Chapter 8:
Aw, this cover art is very sad. :(
OMG, I desperately want to read the scene of Flea taking Tabby to the vet. Is it on Patreon? Will it be? That had to be hilarious.
I love that while I'm fretting over vet bills and check engine lights, Flea is splashing out on engraved cat food bowls with his completely unnecessary salary. LOL
Listen, I'm not a doctor, but Flea might want to get tested for ADHD... ::ducks::
"We're over. Don't chase after me." - I literally said "That's not Flea" right before the text did. Ha!
"I can't love you." ::describes feeling the dictionary definition of love:: M'kay, babe.
Favourite lines:
"At least the little rectal prolapse is good for something." [Eesh. Descriptive.]
and:
"Obviously, I'd rather do a hot sauce enema..."
***
Looks like that's it for now. Hope this was a fun ride for us both! Happy birthday, btw. 💜💜💜

Chapter 7:
I love that Flea is jealous of the fact that I'm jealous of Tabby liking him more than me. 😆
"...this kind of torture is so far beyond what's necessary for a feeding" My dear Flea. Now, what have we just recently learned...?
Judging by the awesome tentacley look of this nightmare demon, I'm willing to be it isn't thrilled with the somewhat non-dread-inducing name of "bogey".
I laughed out loud at the whole "you're safe" "I know" "well, good, 'cause you are" "I know" "good!" LOL
OMG my cat likes me. She really likes me! 🐱
Favourite lines:
...if he puts the TV on a low volume he can pick up where he left off on his 'Housewives of Wherever the Fuck' marathon.
and:
"Welcome to the world of demons ... Feel free to sit down as you process." [Heard this line like a flight attendant's announcement.]
and:
"Thank fuck we've got Detective Ortega on the case for this one, 'cause I never would've thought of that." [snort laugh]

Chapter 6:
Very excited to see how this living together thing works out.
OMG, I am so jealous my cat likes Flea more than me. Unfair. 😾
Man, poor Ted. I think he cares too much - like, in general - to keep doing this job. He might want to look into HVAC repair or something.
Also... poor Flea. His accidental love is giving him schizophrenia.
But it's all worked out now, so I'm sure this will never, ever come up again and it's totally and completely resolved. Ha. Ha.
Favourite lines:
"I have cataracts anyway. Barely saw a thing." [I cackled.]
and:
(He sounds like he means full offense to Ted.)

Chapter 5:
Aw, poor Flea. Nice to finally see him again, but frustrating that he's just been living like he has nothing instead of coming "home".
Oh, hey! It's that guy I felt bad for in chapter 1! ::waves at Jack::
I'm sorry, Flea isn't interested in hot chocolate? Mr. No-One-Ever-Told-Me-How-Good-Food-Tastes doesn't want... chocolate??? I call a foul.
Another very cool demon design. All of your demons have such awesome, unique looks to them.
You've Pavloved me into thinking, "Well, that's going to need at least a blowjob," every time Flea gets hurt.
I've had the pancake ingredients... for weeks? I hope I've been replacing the milk and eggs! 😰
Favourite lines:
"His screams almost sound like music."
and:
"...underneath the trick there is a wound that he won't let you see - the scarred stumps of his lost wings." 😢

Chapter 4:
Aw, the cover art on this one looks so sad. 😔
I absolutely read "Rachel Meadow" as "Rachel Maddow" at first and thought, wow, the people in this story keep getting more famous(!!).
You know, I never thought about it until reading this just how much worse it would be to be in an abusive relationship with someone who is a remote worker. At least when they leave for work, you have some time to yourself, time to plan to get away, time to think. Poor Rachel.
The wraith has a cool look to him, too. I like your demon visual descriptions.
Awww, Flea's a vegetarian - maybe even a vegan? That's so cute.
Yay! Flea's true form! I've been wanting to "see" it.
Well. The lesson I've learned here is to never try to work things out with family. heh.
This is my favourite chapter thus far, though!
Favourite lines:
"I'm his partner. The brains of the operation, really."
and
Not a "line" but... Ted is literally me. Wait, is he literally me? I choose to believe he is.

Chapter 3:
No, dear, I actually wasn't going to sell my soul. Due to being, you know, not a total moron.
Oh, wow. Um, where's the opt-out button? I would really rather not stuff a stun gun down my pants!
Ooh. Is that what Flea looks like for real, then, too? Very awesome.
I just love the club in general. Very well described and it seems like a pretty cool place to spend an evening.
The more tender exchange back at the apartment was really nice. With my choices, at least, it was the first time it felt like something other than "feeding the demon".
I love that Flea is so clueless about basic human shit like food and cell phones. Adorable! 💜
Favourite lines:
"They should really stop advertising ice cream on their window outside."
and
"This is dire" (Guilty.)
and
"He looks like he's waiting for a job interview or to apply for a bank loan or something."

Chapter 2:
Okay, Chimera do not sound very nice!
I feel so bad for that poor unhoused man in the alley. He was probably just trying to get some sleep, and he did not consent to this.
Pandemonium is a wicked cool name for a demonic dimension!
Flea is very clearly hiding something about why he's here and not home in Pandemonium. He seems to have forgotten I'm a detective! I will wheedle it out of him sooner or later...
I do believe I've known some people who liked shoes just as much as Little Red. It's an... interesting community.
I'm intrigued that Flea stopped me from feeding Little Red instead of just sitting back and letting it happen. Seems like he might ... kinda like me? Or, maybe he just really hates Little Red.
I feel so bad for Ted. But not so sure learning about demons is going to make him feel any better.
Yousef Nader?? The biorobotics Vesuvius guy?? Oh, no! 😁
LOL I love that he's an anime geek and the cops are holding onto his merch.
Flea is very brave, petting a cat while he's buck-ass nekkid. Great way to end up with even more injuries which only my sexual healing can attend.
This new demon - who, you know, Flea could have helped me to not accidentally summon - has a cozy Crowley feel to him. That is, the look of a Good Omens Crowley with the specialties of a Supernatural Crowley.
Favourite lines:
"...like he was made for it." [Well, I do believe he was, actually.]
and:
"Oh my god - does she like me more than you?"
So, I've played all the chapters (so far, that is - through #8) - and I just kind of... jotted down little thoughts, notes, and comments as I went along. Thought I'd share them. If my "reviews" feel more like "stream of consciousness drivel", that'd be why!
I choose to be a male, masc., mid-30s, average height, messy disaster. Started off pretty mean and/or stand-offish with Flea, and then slowly moved toward being more earnest as the chapters went on. By chapter 6 or 7 I was a simp. So, not sure what I might have missed out on by not playing consistently all the way through.
Oh, and for any of you not-yet-played-but-reading-the-comments-anyway types, there are definitely spoilers in here. Look away!
Chapter 1:
LOVE the cover art. All those spiked teeth and violet eyes - awesome.
Tabby! Yay, I have a cat!! Well... kinda.
I feel bad making Ted worry about me so much. Like I wanted to start tidying up my messy house real quick just to make him feel better; pretend I've just been busy lately and that's why it's so bad.
Love the design of the fiend - white skin, red cracks that flow, spiky-thorned bald head. Sounds like a more awesome Pinhead. Plus, its little shimmer-twang dimension shifting sounds cool.
I had to laugh at how my car is a total heap with bad suspension, yet I'm like, "My upholstery!! 😨"
The Chapter 1 ending really makes me want to go right to Chapter 2 to see how this deal shakes out.
Favourite lines:
"...which might, if he's lucky, be rainwater."
and:
"yeah, sure - knowledge. Nerd."
(Guilty.)
