A very Fran Bow feel. Love its short but dark concept. Nicely done.

Hello, Karitsa!
I saw this game on sale and I was immediately hit with dejavu from the beautiful art style. Did you or the artist/s involved happen to also help in the creation of a fantasy dating game featuring humanoid dragons as the (two) LIs? I can't remember its name, but the thought is nagging at the back of my head.
Absolutely delightful! Charming, well-made, and loyal to the Stardew spirit and characters! This is such a tremendous service to the community. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, from one fan to another. I'd love to get a version where you can choose to be other bachelor/ettes, but it is perfect the way it is.
Brattan's route got me feeling things and I just wsfknewklrvbglwbgvkrasfn-
He was my abso fave, but if I knew choosing him would go down the road it did... I honestly wouldn't have chosen it. If only to spare myself certain... feelings. At least we had each other in the end though.
Ultimately, a marvelously otherworldly experience. The creator really dove into the concept of making a monster world and executed it so well that I am left... struggling to comprehend the uniqueness of it. Not out of xenophobia or discomfort, but just... the novelty of the take.
Short, but lovely. If you aren't a wuss about flesh and blood (not gore, no), this is definitely worth playing through to get all the endings at least once imho.
Too good for its own good! I'm not that big of a Pokemon fan, but the writing and voice acting are just so goshdarn charming that I really wanna see more of this. I can actually say that this time, I wasn't charmed by a 2-D boy from just his looks, but his actual personality. I wanna be Garrett's friend, but at the same time really find him cute in a non-physical way. Please let this game come to its fruition! I wanna experience it in full.
Again, this is all my personal take. My suggestions. I don't rly mind if the author doesn't pay heed to it or not. It's just the 2 cents of a random internet stranger to them, after all. I do not however rescind any of my opinions on the matter as, after playing through the endings again, my thoughts remain the same. -w-; I'm posting this cuz I am genuinely surprised I got comments and several downvotes, though the feedback to my comment is appreciated... I guess? And thank you for not wishing to my death as I woulda expected from longform replies from comments haha.
The music is amazing, the art is that lovely soft pastel kind, and the meta concept is cool and fun-scary buuuut! The MC is unlikeable imo. They're written like everything is kind of a bother if you choose even a relatively tame negative reaction, but if you do choose to go for yandere boy, MC becomes conveniently stupid ignoring the tell-tale signs (as in, ready to jump on that d*ick kind of stupid). The latter is perhaps acceptable for convenience but maybe change how they narrate so they don't sound so judgey or at least so they sound more neutral? If they choose certain options THEN make them more inclined to narrate in a certain way, is what I suggest. Additionally, maybe not make it so that even though the narration is in first person they somehow have eyes on the back of their head (i.e. "I didn't notice him hungrily trailing his eyes on my behind", etc.). First person narratives should only encompass things that the narrator themselves notice with us, being the player, picking things up on the background for context clues. Lastly, I know the guy is a yandere and all, but maybe make his advances and actions a little less obviously desperate. I mean, I know he is desperate but him getting what he wants hinges on him acting... not so creepily into us after we literally just got home invaded. The option to have him over at our place after Violet warns me about a break-in had me internally screaming (more of in panic). A tip I can suggest to ensure the dialogue is more subdued and manipulative is this: if the yandere boy were replaced with someone not-so-handsome, would the lines be interpreted as creepy af? Could anyone irl be able to get away with saying that shite without being branded a creep? Unless the plan is he's edited even how we respond and narrate so he could get his best endings as easily as possible.
That aside, this critique was made in mind cuz I really want it to succeed. It's such a nice concept and you're only early on the story so I wanna see it work. Best of luck to you!
This game is the best damn VN I've played in a longass while. The concept was interesting and unique; the characters charming and distinct (not just cuz they're animals and colored diff tho!); the dialogue convincing, organic, and entertaining; the music slaps; and the story is worth going through the puzzles for. The art style is so simply drawn but absolutely charming in its own way.
Thank you for making this great work of art! Hope to see more of your work down the line. <3
From what I can tell, MENTD was making a perfectly reasonable case and criticism to this game in the above comment. Just because the feedback isn't glowingly positive doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, this is constructive criticism for the dev. The only butt in this thread is you tbh.
Tho I must admit that in the latest comments, MENTD has become increasingly more irate. My advice for them would be to give up on this until the dev actually bothers responding as the fix they're asking for may very well take a while.
