villainous monologues and character intros and Rae with the WAND WHACKING and flashbacks! I loved writing Tabbie and Eden’s classroom banter too and Mr. Teacher’s personality XD!

Thank you so much! THIS MAGICAL GIRL IS A VERY MEMEABLE and everyone made so much art for us to work with! It was so much fun to design!!!

We actually ended up doing it on a shared canva so everyone’s little nudges made their way in too XD

😭 It truly is! The team is working so hard to add even more polish for the Spooktober submission deadline!

Hehe thank you! We are putting finishing touches to it for tmmr, so this is just an early build!

Beautiful and surreal! I love the use of the character as a character and the way the environment transforms, especially the lady's face

COOL CONCEPT MY EYES HURT THO XD

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 

I could definitely feel the love and affection put into this! Finished the previous winter gears VN too last night and it really touched me. Love seeing how the doll theme has evolved through your works. 

Also, I really like that the dialogue is further up, it actually makes it a lot easier to take in the character's expressions at the same time! Never thought of this. You are inspiring me to want to make more cinematic VNs with Reaper's Goodbye. Your works are stunning!

This story of a warm-hearted girl and her interactions with other characters gave me the fuzzies! I love how you incorporated winter into this little match girl vibe, it has a sense of hope and innocence to it combined with funny cheeky moments, like when she was teasing the copper about supposed photos.

I appreciate all the details from the lovely textures in your art style and the placement of the UI. Looking forward to experiencing more of this wonderful story. Please do continue it! 🥰

Love the character expressions and the dialogue effects, pausing at the right times, speeding up, appreciate all the love put into this! I felt immersed in the personality of the characters and what they were saying

Wish there was more!

I can't believe you made this in 10 days, this is incredibly polished! Loooooove the bunnies

So sweet and cathartic! Love Mei's positive outlook, definitely wish I had a friend like that haha. She seemed wise beyond her years, like an auntie type 

This is goals as well:

Hehe 🥰

Second time playing and enjoying the playful banter!!
The first time I got confused because I thought the first speaker was the mage haha, but it was the vampire talking about the mage!!

Zephyros and Lycos have cute rhyming names XD
I also love that Lycos likes strawberries ^^ Appreciate the ancestral backstory, poetry, and setting blood-drawing boundaries hehe

This is so heartbreaking! I love the variety of dialogue options and bits of worldbuilding (would love to visit the Singing Oceans and Fractured Peaks).

Appreciate the tongue-in-cheek lines and the sound effects work so well too! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Edit: latest updates for demo added!

Yay awesome! We are updating again in a couple of hours with the latest fixes for both windows and mac.

Hopefully you choose a path where you don't notice anything haha! We just realized our windows build fix is missing a couple of assets we added in our mac build that one of our programmers forgot to push 😅

How unlucky! We just pushed an update on windows so you must've downloaded it when it was swapping the files!

I just downloaded it rn (testing) and it's working so far for me! (I'm even simulating windows on mac haha)

One time a fox ate three of my hens overnight...or did they die of old age because i spent so long petting them and collecting eggs T.T

You need to be facing the inner grid, and the inner grid needs to be touching the big grid that you are on for the rotate to work!

I had this issue before but I realized the smaller grid needs to be touching the bigger grid you are on in order for you to rotate it
(Edit: And you need to be facing the grid)

thanks!!

This is rad!!

Anything for kitty!! This was the hardest for me.

The seal ball one was soooooo cute, that was my fav aesthetic!

I found it easier to beat to close my eyes and just listen! It's just a higher difficulty level (and a little stressful) but rewarding to beat once you take the time to learn the tricks of it!

I found the culprit! This whole world and the case was super immersive, great job on that!

Felt like it would have been more satisfying to have an afterword to get the consequences of who you convict and what happens after that.

Also this error popped up a few times while talking to Tal

So nice to talk to some wise elders hehe
Also love Marcel's sassy expression sometimes and his perpetual beak pout!

Aww I think you really got the stomachache | foodache | heartache across well. Really like the way everything came together, from the font to the sound effects to advance and all the background sounds in the store!

This is so cuteeee!! Awwww I like the ending 

Lmaoooo the expressions are too funny!!

Sooo relaxing

Sweet!

haha it was at the end with the marshmallow stick!
